# FAILURE OF # LANGAN REMOVAL The press of Nevada is pretty well worked up over the failure of the state senate to vote for the removal of Judge Langan. We are proud to report, however, that the senator from Humboldt is not a target for the displeasure, because he saw his duty and voted "right." He accompanied his action by the sensible statement that it was his duty to help rectify wrongs, and because they cannot all be cured is no reason why this one should not be corrected, which is along the line of reasoning that nothing good is attained without effort and a start being made. Judge Langon, who, by the way, is also the judge who figured in the Mary Pickford divorce scandal, is held responsible for delay in winding up affairs of the State Bank & Trust Company of Goldfield, dragging settlement over a long period of years during which time a receiver, Frank Wildes, also waxed fat on a thousand dollars a month salary. Several state papers have spoken right out in their disapproval, in words seldom used in newspapers of Nevada. It shows editors are sincere and willing to take any possible comeback that may be sprung, be it court action for libel or personal abuse and persecution. It's time the press of the state takes a stand against injustice to the people. Nothing has been done to help the poor depositors who lost savings of lifetimes in this bank smash. People who had power to see that justice was done have sat back and thought the receiver a real smart man because he could pick up a soft job that would make him wealthy in a few years. The poor people who lost what they could save out of wages for hard work-they were simple-anyone who could get rich from their misfortune was all right. That's what is the matter with the country today-the willingness to cover up politicians who are too weak to stand for the rights of the people; who are willing to stand back and see injustices that they may carry favor and win soft jobs and easy money. Newspapers are not all to blame, however. A newspaper man has to live and eat, just the same as other people. He knows that if he tells the people about the acts of men who for the love of money will stoop to most anything, those men and their friends are going to make him pay for it in the coin of the realm. And nine times out of ten the people to be benefitted by such exposures don't care a rap anyway. It's not Socialism or Bolshevism that's needed-our present form of government is hard to beat and still maintain progress of civilization. What is needed if for the people to do a little thinking for themselves, refuse to elect professional politicians regardless of beautiful promises, and insist that men qualified for the jobs, and not afraid to stand up, make the campaigns. We must have more common honesty and desire for a fair deal all around, whether our own pocketbook is affected directly or not. Such men as those who voted to maintain Langan must be forever
