W. T.. CHANDELIER.

When the Republicans nominated
MI W. E. Chandler for Superintend-
ent Of our schools the party evidently
had the best interests Of the schools in
mind Mr.. Chandler is a graduate of
Michigan University and especially
fitted himself for a teacher and follow
ed his chosen profession for some time,
until failing health drove him from
the school room. lie came to the head
Of the lake that he might receive the
benefit of our healthy climate and to
build up business in our growing city,
lie is in every respect well fitted for
the office of superintendent, and if ell
ected. as he no doubt viii be, viii give
the Office all due time and attention.
BE sure that you vote for Mr.. Chand-
Ter FOR superintendent Of schools.

j. ID. WHITNEY.

J. d. Whitney is the Republican
candidate for Coroner. Everybody

possible. He lives at the East End

specialty-and every time he sees a sick
looking man he takes his measure at a
glance and orders his box. He has got
the size of every Democrat in town
and viii be ready to fill all orders next
Wednesday morning. There is only
just one thing whit. is not sure on,
and that is dead Injuns-especielly
when they freeze to death. But as a
whole he makes a number one Cor
oner, and he VIII be elected almost
unanimously.

CHAMP GREEN.

Champ Green, is the Republican can
didate for District Attorney. lie has
held the office for two years, and has
given such good satisfaction that
the Republicans at their county con-
vention readily nominated him for a
second term. Mr.. Green is admitted
to be one Of the best lawyers in the
county, and certainly the county's In
terests have been well guarded by him
so far as he had jurisdiction over them.
Mr.. Green is a true blue Republican,
very popular with the masses, and will
be elected by handsome majority
next Tuesday. Don't be deceived in
any of the nonsense stories that may
be told about him, by the enemy, but
see that his name is on your ticket be
fore you vote it.

Little Rhody Right at Last

Rhode Island has long been the
only State in the Uuion without a re-
publican form of g vernment. If any
southern state hal violated both che
letter and spirit of the fundamental
law of the nation as RI ,de Island has
done by the arbitrary disf,anchisment
of many citizens, Congress would have
sent bayonets to correct the wrongs;
but as the little New England State
was Republican in vote although not
Republican in form Of g>vernm mt,
nothing was done about it.
After long aud often discouraging
battles, the people of Rhode Island
have finally made their State Constitu-
tion to harmonize With our republican
form of government. Heretofore
naturalized citizens could not vote in
Rhode Island unless they possessed a
property qualification; and the State
has presented the singular spectacle OF
a nsturslized citizen who represented
Rhode Island in Congress subsequent
ly becoming disqualified as voter by
reverse of fortune.
The amendments to the fundamental
law were adopted in April last by a
vote Of 20,068 to 1913, but the vote
wss not officially declared until last
week. The enlarged suffrage will
make the State close political. Times

after reaching the prison:

Deserton Alone no Ground for Divorce


Judg' Hinckley filed an opinion in
a divorce case on the l4th, in which
he rsfuses to make decree, nothing
but desertion being alleged in the com
plant. II would be well IL the law ss
laid down by him were better under
stood by married people who tire of
each other, and think that mere
separation for two years entities them
TO divorce. Judge Hinckley says:
The libellant in this case asks to be
divorced from his wife on the ground
of desertion; aud the testimony shows
that bis wife has left his house, taken
her goods away and some of his, and
this has continued for upwards of two
years.
We do not think that the law con-
templates the granting of a divorce in
every case when q wife or husband
leaves the society or home of the other.
A divorce is allowed by the law after
everything else has failed, and it is
known conclnsively that the parties by
their conduct have made it impossible
to live together. Not every going
away from home, or every absence
persisted in for two years, will entitle
the parties to divorce; else every
marriage relation mutually uncongenial
could be dissolved by this simple act.
In his case it is not shown that the
husband has ever attempted to bring
back his sbsent wife or even to ascer-
tain from her the cause of her depart
ure; apparently he seizes upon her
departure at once as reason for a
divorce and the court iu granting his
request, might seperate those from the
marriage tie that some misunderstand-
ing has temporarily separated, and
whom a word, or personal interview
or bona fde effort of some Kind
might bring together again. A divorce
will be granted by the court only in
cases where nothing else remains to b ,
done by the parties, and when nothing
else can bring relief to those suffering
iu the way pointed out by the statute.
In this case further opportunity will
be given to later testimony in order
that no injustice may be done the
libellaut; but for the present decree
is refused.

Inventor keeIy In Jail.

There was an interesting scene in
Philadelphia court Saturday last, when
Judge Finletter decided that Inventor
John W. Keely of Keely motor celeb
rity should 60 TO prison and stay there
until he had purged himself of the con-
tempt committed in not obeying che
order OF the Court, which required him
to clearly explain to committee of ex-
perts the workings of his machine.
Mr.. Keely endeavored to purge himself
OF contempt, saying:
81 desire 10 state most emph tically,
whatever may have been the constrpc-
tion put upon my action or the conclp-
sions arrived at by the Court, that
nave had no intention to violate or dis
obey its orders, and am wholly uncon-
soious of having in any particular, in
word or in deed, said or done that
which can properly be construed as a
violation of the process of the court. /

myself to be a swindler In face oi
the further fact that DIR. Cresson has,

the truth of this has been made to APP
pear by recent statements made by
Prot. Marks In the public press, in
which he asserts that ny invention is a
swindle. II may we'll be assumed by the
Court, l think, and l am entitled, ]
think, to the benefit of the assumption,

ties of jure.s, entertaining such views

it to "the monstrous injustice of the

state that the prohibitionists aided in
