DIVORCE LAWS.

Since the adjournment of the national
divorce congress, which recently formu-
lated a statute embodying its recon-
mendations for uniform divorce laws in
all the states, there has been a good
deal of discussion as to the possibility
of securing its adoption by the states
which alone can legislate on the sub
Ject.
In this statute, six causes for abso-
lutte divorce are named: Adultery, big
amy. conviction and sentence for crime
followed by continuous Imprisonment
for at least two years., extreme cruelty
such as to endanger life or health, ha-
bitual drunkenness for two years. and
willful desertion for the same length of
time.
From the opinions pronounced by the
newspapers of the country. it seems
likely the recommendations of the con-
gress viii be acceptable TO a majority
of the states. Indeed, most of them al
ready provide for DEGREES based on these
causes, although South Carolina has no
ground for absolute divorce, and New
York only one.
Utah provides six causes. and the
wording of its statute is so broad that
the limits of DEGREES depend largely
upon its Interpretation by the trial
judge. For instance. neglect to provide
the lecessaTtes Of life is good ground
for an absolute decree in this state. but
the definition Of necessaries may be
varied widely in the discretion of the
court. Cruel treatment such as TO
cause great bodily injury or great men,
tai distress is also valid ground for a
decree here, but great mental distress
is so flexible a term that careless courts
in Utah, under proper evidence, might
make the statute cover refusal to buy
a new bonnet or rise at a. m. to fire Ut
the furnace.
Fortunately, Utah's courts have been
uniformly wise in the administration OF
the law, but the possibilities of such a
statute suggest the difficulty of secur-
ing, not only a uniform law, but a uni
formly wise Interpretation of the law
in accord with the spirit which repre-
hends the scandaiOus abuses of existing
statutes in some states, notably South
Dakota. There is no doubt as to the
public demand for legislation that shall
reform existing abuses, but the move
ment should go further and see to il
that the interpretations of the courts
comply with the spirit as well as the
letter of the law.

ceries or lumber without an inventory
by experts. will accept the unconfirmed
word of promoters for the value of
mining stock that may have no sub
stantial foundation at all. When they
lose, they blame the mining business
without stopping to consider that they
are responsible for their own neglect
of business methods.
Still further: In many mining under
takings the risk of loss is necessarily
large and fully understood by men IA
miliar with the business. If the ven
ture wins, it wins heavily, and if it
loses there is no salvage. As in all
other financial undertakings the risk is
exactly proportional to the chance of
profits; if the risk is large the chance of
is a "cinch" the investment is so at
tractive that the returns are usually
about the same as from any other safe
investment
The curse of the mining business is,
and always will be, the willingness of
dishonest men to misrepresent their
stocks, to divert money to their own
pockets which should by right be de-
voted to improvement of property, to
promise profits which they know can
never be paid. In this particular there
is no difference between mining and
any other form of business. The pub
lie which in times past has been bum
coed by 'industrials'' floated on delu-
sive prospectuses, which has bought
railroad securities inflated beyond any
limit of honest value, which has sunk
money in the various trusts that prom
ised so well and turned out so badly
is the same public that now rushes in
to buy mining stocks without any
knowledge of their real value.
Just one protection is needed for in
vestOrs, and that is the exercise of COM
mon business sense. The men who
have bought standard Park City stocks
or Bingham stocks, who have bought
sound Nevada stocks of any kind, have
no occasion to regret their purchase,
The men who have been lured into the
wildcat" business because they would
not study what they were buying will
lose, not because the mining business
is unsound, but because they themselves
have invited disaster by disregard of
the plainest rules of business.

THE DREAD OF CHRISTMAS.

An eastern monthly gives lengthy ed
itoriaI consideration to the dread with
which people have come to regard the
approach of Christmas because, it says,
the day has come to be a tax, the occa-
sion for needless and extravagant ex-
penditure. In support of this conten-
ton, it publishes number of letters
of the holiday and propose remedies for
its evils.
To begin with, the whole assumption
that reasonable, sane folks dread the
day seems about as futile piffie as ever
found its way into print. The joy of
the day is the joy of giving; and none
but a compound lunatic need feel
obliged to give so much that it will dis
joint his purse and make him a de-
pendent for the next year. The value
of the gift lies not in the amount of it's
cost or the size of the package it makes,
but in the thought, the love that goes
with it. A diamond brooch costing
thousands, unaccompanied by genuine
rag doll that cost a dime if the doll
is token of love and remembrance.
If the gift of Christmas calls for self
sacrifice, so much the better; if it de-
nands economy and possibly strenuous
self-denial, it is worth by more TO both
donor and recipient than the thought
less present of one who needs give no
thought to the cost of giving. That is
why the folks of small means get so
much more out of their holiday remem-
brances than do the people who have
everything and can give almost any
thing without feeling it.
In all the world there is no child so
poor at Christmas time as the one who
has everything, who can be gratified no
further. His only hope of happiness is
in giving, and even in that he can find
no such pleasure as comes to the young
ster who has saved his pennies all the
year to buy a present for the ones he
loves best.
No, there is mighty little need to
worry about the dread of approaching
Christmas. The only cause for appre-
hension and remedy is the possibility
that men may forget the joy of sacri-
fee. the happiness of giving, the value
of self-denial for the sake of some one
else; and it is one of the blessings of
mankind that these pleasures are so
sure, the returns so great that their
perpetuation is certain.

10000 PASSENGERS
COME TOCALIFORNIA
TOURIST INFLUX LARGEST IN HISTORY
Hotels and Apartment Houses Are Full to Doors
and Real Estate Agents Are Unable to
Supply the Demand for Houses
in Good NeighbOrhoods

Nearly 10000 persons, rs per cent OF
them home seekers, have been brought
into Southern California during the last
sixty days by the Santa Fe, the South
ern Pacific and the Salt Lake rail-
roads.
The close of one of the heaviest years
of travel to this section is drawing
near, and by tomorrow the last of those
who have taken advantage of the cheap
rates from the east will be In the city.
Since the first of September they have
been coming until now the depots and
baggage rooms of the roads are con-
gested with trunks until 1t has been
found necessary to pile them on the
platforms in order to facilitate the
work of delivering them to their own
ers.
An average of 1900 persons day has
been brought into the city by the three
roads, the Santa Fe averaging $50, ths
Salt Lake 300 and the Southern Pacific
$50. This average is based on the num-
ber of cars which arrive each day and
which has been greater than in any
preceding year. On many days the
Southern Pacific ran as high as sixty
cars, while the Santa Fe frequently
brought as many. Two sections, one of
nine cars and the other of eleven, came
in over the Salt Lake yesterday and
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-04

the same number will arrive today.
These cars carry an average of thirty
five persons or total of 200 persons for
each day.
Last Trains Crowded
1t Is expected the travel today and to-
morrow will by far exceed the travel
on any of the former days during the
last two months, as the majority of
those coming from the east await until
the last days the cheap rates are in
force before leaving their homes. These
rates expired October 81, and reports
received from Chicago state that all
trains for Southern California left that
city crowded to the guards on that
date.
According to the passenger agents of
the roads the majority of those who
have arrived have been home seekers
and many of them have not remained
in Los Angeles but have gone farther
south or north to make their homes,
while other left the trains before they
reached this city.
They state, however, the tourist
travel has been unusually heavy and
feel sure it will continue so, and pro-
fess to be greatly pleased with the re-
suit of the cheap rates this year.
While 1t is true that many of those
who have arrived have not remained
in Los Angeles, large numbers have,

GRANTED DIVORCE
FROM WIS. TUPPER
ACTION TAKEN ON GROUND
OF DESERTloN
Marital Ties Of Former President Of
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance
Company Are Quickly
Severed

on the ground of desertion Mrs.
Marie s. Tupper, wife of Wilbur s.
Tupper former president of the Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance company of Los
Angeles, was yesterday granted an
interlocutory decree of divorce by
Judge james in department seven of
the superior court.
The case, which has been the talk
of Los Angeles society for months,
occupied not more than thirty minutes
of the courts time and MIS-. Tupper
and one friend were the only witnesses
while a deposition from some man in
Chicago filled out the missing links
of evidence.
Mrs. Tupper arrived at court early
yesterday, accompanied by Attorney
Oscar Lawler. She was dressed in
black silk and from her actions 1t was
evident that she took no joy in the
proceedings.
In not more than twenty sentences
she told of her marriage to Tupper,
of his desertion and of his present
residence in Chicago. The testimony
of friend corroborated Mrs. Tupper' 5
statements and then the deposition
from Chicago establishing Tupper's S
residence there for some time finished
the proceedings and Mrs. Tupper was
Los Angeles herald., 1906-11-04

allowed an interlocutory decree Of di-
vorce.
The Tupper troubles first came to
light during the latter part of last
June when Tupper resigned his posi-
tion as president of the Pacific Mutual
Life Insurance company of Los An
geles, under pressure, it Is alleged, of
the board Of directors, after hearing
stories concerning him and q Los An
geles woman.
Tupper at that time was in Chicago
and handed his resignation to a mes
senger sent there for 1t.

JUDGE EWING TO LECTURE
Prominent Member Of Chicago Bar
viii Talk at Simpson Audi
torjun TODAY

Judge William q. Ewing Of Chicago
whom the Second Church of Christ,
Scientist. has called to lecture for It,
will speak this afternoon and tonight
at Simpson auditorium. Admission is
free.
"Whig" Ewing as he Is called by his
friends. received his nickname from the
friend of his boyhood, Abraham Lin
coin. 1t seems that Mr.. Lincoln was a
FREQUENT visitor at the Ewing home and
iokingly complained to the elder Ewing
that he was raising too many boys to
be "loco-focos," as the Democrats
were then called. and requested that
he be given one of the boys to bring up
a Whig. To this Mr.. Ewing replied
Take the rascal on the floor he will
make the best Whig." And immedi-
ately Mr. Lincoln christened him
"Whig," but, as history records, this
christening did not prevent the young
"Whig" from absorbing the political
faith of his father
During Mr.. Cleveland's first term he
was appointed by him as United States
district attorney. Following this he
was elected judge of the superior court
of Cook county, Illinois, serving six
years, and in 1898 refused a renomina-
tion that he might devote his time to
lecturing on Christian Science.

Hotel managers In the city also
agree that the season has been an ex-

many of them there Is scarce an un-

for several months at the Lankershim

large number at the Alexandra and
Angelus. The managers expect the ar
rivals will continue during the winter
months and say they expect the heav-
lest season I'm the history of the city.
other business men who are pleased
are rental agents. They say that never
before have they had so many calls for
houses, both furnished and unfurnished
and that they are compelled to keep
agents on the street listing at all
times In order to be able to meet the
demand. They state that those who
have made Inquiries thus far have, as
rule, been persons with money who
were willing to pay good rent for
houses and insisted on having places
in good neighborhoods, modern in
every respect.
Houses in Demand
According to real estate agents the
demand for homes has also been heavy,
the majority of those purchasing
wanting houses some distance from
the center of the city. They say they
have no difficulty finding purchasers
for houses of four or FIVE rooms, even
if It takes half hour to reach them
from the down town district. This
fact they say has caused a great deal
of activity In the building line i'm spite
of the high prices demanded for lum-
Der; that houses are springing up in all
sections and that contractors are in
many instances away behind with their
work.
