Nezperoe. Idaho. July 22.-Tc
the Nezperce Herald We would
like to say a word or two In regard
TO the south part OF Russell precinct
which vas cut OFF from Nezperce
precinct four years ago and placed
where Il nov Is. Now We don't
want 10 be kickers bat want only
what Is fair and just and II
there is any way 10 get II We want
II. In the frs, place when NC were
put in the Russell precinct where We
have to travel from ten to twenty
miles TO register and The same dis
tance to vote, and TO a place where
&c have no other business. the CON-
missioncrs did not consult as or our
wishes In the matter. Twice since
tha, time We have petiiioned the
commissioners TO put Us back Ia
Nerpercc precinct where VIC would
not have 10 travel nearly so far and
where We have business that calls
as there, but We have received no
relief whatever. We have sent In
petitions With almost every voters
name In the effected part Of the pre-
cinct and could have bad all OF them
no doubt had &c seen them. and while
there vas not a single protest against
the petition, yet Il was turned down.
Nov Il seems 10 Us that Il would be
but little trouble for the commission
ers 10 gran, as the relief asked for
In this matter II they want TO. but II
they do not want 10 give usthis relief
they can no doubt find some excuse
for not doing so even though Il don't
amount to any thing. When Il comes
to paying taxes we are not shown any |
favors but have 10 pay jus, as much
Ia proportion as the rest OF the county.
Il is much easier for the commission
ers 10 set ia the court house and tell
US what We can do than Il for Us to
do L. Even though Il takes US two
days extra time 10 90 and register
and vote and Il would perhaps take
them fifteen or twenty minutes 10
grant Us what We are asking for, and
no one would be hurt, yet We mus,
endure this because they Say so, no
matter how much trouble Il causes
US. Ifthey arc doing this because
they think II is good political move
they may find out different this fall
as We are going TO use our best efforts
at the coming election to elect some
one who will try and do some good
for the people and some one who
knows what he is doing.

Philadelphia. Dec. 13.-That the divorce

than degrading the nation. and that the Old
World would lose much OF its moral rottenness
if its laws for the severance Of marriage bonds

sermon delivered this morning by the Rev DE-
Joseph krauskopf. Of the Temple keneseth Is
rael one OF the most wildly known rabbis In
this part of the country.
Rabbi Krauskopf's address based on the
facts recently made public by the national CEN
sus bureau that one wedding in every twelve
erefs1sn Z 1sgaI separation. and three-foErths OF
those who seek severance Of the marital ties are
women
Rabbi Krauskopf called attention to the sta
tistics showing that nearly two million hus-
bands and wives had been separated within the
last twenty years and said: This report
though 10 surprise to those who have observed
the trend of things in late years. has startled
the nation and has kept the prophets Of i'll quite
busy since its publication. Some of these are
practically counting the days until marriages

the present rate of divorce. they claim that in
the year 1920 every marriage entered into will
ultimately be severed by law. Trial marriage.
advocated a few years ago as a novelty, ac-
cordfng 10 their view. becomes reality
Reverting to the census figures, Rabbi hraus-
kopf said that. while they we're saddening, he
failed to find reason for utter disheartenment or
for such predictions those given by the
prophets Of i'll" He declared that he was in
cIined to discern in the facts presented a hope
for brighter day, nobler conjugal life and
a larger domestic happiness than had ever OBJ
tafned in human society. He set forth his rea-
sons for these opinions by saying:
When I analyse the causes of unhappy mar
riages; when l note by whom, for the most part,
divorces are sought, to whom they granted
and for what cause; when find that tuo-thirds
of the divorces are granted TO wronged women;
that wives find il more and more insuherable to
continue yoked to husbands who have disgraced
their manhood who have violated the sanctity
of womanhoOd. who have polluted the purity of
the marital tie; when these facts l note l see
the day coming when marriage will have far
