slae statement that is supposed

As a statement of an indisputablc

that could be urged against prohl-
bition, prohibition would soon
sweep the whole country.
The Evening Post believes that

zhe liquor question upOn the rlgld
lines of the law. 1t denies that
the right to sell liquor is an lnher-

right TO drink liquor ad llbitum Is
an Inherent public right.
The Supreme Court of the Uni

IRE not deprived of any natural

that the law states the only condl-
fions under which the traffic can
be tolerated.

Toe laws prohibiting the sale Of

the statutes and who use every de-

When men assume this attitude
toward other statutes they are con-

one MARRIAGE
Out of Twelve Has a Divorce
Court Finale
BY ellison Gardner.

Washington, Nov. 30. The
chances for married happiness, ac-
cording to the statistics just COM
piled by the Census Bureau, are
one in II. Out of every IL mar
riayes contracted. not less than one
is terminated by divorce.
During the past 40 years divor-
ces i'm the United States have in
creased at tremendous rate. Du-
ring the 20 years from 1887 to
1906. inclusive. the total number
of divorces was 1862 During
THE 20-year period, from 1861 on,
the total number was 32S. Il6. At
the beginning of the 40-year pc
riod divorces were being turned
out by our courts at the rate of
10000 a year: at the end of this
period they were coming out at the
Idtt vi DD.OOV a y
The total number of marriages
between 1887 and 1906 was 12.-
S32. .O44. During the first year re-
corded there were 1896 marri-
ages and the number increased
to S53, ,290 in 1906. The rate of
the increase was not uniform.
WIVES GOT THEM.
The figures show that the wife
generally secures the divorce. At
least two thirds of the number of
divorces granted during the past
20 years were accorded to the
wives.
The experts hold that it is not
necessarily due to the greater de-
pravity of the man that the woman
secures the divorce more frequent
ly. but in actual practice it is found
there are more well-recOgnized and
available grounds on which u
woman can secure a divorce than
there are provided for the man.
For example. there are many d.
vorces granted fol neglect to
provide" or nOnsuppOrt, which a
husband seeking divorce does not
often find to be an available ground.
The investigation, however, las
turned up six cases in the State of
Utah in which husbands obtained
divorces from their wives on that
ground.
TIE GREAT EVIL.
The most common single ground
for divorce is desertion. This ac-
counts for 3S.9 per cent of all the
divorces in the last 20 years.
The average duration of marri-
aages terminated by divorce is
about 10 years. Sixty per cent, or
three-iifths. last less than 10 years,
and 40 per cent last longer. The
number of divorces occurring in
the first year of married life is
about half as many as during the
second year, and the number in
creases until it reaches its maxi
mum in its fifth year. From that
point the number diminishes.
Children were reported in 1913
per cent of the total number of
divorce cases.
AMERICAS UNsPEAKABLE SrAIN
By James Cardinal Gibbons.
Divorce today, and | say it with
out reserve, is the one great black
spot upon American civilization.
1t is terrible, unspeakable. out
ra9eOus. The number of divorces
in the United States in proportion
to the population is the greatest in
the world. Think of that stain on
our escutcheon The great crimes
and scandals which are exciting SO
much comment nowadays can be
traced directly to lack of sane
tity in our family relations. 1t is
not 50 much marriage. but the sa-
credness Of marriage, which must

can hardly hope to improve.

EXTERNAL REMEDY FOR ECZEMA
why salvss Fau while . simple Liquid
mas Accomplished Thousand Of Cures.

II Is now thoroughly established among
the best medical authorities that eczema
Is purely a skin disease. due 10 a germ
and durable only through The skin. 1t
is not a blood disease at all; in fact
thousands OF people suffer with skin dis
ease and are perfectly healthy otherwise,
and therefore prove they have no diseased
blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the germs
because they do not penetrate the kin.
The only way to reach the germs is by
means OF a penetrating liquid.
Such a liquid can be obtained by simply
mixing ordinary oil Of wintergreen with
thymol, glycerine and other healing agents.
This compound known as D.. u. d. Pre-
scription stops the itch nstantly-and the
cures all appear to be permanent. In
fact, It took thousands Of cures. case after
case, before the best scientific authorities
were convinced Of the absolute merit Of
this remedy. The effect Of d. D. d. Pre-
scription in numbing the itching eczema
germs is seen within one minute after the
first application. We especially recon-
mend d. D. ID. Soap In connection with this

Nebraska plays down pat and are in a
position to build up a defense to stop scor-
ing by Nebraska. Coach Kennedy and his
assistants have seen the C~ornhuskers in &C
ton three times this fall, against Minnesota,
Iowa, and Ames. Under most conditions,
this ought to give the opposing coaches Of
a team a good line on the play Of the Corn
huskers, but this season 1t does not, how
ever.
At no time this fall has King Cole I'M
covered his entire repertoire. Not even
against Ames, the strongest team met so
far this season, were some OF the best in
v~entions displayed. The Nebraska coaches
have several plays devised especially for
the Jayhawkers, and when the men from
the Sunflower state come to Lincoln, they
will find that their observations have lone
them little good.
Kansas Slower in Defense.
II Is the general impression that the So
called 'peeka-aboo" offense was a failure
against Ames, and that the much talked
Of plays of king Cole proved to be a
failure. The facts are, however, that the
'peek-a-boo" was attempted only on two
occasions and one one of these worked sue
cessfully. It was not employed more often
because 1t was found that other plays
worked better. There are four or five va
reties of the 'peek-a-boo" which the Corn
huskers have learned and which were moi
disclosed last Saturday.
These plays Coach Cole and the member;
of the Nebraska team are confident car
be used with great success against Kansas
Against the Jayhawkers, who are moi
nearly so speedy as the Aggies and who
have not had so much experience in de-
fensive work against the forward pass
King Coles new inventions ar more
likely to gain ground. At least the Ne
braska rooters believe these plays will &C.
complhsh that. and they are expecting e
see some great open work next Saturday.
Tomorrow and the following two days
secret practice probably will be held at the
state farm, where several new plays
planned especially for Kansas will be
learned.

Methods Of transacting city business in
South Omaha are being probed by the
county grand jury in session at the court

Gilin and a number of other officials have
been ~subpoenaed.
1t Is understood that, as has already been
done in Omaha, the grand jury will go into
rather deeply the business methods of a
number Of tho departments OF the city
government of South Omaha. Charges
have been made from time TO time and
considerable litigation has resulted from
transactions alleged to have been illegal.
It is said the grand jury will go into a
number OF these transactions In order to
get at the bottom Of charges that have
been made.
II IS said that questions were asked the
officials covering the transactions relat-
ing TO the building and furnishing OF the
new city hall in South Omaha. Several

MOB SEEKS GHOST IN VAIN
Crowd Prepares to Attack Barn, but
Fails to Get the Alleged
ApparitiOn.

Rumors that there were ghosts in the
barn belonging to John Smith, brother of
District Clerk Robert Smith, who lives at
Twenty-eighth and Bristol streets, caused
a small mob to form and attack the barn
Sunday night. No ghosts were found, but
Mr.. ninth secured a policeman, who dis
persed the crowd.
DR.. w. S. Gibbs, brother-in-law of Mr.
Smith, formerly lived with him. In his
collection of medical curios he had a skele-
ton. When he left he placed the bones in
a box and hid them in the barn. Someone
in the neighborhood heard that human
bones had been found in the barn, then some
one else spread the report that on dark
nights groans and cries for help such as
ghosts usually make had been heard in the
neighborhood OF the barn. Sunday the
men n boys in the vicinity of the barr
decided to make an investigation. They
gathered In force and pried open the door
when the policeman arrived and scattered
them.
