Salt Lake City who have beer watch
ing developments in the completion of
the Western Pacific railroad to see
whether there would be any competition
rs the result, have given up all hope of
lower rates on account of the new road.

will be issued Is duplicates to the pre-
sent transcontinentai rates now in force
over the Hartman lines.
The action of the Chicago Milwau-
kec IL Puget Sound railroad through
the northwest i'll issuing an %indepeud-
cnt tariff when that line was opened
WAS taken ~ AN indication that the
Western Pacific would he i%ndcpcnd-
ent of the Hartman combination and
would he free 10 make its own rates.
1t is said on good authority, however,
that the Western Pacific will simply
join the transcontincntal freight bu-
rcau and accept the rates already made
by J. &. Stubs. traffic director of the
Hartman lines, with divisions similar
t. those on the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific. This will mean that
the California Utah. the California;
Colorado and the Utah-C California rates
Will be the same ;S are now in force.

RENO'S SENSITIVE JUDGE

District Judge Pike of Reno. New, is
Il sensitive man with n nice comprehen-
sion of the fitness of things. He de-
clined to officiate at the wedding of II
lady to whom lie had granted II divorce
three days before on the ground that it
would not look well. Naturally one
asks asks: Look well to whom To Il
very large number of the inhabitants of
the various States of the Union divorce
under any circumstances is repugnant,
and to many others who believe in di.
vorce under certain circumstances re-
marriage of divorced persons under any
circumstances seems wrong. These are
the people who hold that marriage is a
constitute a majority i'll any State. The
quick remarriage of Il lady quickly di-
vorced ought to look well to people who
derive profit from the quick divorce
business.
Reno, New, is Il thriving divorce
centre. The facilities for getting quick
divorces there are unsurpassed, and
they have greatly increased the pros
perity of the town. y well-detlned de
mand for quick and easy divorces is the
justification of Reno and its judy 8
Many if not most ladies who want di-
vorccs desire to marry again. Where
fore the sense of fitness displayed 10y
the Reno divorce Judge is remarkable.
He draws the line sharply. "Ill divor, G
you," he says, with ncatneSs and dis
patch. but | won't perform the mai
riage ceremony for you within three
days, because it wouldn't look right"
The incident serves newly to illus,
trate the strange complcXity of con,
temporary social life. Marriages are
performed with all the ancient solem'
nifty. The married wonan is still the
type of responsibility. But divorce fOy
any cause or none grows conmOneI

be so intense that if he did not rcscind
his action the probability is his gov
eminent would be overthrOwn. This
statement may seem extreme, and the
analogy far-fctched, but take a look at
the facts:
The Republican party made II dclib-
crate and solemn promise to the pco-
pie of the u tied States TO revise the
tariff downward. That promise was
made rs Il matter of political necessity,
because the rapidly increasing cost of
living threatened II political rcvolu.
ton. The promise was construed. and
meant to he construed, us meaning Il
reduction in tariff taxation that would
materially reduce prices.
When. on the strength of this prom.
Use, the Republican party was retained
in power, the president Immediately
called congress together. in special
session, and the congress and himself,
acting jointly and s%cvcrally. revised
the tariff upward! The result was not
reduced living expenses, but increased
living expenses!
And thcrcup"n the Republican party
divided itself into three houses and
went before the country.
Ono house said. I'VE did not promise
to revise the tariff downward"
Another house said. I'VE broke orr
promise to the people.
But all three houses. speaking with

We submit that never before in n

and that If such n record were TO be
