While this paper expected over

three, six TO twelve months each, an
agreeable surprise presented itself
when the final results of the contest
showed that nearly one thousand new
subscriptions were entered on the
books and only a small number were

A STANDOFF

\ peculiar contest is on in Ne, ada
which when the legislature meets
promises to shake the state from stem
to stern. The gambling element
which WaS recently put out of bust.
ness is playing the repeal or revis-
ion of the anti-gambling laws against
the repeal or amendment OF the
present divorce laws 1t is claimed
that the Ex-Governor Denver y
Dickerson, who was defeated for re.
election at the late election by r L..
Oddte. is secretly heading the cham
pions for legalized gambling. The
residence clause in the present law
creates bona iiUe citizen i'm six
months and this is being violently de
nouncd by the gambling contingent
The way we have the matter sized
up it is about a standofr as far as
Wv WV NNiiS are concerned. 10 say
which is the greater would involve
IA moral differentiation beyond us.
The state of Nevada has become the
temporary grazing ground for all the
marital insists of the country. with
the main headquarters of the divorce
mill in the city of Reno. Until lately
Nevada was the only wide open gamb.
ling state in the Union. I'm the re
peal of the gambling laws the state
has shown a tendency toward refor
nation, and the proper thing now to
do is TO extend this reformation in
the direction of the divorce laws. One
is just as much disgrace to the state
us the other
