WANTS POLYGAMY ID MEET
 DOUBLE STANDARD 0F MORALS

between 300 and 400 women, there are few who are not the victims, pri marily or solely, of this double stand, ard. By it men escape unscathed, with the complete tolerance, if not the approval, Of society. while the women go to a position from which they can rarely be reclaimed, and our fondling societies are filled with defective children.
 And so I say, emphatically, if 1t is impossible for men to live by standards which civilization requires Of it's women. then let us establish an open system of polygamy. Let a man be married to as many wifes as he can support. Let these women not be the outcasts of society, and let their children be given the love and care, and opportunity that every human being born into the world deserves. Would not this be infinitely better than our present system and its moral rottenness?"

 Denny got grip on the machine and behold he moved it with one hand. With the other fin set into sction Denny lifted the machine with ease.
 Iris me atheleticuss from the vac agion." chnckied Denny to himself. with pride as he hoisted the machine. in another instant he had thrown the load across his broad shoulders and started for the temple of justice.

 This is the opinion of Dr. Katherine B. Davis, Ph.

LEWIS THINKS THAT STATEHOOD IS SURE

PHoENIx. Oct. 7-Judge E. W.
 Lewis. one of the prominent republi- cans of the territory, a distinguished jnrist and former resident of Phoenix.
 has returned to Globe after a saca- tion in Minnesota, Montana and other eastern and middle western states. Judge Lewis has had his ear close to the ground and is in a position to speak with authority almost absolute
 when he declared in an interview
 that there Is no question of actual statehood because of the failure Of
 the president and congress to accept
 the constitution to be drafted this
 month at Phoenix"
 The judge stated that he believed a constitution containing the princi-
 pies of direct government for which the people of Arizona have so un-
 equivocally declared will be drafted at Phoenix, and that it will be accept ed by congress and the president The constitutional convention" de- clared the judge, will contain men of the highest and most intelligent type of Arizona citizenship and I be lieve they will not only give the peo- pie what they have expressed a pref erenee for, but they will draft con
 stitution that will be credit to Ari- zona.
 While there are some men in both branches of congress who are hon
 estly opposed to the initiative. refer endum and recall, and while it is possible that they may seek to delay actual admission of Arizona into the Union. I firmly believe that if the
 constitution is drafted in time for
 submission to the next session of the present congress. which eonvenes in
 December. it will be approved" As to direct legislation. Judge Lew. is says that il may be prostituted just as other forms of government; its success depends on the interest
 taken by the people in legislation.
 In Montana, where the judge visited
 and where they have the initiative and referendum. neither has been in yoked to any great extent, because
 legislatures have acquired the habit
 of giving the people the kind of leg islation they desire.
 While in St. Paul. his former home
 Judge Lewis represented Arizona at the National Conservation congress and took an important part in the discussions of that body.

|ONE DIVORCE 10
 l FIVE MARRIAGES

LOS ANGELES, Oct. Figures startling and interesting are collect ed in compilation of the marriage and divorce records of Los Angeles for the last year. which were made public today. From October l, 1909, to October 1, 1910. 1060 divorces were granted. and of these, 645 decrees were handed down within the last six months.
 This is rase or one diverce to less than five marriages. During the month of September alone, 202 legal separations were granted by the courts of this county.
 ing nearly half as many divorces as were granted in the entire state five years ego. In 1907 the ratio in this county was one divorce to every nine marriages and in 1908 it was one to every seven, showing gradu- al increase. The month ending to- day, with a score of 202 diyorces. breaks all local records.
 Until the state labor commissioner began compiling statistics it was be- lieved many of the California divorces were granted to eastern applicants who came to this state for that pur- pose, but the records show that nearly 70 per cent. were granted to couples married in California.
 Fifty per cent. of the couples di- vorced in Los Angeles county, which has large eastern population. were married in this state.
 The further interesting fact ds- closed that of the couples divorced more had been marred from five to ten years than less than five years.

BAN PLACED On
 l DRUNKEN ORGIES

PHOENIX, Oct. 7.--Every now and then the Indians on the reservation decide to hold series of old time dances, and whenever this deterr,; T. Iation is carried out trouble is bound to follow. As a rale1the Redskins fill up on mescal, and by the time the dance starts are gioriouayg hilarious Ily and fighting drunk O. he.rbsn
 As the dance proceeds there is 6 general intermingling of families. and husbands frequently loose trask cf their squaws, only to find them dancing with some other brave. Tnis leads to jealous quarrel. and often to the breaking up of the family t.es.
 The recent disturbance of this character on the reservation in which the Pimas and Maricopas participated was not so bad as others. and did not go to the length that former or gies have done. At the same time there were many fa,ciiy jars, until the government authorities learning of what was going on, promptly put stop to the dance, and restored peace.
 A few separations have resulted but in many Of these cases a truce has been patched up and the family reunited. Rev. F. V. Richards, mis. sionary on the reservation, is back al his post after his summer vacation and said when in town today that his charges were now in good shape and that no further trouble of any character was looked for.

The Fight Against rubercuIosis.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign now being waged throughout the
United States is evidenced by the fact
that in the year 1909 1863 new anti-tu-
berculosis associations were formed,
1873 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospit-
ais we're established, and 81 tubercu-
losis dispensaries were opened. Com
pared with previous years. this is the
best record thus far made In the fight
against consumption in this country.
During the year 1909, 43 more asso-
Citations for the prevention of tubercu-
losis were formed than during the pre-
vious ~ months. and 81 more hospitals
and sanatoria were established. On
January /. 1910. there were In the Uni
ted States 394 anti-tuberculosis associ-
ations. 1856 hospitals and tuberculosis

Of his lands lying on the Ohio be-
tween the mouths of the Great
and Little Kanawha rivers"
amounting to 9.159 acres, and of
land on the Great Kanawha
amounting to $4,000 and more
acres. These apparently were the
lands he obtained by patent for
his services In the French and In

chase. 1t has been claimed that
part Of this land comprises the site

Jointly with George Clinton 5000
