DIVORCES WHILE YOU WAIT.

The way to the divorce court IL
made broad by Nevada's new law, and
many there will be who will go in
thereat. Governor Oddie Of that state
has the past week signed the time
lock" act, providing as the sole requi-
site for jurisdiction that the plaintiff
shall have been for six months within
the county where the action is
brought.
AS absences for emergency reasons
are permitted, the smart set may find
these six months rigors much softened
by brief fittings to New York for the
requisite high links.
The divorce law guide books, fire.
quently bethumbed among the smart
set, must now give Nevada squarely
the lead in the business OF manufac.
turing divorces while you wait. Ne
braska has long fallen behind, on &C
count OF prohibition OF remarriage
within year. A heartless legislature
in South Dakota recently passed law
that required a, years residence. So
the kind and sympathetic judges, the
divorce lawyers with the signs omni-
present, the theaters, grill rooms and
automobiles of that states colony,
must eventually sink back into the
pale monotony OF the Dakota prairie.
Idaho still remains. where but six
months residence is also required,
and nothing is said about remarrying.
But Idaho sounds even more barbarous
and bushy than Reno.
The divorce business was a great
industry in South Dakota, and II will
be even more so in Nevada. There
one will see French maids jostling ell
bows with greasy Mexicans and black
bearded miners. Money will be sown
broadcast in order TO make existence
liveable at so great a distance from
the Great White Way.
The Divorce element will be more
at home than it ever was in South Da.

background the substantial industry

II Is high time that more drastic

ness who take advantage Of every op.
portunity to rob the laborer looking
for work. Chicago, perhaps, contains
more of these swindlers than any other
city in the country. A short time ago
some Russian Poles arrived in Omaha
from that city. They stated that they
had paid 81 apiece for job to a Chi.
caso labor agent, who told them that
man would meet them at the Omaha
depot and furnish them work. There
was no man there, neither could they
find work. This is but one of the
many instances which are of daily oc-
currence throughout the country and
the scoundrels who dope the men who
are looking for work are rarely pun
ished.

SECTIONAL TARIFF MAKING.

The success OF the democrats in
winning so nearly a complete control
of congress for the first time in six
teen years, raises the question wheth-
er they will be able to avoid making
sectional tarif.
Historically the democratic party
used to present fairly united front
on tariff making. Their congressman
represented largely sections OF coun-
try where manufacturing industries
we're not well developed, and where
the benefits of protection we're indi-
rect rather than direct.
The scattering of cotton and other
mills all over the south, however, has
created lot OF protectionist senti-
ment in that section. It remains to
be seen whether any OF the democrats,
II so, how many, are willing to be in
fiuenced by considerations other than
the demands or needs OF their own dis.
tricts.
Just as this country could never re-
main half slave and half free, so you
never can create lasting tariff that
hands out favors to one state or dis
trict, and leaves its next door neigh
Dor exposed to the cold blast Of low
cost labor competition.
Fervid fountains Of eloquence gush
up from the hearts and mouths Of our
democratic chieftains over the crimes
OF Schedule K. Does any one believe,
however. that If WOODEN mills were as
common in the democratic states as
cotton mills are, that there would be
very much said from this quarter
about the wool duties?
The people want this tarin business
settled Just as the railroad rate ques-
ton was settled, by an impartial tri-
bunal. They are sick OF having highly
protected manufacturers dictate terms
to committees of politicians who do
not know, or who do not take the
pains to get at, the true bottom facts
OF production cost. But on the other
hand, they believe that the producer
is entitled to equal treatment with the
consumer, regardless Of how his dis
trict votes election day.
