THAT DIVORCE QUESTION.

Within the next six months, through the
agency of syndicate now forming Reno will
be converted into an international matrimonial
laundry for the cleansing of the domestic linen
OF not only Nevada, not only the United States
and Canada, but that of all Great Britain and
continental Europe. Former Senator Dix w
Smith OF New York, at the Baptist church of
Reno, Sunday night
The above startling revelation has proven
startling enough to even startle Reno the hot
bed OF divorce evil of the world The pious
parsons of the city in which a cure may be
erected for any matrimonial ulcer have been
compelled to SIT up and take notice They have
even started crusade against the divorce
laws The crusade may be on the square ,"
but 1T strikes the casual observer as being the
real old "bull. Z" These same parsons. when the
gambling law before the legislature two
years ago, carried their wrath to Carson CITY
and simply 'raised hel'' on that question. with
the result that the solons put the worst crmp
INTO this state that she has ever received Not
So however, with the divorce law These same
parsons, probably subsidized by the merchants
OF Reno, who make fat their purses through
the extravaganza of fair Divorces . sat idly
by and allowed the divorce law to be de.
feated IN the present session of the legislature
But, now that someone comes along loaded for
bear, apparently with inside information it IS
most clear to the spiritual guides of the city of
divorce sores that they must at least saw
something OF course the time is most appro
pirate for the 'sky-pilots" to let out yell that
can be heard from the depths of the Internal
region clear to the Judgment seat on high
But what's the use? Already the dirty work
most desired by Reno and executed through the
Washoe delegation in Carson City has been ac-
compllshed The measure that would have lent
to the state OF Nevada semblance of respect
ability has been defeated. Reno is legally en-
tfled to her divorce 'stink-pot'' for another
two years The fair name of this state has once
more been sacrificed the altar of greed
Hence the parsons can get busy and shoot off
their bazooS to their souls delight Reno has
won and the parsons who exist off Of the i'll
gotten gains derived by the merchants from
the matrimonial corrupt are allowed to turn
loose and raise hell to their hearts content
According to the statement of Mr. Smith
made in Reno Sunday night
by September first it is considered highly
feasible and probable that through the work
lngs OF this agency (the divorce syndcate)
10000 people will be brought to Reno for this
purpose (divorce) from all parts of Europe
TINS remark should strike JOY to the heart
OF every blood sucker" who is in business in
Reno, for the purpose of extracting from those
seeking ease from the storm of matrimony's
seas every penny that the tariff will stand
They should swell up with pride to learn that
oO,OOO derehcts will find surcease from the
worries of matrmony while in their midst OF
course they will swell still more when they take
pencil in hand and figure out the possible
amount Of coin this $4,000 will leave in Reno
as the toll for Nevada s corruption fund.
Sodom and Gomorrah of old must have been
! verltable paradise compared with what the |
tar city on the banks of the Truckee will be
by the time the new syndicate has gotten down |

De surprising to learn that arrangements have
been made with trans continental railroads and
transatlantic steamship companies for Char

ion be put to the ''Lot'' of Reno-proyided
here may be one at that time-would it be
anything of surprise if his wife should tlook
,ack?"
In the olden days of "Judge Lynch" there

% putrid this divorce colony of which
Reno proudly boasts. Much disparaging has

nut the crookest gambler would blush for
hame at the blight that is at present being

result of the easy divorce-side and the latest
tartling revelation of the international syndi-
