Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was
the guest of Reno on last Monday in
response TO an invitation to address
the people upon the subject of "A
Progressive State" He took the peo-
pie of Reno into his confidence and
administered TO them a drubbing the
like of which they had not heard be-
fore. face 10 face from any man. He
went into the divorce question and
handled 1t without gloves; and the
Divorces who had any bushes left
used them on that occasion. Mr..
Roosevelt said in part:
1T Is one colony of which you
want to rid yourselves. ] don't care
what you do with those Of your own
state who seek divorces, but keep
citizens of other states who want di-
vorees out of Nevada. Don't allow
yourselves TO be deceived by the ar
gument that such colony brings
money to your city. You can't af-
ford 10 have that kind of money
brought here. Keep that whole col
ony out"

Importance. II was not fair. he
urged, that the worker should be
obliged TO pay for accidents To which

bit of machinery. he has 10 replace

iating Reno upon Its Young Mems
Christian Association. went into the
proposition of membership of that
organization. which excludes Catho-
lies and Jews from its boards of man
agement. This was something which
had only been recently learned by
the speaker, in consequence of a con-
troyersy which had arisen. Said he
In this regard.
Il want TO protest in the strongest
manner of which | am capable
against any continuance of that pol
Icy. ! want to say that as a matter
of simple justice we should alter

appeal especially TO the Protestant
elergymen, the men with whom /
have worked and especially in times
past, the Protestant elergymen from
whom ! have just received letter
of greeting TO this community which
touched me more than / can say, a
letter thanking me for what they are
pleased to call my services To moral
ity and good citizenship Now. /
want TO appeal to them TO take steps
at once TO secure the righting of what
! regard as a grieyous wrong. A
Catholic layman or a Catholic priest
who works with us, who helps TO

be allowed TO have his full and fair
share in the management OF 1t.
Former President Roosevelt was
warm in his praise of the work which
