A BAD LOT

In all the discussion of the Reno
divorce business by the press one
nauseous feature has been over
looked. The establishment of the
colony there has resulted in the
establishment of brigade of
"gumshoe" artists whose vocation
is to trail day and night, in the
hope of collecting damaging
evidence. those seeking dissolution
of the marital ties.
Of course, those spies are in the
pay of the one at the other end of
the line, but it is easily conceived
how much gang of these sort OF
folks make for good morals in 6
community. 1t is u pretty business

Meth er woman's reputation mol

tacks Of these paid assassins OF
character. The next legislature
should pass conspiracy law that
will put the breed out of business
in this state.-Fallon Standard.

is COMMITTED
TO Protection

II the course of a controversy
between the Wall Street journal
and the Omaha World-Herald, the
former paper says that this
country is committed to pro-
tective policy" By whom is it so
committed, and for how long?
The people have never voted
directly on the question. The
issue has never been presented
undetatched from other issues.
No one can today say whether the
people favor protection or not.
We may. it is true, guess at their
state of mind and assume that,
because they have supported the
Republican party pretty steadily
since the war, they are in favor of
protection. But the assumption
would not be legitimate.
The truth. of course, is that the
country is not committed to pro-
lection or to anything else in
the nature of legislation. The
people have never committed
themselves to protection, and no
one has right to commit them to
it. We are no more strongly
committed to protection than was
England ut the time she over
threw the whole system. This is a
theory which is in high favor with
the standpatters. They are. so
they say, willing to reform the
tariff-if only the work is done by
the tariffs "frien1s," but only on
the theory that the protective
principle be maintained. They
would be glad to have the tariff
taken out of politics, only with
the understanding that the
political principle known as pro-
lection be upheld. TIE reason
that the tariff cannot be taken out
of politics it that there are
Millions of people in this
country who are determined to
wipe out protection.
Of course, the men who make
money out Of protection, the great
trusts and corporations that profit
from it accept the theory that
this country Is committed to pro-
lection" But after all they are
not the country. The chances are
that unless the tariff barons
modify their demands, unless the
standpatters make some concessions
the people will rise and sweep
the whole system out Of existence.
We doubt whether there ever was
time when the country was less
COMMITTED to protection" than it
is today. We used to think that
the country was committed to
slavery" Men were convened
that such was the case. They
were mistaken. They may be mis-
taken now.-St. Josheph Observer.

has just such an appearance. and

Case Is Dismissed

Contempt proceedings against Walter
Stilson Hutchins and John p. Heap,
president and secretary. respectively, of
the Humane Society. Of the District,
were today dismissed by order Of JUS
tice Gould in Circuit Court No. 2, the
court being convinced that there was
no intent to intimidate Raymond j.
Cooley, agent Of the society and a pros
pective juror.
Justice Gould cited the two officers of
the society October 10. to show cause
why they should not be punished for the
alleged offense, Cooley having informed
the court that the two men had init
mated to him that he would lose his
position as agent IL It became necessary
for him to serve as juror for two
months.
Emphatic denials Of any suggestion OF
contempt were made by the two respon-
dents through their attorney, r. Ross
Perry. 1t was claimed that 1t was
the farthest from their thought to
intimdate Cooley.
Funds Of the society were so low, Il
was understood, that It was impossible
to keep the agent on the pay roll in the
event of a substitute being employed
although he was expressly told that
he could have his position back when
he finished his jury service.
