While Senator Bailey gave his
objection to the Arizona constitution
as a reason for his resignation, many
senators are of opinion that still
more potent reason is his inability to
have everything his way. His action
in withdrawing his objection to the
tariff board bill in fulfillment of his
part of an agreement, whereby vote
was permitted on Lorimer, was disap-
proved by many Democrats. There is
growing impression that the leader
ship of Mr.. Bailey is decidedly on the
wane, anyway.

Greenwood, March 4: Judge w.
H. Kerr, magistrate here, has refused
to turn over the office and the books
thereof to J. W. Garfield, who was ap-
pointed magistrate for Greenwood by
Gov. Blease last Monday. Judge Kerr
is holding his office at the court house
and Mr.. Garfield has secured an Office
also and is ready for business. Judge
Kerr says he will hold the office until
his successor has been legally appoint
ed. A rather interesting fact is that
four magistrates to lose office in this
were old Confederate veterans

Rogers at Ninety-Six, w. w. Purdy
at Verdery and w. P. Delvin at Brad

Possibly the initiative and referen-
dunn may have in them the seeds that
would one day destroy the government
established by our fathers" but
we do not see it that way. According
to our understanding of the spirit Of
the government established by our
fathers the initiative and referendum
are in strict accord. There is no bet
ter way of getting at what the major
ity wants or at what is best for it.

The Greenville News prints map of
South Carolina showing the circula-

that the circulation of the News would
make the whole northeastern part of
the state so dark as the map indi-

in the neighborhood of Anderson, and
we are inclined to think that the little
pipestem girl with the long plated
hair must have made a mistake.

GOVERNORS
ON DIVORCE
Foundations Of American
Life Are Threatened,
They Say
MAY BE DISCUSSED AT
SPRING LAKE CONFERENCE
By The United Press.

SPRING LAKE. n. j., Sept 12.--
Tho House Of Governors" in conven-
ton here today, is practically unani-
nous in the opinion that inadequate
and diverse divorce laws and their lax
enforcement are threatening tho very
foundations Of American lie.
While the subject is not on the set
program OF discussion, State Execu-
lives TO-DAY expressed themselves free
liz on the question and it was thought
highly probable that the problem
would be taken up by the conference.
One Of the most aggressive champions
Of divorce reform Is Governor Hay, ot
Washington.
up to a certain. point, divorce is
all right, the evil lying in the laXity
with which divorces may be
obtained and the ease with
which divorced persons may remar-
ry," said Hay. Existing conditions
are travesty on justice for a man
who cannot do a certain thing In one
state, can hop in an auto, cross the
state line and do just what the laws
of his own state prohibit. ! believe
there should be a minimum residence
limit and a time limit for remar-
riage."
Governor Burke, Of North Dakota,
was strongly in favor of making the
residence limit five years and a cor
responding time limit for remarriage.
Governor Gilchrist,of Florida,agreeing
with these views. said that something
has got TO be done to make people
more sober regarding the import
ance of the marriage relation.
Harmon for Reform.
One Of the most conspicuous fig
ures at the conference is Governor
Harmon. of Ohio, a strong presiden-
tial possibility. He, TO, feels strong
" on the uniform divorce law ques-
tion and expressed himself as SAN
guine over the prospect of reform. lie
said one of the first things the state
should act upon is the evasion of one
state regulation by going into another
commonwealth.

form and uniform laws, today, We're

PORTLAND, Maine. Sept. 12--Al-
though all figures so far collected
agree that the heretofore strongest
prohibition state in the union has gone
wet" by nearly 1900 votes. the
prohibition forces today refuse to coE-
cede defeat. After all night confer
ence during which returns we're com
piled. they declared the official count
Will show a dry victory. Il was
further intimated that If this is not
the case, a recount VIII be asked be-
cause Of the closeness of the vote.
Early today returns from the six
teen small towns not accounted Tor
last night were coming in slowly.
These towns are not thought to have
enough even should they be unani-
nous for prohibition to change the
result as announced.
The vote Of yesterday does not mean
that Maine is to have hmitless bar
rooms. The vote merely took from
the constitution that prohibitOry
amendment on the statute books
OF Maine there Is still a law which
forbids the sale Of liquor. II is now
possible for the Legislature which
favors license laws to vote on the
question of local option.
Governor Plaisted said today he
could not announce this early whether
he would Immediately call a special
session TO vote on the local option
question. After such vote, should the
Legislature pass a local option law,
three months must elapse before It
would become operative. And then
the prohibitionists with a petition con-
tanning 10000 voters names could get
a popular vote to decide If the people
would repeal or favor the Legis-
lature's possible local option law.
