A PENNSYLVANIA OPINION

Nevada is assuming so improved
moral tone as to almost require
a label to assure the spectator that
she is the same state. II has been
one of the accomplishments to the
customary siX-months' trip to Reno
for the winner of the iivorce as
soon as the boon is granted, to
rush up to Carson City with the
new mate and contract new mar
riage, says the Pittsburgh (Pa.,)
Dispatch. Thus the mill If the
divorce court at Reno pumped
water on the wheel of the county
clerks Office at Carson City and
brought in real money all around.
But moral progress will have its
way. The authorities at Carson
City announce that they will not
issue licenses to marry to non
residents. This, in company with
the reform at Reno of requiring a
years residence before d vorce
application can be heard, is apt to
very much diminish the charms of
Nevada as place to he off with
the old mate and on with the new.
1t looks as If the people of that
state were weary of that sort Of
romance. What state will he for
it next? There always is a state
to do that sort of business
though it generally tires the people
before long.

SHOCKED The GUIDE

A big man with a fierce. bristl.
ing gray beard and wearing a
broad brimined slouch hat marched
down the main corridor of the
capitol, closely followed by a guide
at dog trot. They had inspected
statuary hall and the rotunds and
looked in at the chamber of the
supreme court, and the visitor had
made no other comment on the
sights shown him than to utter an
occasional grunt. snort or growl.

toward a carpeted passage.

brow.

What Would Actually Happen?

Among the fairy tales that the H.
quor men and their political friends
'endeavor to foist upon The suscepti-
BILE public as the truth is the story OF
sad things which will happen on the
day when the brewing and distilling
establishments arc shut down and
cobwebs grow over the saloon doors
and windows. That this tale of woe
exists Only in the imagination Of its
authors is apparent to anyone who
has studied the subject What, in
deed, would happen if the places
where liquor is made and sold were
blotted from the face OF the earth?
First, numberless families would
find themselves possessed of the
wherewithal with which to purchase
the necessities OF life. AS a conse-
quence, the legitimate lines of trade
in foodstuffs, meats. boots and shoes,
and dry goods would feel the beneti-
cial effect, and from an economic
standpoint society would be benefited.
Second. the men of the family who,
in too many cases, have through pat
ronage Of the saloon ceased to be the
bread winners, would again assume
that responsibility. AS a consequence.
the mother would be free to give to
the house and the children the care
they need; the great army of chill
dren who have been compelled to en-.
ter tn industrial world as laborers
would be reduced to minimum and
social conditions would adjust them.
selves.
Third, with no liquor shops at work,
large proportion of the criminal Of
lenses would cease, police courts
would become only memory: bats,
rats and spiders would be the only
inhabitants Of the jails; the number
Of occupants Of the insane asyiuns,
Ipoorhouses, etc, would gradually de-
crease for lack of victims. Bank ac-
counts would grow more numerous
and substantial; homes would rise in
place of poorhouses and prisons;
school houses instead of asylums! Not
all men would be we'll and wise and
good but every boy would have a.
fair chance to grow to manhood I'M
