for District Judge OF the district
comprising Storey, Ormsby and
Douglas. and that George l.. San
lord will seek the Republican nomi-

likely that these two will be oppoa-

should seek denomination from the

Reno Divorces but Small Percentage

Reno Divorces but Small Percentage
In the years 1911 and 1912 1000
divorces were granted in Reno. In
the year 1912 10000 were granted III
the entire Union, so that it will be
seen tha tthe Reno divorces make uo
but a very small percentage of the
whole.
The Nevada law stands to-day
word for word as it was originally
passed by the first Territorial Legis
lature in 1861, excepting that in 1875
the desertion' and neglect to pro-
vide periods were changed from two
years to one.
Mr.. Smith declared that not only
did the large majority of those who
sought divorces come to Nevada
from this city but that they did 50
because it was the only state in which
they could obtain any adequate relief
in the courts or else continue to live
i'll torments that matrimonial unhap-
piness had forced upon them.
Barriers to Divorce Incentive to
Murder
IF they do not leave New York
they must remain forever debarred
from the hope and the right to CON
tract another and a happier marriage
unless the other spouse will con-
veniently die he said. This makes
strong incentive for murder. and
it is a well-known fact that there have
. been many murders which would not
have occurred had divorce been pos
sible. More than this. when divorce
is so hard and expensive, a tendency
is created for people. to establish un-
conventional RELATIONSHIP which the
church and society will wink, and
which the State is powerless to eradi-
cate"
Mr.. Smith denounced the practice
which exists in this state OF granting
a divorce from bed and board. This

Nevada Divorce Laws
The Best in The Union
New York Lawyer Defends
the Excellent Nevada Laws
New York Laws are Bad

The following is an interview with
Oscar J. Smith. formerly of Nevada
but now OF the New York bar, print
ed in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,
which is of such local interest that il
it is here reprinted for the benefit of
Appeal readers:
1t would be we'll for all the States
of the Union if they had divorce laws
Il, liberal aS those OF Nevada
More liberality in the divorce laws
OF the States would result in a re-
stricted use OF the instrument OF di-
vorce.
The divorce laws of the State Of
Nevada are no more liberal than
were the recommendations contained
in the majority report OF the British II
Royal Commission appointed to in
vestigate the subject, and only a little
more liberal than the report of the
Divorce Congress of 1906
Seventy-fve per cent of those who
seek divorces i'll the courts OF Reno
are New Iorksrs-members of the
upper stratum OF society.
The great increase in divorces is
chiefly due to the emancipation and
independence OF womanhood
New York Divorce Laws Absurd
The divorce laws OF Nevada will
never be changed" said Mr.. Smith,
"and it would not be good if they
were. In New York your divorce
laws are absurd. The degree OF
proof required before either party
can procure divorce on statutory
grounds is ridiculous.
If man or woman desires di-
vorce, why throw an obstacle in their
way: They are happier apart. My
experience tells me that 90 per cent
of first marriages are unhappy, and
that once divorced only small per
centage of Divorces have any desire
to again venture out on the matri-
monial sea; about one-third of them,
as matter Of fact
During the year 1911 there were
In the United States 5000 divorces
granted, and out OF that number only
500 were granted in Reno. Out of
the 500 divorces 400 were what might
be termed migratory that is. the ap-
plicants had formerly lived in New
York.

\ Georgian was on trial. charged
with a crime not entirely dissimilar
To the crimes for which Caminett,
and Diggs have been convicted. The
evidence was clear and positive. His
attorney refused to argue the case
believing il would do more harm
than good. SO, the defendant ar
gued hi, own case about as follows:
Say. John Smith, we have known
each other for about 25 years. and
| Know you about as well as yon
know me. He addressed each
member OF. the jury separately in the
same way. and concluded his ad-
dress by saying: Now is the time
for our kind OF men to stand in.
They stood in, and he was acquitted.

Youth and Age
By wait Mason.

Youth goes to bed and ere his head
has fairly hit the linen, he falls asleep,
his slumber's deep, and Morpheus is
GRIMM. Throughout the night this
happy wight is slumbering and snoring,
though thunders crash and lightnings
fash and waterspouts be pouring. He
leaves his couch without a crouch when
morning light has kissed him; refreshed
and braeed his sleep has chased all
worries from his system. The old man
goes to his repose with troubles beyond
number, for hours must pass, he knows,
alasl ere he gets next to slumber. He'll
thrash around and every sound will
wake him II he dozes, the tomcat's yowl,
the watchdog's howl, thRroOsteTs Holy
MosesI" He hears thet bet of pilgrims
feet along the pave 90 bouncing; he
hears the clocks in distant blocks the
leaden hours announcing. The cricket
seems to let out screams as loud as
horns. or whistles, his pillow fair, he'd
promptly swear, is stuffed with bricks
and thistles. He bats his eyes and kicks
and sighs, the sweat from of him
drizzles. and when he wakes as morning
breaks he feels like forty izzles. Oh
youth, glad youth, you have, in truth
the snap Of all the agesl He who can
reap the Joys of sleep is drawing princely
wages.-Copyright, 1913, by George
Matthew Adams.

ATLANTA TRAGEDY CAUSES
An ARREST IN HOUS TON

Houston. Tex, May "a man who

der arrest here today on suspicion"
the charge being based on kilograms
from the Atlanta police saying Bowen
is wanted in connection with the find
ing of the body of Mary Phagan In an
Atlanta factory a week ago.
Bowen was arrested after a woman,
whose room adjOined his at local
hotel informed the police Of the young
mans unusual actions
From Bowen's trunk, the police say,
they took a girls vest apparently
blood stained, and a photograph identi-
fled as that of Mary Phagan-
The police said many letters found
in the trunk bore Atlanta dates, that
some of them were signed Mary and
others m p" There also were letters
apparently showing business cOnnec-
lions with Atlanta firms Bowen has
given his age as p. He refused to
discuss his arrest.
Mrs. A Blanchette, the police in
former, said she heard Bowen talking
to himself saying: Why did 1 do tt2
If I could just live it over again, 1
could not do it."

All three branches Of the church are

and have sent their missionaries to
every country. Arrangements have

bodies not to allow their work in this
direction to overlap. The mission field

one body will not send workers into
a territory in which work already has

Seniors
BY GEORGE FITCH,
of AT Good Old SiUaEh.s

A T this time of the year the senior
n becomes an aH-important insti-
4 \ tuition in our colleges.
a senior Is like a president in the last
gasps of Office. He Is a great man, who
is about to become a common citizen.
After the senior has delivered his ora
ton and has received his diploma, he
takes of his cap and gown and becomes
a humble struggler at the foot of the
ladder, with everybody's feet in his face.
But Just before commencement he is so
large than it takes a freshman or sophie
more several minutes to walk entirely
around him. Nothing is more interest
ing than to watch an under classman
looking up to a seniOr-unless it is to
watch the same senior a few months
later, looking up to an office boy, and
asking him how he got his job.
A senior is a man who is completing
his education in science, philosophy,
languages, and arts, and is about to be-
gin it in work, worry, and the earning
of a living. Being a senior Is more fun
than almost anything else, because a
senior has had all that is coming to him
in college, and doesn't know what is
coming to him in life.
