Benson who has spent some years in that coun- try in the service of the church as d missionary MT. Benson told of the vast gulf that exists between the upper and lower classes of that country, and said that he believes it will be many years before the Mexican situation is sttled. lie believes the question should be left with the people of Mexico, however, and be- iieves President Wilson is right in leav- ing it alone.

He can always get a living.
Why not the girl? Isn't It just as

Some data from the investigations

Lookey-On In Iona

Nevada, Story county, Is not "hid-
ing her light under a bushel" this year.
Ihis county has a candidate for con-
gresham, two for governor and one
for lieutenant governor. Some of the
voters will find 1t hard to decide which
man to select at the primaries. For
instance take Mr. Payne's candidacy
for congress. He always was an out
and out republican and for a young
man, very conservative one. It
might be said he was stand patter
before the word was coined But Tafts
nomination and election never suited
Editor Payne. Then too he could not
endorse Senator Cummins. In the
course of time Mr.. Payne became more
tolerant Of progressiyes and their
policy. Today he is back where he
started a straight republican.
George c. White also lives in Ne

fur governor. How muci supper. &c

Judge Lee has resigned in order to
conform to the law and legalize his
candidacy for governor. The judge it
would appear has been charmed into

INTERSTATE MA1RlMoNY.

why should a marriage celebrated in
one Of the states be Illegal and void ia
another?
A husband writing to an Illinois
newspaper relates that he was divorced
in his own state, and two months later
married young woman in Michigan.
She vas q citizen Of that state and the
marriage legal there. They came to
Illinois where she has been informed
that the marriage is illegal and indeed
in Illinois is not a marriage at all.
She threatens to leave him until the
marriage can be made legal. He wants
to know what to do about it.
Here Is a case where he woman
gets a long way the worst Of it. She
marries in confidence and under the
laws of her state and goes with her
husband in Michigan to Illinois to find
that he is not husband in that state
and that under the laws Of Illinois she
is merely a mistress and not wife.
The best advice he can get from the
newspaper to which he appeals is to
get married again when the year is up
during which he was forbidden to re-
marry in Illinois. But isn't this state
Of affairs unjust to the woman? Is it
fair that she shall know and under
stand the divorce laws Of the different

state where such 3 condition may erist

The husband who complains in this
case deserves to suffer. He seems to
have married tho woman sneakingly
without informing her Of the condi-
tons attached 10 his enforcement. Bul
