RENo's DIVORCE MILL.

Governor Boyle OF Nevada signed
Nevada's "easy divorce bill" last
week. He conjured over the matter
for four days and finally decided that
the prosperity of Nevada, especially
the city Of Reno, demanded the re-
turn of easy divorces to Nevada. OF
all the shameful arguments that were
ever presented to aid in passing any
bill they were used to advance the
easy divorce bill in Nevada. The
prosperity Of Reno is again assured,
II the arguments of Nevada's business
men are sound. The state will enter
upon a period of prosperity such as
has not been before recorded. What
matters it that depraved men and
women with children dependent upon
them should be aided in their guilty
purposes by the legislature of Nevada,
IL perchance the state of Nevada may
reap the benefit in dollars and cents.
It is an unhappy circumstance that
the state Of Nevada should league
itself with all that is immoral and de-
basing on the ground that the state
will prosper. Has Nevada no natural
resources, no means of support, no ad-
vantages to offer other than her di.
vorce mill. Every man who voted for
the passage Of Nevada's "easy d.
vorce bill' is q moral leper.

A bill has been introduced in the
State Legislature of New York, the
object of which is the taxation of
charitable and educational corpora.
lions valued at more than 100000.
For the purpose of making the bill
look innocent, literary and scientific
corporations were included in the bill.
The spirit behind the bill is easily un-
;derstood. It is an indirect and limo.
cent looking attempt to get at church
and convent taxation. Members OF
State Legislatures often prove them
selves to be strange creatures, indeed.
From the history of New York's views
upon educational questions, the bill
will not pass. But the silly attempts
Of legislators to instill the spirit of
bigotry into State Legislation are one
of the wonders of the age.

are the first things good many peo-
pie will ask when the name of new
friend or acquaintance is mentioned.

ciously exposing to view the scale by
which they measure character and
friendship. us he rich?" Just as II
the having of money would make him
a better friend or gentleman. Strange
as 1T many seem, the people who,
profess to bear a grudge against
wealth in general; those who pretend
to their friends that they think man,

who carry the thing to an extreme
generally, are the people who, when
the name Of wealthy man is men,
toned, attempt to identify themselves
with him, who when noticed on the
street by a rich man, are very much
gratified, who having been introduced
to someone straightway ask the ques-
ton, lis he rich?" Why should q man
be either loved or hated for his money!
Why should the question of money
enter in at all? Why should it be Q.
more vital question than, Does he

ally these people are interested in
knowing whether a new acquaintance
is honest or Industrious or clever, but
they will not be satisfied until they
have asked the question, "Is he rich?''

THE ALLEGED INSULT.


Many well-meaning Americans, even
though they knew that the report OF
the alleged insult to the American
ambassador in Berlin recently, and
although they knew that the reference
of the insult came from English
sources, discussed the matter, read
the report Of the affair and took II
seriously. The American ambassador
to Germany, Mr.. Girard. as the story
went, had been insulted in a German
theater and that, as part of the alleged
Insult, there was an angry demonstra.
ton Of pronounced hostility toward
Americans. The entire affair turned
ont to be an utter falsehood. The
incident was nothing more or less
than the utterings of an individual
who was present in the theater under
the influence Of liquor. The incident
wAs played up as serious and the
whole matter referred to by the Eng.
lish press dispatches as a matter that
should bring about trouble between
TIN country and Germany. Mr.. H. R.
Pine. private secretary to Ambas-
dor Girard, has explained the entire
nAair and told q the apologies by
olninsnt Germans who were present

THE MODERN MILITARY HERO.


German Field Marshal Won linden
burg, as the result Of carefully laid
plans, has entrapped 10000 Russians,
all because Russia attempted, as an
ally Of England and France, to draw
the forces Of Germany back from the
allied lines and concentrate them in
eastern Germany. A very graphic de-
scription of the Russian disaster is
published on German authority. The
account is as follows:
"Torn, torn asunder and crushed to
earth are the battle ranks of the Gear
Of all the Russias, the proud hore of
the Triple Entente. The Russian
Tenth Army. consisting Of eleven divi-
sions and number of cavalry divi.
sions. has practically ceased to exist.
Thousands lay bleeding and silent on
the ground; other tens of thousands
held up their hands, while the scanty
remnants fled in affrighted haste,
Some troops still maintained their
organizations, but many were dis
solved. Men lost their heads and
rushed away like wild herds, seeking
refuge in the forests, while the pursuit
roared behind them.
"The victory, which resulted in the
largest number of prisoners ever
taken in open battle, was also the
most complete in the worlds history"
Russia was the hope of England and
France. Russia was playing the part
assigned to her. Her reward was to
be an opening on the seas to the south
and were it not for an unexpected
thaw with consequent softening of the
roads the entire Russian army divi.
sion would have been surrounded and
not single one would have escaped
Some few days since it was announced
that France and England had with.
drawn from Belgium to defend their
own territory. 1t has been predicted
many times that it was the intention
OF England to let her antagonists wear
each other out and then claim the
spoils, but the overwhelming victory
Of Germany over the Russian army
has made the matter look more seri-
GUS than it has looked since the war
began. 1t was the Gear of all the
Russias who declined to entertain
proposals for the truce of God at
Christmas time" and it is not improb-
able that it may yet be the Gear of
all the Russias who will look with
eagerness for some proposal from
Pope Benedict which will give him an
opportunity to save himself from Won
Hindenburg.

ESTIMATES MADE OF TUBERcu.
LOSS CASES.

Exaggerated statements as to the
tuberculosis situation are often heard"
says DR.. H. w. Hill, of the Minnesota
Public Health Association. IF these
exaggerated statements were true. the
hope Of abolishing tuberculosis would
be vain.
1.-THE situation can easily be calcu.
lated for any Minnesota community
pretty closely, thus:
For each 1000 Of the population
there are: one death per year, two liv.
ing infectious cases, and three non-in-
fictitious cases, which, however, under
present conditions, will become infec.
tious within from one to three years
and die within from one or two years
more.
"This one-two-three formula applies
pretty we'll in all communities of more
than 10000. Thus county of 10000
population will show yearly about 20
deaths; 40 infectious cases, and 60
SssSO0 AAOt J 81 AuAOCILOu6 OuL sure De-
come 80 II they are not discovered and
treated.
Everyone who sees these figures
for the first time usually Jumps to the
conclusion that, to abolish tuberculosis
the best method is to find the 60 cases
not in the infectious stage, and treat
them so that they may never reach it..
Unfortunately, many Of these cases
cannot be discovered. Those who are
found are, of course. gladly treated
and as individuals are generally saved.
But the only cases that are found in
any large proportion are the infectious
ones. Practically all of these can be
discovered. By preventing them from
spreading the disease to new cases,
tuberculosis is cut OF at the very
roots. Minnesota is beginning to do
this now through county sanatoria.

ACTION OF THE GAELIC LEAGUE.
The recent action of the Gaelic
League In passing notable resolu-
ton complimentary to DR.. Kuno Meyer
has shown that the Gaelic League
stands for what is best in Ireland, and
by it's action deserves the praise of
every sincere 1rishman in America. A
recent meeting Of one of the branches
of the Gaelic League was held i'm Dub.
lin, presided over by DR.. Douglas
Hyde. The following resolution was
offered and adopted:
THAT we take this opportunity of
recording the gratitude which. as
friends of the Irish Language, we feel
towards DR.. Kuno Meyer, for his long
and fruitful work In the province of
Celtic learning. We should deeply re-.
greet If the permanent obligation, un-
der which his broad and enlightened
scholarship has left this country,
should be forgotten or obscured in
Irish minds by the unhappy circum.
stances of the moment, or the perman.
ent work of the scholar should in any
way fall to be recognized by the people
OF Ireland owing to any passing politi-
cal or national animosities."
More noted than the above is the
resolution offered with reference to
the action Of the city of Cork in de.
priving DR.. Meyer of the freedom of
that city. 1t will be recalled by our
readers that the city of Cork had rec.
ogrized. the services of DR.. Never
and the zeal with which he labored in
a spirit of gratitude and offered him
the freedom of the city. This honor
was conferred upon him by the request
OF the people Of Cork. After the war
broke out, however, DR.. Meyer, who is a
thoroughgoing German, maintained his
loyalty to his own people. Pro-British
influence Immediately became active,
with the result that the city of Cork
withdrew the freedom which they had
granted the noted Irish scholar. The
resolutions offered in this connection
are expressed in strong terms and
should console DR.. Meyer for what
ever thoughts of ingratitude he may
have experienced because of the &C.
ton of the corporation Of Cork. The
resolution follows:
Whereas, The freedom of Cork City
was unsought by DR.. Kuna Meyer. but
was unanimously conferred on him in
conformity with the wishes of Irish
Ireland as slight recognition of the
honor which he had already conferred
on the Irish race. and the obligations
under which he had placed the entire
Irish nation. we characterize the &C.
ton Of the corporation Of Cork in
withdrawing that freedom as migrate.
full and an insult to Gaelic scholar.
