Judge Frank flanagan handed down
a decision in the case of Whitmore
VS.. Whitmore, granting a divorce to
the defendant on the cross petition
which he filed in answer to the COM
plant of the plaintiff, says the Car,
son Appeal. Mrs. Whitmore sued
for divorce and alimony on the
grounds of cruelty and failure to
provide, but Walter Whitmore, the
defendant. entered a counter petit
ton, charging the plaintiff with de-
sertion, which contention was sus-
tanned by the court.
The custody of the minor child,
a little girl. was awarded to the
mother. the father to have the
privilege of visiting her at all rea-
sonable times and to contribute $25
a month to her support. He was
also ordered to pay the attorneys
fees of the plaintiff, mounting TO
$40.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitmore were
married in Goldfield in 1906 and
their marriage was one of the social
events in the boom days of the
camp.

Many Children Fail

According to Prof. j. F. Abtl of the
Winnemucca schools, at least thirty
per cent of the children in the grade
schools in that town are failing in
their work, seemingly not able to
obtain the necessary percentage of
10 in their studies. In speaking OF
the reasons for this state of affairs.
prof. Abel recently declared that it
was caused in a large measure by
the attendance of the pupils at
the many moving picture shows,
parties, dances and other enter
tainments. Prof. Abel urged that
athletics be INDUCED in to a larger
extent as thty served as a success
ful counter-attraction to pool rooms
and other vices, besides building up
fine and healthy bodies.

have earned it; never before. DIR.
Lyman Abbott.
One of the large Minneapolis flour
milling companies early in the win
ter gave every II of it's 700 en-
ployes a check for $25 with instruc-
lions to take it to a savings bank
and deposit it, the check being val
ueless otherwise.
The object of these gifts was to
foster thrift among the employees. In
order hat the saving habit, once
started by the opening of the account
may be kept up, al additional in
centive to save part of their earn
ings has been made to the cOmpany's
workers.
This is embodied in a letter which
reads in part as follows:
IF you continue in our employ UNI
til Nov. L., 1915, bring your savings
bank book to us. We will then give
you a check for half the net increase
in your bank balance in excess of
the original $25.
I'm other words, if your bank
books shows $45 ON deposit Nov. l.,
1915, we will add $40 to your saw
ings. If your book shows SIS on de-
post on Nov. 1, 1915 we will add $25
to your savings, etc.
"'In no case will the amount paid
under the arrangement exceed $25.'
One of the remarkable features was
that a large number took to the bank
in addition to their gift check, saw
ings that never had been deposited.
One man brought $500 and a large
number added to the check enough to
insure the payment of a $25 check
Nov. /, 1915.
Several of the employees had saw
ings accounts already and merely
added the check to their savings.
Two hundred and seventy four open
ed savings accounts the day the
company issued the checks.
This is a really practical form of
profit sharing as it helps people to
help themselves, and encourages the
formation of a permanent habit of
systematic economy.-T. d. Mac
Gregor.

BRINGS
BACK TWO MEN
Joseph MAIDIATE Is HELD ON
CHARGE OF PASSING BAD
CHECKS

Deputy Sheriff Bogard in addition
to bringing back j. M. Slater, want
ed on a charge of defrauding j.. j.
Jackowatz, proprietor of the Jumbo
club. out of a $75.25 board bill, the
arrest being made at Aurora, also
took into custody at Tonopah Joseph
Maidiate, who claims Sacramento as
his home. and who is charged with
passing a bad check for 1915 on v.
NJ. Ambrose, proprietor OF kelly's
dance hall.
Maidiate, it is said, came to Gold
field several days ago with the in
tention of purchasing an interest in
a local saloon. He was introduced
to Victor Arbizzi of the California
Liquor company by a travelling to-
bacco salesman. Early yesterday
morning Maidiate appeared at kel-
ly's place and asked Ambrose to
cash a check for $275 issued on the
California National bank OF Sacra-
mento. Ambrose at first refused,
but when Maidiate Vas vouched for
by Arbizzi he complied with the re-
quest, giving the stranger $3.50 in
cash and an I. o. U. for the balance.
Later in the day Ambrose got into
communication with the Sacramen-
to bank and found out that the
check was worthless. He filed a
complaint with the sheriff's office
and Maidiate was apprehended in
Toncpah by Chief of Police Evans
and turned over to Deputy Sheriff
Pogard this morning.

Lawbreakers Busy

Tonopah appears to be overrid-

burglars. During the past few
days robberies have been reported in
larger numbers than ever before.
In almost every instance when the
crime has been trivial the culprits
have been given "foaters."

Lee Stands For Party Nominees.

Senator Lees statement is as follows /:
THE result Of this primary election is
exactly the reverse Of what has been stated
in some of the papers. II has not estab-
lished an undsputed State leadership in
the Democratic party. Our party is not
dormant one, which an undisputed State
leadership would mean. The popular move
ment is too vigorous and too significant to
bear out any such thought. The people
must be appealed to to settle all questions
now. and in such an appeal as has just been
made by this primary election they are
taking more interest than in former gen
eral elections.
The total Democratic vote for Governor
Crothers was about 100000. for Senator
German for Governor in 1911 it was about
10000, for President Wilson in 1912 il
was about ll2,000; for me for United
States Senator in 1918 il was the same.
"The total Democratic vote in the last
primary election, however, reached the un-
usual proportion Of more than il7.000. or
5000 greater than the total party vote in
the last and largest general election. The
vigor of the contest is shown by the size
of the popular vote, though. Of course.
under the county unit system the popular
vote was not the main object Of the con-
testants. as our people made no fight in
the counties considered sure for Mr.. Har-
rington. such as Worcester, Dorchester.

The Democratic Convention Makes
An Excellent Record.

The Democrats of Maryland have reason
to be not alone satisfied but even enthu-
siastic over the work of their State Conven-
ton. II measured up finely to its great
opportunity and responsibility and fulfilled
every reasonable expectation.
The platform is admirable in tone. sub
stance and phraseology 1t is straight
talk" not to be misunderstood, and is full of
meat and substance. II could hardly be
stronger and more forceful on the leading
issue of economy and efficiency in State
affairs. and the convention showed its
sincerity further by the appointment, to
formulate program of reform. of COM
mission than which we believe no body of
men that could possibly be chosen would
be superior for the work at hand. The
commission seems to us ideal in every
way.
No less strong and explicit are the de-
claratiOns on the budget system, on uni
form accounting in the State departments
and in State aided institutions and on the
abolition Of continuing appropriations and
Of the fee system.
The plank concerning home rule is in
every way satisfactory and strong and
correct stand is taken on practically every
State question Of moment.
On the annexation of the suburbs by
Baltimore the plank is not as definite nor
as strong as could have been wished. This
is vital matter to Baltimore. and the
Democrats might as well have made some
explicit pledge on the subject If the Bal
timore county leaders who were friends and
supporters OF Mr.. Harrington, could have
had their way-and they made a hard
fight for it-no mention at all Of annexa-
tion would have been made in the plat
form. and the city would have got nothing
at all on the subject. 1t was only through
the determined efforts of Mr.. Frank Furst
and others that any statement directly
favoring annexation was inserted.
What is said on annexation is a distinct
advance for and concession to the city
The fairness and necessity of increasing
the boundaries of Baltimore are expressly
admitted. and il the plain words and spirit
Of the plank are carried out in good faith
it will be Of great advantage to the city
II is notable that the proposal to tie a
string to the declaration by making annexa-
tion depend on the consent of any annexed
portion was discarded by the platform
builders and the convention.
The convention was no cut-and-dried
routine affair 1t was not "bossed" con-
vention. 1t was full of vigor and vitality
and "scrapiness." The making Of the
platform was no mere exercise in rhetoric
The trainers knew that il meant something
and many were the clashes of opinion
among those who were in the building
All these signs of life and vigor augur
well for the usefulness and success of a
party. Whatever soreness and bitterness
may have been engendered by the forensic
combats are likely to be forgotten before
election day II the contestants are good
sportsmen. Baltimore Sun.

rington got majority of 11,96S. But this
large vote is significant, especially if COM
pared with the total party vote through
out the State in the general election. and
shows an extraordinary vitality and activ-
ity within the party.
THE more the people understand the
arguments and the methods of the two
sides, as shown in this great primary cam
paign, the greater will be the appreciation
of the good that comes from the open
fight that must be made under the pri-
mary law Whatever of bad has been
revealed by this campaign has long ex-
listed, and was infinitely more dangerous
to the public good when concealed, but
being now known it may be corrected and
the power of public opinion to do this is
undisputable.
Take Mr.. Kelley, Of Baltimore city. as
an illustration. For years the leading
Democratic journal of our State has doomed
him as the most intelligent city leader
in Baltimore, and number Of our party
leaders have closely co-operated with Mr..
Kelly. Now, both this paper and these
leaders are denouncing Mr. Kelly and his
methods as revealed by the light of the
great primary fight.
1T is becoming perfectly apparent that
the success of Mayor PrestOn's administra-
ton and the future of Baltimore city were
and are based upon efficiency and honesty.
which necessarily alienated the city lead
ership that was Of a different kind
"The great beauty of the primary cleo
ton law is that we can make the fight for
better State and better Baltimore within
the party. want all the good Democrats
who have honored me with their support
to understand this fact and keep within
the party and support its nominees. for in
this way the rule of the majority will
win and the majority Of our Mary
land people are for good government.
This is only the second thorough plowine
of the Democratic field. No farmer can
clean up neglected farm in two plowings.
The political soil Of Maryland shows great
vitality.
Il am going to vote for Mr.. Harrington
because am loyal to the will of the ma
jority and because he cannot kill our move
ment unless he gives us a progressive
Democratic administration, and for the
good Of our State he is entirely welcome
to beat us that way if he can. The future
Of the State depends now upon the con-
duct Of all the parties to this great primary
fight within the party.
Il salute the $4,000 men who supported
me in this campaign. 1t has been my
honor to meet many of them and take
them by the hand, and it is my belief that
the political purposes and principles foI
which they stand constitute the real and
true leadership Of the State. and, whatever
may be the fate of individual leaders
among them, that the opinion and pur.
poses Of these $4,000 Democrats will. in
the near future, guide the destinies Of
Maryland"
