WAS TOO FIERY ON HUN BUNK
 LOSES WIFE
FORMER RESIDENTS OF PRESCOTT ON MARITAL FIRING LINE, AND THE WOMAN WINS ON ALIEN GROUNDS.
(From Saturdays paiixl

In a Kansas City, Kansas, court recently, the marital woes of Mir. and Mrs. Frederick Sodden were freely aired, and according to the press ac- count, it was quite lively display of home fireworks at frequent intervals for over year.
 The pyrotechnics started in this manner when the case of Sodden vs. Sodden was called from the calendar
 You, Mrs. Sodden, are the com blaming witness, are you not, and your husband is defendant" which she affirmed. Proceed said the judge, when Mrs. Sodden stood up right and said, Hes an alien enemy of the worst kind"
 That's lie," came from the hus- band, who forthwith was fined $25 for contempt of court.
 Mrs. Sodden then produced sever al issues of socialist paper, taken by her husband, and there were four teen marked articles all bordering on the seditious and every one of which he had said, he approved.
 The case then proceeded on this issue, and when the wife testified that she would be insulted if she wis ited the German sister of her hus- band in another part of the town until after the peace conference was over, the husband again flared ur, and started to protest, when the judge admonished him to hold his tongue.
 Mrs. Sodden had three female wit nesses to corroborate what she stat ed, and when the last one was clos ing Sodden broke loose with coarse, remark, when again ne was fined $25, the court saying that a repetition would call for a jail sentence
 The case later took in the prohi- bition issue and the woman testified her husband purchased booze at an exorbitant price, and had refused her many times small change when going down town. In this she also was supported by her female friends as witnesses. ? On the stand Sodden began his ttstilnony by insinuating that his 1 wife was of immoral habits, where upon the woman attacked. advanced to, the witness stand to defend her. sell ,ostensibT She swooned away;i and her attorney instantly asked for a deutee of divorce.
 4itlis granted, said the judge, and continuing lie added:
 Mrs. Sodden, you are entitled to i one-haif Of the community property, 1 and you may assume your maid 1 en name of swetnlan. Addressing Soddens he said: "You will from now i on pay the plaintiff the sum of $6Ol per month, until the division of the property is legally adjudicated.
 The Soddens made their home in this and other sections of the county l until about two years ago.

This notification was given out yesterday by NIT. and Mrs. Love, parents of the Prescott aviator, whose fate has been undetermined since he was reported missing in ac- ton last fall, and whose story has been followed with interest for some months. Not all hope has been giv- up, however, for the parents have received communications from Lieu tenant Love dated September Is. There is evidently confusion of dates, and the hope is held that the other data may prove incorrect.

Getting Down to Business.

If there's any one thing that marks
the big man it is his ability to get
down to business. While the average
fellow sits drumming at his desk the
man of skill starts things. There may
be thousand things to do, but they
will be done sooner If they are done
one at time. It's fine thing to be
able at glance to spot the essential
and go at it. The next best thing is to
get busy at the job that seems to be
most urgent and put that on the shelf
a finishedsproduct. You are then ready
for the next thing. But~it's just the
lack of this ability that puts the
sprays in most mems progress. They
are confused by the many things to
be done. Instead Of getting busy nj
once they waste time in wondering
where to begin. IT'S no wonder they
fail to accomplish things. r.,

Shut the Door!

German soldiers are planning to
emigrate to America as soon as peace
terms are made. They do not want
to remain at home, England and
France will not have them, but they
think America will welcome them.
No! Shut the door on such beasts
of humanity! They are an evil peril
far greater than any humans the
world has ever known. Vile, de-
based, immoral, shall we let them
in? Do you want to come in contact
with such, people? Do you want to
associate and do business with a
people who have not the least shadow
of honor? Do you want to trust the
peace and safety of your home, your
government to people who would
strike under a cloak or when your
back was turned? Do you want to
have for your neighbor one who has
taken part in rapine and murder,
killed defenceless children or manned
them for life? No! A thousand
times no! Close the doors on every
thing German from the beasts shaped
like humans to the toys and whistles

flood the country

Gov. Clement in his argument
before the joint committee consider
ing the Sheppard amendment among
other things said: "You know and
l know that in town which has vot-
ed for prohibition under the local OPP
ton law, it is impossible to buy liq-
uor." That was a misstatement of
facts. Either Gov Clement is ig-
norant of the workings of the pro-
hi5itory feature of the local option
law, or he is willfully blind to what is
h. opening in every town that voted
"co". The illegal sale of liquor und-
er the local option law is as great
ard it's methods as criminal as und-
err he old prohibitory law.

There is no question but what
Vermont's delay in adopting the
Sheppard amendment is due to the
work OF the Local Option League.
Their argument that it is surrender
ing to the government the right to
regulate the policing of the state ard
is contrary to the constitution Of
Vermont puts them on disloyal
grounds. This contention is rank
sedition and to uphold such views is
to stand for a states rights that he'd
in the ante beium days, and for
which President Jackson had to take
a firm hand in the days of "nullifica-
ton" This view held by the local
option league of Vermont, is what
brought on the Civil war, and which
forever established the power of art
icle VI of the Federal constitution,
which says: ''This constitution d ***
shall be the supreme law of the land
and the judges in every State shall
be bound thereby, any thing in the
constitution or laws of any State to
the contrary notwithstanding" If
Vermont's constitution contravenes
this, then change it at once. But
Vermont's constitution does not.
The adoption of the national prohib-
tory amendment is in no sense a
question of internal police and the
local option league, and Gov. Glenn
ent if he thus argues, are rank OBJ
structionists, and forcing policy of
states rights as great as brought on
the Civil war. Vermont, the state
always first and foremost in loyalty
to the Federal government and
prompt to carry out its laws, has for
the first time in her history proved
a laggard. The Legislature should
spend no more time in listening to
sedition arguments, but promptly rat
lily the amendment. IL
