LOS ANGELES, Calf. March A.
The news that Mary Pickford had
divorced Owen Moore, at Minden New.
on the grounds Of desertion, while ex-
pected In some quarters, nevertheless
caused a sensation In Los Angeles.
The sudden announcement startled
the film colony here and production

cussed. The divorce details were not
so much the topic of discussion as the
probability of the marriage of Miss
Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Ru-
mors of this union were heard on
every side, but no confirmation as to
the date could be obtained.
"Hearts Adrift" Again
Mary Pickford made her first stage
success in Hearts Adrift," and the
story Of her romance that has led to
the divorce court in Nevada bears out
the title Of the original play.
Miss Pickford and Moore were mar

Rumors Of an impending divorce were
heard day by day and month by month,
but many Of Miss Pickford's friends
contended she would never file suit,
because of her religious beliefs.

nouncing in New York that she and
her husband were separated.
Mrs. Fairbanks Sues
In this connection she declared that
in her opinion Fairbanks had been
showing too much attention to a nota-
BILE of the films. Mrs. Fairbanks men,
toned no names, but shortly afterward
there appeared a statement attributed
to Mary Pickford in which she assert
ed she had never come between any
man and his wife.
RENO, New, March 4.--Immediately
after obtaining the decree of divorce,
Miss Pickford went back to the ranch
where she has been living. She said
she was seeking a quiet place to live
and intended to stay near Minden for
a long time and to make the state her
permanent home.
Miss Pickford in her testimony told
the court Moore had deserted her on
several OCCdSlOuS anu udU Ouly IttuIu-
ed in respoE>e to, her pleas, but that
2 year ago he left her and has ever
since refused to return.
Owen Moore Near at Hand.
Moore was served with the papers In
his wifes divorce case on Monday. He
arrived at Virginia City Sunday night
with camera man, ostensibly to take
snow pictures for d coming movie fea-
ture. He could find no hotel accommo-
dations, so he went to Minden, near
which the Campbell ranch is located.
While at lunch he was served in the
divorce action.
The Campbell ranch where Miss
Pickford is staying is on the outskirts
of the deserted town of Genoa, first
settled by the Mormons in 1S47, but
now with scarcely an inhabitant.
The ranch house Is at the base Of
the Sierra Nevada mountains that
here rise sheer from the valley floor.
The Campbell home is one Of the most
beautiful in Nevada.
Miss Pickford is out of reach Of the

GUARDING THE STATE HOUSE

MAYOR MOORE'S refusal to grant
AA permits to private associations TO
use Independence Hall as a meeting place
is both measure of safety and an
evidence of respect for the most precious
building in the city.
Any action which increases the security
of the structure is welcome. The menace
of wooden grandstands, existing long
after events which prompted their cree
tion has passed, should not be permitted
to recur.
Equally, if not moro, important is the
necessity for the decent restoration of the
old City Hall or Supreme Court House
at the corner of Fifth and Chestnut. Its
present deplorable condition is wholly dis
cordant with the veneration in which the
entire group of structures is rightly held.
It is to be hoped that the Moore admin
istration, when it gets around to it, will
end this neglect.
The plans for restoring the historic
buildings arc already available. At
present it has dangerous fire-trap pos
sibilities. Compared with some of the
other expenditures which the new admin
istration will make the sum needed to put
the ancient City Hall in order is triaing.

POLITICS IN MEXICO

THEY are to have what goes by the

Mexico in July and plans already are
making for it. They do things down
there. differently from the way we do
them.
Carranza has announced that he is not
candidate to succeed himself. but he is
pursuing the old Diaz tactics. 1t was
always unhealthy for any politician to
aspire to the presidency in opposition to
Porfirio Diaz. Whenever any candidate
seemed to have following representa-
tions were made to him which induced
him to leave the country on the plea of
Illness. As the constitution provides that
no man may be a candidate for the
presidency who is not in Mexico at the
time of the election DiaZ was always re-
elected without opposition.
Carranza has already begun to under
mine the strength Of General Alvarez
Obregon, the leading opposition candi-
date, and no one need be surprised any
day to find in the news dispatches from
Mexico City the report that the general
has taken a trip TO Spain

cerned with the hopes and anXieties and
troubles of our own people.
Truth isn't welcomed by those who, by
means of newspapers, strive to serve
their own private ends at the cost of
society, or by the complacent acceptance
of base politics.
1t is easy to sing with a crowd. The
routine editor, who, makes his living with
a set of ideas generated in 1860, is
profitecr of the worst type.
A man who has the opposite notion of

Grafton will tell the truth because truth
is what the country needs above all
things. He speaks from mighty pulpit.
The mechanism of his purpose is not per-
feet, but it is a marvellous thing in its
way. He may be fooled IN the days
Gush, but he is seldom fooled twice. And
he is comforted by the knowledge that
no rumor is so fast that it cannot be
overtaken ~ his paper, that no lie is so
traditionally sacred as to be beyond his
guns and no interest powerful enough
to escape his inquiry altogether.
He will know that the principles of gov
Crnment handed down to us are a sacred
Heritage that must not be defiled He
will know that the menace to free gov-
ernment never comes from the outside,
but that it often comes from within. And
he will 90 on with limitess faith in the
truth and in the American people and he
will not lose!
In the course of his work he will have
an enlightened conception of news and
its uses. He will not deal in the shame
of unhappy people and he will not trail
the obscenities of social accidents under
the eyes of his readers every day. Rather
will he try to let events themselves shed
some light upon the new issues among
which we have drifted without warning
or guidance.
He will do what he can to begin a
work abandoned when the last gun was
fired.
Where are the French of Ncrdun?
Where are the British of Flanders and
the North sea? We lost contact with
them almost completely when the profess
sionals in high hats pushed them aside to
make peace.
Lines of communication may be run
out to them yet, and if it can be done it
will have to be done with the aid of
journalism. Such will be the aims of the
editor who knows what patriotism means.
And he can feel that he is serving in his
own way as men of our blood have always
served from Valley Forge to the Argonne
forest when. fighting for what was true,
they were fighting for that which alone

jestic and beautiful. They bring a fresh
revelation of unchanging human motives.
The men who fought for the Powhatan's
life and the lives of her company were
not giants. They happened merely to
have choice of alternatives which
they clearly understood. They could do
the noble or the ignoble thing. Such
choice is all that men will ever need.
Clear their eyes. Let them know what
is right and rational Give them only
the chance to be brave and they will be
brave.

ISOLATED AUSTRIA

THE rumor that shrunken Austria and
l. expanded Czecho- -Slovakia have
formed military alliance is exciting
Budapest, but it is scarcely credible.
Austrian army activities are drastically
restricted by the treaty of st. Germain-
en-Laye. Moreover, the Bohemians
cherish too many bitter memories of
the old Vienna government to be eager
to fight the battles Of its modest sue
ceSSor.
What probably has happened is the
negotiation of a trade pact necessary to
prevent Austria from becoming, in
Hoover's words, 1.-THE mendicant of
Europe" The former food administrator
recently informed the ways and means
committee of the House that the new
republic of Austria is able TO raise no
more Sustenance for itself than would be
sufficient for three months out of
year. Non-self-supporting nations are
absolutely dependent on fiuidity in barter,
exchange and credits. Denmark is an in
stance of this and England barely
escaped being in such class during the
war.
The niquities of the Hapsburg rule
cannot be eXpiated. 1t was msconcep-
tion on this point which perhaps moved
the peacemakers to carry punishment of
Austria to an extreme dangerous to the
whole of Europe, which can hardly fail
to be embarrassed by the presence of
pauper nation.
Trade agreements which Austria may
make with her neighbors will be benefit
to the continent. And the Viennese are
now too hungry to contemplate the tragic
burden of more wars.

Dear Socrates Re the Feminist Menace

much as he does-and as for female Polly

noXious to me-but, stars above! j don't
wonder that william is bachelor and IAN
alien who has to carry an identification pass

in the slightest degree, that it is just because
of men such as he seems to be that the
women have broken loose like this.
Perhaps, though, he is not as ferocious as
he sounds. I don't wonder, either at his
being ds-cuss-ted with the female of the
species, after the experience he has had. All
women, however, are not 'vamps' and fem
inists, so why class them all alike and
doom them in that rough cold-blooded
way to the same fate-that of wash
