HORTON DIVORCE CASE REVERSED
 ; BY SUPREME COURT IF ARIZONA

Hortons lived together until about February 20, 1920, according to The record, and then Mir Horton secured an annullment of the marriage by the Maricopa county superior court on the ground that Mrs. Horton had married within a year following her divorce.
 The supreme court held that the present laws did not prohibit the practice of divorced persons being married in other states to avoid the restrictions provided in Arizona. It suggested that if the legislature dis approved of the decision in this case, the next legislature should enact leg islation explicitly providing 'that marriage contracted within another state by parties who have left this state for the purpose of evading its laws and who return and live here, shall be of no force in this state"
 The decision of the superior court the Horton marriage was reversed with instructions that the action be dismissed.

 PHOENIX, July 5. - The state supreme court today held that mar riages contracted outside of Arizona by, persons prohibited from marry ing within the state by the Arizona divorce law are valid and binding, even when the contracting parties return to this state to reside.
 The decision was handed down in the case of Annie Horton, appellant, vs. L. J. Horton, appellee. The case had been watched by many persons in the state who had gone to other states to be married in order to avoid the restrictions imposed by the Arizona divorce laws
 According to the record in the Horton case, Mrs. Horton was mar ried to MT. Horton on. September 12, 1918, in Deming, N. M. She had been divorced from William Craw- ford in Arizona on August 1, 1918, and was ineligible for marriage in Arizona until August l, 1919 The

SENATE ADJOURNMENT DEFEATED
 NARROWLY BY MIXED POLITICS

1 A break in the ranks of republican
 members of the house ways and
 means committee who drafted the tariff bill came today when Repre- sentative Frear of Wisconsin made public minority statement charging his colleagues with disregard for party pledges and assailing them for proposing fundamentally indefen- sible provisions and rates of duties.
 The statement will be filed along with the majority report of the com mittee which is expected to be sub mitted to the house tomorrow
 Mir. Frear's attack while predicated on the dye control provision, em- braced many other features of the bill. The Wisconsin member de- clarcd the rate of duty to be ex- cessive in scores of instances and added that they would lead to ex- actions by trusts and monopolies," thus increasing the burden the people must carry.
 Mir. Frear referred to the argu- ment that protection for the dye makers was necessary for national defense and asked why it was neces- sary to assume that the nation would be thrown into great war and at the same. time "to grant practically exclusive rights of dye manufactur CTS to recognized monopoly"

CROWD NOT UP TO FRONTIER STANDARD

The last day crowd was smaller than usual by several hundred. But the entertainment on the final day was Of superior quality. It seem ed as though the saddle buckers were bent upon making up for the lack of casualties during the first three days, and they r'ared. in a man. ner more sensational and, spectacular than ever before. The Bolshevik, on which was found Mister Lee Robin son, was perhaps the meanest of the lot, and anybody will' say that Lee did himself proud.
 Harry Henderson on the hurricane deck of Dry Farmer donated the crowd the more sensational ride, right up to the grandstand fence, with dust and clods flying and horse and man just a-workin' it for all that both were worth. Ritchie Lewis got a remarkable ride on Red Fox, than which old-timer in the bucking arena. there are few if any horses than whicher ...
 Doc Pardee, a rider who has held the medal, and for whom can be said thing not applicable to any other in the immediate vicinity-that he has never been disqualified-got fourth place behind Ed Hendershot, who followed Harry Henderson. There were some who figured Hen derson and Pardee to class above Lewis and Hendershot, but it was the board of three judges that rode closest to the men and had the best opportunity to observe the conduct of men and beasts. And their awards made by voting, were what Homer Wood used to figure out the final averages.

sides kept the two apart until their
separation was made i~rrevocable by

lover wrote to the father of the dead
girl, begging the privilege of looking
upon her remains and of following
them to the grave. But the letter was
returned to him unopened.
-Four and forty years passed, and
Buchanan went to his grave without
V e having taken any other woman
to his heart. When his executors
opened the papers, which the aged
ex-president had left in a bank vault,
they found among them a little pack
ct of treasured love letters from his
sweetheart of long ago. But in ac-
cordance with the request written on
the outside, those faded mementoes
of his only love were burned without
breaking the seal on them.
Buchanan was by no lei a crab
bed old bachelor. He remained al
ways most courteously attentive to
women, though with a perfect impair

near Lancaster, Pa, he brought up,
from early childhood, the orphaned
son of one of his sisters and the
orphaned daughter of another, who
became, as Miss Harriet Lane, n
of the most admired mattresses of the
White House.
After Buchanan had risen to top
rank at the Pennsylvania bar, with a
practice that brought him as much
as $4,000 in a year, he entered poll
tics. Starting as a F~ederalist, he be-
came a Democrat only at the death
of the party of his first choice. He
was elected to the legislature and to
congress; was thrice elected to the
senate; served as minister to Russia
and Great Britain and was secretary
of state in Folks cabinet.

mined all around and under you and
ready to explode, and without prompt
and energetic action you will be the
last president of the United States"
"Mr. Stanton pleaded the feeble
old man, "for Gods sake come in and

The first day that Stanton took his
seat at Buchanan's cabinet table he
told the secretary of war, Floyd Of
Virginia, that he fought to be hanged
on a gallows higher than Haman'S' for
having ordered Major Anderson, with
out the knowledge of the president,
to stay in a defenseless old fort at
Charleston harbor instead of trans
ferring himself to Fort Sumter. as the
major had done in defiance of orders.
Before the middle of January tha
cabinet was r~eorganized and Buchanar
was surrounded by stanch Union men,

sometimes left him GREATNESS. The

successful farmers. They have won
their spurs and are entitled to a hear
ing. One farmer submits that if all
the 1000 farmers of the county want
ed the services of county agent the
office would need seven or eight as
sistants working night and day. He
holds that while few may be bene-
fitted by the man a greater number
will never see or hear OF him.
Friend Bish places considerable
stress on the county agents report.
Again we must caution him not TO be
too confding The county agent is
nobOdy's fool and he would be fool
if he couldn't fix up a report Of his
own showing how useful he is. That
is all right and the Herald doesn't
blame him for making good case.
But we always accept anybody's re-
port or alibi with a reservation to
consider how vitality interested he
may in the matter himself. This IS
an old point of law and justice and
friend Bish and others may profit by
it.
The Herald is open to conviction
and some of our friendly readers who
know this have written and talked to
us in a good-tempered way and
shown us a number of things. For
instance we learn that the Glen Haven
community work has been developed
through the county agents office. The
work is fine and to be applauded
Then we learn from the governments
swine expert, Dr. Gruenewald, that he
depends upon the county agents to
keep him posted upon animal plague
conditions. This, it seems to us, is
an excellent argument. These and
other points for and against the idea
have made the discussion an interest
ing, and to us, profitable one. We
do not believe in showing a man into
corner and telling him to shut up
because he does not view things as
we do. That is paternalism when it
drops it's pose of benevolence and gets
mad. Sometimes the man to be
showed is a belligerent devil and in
stead of being pushed to one side re-
taliates. The paternalist gets shot
in the eye. This opens his vision and
is also good for his soul. We know
because at one time we belonged to or
had inclinatiOns toward the -paternal-
istic school ourselves. But we re-
formed and now feel it our duty to
bring the light to others. But dll
Jokes aside we submit that only by
open discussion, without rancor, can
subjects be settled and men be con-
vinced
Well, Bish, we think you have taken
up enough space in the Herald for one
week and we will now bid you fond
farewell. So long-Al.
