The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-12-02
in THE EYE OF THE CAMERA

A lady way over irr Maine is in
dulging in a hunger strike with a
view to winning back the affections
Of her spouse, who has brought
suit for divorce. The lady is pur-
suing a very foolish course. 1t
stands to reason that If the man
can prove, beyond the peradventure
Of doubt, that his wife is engaged
in an orgy of dissipation, of that
sort, the court will require no addi-
tional grounds to impel him to grant
relief from the ties that grind.
After filling his tank with wood
alcohol a San Francisco man de-
parted from that city, ticketed one
way to the Great Beyond. just
before he left a friend aroused the
man from a stupor and the latter
said, as he looked the midday sun
square in the face, "Why, it is still
night" This teaches US that If one
wants to get things all gummed up
and say goodnight" in the day
time, wood alcohol is a particularly
efficacious beverage with which to
irrigate ones interior department.
William Gibbs McAdoo, the al
legged financier who deserted his post
at the time the national finances
were most acute, comes forward
with the suggestion that the tariff
beneiciaries should pay the soldiers
bonus. 1t would keep Mr.. McAdoo
pretty busy between now and 1924,
when he hopes to capture the Demo
cratic presidential nomination, if
some one would give him the job of
counting those beneficiaries. When
he had concluded he would find that
his total was something like 107,-
600, 000-the population of the
United States.
A senate member of the agricul-
tural committee has introduced a
bill calling for the creation Of a
government capitalized corporation
TO buy and sell farm products.
Whittier are we drifting? Will we,
eventually, all become paternalistic
ncompetents requiring govern
mental guardianship to pilot us
through the shoals on life's journey!
Can it be possible that we are ap-
preaching an era when initiative and
ambition, and the disposition to
light LIES battles ION our own
will be things Of the past!
A Denver husband has just been
granted a divorce because his wife
is serving a life sentence for the
murder Of another man. Thus Is IL
made clear that separation doesn't
make the heart grow fonder, senti-
mentalists to the contrary, notwith-
standing. We are not inclined to
become a party to any freak wagers,
out we are perfectly willing to bet
4 railroad against a handcar that
the Denver gentleman will be mar
lied again within the time limit
prescribed by the laws of Colorado.
In one respect, the plan OF
organization of the Railroad Labor
Board was probably unsound. The
aw provided for three members
representing labor, three represent
ng the railroads, and three rep
resenting the public. That is no,
he way we establish courts, and
the Board is a sort Of judicial
tribunal trying a special kind Of
cases. Undoubtedly it would have
! been better If the members were
chosen without regard to their affili-
alton with either the railroads OF
their employees, but representing al
the people-just as other public
officials do.
| According to southern publica.
tons, the agricultural products Of
that section are worth q billion dol
lars more this year than they were
last year while the Democratic de
fation program was still having
its effect. Yet the south voted al
most solidly Democratic, as usual.
All attempts to enforce nations
prohibition are to be abandoned, OF
at least, Commissioner Haynes say
that all of the law-enforcemen
grafters are to be dropped from
the organization that he hesds.
he really does fire them and doe
nothing until he gets honest men il
