disrespect for law. To denounce the
Acknowledgement for the position he
has taken in this case is a denuncia-
tion of the constitution of the laws of
his state, and denunciation of the
people themselves.
Counsel declare there is no pre-
cedent for an action such as the one
instituted. We answer there is no pre-
eedcnt for such situation. Counsel
seem to assert that there have been
many divorce cases in Nevada identi-
cal with this case. This we deny 1t is
4 case that is probably without par
allel in the judicial history of Nevada.
I'VE believe it is a safe statement
to make that no other Attorney-G Gem
eral ever had divorce case present
ed to him where there has been such
untruthful evidence given for teh pur-
pose of leading court of this state
to hold thhat it has jurisdiction when
in reality the jurisdiction did not ex-
list.
IF married parties may, by false
testimony, collusion or fraud, obtain
a divorce by the methods pursued in
this case, there can be no value con-
nected with the long established prin-
ciple that marriage and divorce are
controlled by law Then law must be
set aside to satisfy the individual
wishes of the marriage contract.
Then the sovereignty of the state will
be defied, its courts contemptuously
abused, society impaired and the FAM
ily and the home disrupted"
The Pickford case argument was
set for January 20 by the Supreme
court to enable Gavin McNab to dis
pose of the manslaughter case against
Fatty" Arbuckle in San Francisco.
The Arbuckle case is scheduled to

BEGIN COMING THE new
DOLLAR this MORNING

Coinage of the new silver dollar,
the peace dollar, of the new design,
began at the San Francisco mint this
morning, according to an announce
ment by Superintendent Of the Mint,
Mike Kelley.
None of the 1921 dates will be
made, the official stated, but five or
six hundred thousand of the 1922 dol
lars Will be put out on the coast.
This new dollar has the head of
Liberty on one side and on the other
there is a dove on a mountain top,
clutching an olive branch, struck by
the rays of the sun, with the word
Peace" beneath.
The San Francisco mint has been
working twenty-four hours a day for
the past few months coming silver
dollars of the old design, and about
100000 have been issued from the
mint during these few months. The
Philadelphia mint, according to Kel.
ley, has coined 100000 dollars of 1921
date with the new design.
This is the first change in the de-
sign of the silver dollar since 1878
and will remain as the design of the
dollar for the next 25 years unless
changed by legislation.

RAILROADS ASK SQUARE
DEAL AND FAIR RETURN

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4-Regard-
less of differences that may arise
from time to time between the men
and the arrangements of the rail
roads, both Of them unite in desire
to give the public good service, VIM.
Sproule, president of the Southern
Pacific company, said in statement
made public today.
The railroads, Mr.. Sproule pointed
out, are permitted under the Trans
po1tation Act to earn a return only
upon the value of so much of their
properties as is used in the transpor-
tation business. Because this value is
fixed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission "talk about earnings on
watered stock or inflated values means
nothing" he said.
After discussing the new status of
the railroads under the United States
Railroad Labor Board, Mr.. Sproule
said "the railroads enter 1922 with the
knowledge that the public interest
must always prevail and are bending
every effort to have their equipment
in condition that will justify the pub
lie expectation of good service.
"In return, the railroads ask the
public to see to it that we are fairly
rteated; to see to it that We are not
Disseminated against either on the
public highways or on the water ways
or in taxation. We ask for a square
deal. We know that under equal con-
dtions we can serve the public well.
We are sure that temporary diversions
of business and temporary inequali-
ties and unfair taxation are bound to
be corrected"

LARGE CONGREGATION

First Christian Church Minister No
Turns ana breaches on. "our
Mission"
BY w. g. STANTON.

A large congregation greeted Rev
W. II. Fields who. after a month ao-
sence from the city filled the pulpit
at First Christian church.
4 special petition for the restoration
70 health OF the wife OF our President
was made by the minister. Ihc ser
mon topic chosen was "Our MISSION
with a text taken from Luke lO:l.-Ihe
Lord appointed other seventy also, ana
sent them two and TWO before HIS race
into every city and place.
Rev. Fields said in part: The month
OF September marks the beginning =
another church year" and l am pray
ing that II may be one in which FIRST
Christian church may do greater things
for God than she has ever done before.
, There really should be no beginning
or ending" connected with the church,
as We find no such thought associated
with it's founding. The devil never
takes any vacation, and I really believe
he gets in hts best work during the hot
| weather when so many are lax IN churcn
e~attndance. 1 had evidence OF this when
waiting on a steamer 10 take me 10
Chicago, and overheard some women re-
jo!cinS over their winnings at a caro-
party the night before.
Christ Chose Common" People
The seventy" mentioned in my text
were not apostles. but just common.
ordinary followers OF Christ. A lot or
folks get the idea hat all the work or
the church deyolves upon the chosen
officials, when nothing cold be further
from the desire OF the Founder or me
church. We must all do oar part. or
Il may forever remain undone.
Some may say that these seventy
! men could have covered more territory,
and done more good II they had been
sent out singly. instead of two and
two" Jesus was wise enough TO know
what discouragements would be the lot
Of these men. and how helpful II would
be for them to cheer each other up al
such times. We find today that In
making a church canvass, especially Tor
funds. tina TWO heads are better than
one" When some. cynical member says
you only come to see me when you
want money" This is a time when
a fellow needs a friend" II helps me
as a minister when l know l have a man
upon whom I can thrust some OF my
church burdens.
