Asks for Divorce


John w. Kearns has commenced
suit for divorce against Hazel L..
Kearns in the Knox county common
pleas court. The plaintiff states they
were married May 6, 1914, and that
three children were born to them.
The plaintiff charges that the de-
fendant associates with other men
and stays out until 1880 at night.
He alleges that her association with
two men, Gerald Popejoy and Perry
Householder, has become so notori-
Gus that 1t has become neighborhood
scandal. The plaintiff clans the de-
| fendant stays out late at night while
he remains at home and cares for
the children. He claims she is not a
fit person to have charge of the chill
drcn. The plaintiff therefore asks for
n divorce and the custody of the min
or children. Columbus Ewalt repre-
sents the plaintiff.

The Knox county commissioners,
at their regular. session Monday,
adopted resolution calling for a
special two-niill levy for three years
for road purposes in Knox county.
According to the resolution, the
proposition of the special two-mill
levy will be submitted to the voters
of the county at the coming Novem-
Der election. If the proposition
should carry, the two-mill levy would
realize about 100000 year.
County Auditor Rinehart explained
to The Banner Tuesday that the coun.
ty road fund was nearly dApleted, de-
spite the fact that the road fund had
a regular levy of 31s mills this year,
which will bring in approximately
S175,00O. However, one mill of this
will be applied towards the bridge
fund, but the balance will be turned
over to the road fund.
Ii the special two-mill levy propo
sitlon should carry at the November
election it would not become oper
ative until the year 1928.
| County Auditor Rinehart announced
Tuesday morning that the increased
levy in many of the townships and
corporations this year was due to q
demand for good roads and therefore
additional funds must be provided foi

THE OPEN DOOR
There Are Two Views OF IL ana
They WIN Not
Mix.

There are two irreconcilable views
Of the open Door-the one the demo-
cratic view which has the support of
America, and which is that the open
Door means equality Of opportunities
and fair dealing.
And this means that weak nation
is not to be robbed or unfairly ex-
plotted by intimidation or bribery OF
it's officials that if foreigners go in
to develop a country's resources they
shall cheat neither the natives nor
each other; their profit must spring
from honest service.
Thus the open Door really opens
not to bayonets nor boodlers but to
the golden rule.
The other, the imperlalistic view,
practised by most adventures into
China and now upheld unblushingly
by two Governmcnts-Japa and
Frances that the open Door means
limiting the number of the looters 50
as not to cheaper too greatly the
value of the loot.
Those who have imposed spheres
of influence" and exacted valuable
| concessions. having got theirs, are
willing that the old game shall stop
and new rules be made provided the
iniquities of the past are let alone.
Virtue is to begin when vice is satiat-
cd.
Such is the significance Of the
cavalier manner in which our pros
pectlve allies in the Far East have
removed the teeth from Secretary
Hughes belated proposal to be good.
We are told that even a promise of
future amendment by promise break
ers gorged with the spoils of past
robberies constitutes a glorious vic
| tory for American diplomacy.
Those who think so must be easily
satisfied.
