emancipation of women, divorce
has become an easy matter but, if
the new order of things, divorces
are not at all popular.
Now that the sexes, among the
educated classes. have been min
Cling freely socially. and in the
professions, many young men who
we're married according to the old
bethrothal system by arrange
ment" meet girls whom they like
better than their wives.
The outcome often is that they
seek and easily obtain a divorce
on the ground of incompatibility
of temperament.
Then the discarded wife goes
out in the world to start all over
again. But life's pathway for her
if she has become domeSticated
and is lonesome for companion
ship, is not a rosy one, for the
young men seem reluctant to
marry wives divorced by other
men.

FAIR PLAY FOR
JUDGE BREEZE

The people of Las Vegas have
flair for fair play. In view of
the very genearal sentiment that
Judge Breeze has not received
that fairness and justice to which
a man of his high character is
entitled, it is suggested that the
Primary Election next Tuesday af-
fords a proper opportunity FOR
the expression Of pubic sentiment
on this matter.
The Age is not against any other
candidate for Justice of the Peace.
On the contrary, we have a most
friendly feeling for all Of them.
But we cannot avoid sharing In
the general resentment at the
treatment to which Judge Breeze
has been subjected.

on the work of replacement
of much of the old system, the

She has a great talent. her technique

her back with enthusiasm. She opened
the program with q group of old
