DIVORCE BUSINESS COMPETITION.

Three States-Arkansas Idaho and Nevada-are seriously contendng for the divorce business Of the country Nevada has for years been famous, or notorious as the viewpoint may be- for the Reno divorce mill" To that city, since the establish ment of the States 90-day residence requirement. for divorce, thousands have come to take advantage of the opportunity thus offered for quick and severance of marital ties. In the United States, at least Nevada has had monopoly in the quick d- vorce" business.
 Maybe current depression had something to do with their actions or it may have been that they would have done it without hard times, whatever the reason Arkansas and Idaho recently passed 9O-day divorce laws, giving them an even break on the time limit with Nevada. Hot Springs which lures many for the winter months and Boise must naturally have expected to share in the returns heretofore accruing alone to Nevada
 But they seem to have reckoned without con- siderng the up and coming spirit of Nevada. Was that State to stand idly by and its own monopoly smashed to bit by interopers? Not if Reno knew its dvorcees and it apparently did. For now comes the Nevada Legislature with measure to cut the residence requirements to AZ days, less than one half of its former period which has just been adopted by Arkansas and Idaho The Nevada House of Representatives passed the six-weeks bill by a unanimous vote showing how it appreciated the danger threatening the good name of the State. And the Senate is expected to be just as alive to the situation and probably will meet it bravey
 Probably this lively competition will do little to increase the nations divorce rate. Divorce is not ordinarily caused by statutes permitting it. They, of course merely make legal the action. The cause generally rests upon lack of realization of the seriousness of marriage and of the importance of the family in the composition of society. Curbing divorce laws will not remedy it any more than lberalzng them will To mitigate the divorce evil. family life must be raised to higher plane and there will have to be more general realization and acceptance of the seriousness of marriage. In the meantime, shall continue to have our Ne vadas, Arkansas and Idahos with their competition until agree upon uniform divorce laws that will recognize that divorce is the only reasonable means of settling conjugal differences which make it impossible for and women to sustain their relationships as husbands and wives

YOUNG BOOM IS GROWING.

Despite his declaration that he is not candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1882 Owen D. Young continues to be prominently men, toned for that distinction Powerful Democratic leaders of the East, recognizing MT Youngs great ability are seriously considering his chances for election should he be picked the partys standard bearer.
 Were he nominated for and elected to the Presidency new precedent would be set. He would be the first man ever to be the nations previously held any political office elective or ap- pointive The fact that he is being mentioned as candidate indicates something of the change in political ideas in the past two decades. Before the present generation, to have suggested that anyone who had not served a long and arduous political apprenticeship, except in instances where the candidacy the reward for military valor. could be elected President would have been the signal for ridicule from political leaders and party sate-makers
 Today MT. Young, totally lacking any political training and experience, is conspicuousy prominent as more than a possible contender. There is ns much talk of him of any other individual and more than any except possibly Gov. Roosevelt and Gov. Ritchie. Democratic leaders realize if they nominate him, they will have to draft him. He wont seek the nomination and if he gets it. will be his terms His business and executive ability internationally outstanding his statesman ship acknowledged by the world, appeal very strong ly to the party a whole, and his opposition to the National Prohibition farce counts strongly in his favor among all classes in the great industrial States which the Democrats must carry in 1882 to be certain of victory

miles of automatic telegraph typewriter circuits is set forth in bulletin entitled The Federal Air ways System" which has just been published by the Aeronautics Branch
 The Federal Government through the Depart ment of Commerce, has spent approximately $8,- 5oO000 in constructing arways throughout the try to enhance safety and reliability of air trans portation of all types in the past four years, ac- cording to the bulletin This represents capital in- vestment distinguished from maintenance costs Maintenance costs total $5,000000 annual ly When completed the Federal airways system will include about 25O0O miles of lighted airways The bulletin says:
 Ten years ago if airplane pilot took

 would have been regarded remarkable if

 success.
 Now such flights of routine nature
 for every night in the week planes are
 wingng their way the various sections
 of the Nation in the scheduled transpor-
 tation of passengers mail and express.
 This is in some measure an answer to critics of the nations aviation policy. While it is not sub sidizing airplane factories and air transport com panies, it is providing facilities to increase the safety and dependablity of aircraft. The estab- lishment of well-ghted airways has been a big factor in the operation of planes, particularly on a transcontinental scale

Study and Caution Needed.
(Cinclnnati Enquirer.)

At the conference of Governors of seven indus trial States called by Governor Roosevelt, of New York, to consider unemployment insurance it was decided that the subject demands further immed late study" This study will be continued by the Governors 1t is indicated, at a similar meeting to be held in the near future
 The Governors are wise not to commit them selves as group or individually to any set plan or unemployment insurance until a great deal more IS Known about systems already in use by large industries in this country and by Governments abroad In the latter many of the exper- ments have been disastrous because of their political and paternalistc nature And while it is perhaps inevitable that initial moves toward unem- ployment insurance should come from governmental officials, there is real peril in the possibility that insurance will become entirely States function
 It is not the business of government to support the people and citizens who can look beyond the immediate crisis will insist that direct States participation in any scheme of unemployment in- surance should follow earnest effort on the part of private industry to solve the problem in it's own way. With governmental participation in matters of this sort politics always enters and the repeti- tion of traditional political generosity in some new field of paternasm every sensible American wishes to avoid.
