Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-06-11

You may call this view Of mar
riage pragmatic, materialistic, real
istic, sacrilegious or opportunist.
But as long as il concerns wellpay-
ing business, the Nevada Bar is not
apt 10 change its views.
II this is the basic theory of Ne
vada divorce law, then the corner
stone of its administration is the
residence requirement. Every man
or woman who obtains a divorce in
a Reno court must solemnly testify
under oath that he has come to
manent residence.
did you come to Nevada with the
intention of making this your home
for an indefinite period of time?" is
the sing-song routine of every lawyer
whose client is on the stand.
The client. whose return ticket
home is usually in his pocket at the
moment, says a vigorous Yes"
Every time j hear this testimony
in a Reno court, expect at least an
admonitory clap of thunder, If not a
bolt of lightning, aimed right at the
classifying divorce.
Surely the court, the divorce and
her attorney know she's lying in her
teeth" / exclaimed Indignantly to
the lawyer who had kindly taken me
into court TO see my first Nevada
divorce case. They must know she's

mulled this for a moment.
But doesn't that amount 10 collision, malprac
tice perjury and fraud, 10 say nothing OF the per-
version of justice?" / asked.
How you do talk. honey, and what big words
you know" my legal light said tolerantly, and
closed the conversation.
Nevada's residence requirement now shaved 10
six weeks, stems from legitimate historic impulse
in the growth of the nation. In 1864, Nevada
admitted 10 the Union state by the Proclama-
ton of President Lincoln, who desperately needed
the states electoral votes in the impending
presidential election, just as the Union itself des-

NO LASTING PEACE UNTIL
BY William Henry Huff

(For AMP
There will not be lasting peace,
IIostilities will never cease
Until these baneful homefront Nazi gangsters stop
This calling Sam the Niger boy and Nick the "Wop"
Such thing as this engenders strife.
No peace be where it is rife
Where the smile should be- it frowns and hatred breeds
Until such naughty tactics change
And all men come within the range
Of what is called the brotherhood of man
And fatherhood of God
Ordained and stamped and written in the plan
For all upon this sod,
say, where these conditions are
There will be and bloody war.
Such hate but leads to seas of blood
Would you create crimson flood?
All, trouble waits for those who're calling Irish Mike
"shanty' lrishman and Abe dirty "kike"
Believe me- this is dynamite
To blow peace higher than kite,
And it is but the road to run--to certain DOOM
Now, where there is democracy there is no room
For snobbishness and hate like this
Wherever found it is amss.
Hate is but that something hidden in the spring
That evil dragon red,
Deadly as the henlock, grief and death to bring;
It is thing to dread
Stamp it out, kill its increase
Then there will be lasting peace.
