A disadvantage of Reno, New, ia that It Is too one-sided. Only people of more than ordinary means can take advantage of the opportunities It offers for a comparatively easy dl vorce. If Reno were centrally located and could have, at the same time, the aame facilities of easy divorce the Ne vada law affords, not only could the law be as strictly complied with, but It could be mqre strictly complied with, tis the case of Joseph Seldl and Mrs. Auna Hunnlng shows. As their confessions prove, Mr. Hunnlng and Mr. Seldl had loved not wisely but too well. Martin Hunuing was a Jefferson County farmer, living not far from St. Louis, Seldl. unmar ried, was a near neighbor and "par ticular friend" of Hunnlng. often visit ing bis home, and always welcome. After Mrs. Hunnlng bad made the dis covery that Hunnlng was not her real affinity, and that Seldl was the man she long bad sought and mourned be cause she found him not, the problem of how to get rid of Hunning became a pressing one, both for Mrs. Hunnlng and Mr. Seldl. Their means being limited, the cost of a ticket for Mrs. Hunning to Reno, and the cost of tier maintenance there, was beyond them. How long, or how far, they searched for any ether solution of the problem is not made plain for us. What we know, after their confessions, is that the plan agreed upon was, first to in duce Mr. Hunning to Install a tele phone in his home, next to arrange the location of the instrument thatany one using it must sit near, and back ing, a window, offering an easy mark for anybody on the outside shooting with murderous intent, and last to have Seidl fire the shot which would kill Hunning because he wanted to free Mrs. Hunning-so that he could marry her himself. That Is what he says be did. He adds.in a postscript as It were, that it was the woman who first proposed the plan. A man willing to marry a woman of that sort is hardly worth consider ing as a part of the problem. If the woman originated the scheme, she Is worth more of consideration as a part of the problem. If c married woman can so love a single man who can't raise the price of her ticket to Reno that she will set the stage for. him to kill her husband, all we get out of such a demonstration is the old story that wealth is not a lure for love. Nothing new in that. Look ing at it from another point of view, the fact that Hunning had a very lit tle property, which Mrs. Hunning may have hoped to acquire in lieu of alimony she could not get with a Reno divorce, we find that element in the case which is the most likely to deprive the prisoners of all clemency Still, the problem which this wretched and sordid crime raises remains with us, and it Is: How far, and In how many ways, can cheap and easy di vorce save society form worse crimes? Repulsive as it may seem, this is' an element in that problem which can not be ignored without danger. clal future which Its Far Western neighbor possessed, and thus wa placed In the territorial stage Instead, a half way house which California aklpped. The fight for statehood, which began In 1S50 was contluucd steadily until, at last. In 1912, It ended In victory. Undoubtedly the privileges which CongreHS has extended to New Mex ico are bestowed worthily. The new state's future It bright It bus more Inhabitants than Idaho, which was admitted In 1S90, Uian Nevada, whlcn has been In since 1SC4, and then Dela ware, which whs one of the original thirteen partners In the Union. In the past ten years It gained C7 per cent In population. With the larger liberties and advantages which state hood brings, Its Increase, proportion ately as well as absolutely, ought to be greater In the present decade. It is located in a quarter In which the largest gains of the near future are likely to be scored. Tho Southwest is a section which U only at the be diming; of Its growth, Politically. the new late Is dlvded pretty closely between the governor and one of ts two members of the House of Repre sentatives, while the Republicans have the other member, and also the Legislature, which will choose two senators. Lack of railroads, and also lack of Irrigation, have hampered New Mexi co in Its growth In the past, but these two essentials are now being supplied. The railway builders have been fairly active there in the past two or three years, while the govern ments Irrigatoo projects there are numerous, and are beng pushed with considerable speed It Is a producer of gold, silver, lead and other min erals, and in yield of copper it stands fourth among the states. Cattle, sheep and fruit raising are among its great activities. New Mexico is an important accession to the council of the commonwealths. LINCOLN MEMORIAL MISTAKE. THE FORTY-SEVENTH STATE. The. whole country irrespective of party and locality, rejoices over the admission of New Mexico to state hood. The president's proclamation, citing that that community had com plied with the terms of the enabling act, makes agieeable reading for all Americans. It was a long fight for political equality which New Mexco made. No other territory was kept in the crude, immature status so many years. As a part of the region gained from Mexico by conquest and purchase in 1848, New Mexico sought entranc-j to statehood when the other part of the old Mexican tract, Cali fornia, gained It in 1850, but It lacked the population and the apparent eo- Congress , has appropriated, with the warm approval of the people of all the states $2,000,000 for a suitable memorial to Abraham Lincoln. Two plans are under consideration, one of which must be pronounced a complete misconception. This is a proposed road between Washington and the battlefield of Gettysburg, to be called Lincoln Highway. It is clear on ex amination that building a long road with a few statues here and there would scatter the money without ade quate result, and never be In any sense a distinctive tribute to a phe- nominal man. What that towering figure iu American history deserves is a great monument in Washington where he performed his incalculably valuable work for the nation and where he met a martyr's death just as the preservation of the Union was assured. A Lincoln monument in Washington that does justice to his character and achievements will be always in sight and mind, a constant influence In national life. A roadway would be seen by comparatively few and fall short of the imposing in every respect. It will be necessary to work out carefully the details of a memorial conspicuously placed at the national capital, but It can not be too massive to match the Immortal renown of the subject It should be one of the fore most of the dominating landmarks of the city, a feature that every visitor would seek, and every citizen view with patriotic pride. Good roads are desirable. They should be construct ed by states and their subdivisions as a matter of public duty and ad vantage. They would be more nu merous if states, counties and neigh borhoods would supply the money needed and not try to shift the ex pense on other shoulders than their own. Abraham Lincoln should have an individual monument In Washing ton and one of the grandest in the world. It offers memorial art an op portunity of the highest order. Let Maryland, Pennsylvania and the Dis trict of Columbia build their own roads and keep them up properly. POLITICS AND THE NAVV. The country will severely condemn the action of the Democratic majority In the limine In bringing the question of the natlon'i safety Into questions relating to purely party politics. It Is unpatriotic and un-American. The maintenance of a navy properly equip ped for tho country'a defence Is too grave a matter to be made a political football. SiM-reUry Meyer In 1910 directed to the attention of the rrosldont and CongrtMj the 'act thut the United States with a nuvy half the size of Hat of Great Hrltaln had twice as many first class home yards. Ger many has six and France five to our eleven. These yards cost the United States annually $7,fit'.2,47259. The secretary pointed out that from $2, 000,000 to $3,000,000 could bo saved by abolishing yards that are of no value to the service and exist simply that Middling may find In them re wards for faithful servitors. Instead of authoring concentration and readjustment to bring about economy the House ignored the rec ommendations of the Secretary and proceeded to elmiuate from the ap propriation the money desired for two new battleships. As Mr. Meyer says, the Democrats might have brought about economy If they had the courage to abolish these needless navy yards. Even with a continuous program of two battleships a year, the United States will fall a little behind Its pres ent effective strength for the reason that in another year four of our bat tleships will become non-effective. The policy of calling a halt on the equipment for the country's defence does not appeal to the American sense of patriotism. The defences of the tlon" must be free from politics. While In Egypt Mr. Morp j may make up his mind to add old Cheops and the Sphinx to his art collec tion. To date Mayor Whitlock of Toledo baa a monopoly of the limelight as the only municipal executive In the coun try who asked that his salary be reduced. A dispatch says Mr. Bryan Is wear ing a uew fur cap. What, has some one been handing him another frost? One characteristic of the self-made man Is that he will not permit you to forget the fact. To add to languishing Intel est, some one might start a vice presidential boom. REAL ESTATE A New York judge rules that pe destrians are not required to avoid ve hicles in the streets. This will not prove htaling to the Injuries of a man who fails to dodge an automobile or a trolley. There is a foul conspiracy afoot to injure insurgent representative Vic tor Murdock of Kansas with his con stituents. They are circulating a pic ture of him wearing a plug hat THE SUCCESSFUL MAN You will find, has seldom had any more opportunities than the successful one. His success has been the result of being ready to improve the opportunity when it has presented itself, and, incidently, of being sharp enough to recognize it. An account with us will not only prepare you for opportunity, but will draw opportunity your way that a man without capital never gets.
