Reno and the Wolf. (New York Herald TRyibune.) The legal fraternity at Reno is much depressed ‘l—fmancially if not in spirit—by a falling off in the divorce traffic this last year by something like “5200.000, as reckoned in fees. The actual number “of suits has dropped from 4,754 in 1931 to 3,214 this showing a loss of almost exactly one-third. | vear; [There will be no doubt in any reader’s mind that |of the persons who would have bustled off to Nevada - |in more prosperous times, to show the parties of |the second part what the parties of the first part| had b""‘“_‘ b»"' far any previous| DEATH OF DAN WILLIA would not endure, simply could not finance ;u”‘xrecords for any similar length’ of |demonstrations this last year—or would not. | time. - - For residents of the East coast the most modest Reno divorce, including fares, six weeks’ board and lodging in Nevada, legal and court fees, less than $1,000. the Reno courts would ordinarily have enjoyed an at the lannual increase, the published figures indicate that Daniel John Williams was a great man, though|about 1,600 American men and women—mostly wom- his extreme modesty s aversion to self-exploita- en—either could not invest this minimum sum in a tion lifstime insistence that his works must declaration of independence, or had so much else speak for them and hiln, confined knowledge of his (L0 think about that it did not occur to them.

(Seattle Journal of Commerce.) “It is not help but obstacles that make men,” Samuel H. Piles, former United States Senator, told ste o lovame‘busme%s men of Seattle in a recent address. Senator i |Piles traced the building of the West, the hard- ships of the pioneer, their privation but their refusal to ask or accept assistance, and stressed the im- |portance of building human character through the facing and overcoming of obtacles. It is not wealth hat makes a people grand, but |character. Our present trend is not toward char- lacter building.

The probabilities are that a tax of $5 a barrel on beer would produce more than the expected $125,000,000, annually. It would probably be some- time before it would begin to produce heavily. It might be that the smaller estimale would cover the first year's collections. i OUR WOKLis IS NEW.
