The old States, j tl although alive with republicans suc-jci ceeded in polling a good democratic' w majority. However, we wilj better b nderstand when Mr. Harding hands ut the official pie as to who is who t his administration. This old town had a sensation Satrday a week ago that brought to iind the stories of desperadoes lounted on wild'horses, armed and inked up on bad whiskey painting 3 the saying goes, the small mining )wn out west, a brilliant red. It jems that a recent ^law enacted by ie legislature does not appeal to a srtain class of her citizens.

Elihu Muldrow AS OTHERS SEE US/ renchman Says Americans a Waste' fal People. (British writers in numbers have *en looking this country over - and >cording their impression of America. Now comes a Frenchman, Louis homas, who writes for the Paris eekly, L'Opinlon. A poet had it right about the desi-r >ility of a people seeing themselves i they appear to others. So, even, ough one does not agree with all at's said by these travelers, there Is > lack of interest in their contents. "American wastefulness is.a stupeing thing to Frenchmen/' says lojmas. "We are thrifty, and even, we ust admit, avaricious. Our experts, ho co-operated with them in war iterprises, found them abnominably isteful, indifferent to costs, and lprovident to the last degree." The reason is simple, says Thomas. "Americana are gamblers! "They do not want to make * mod-J ate profit, a steady, regular, perips mediocre income, but, on the mtrary, to make a great deal of oney in a very short time, to 'get ch quick." "They gamble at business?not at >ulette or baccarat; but et is gamblg al! the samp.*' As for wastefulness: "So many people there have made eir money by chance, by good luck, r a flash of imagination, and not r the sweat of their brow, that they e naturally wasteful and spendr rift to an extent which we can hardimagine in Europe. "Everyone wastes, even "the poor, iH nnrttfnilnrlv tho women, who. for ie most part, do not seem to have me to acquire the habits of economist housekeeping possessed by the omen of the Old World." ' o exingtqp Dispatch - News. We knew it. A subtle intuition ild us, vOr maybe it was leading Geo. 'arren's speeches last summer that sused us to get a prophetic view)int. But however, it may be, it was )t hard, to foresee the drift of rents. The next amendment to the deral constitution will may be cram )wn our throats a federal divorce w. Propaganda to this effect has *n going on for time; but awakled interest in it is created by the jpearance of the following article in enry Ford's monthly, The Dearborn [dependent: With suffrage a fact we may exjct to witness a recrudescence of :tivity in the movement to amend ie Constitution, wipe out the Lried state laws on divorce, and ibstltute Federal legislation thereir. Divorce Itself is scarcely a greater ril than the unsatisfactory state ws that now permit persons to go leir respective ways. Scandals of ie divorce court are not uncomon to the readers of daily newsipers, but there can be no remedy ir such conditions with the present r&tew obtaining. Our jurist recently said: "I do not see why uniform laws ii divorce are not as necessary as niform bankruptcy laws. It would e possible for the local courts to iminister and handle divorce ises just as naturalization work, rovided for by Federal laws, is cared on in local courts. When officers >uld look up the case to be sure lere is no collusion, and then the ise could be tried in the regular ay in the circuit court. It would e possible to get after men who move from poo state to another to avoid paving alimony to their helpless wives and children.'* As suggested, it would introduce a more serious note in marriage if it were kno#n that the stern hand ;01" Uncle.Sam were raised to see that justice was meted out impartially to all. And the pity is that sooner or later we are going to have the uniform divorce law. The drift is all that way. 'As to the fear, of stern old Uncle Sam {it seems to have a slight deterrent effect on moonshiners.'
