RASKOR. THE ADAMANT
John Rocksh, a democrat of national means, seems on the point of disrupting the party's ranks, if he cannot capture them into following him, by his dogged determination to force the pro-Trump platform in the next presidential race.
State democratic leaders would perhaps be willing—that is, the majority of issue rather than face the danger of splitting the party. But like Governor Woodring of Kansas, who are eloquent in his disapproval of prohibition as an issue in the forthcoming race, many democratic doverners are opposed to Raskof's party panacas.
Yet Rakish alkohly has compromised his party to the extent of three million dollars which he has donated toward national campaign expenses. That is in keeping with the fact that he commands a fair degree of confidence, or even balance of power.
Before it is all over then, the next presidential candidate on the democratic side may again be Alfred E Smith of New York. This time, however, advocacy of a prohibition remedy may be an actual part of the platform instead of an inference to that effect that Smith himself carries.
RENO'S FUNCTIONING C. OF C.
Forecasts, except in the case of the infallible grounddog, are to be taken dubiously. Some time ago a prominent crit prophesed that henceforth fiction would be shorter; novels would cease after a couple of hundred pages. And now appears Arnold Bennett's "Imperial Palace" with 750 pages, Manual Kroffn's "Coronet" with 600, and W. Somether Maugham's "Cakes and Ale" with over 400. And if that very long-winded author, Theodore Dreiser, should appear with a new book, it would probably be "short" at 1,000 or no closely printed pages.
Concurrent with the chamber of commerce tendency in the United States, outstanding results have been obtained by the chamber of commerce in Reno, this country's divorce capital. It cannot be said to be falling behind the times.
The Nevada house of representatives after prolific lobbying on the part of lawyers, hotel proprietors, and business men, last week unanimously passed a bill requiring only six weeks' residence for those seeking divorces, and it is predicted that the bill will have little difficulty at the hands of the state senate. For it is a hasty retaliation to the 90-day divorce laws recently enacted in Arkansas and Idaho, and a defense against it.
While other civic bodies all over the country are worrying along about securing new iron, mining, milling, or brokerage businesses to locate in their cities, or haggling over the laying of new pavement and sewage systems, corporations and well-established divorce industry, with an excellent chance of success.
Severing marital bonds is a highly prized business in Reno. It is valued at from two to three million dollars a year, which includes attorney fees. Legislatures cannot, evidently, disregard this huge turnover in cold cash.
"Death Ends Bandit's Careers:
Headline. Well, we hope so.
BUTLER SPEAKS
The outspoken Smedley D. Butler of Marine fame is before us in the capacity of writer and lecturer. We are wondering if he will command words as effectively as he commanded men. We are holding our breath lest an utterance of his unbridled tongue should bring the wrath of some mighty potent thunderning upon our heads.
We read his article, "Making War o the Gangs," in the March issue of the Forum with interest. We must admit that Mr. Butler has brought before his readers' minds some significant suggestions. He is courageous in his uncompromising denunciation of the laxity in police protection of our cities. He says that police will not become effective until they are taken out of politics. He suggests that they be organized by the state on about the same principles that the army is organized by our government. These state police should be kept under strict discipline and moved frequently to illuminate the formation of influential friends, according to Mr. Butler.
He advocates a national organization of these state police, equipped with the latest scientific apparatus for the detection of crime, and a Scotland Yards of the United States. He says that if one state were to suddenly put into effect a new law, criminals would leave that state in droves like rats leave a sinking ship.
Mr. Butler has made a creditible record on the police force at Philadelphia and has spent the major part of his life helping to maintain law and order. He should have some basis for his suggestions. As he reminds us, crime is not found in the open highway where shines the light of the sun.
About the only interest some people have in the drouth is the technicality of whether the correct word is "drouth" or "drought."
MADAME SCHUMANN-HEINK
MADAMI SCHULMAN
Mine. Ernestine Schumann-Heink grand old woman of the music world, who was a member of the big gang Saturday night. All of the troupers referred to her as the best friend they had ever known; a mother and a pup at the same time. Rossy said she was the biggest cut-up of the group, and the selfless she was more interested in life than many 17-year-olds. There can be no greater tribute paid to a 70-year-old woman.
There is much to be said about the philosophy which will produce a character such as Mine, Schumann-Henink. She says criticism is the worst enemy of all mankind, and especially of youth. It has been her policy to let others do the criticizing. Never to complain is another of her maxims. Discipline of the mind, and respect for authority receive their regard from the great conruito.
The greatest thing about her, however, seems to be her regard for youth. Never condemn the boys and girls of today, she says to the older people. If you cannot show them an example, or give them something better to do, say nothing to them. They are good at heart. Give them a chance to show their goodness. They will not drink smoke and stay out late, if they have something better to do.
Happiness is the greatest aim anyone can have in life. Mme Schumann-Hinkh has attained happiness, and has held it first in her life. Success came to her as a result of a natural talent, and she has considered it as such. She would have been the same great woman had she never been a noted singer.
"Booze Views Vary."—Headline. And so does booze, for that matter.
"An ultra-colligate atmosphere prevails" says the Kansas City Times of a speakeasy. We are glad that someone known that a collegiate atmosphere is.
Reviewing the cinema "Honor Among Lovers," the Kansas City City star critic called it "Honor Among Thieves" when he gets down deep in his comment. Perhaps the love interest has a stolen interest, but some of us are anxiously awaiting the photoplay to clear up the questionable simile.

scri伯 in The Gazette, don't we get more news of the Bonnett trial in The Gazette?"
Fair question. The answer is simple:
Mr. Bennett snapped Mrs. Bennett and
being at the moment peeved, Mrs. Bennet
killed Mr. Bennett.
Why get excited about it? She was sassy and maybe got what was good for her. He was a brute and a coward and he could be as forceful as the jury will decide the kind and character of her offense under the law. Why clutter up this newspaper with snippets from her life?
Roxy outlooks, said the man.
"Flames make everything rosy," declared the cynical one.
Why clutter up this newspaper with the silly, sordid, supply slush, that the jury has to hear?
Campus Opinion
Two law students met the other day, and the conversation opened with a cynical exchange. "Well," said one, "do you think, when you're 90 years old, you have to be ready for the bench?" "Probably," was the reply, on the Supreme Court Bench in Hades.
Much has been said, of late, by a few non-fraternity men who believe that they do not receive full benefit from the university since they do not belong to a Greek-letter organization. They may not be as well protected than that snobbery and clique are protected tensibly among fraternity men. They have protested severely because fraternities are not democratic and be-ware that men are excluded from the ranks of the Greeks.
If you want that kind of a paper, stop The Gazeet and buy that kind of a paper. This paper is not edited for morons.
HIV HIV HIV HIV HIV
On the other hand, the announcement was made in Sunday's Kansas that some twenty-one of those dissatisfied with the purpose of organizing a new party which is to be both political and social. This party is to stand for "fair play" and above all it is to be democratic. It has been announced that they would meet soon to decide on the "qualifications for admission" to their party. It seems to them whether one is on the lookout in or in the inside looking out. This group of dissatisfied men organize a new party because some have been excluded from the Greeks. Then this new organization includes its "qualifications for admission."

Just before the Veterans' Loan Bill was passed by the Senate, President Hoover wrote Senator Smoot a letter asking him to suggest that it be changed to restrict the loans to veteran really in need. The Rea is admirable, but for all practice, he needs someone up from his fiddling and suggested a bill to establish a fire department.
