Mild red Davis, in her suit for divorce against Theodore C. Davis, of Green's Fork, was rendered by Special Judge John L. Rupe in circuit court late Mon day. Cruel and inhuman treatment was the charge on which Mrs. Davis filed her complaint. The court took the stand that grounds for divorce had not been es tablished by the testimony presented. The court said: "I have been impressed with several things in the trial of this case: The evidence has been very extensive and I have not sought the position that I am filling now. I have no knowledge of these people on either side, except as I have seen in this court; know nothing of them or their families. I have been favorably impressed with both the plaintiff and defendant as well meaning, very nice people. It has seemed to me that there has been an effort In this case to magnify trivial matters common in the experience in all families in their domestic relations and which, if they are not magnified but allowed to dispose of themselves in a natural way that people get along and pass them by and live happily together. Erroneous Idea. "Some people seem to have' the idea as to our divorce laws that they can go into court and submit everything connected with their family relations to the court and the court is authorized to do whatever the judge may think is best for the parties upon his own ideas and upon what he thinks ought to be done. This is an entirely erroneous idea. Our divorce laws are a positive statute. This case is brought into court on the charge "that the plaintiff, an innocent party, is entitled to a divorce because of "cruel and Inhuman" treatment -of her husband.

Wharton, one of the three members of the United States Labor board, whose dissenting opinion on the wage decision for maintenance of way workers brought forth "the living wage" rejoinder by the majority members Sunday in statement published today, declared the majority's opinion was fallacious and contained untruths. "I was not permitted to see the majority statement before writing my dissenting opinion," he said. "Now that I have read it, I find that it is fallacious and contains untruths. . In soma places it presents alleged arguments which on their face are impossible. "The majority statement speaks of a $20,000,000 increase it has given ths maintenance of way men. On the same method of figuring, it cuts their pay $60,000,000 in the July 1 ieclsior. so the railroads are still $30,000,000 te the good. ' Does Not Explain.

Events of the past two days have served to mabxi more difficult the determination of President Harding to save the railroad labor board from abolishment at the hands of congress this winter. The board's action in officially denouncing the principle of the "living wage" as put forth by thi railroad brotherhoods, and its refusal to use that principle as the basis for a new, all-around wage boost to rail workers, has renewed and strengthened the demand that the board be wiped out The fresh resentment against the board is not confineid to labor support ers in congress. In other ranks the board's statement attacking the "living wage theory was characterized as an "unnecessary" and bunglesome! affair and one that constitutes new evi dence of the fact that the labor board" is serving no useful function and should be abolished.

The so-called cooperative pact between Governmental conservatives and the Lloyd Georgian National Liberals, which yesterday appeared to be gaining strength today seemed near a smashup that may force . Lloyd George to really carry .out his threat to "spread the war" and wage a bitter fight to the finish with the men who brought about his downfall. - One trouble seems to be that Conservative candidates "have bobbed un against those running under the Lloyd George banner in certain constituencies where the latter had regarded ! themselves as safe from Tory attacks. Lloyd George is represented as being indignant and as contemplating the carrying out of his threat if the conservative party does not withdraw some of the candidates already entered against his followers. Others feel sure that he will" really "spread the war" with vigor should the die hards put up any" more" candidates against the National Liberals. At this time the Lloyd. Georgians have about 168 candidates in the field and they are reported to . have 250 others ' in reserve.
