wife, whose name should be associated
and Incorporated In dispatches trans-
mitted all over the country. Now,
as always, my desire has been to do
that which would contribute to the
happiness of my wife and children,
and If l have In any way failed, God
knows 1t has not been prompted by q
desire to do 30. Now, as
ever, l want that which
will contribute to the happiness
of my family. If my wife thinks sep.
arstion will contribute to her further
happiness, then her mind and mino
are alike. l have done nothing to
merit the obliquy cast upon me-
Those who best know me will tell you
what my desires are in this matter.
God has blessed me with wealth; l
have never used 1t for any mean
or unmanly purpose. My heart and
hand have always been open to those
In distress and will continue to be to
those who seek or require my help. I
repeat that In this matter with my
wife, which has been made so public,
l have nothing to say further than
that 1t pains me to see her name and
mine associated with such dastardly
and vindictive dispatches that have
gone forth to the world. l am the
