The New York Recorder unehivalrOusly
says: Miss st. John has obtained a separa-
ton from her husband What the public
wants is wide SEPARATION from Miss St john
and the unsavory story of her life How
holy. How aromatic with the essence of
pharisaism is this hypocriticai structure of
the Recorder. Not one word against the
wretehed apology for man, her nus
band, who, upon the witness stand.
confessed the story OF his own contemplate
life and pitiful degradation. ContumeIy for
the woman, but not one word of censure for
the thing whose name the woman bore by
act of marriage. 1t is difficult to conceive
the moral bias which could induce a writer
to pass under paragraDhic yivisection the
character OF Miss ST. John and remain silent
upon the fragrant and self-confeSsed all
around general cussednesS OF her erstwhile
husband. However, it is evident that the
Recorders view of the case is in line with
the process of reasoning exercised by the
average English jury. In England. particu-
larry IN London, the quality of mercy for
dereIct wife is strained; it might be said
severely Overstrained. For the equally eul-
pable husband that judicial mercy drops as
freely as the gentle dew from heaven. But
wherein lies the justice of this? Certainly
the divorce courts of this country exhibit no
such lenlency for the offending husband.
Nor shonld they, nor should an American
newspaper be ungallant enough to assail a
wife while shielding an immoral husband
with the mantle of silence
