"Chickens Come Home to Roost."

-CH1chenS come nome TO hOOSC."
Not a little amazement Is expressed
at the growth Of. the Chinese military
establishment since the war with ia
pan. The Celestials did not accomplish
this unaided. 1t was mainly the work
of the European powers, who scram-
bled over each other in their efforts to
modernize the Chinese soldiery. They
detailed skillful officers, who carefully
drilled the apt Orientals In the business
of scientific warfare Enterprising Eu-
ropean manufacturers eagerly supplied
vast quantities Of Mausers, Krupps and
Maxims to the dowager empress gov
eminent, and thus the whites In every
way facilitated John Chinaman's prep
aration to slaughter and exterminate
the Caucasians sojourning within the
Middle Kingdom. Doubtless but for
this Admiral Seymour would have been
able to have reached Picking in time to
save the thousand Europeans and
Americans from a fearful fate 1t is
likely also that if Germany had not
sent General Won Henneken to drill the
Chinese troops Minister Won KetteIer
would have been alive today.
1t would seem to be an opportune
time for the powers to unite in a pact
to be enforced by rigorous penalties to
prevent once for all the supplying of
fighting paraphernalia and tuition to
nations and peoples who disregard the
rules Of civilized warfare and who in
dulge in the inhuman treatment Of cap
tives. Such contamination may sound
like an iridescent dream, for the inter.
national jealousies and the avarice of
arms manufacturers make such a prof.
ect most difficult if not altogether i'm
possible, but SO long as the more civil
lied nations continue to furnish in
struction and munitions of war to the
less civilized it may be expected that
the latter will some time turn them
with deadly effect upon the former.
There is an old and homely saying that
chickens come home to roost."

The Right Sort of Judge.

There has been quite too common
practice in the courts of some sections
Of making the road to divorce as easy
as possible and OF occasionally strain
Ing point in favor Of the petitioner.
1t is therefore gratifying to note that
there are judges in such cases who ad-
here to q strict Interpretation of the
law and by their rulings discourage
rather than encourage the severance Of
the matrimonial bond.
An interesting case in point has late
ly occurred in Kansas Mrs. Emma
Collins was granted a divorce by Judge
Simmons at Fort Scott. The following
day she married J. II. Johnson Of Jop-
lin, Mo. The judge, learning of her
intentions, wired her a warning that if
she married so soon after being divorc-
ed he would set aside the decree. The
wedding, however, occurred, and the
Judge made good his warning, prompt
ly annulling his former order, although
the young wOman's friends exerted ev-
cry possible influence to mollify the
memorable juriSt. Judge Simmons used
some very pertinent and pointed
phrases in the judicial scoring he adj
ministered to the delinquent which are
worth printing:
Your method of transacting business was too
swift for me. At the moment the court was seri-
ously engaged in the unpleasant: duty of severing
your marriage relations with one man you were
spreading the feast for a wedding to another. Our
statute expressly stipulates that the decree does
not become absolute until six months after its
rendition. You made of the statutes Of Kan
sas to obtain divorce, and then In utter disre-
gard of those statutes you married in Missouri
Duty requires that such an example be set in
your case that Others may be deferred from fol-
lowing your example. do not intend to adver-
tlse the Sixth judicial district of Kansas as
dumping ground for domestic infelicities Of mat
rimonial adventurers
This Fort Scott judge is to be ap-
plauded for his action In refusing to
permit his court to be the sport Of any
such jugglery, and it is to be hoped
that some other jurists whose attention
may be called to the case will see les
sons In it. If the method he employed,
which was clearly within the law, shall
serve to cast merited obloquy on the
practice which he rebuked, 1t will be q
distinct step toward discouraging such
improprieties. If few more judges
would do the same thing, there would
perhaps be fewer of those discreditable
instances where ''the funeral (divorce)
baked meats did coldly furnish forth
the marriage tables"

There is a proposition to divide the
little Gn population) state of Oregon.
The great state Of Texas has had the
privilege to do this ever since it was
admitted to statehood, but it shows no
disposition TO avail itself Of the oppor-
tunity. There is quite generally pre-
vailing sentiment in favor Of states re-
tanning the territorial form in which
they entered the Union.

The result of Tuesdays contest
throughout the union is gratifying in
the extreme to The Gazette and to re-
publlcans generally. Though we may
nave lost the governor through a mis-
taken idea among the people that
Rogers had been a good one, the state
results are undoubtedly republican in all
other instances, while the state has gone
probably 5000 to Mckinley. Both re-
puohcan congressman are certainly
elected. While few county officers have
been no doubt lost to us, the result in
the county as a whole is a republican
victory, notwithstanding the combina-
lions made in favor of two or three
democratic candidates.

An example of women's activity well

have been almost completely trans

since last September. They have by
their active influence and organized la

water system, municipal electric light

intelligent name system for the streets,
signboards with names at all corners
and a drinking fountain costing 5000.
These are all improvements which the
men folks had talked about for years,
but their efforts were confined to talk.
The women accomplished them in a
few months without increased taxes,

Concentration of democratic effort on
Rogers in the state and Chadwick in the
county elected them. This should be a
warning to republicans in the future not
to be gulled into scratching their own
ticket on the specious pleas so diligently
lad before them. The county and the
state are surely republican and it is not
credltabe to throw down our own good
men to satisfy the official cravings of
two or three democrats, some of them
of pOpulstic faint.
