WIFE ABANDONMENT A FELONY.
First minneapolis Husband to Suffer "A
Penalty I'nIn, I;u,n.,4, I

Il Irst vi inneapolis husband to Sufier "A
Penalty Under Minnesota Law.
To Geoi sc y. kenncy belongs the dis
tinctioD of being the first man convict
cd in Minneapolis under the new law
treating abandonment of or failure to
support ii wife as IA felony. The court
was lenient with him ana gave him the
lowest penalty only ninety days in the
WorkhOuse-inStcad of the limit of
three years in the penitenliary. Mr..
Kcnney's bad eminrnce should be Il
warning to other men, says the Min
ncapolis Tribune, who are inclined to
neglect, evade or shirk their duty to
their families.
The Minnesota law is a new depart
ure in sociology. Heretofore such Of
fenscs have been treated as misdemean-
ors. The delinquent husband could be
lined-in which case the wife usually
hustled around and raised the money
to pay-or compelled to give bonds for
good behavior or sent to jail in default
of security. Hut now he is confronted
by "A hard-labor proposition.
If his failure to support his family
arises from laZineSS he finds that he
has Jumped out of the frying pan into
the fire. in being compelled to work
for the State under more disagreeable
conditions than free labor could pos
sihly involve, If he has means or prop
erty he would naturally prefer to draw
upon his resources rather than incur a
penal sentence.
1t is not to be presumed that the aver
age man will sin more than once in this
direction if the law is vigorously en-
/ forced against him. If he can show
that he has done the best he can and
that his failure to support his family
arises from inability to find employ
ment that is, of course, a good de-
Tense.
This law gives the wife better
chance than she had before. She can

such subject matter should be the

Just at present the pulpit does not often
allure men who have no htness Tor 1t
except that of Christian character, but
time has been, and that not very long
ago, when the piety of mothers induced
them to urge the ministry on sons who,
in the most eXacting of professions, could
only fail. Nothing in this world is sadder
than wastefulness, and there is absolute
waste when a man who could make an
excellent shopkeeper, or notable me-
chanic. or thoroughgoing farmer, is in
stead pushed into place where, besides
conservation, he needs love of study, per-
suasive eloquence, instructive tact, and
an almost universal sympathy. The same
criticism applies to others of the learned
professions. The army and the navy are
reckoning more of our sons than of old;
forestry is coming to the front as new
profession; journalism has been added to
the vacations made practicable to the lib
orally educated, and in brief, a young
man with brains. pluck and persever-
ance has no excuse for not getting on If
only he can secure the right introduction
and beginning.
We shall have reason to hail it as a
wholesome sign of the times when Ameri-
can youth cease to be Indifferent to poll

ever obscure his origin. may through de-
termination to overcome obstacles and

sion on the part of many men to study

the grist which comes to their mill; they
do not reject any fuel which makes
steam; they accept every element which
increases the enthusiasm, and they hon
estly desire the sympathy and co-opera
ton of women. But, in politics neither
the labors nor the opinions of women
have any apprecable influence unless en-
forced by the ballot. There are object
lessons without number to prove this as
serton.
Would it not show more wisdom, com
mon sense and self-respect in women to
organize and work to make themselves
part of the electorate before they labor
in behalf of any political party! No one

franchise women. buttit will have to be
