there were many more people who enjoy

Divorce Mill Again Grinding.

A divorce mill was grinding at
full speed in Denver Friday. Judge
Malone released eight couples from
the ties, which were formerly held
binding, but which now seem little
less than a compact of a temporary
nature.
The grounds of those who ap>
piled for divorce was abandonment.
Women with children, were asking
to be released o! the names of men
who tired of them and coward like
skipped out.
Instead of granting divorces to
such as these, the court should
have found. if possible. the location
of the recreant, cowardly cur who
had abandoned family and children
and by civil or criminal process
brought them back as a states
charge and forced them to care for
their families.
Our laws should be SO amended
as to make it criminal for a man to
desert his wife and family without
he most flagrant conduct should
De charged against the wife.
Thousands of men marry in the
present day, as a temporary matter
having no intention OF maintaining
the solemn bond. These are crimi>
nal in our sight. They should be
hunted down as a menace to So
ciety, should be ostracized from
the companionship OF all decent
men and women and made to fee
that they have violated and outs
ragged a canon OF civilization, the
same as If they were, horse thief
burglar or other common thief.
Society is too lenient to the cows
ard who deserts his family, upon
the trivial reason of incompatibility
of temperament or some such
specious excuse. 1t is too apt to
make him a dawdling hero or In
vest him with halo which is at
trac,ive to silly ieminity. Instead
the ropes end or the toe of a clean
cut boot should be the instruments
through which he should be sooth,

An interview with Senator
George Swink, of Rocky Ford, in
the Denver Republican makes that
gentleman say that more settlers
are going into the Arkansas valley
the present year than ever before
in the valleys history. This state
ment is undoubtedly true. There
are reasons most abundant also for
such an influx Of settlers. The Santa
Fe system has well defined policy
OF building up the country adjacent
to its line of territory. This has
been the policy of that road for all
the time Of IT'S existence Along in
the seventies Immigration solicitors
came into the richest portions OF
Pennsylvania and secured hundreds
of well to do farmers, who settled
in eastern and central Kansas. The
same policy has been adopted
throughout all the years that the
Santa Fe has been opening up vir>
gin teoritory. What effort has been
made to settle western Colorado
has been made by the people them>
selves. The great Denver and Rio
CRADLE road has made spasmocic
effort, granted homeseekers rates
on its line, but aside from a general
invitation to settle on the fertile
valley orchard lands has done little
else. With the great areas of unset
tied lands, almost the greatest nat>
ural water supply Of any irrigable
section in America, it would seem
that the trans>continental line, as
now constituted, the Missouri Pa
ciic Rio Grande system would to
use the Rooseveltian word, be
more "strenous" in its work to
people the unoccupied lands of the
vast territory Of the Grand and
Gunnison rivers.

cua, court employee, and gave Rath-

Nine American Soldiers Ask
Their Fellows 10 Desert.
STRANGEPR0CL ISSUED
Charge Is Made That the War Was
Started to Fill the Pockets of
Mark Hanna and Other
Capitalists.

The war department has received
from the Philippines copies Of a re-
marEable proclamation, signed with
the names of nine Americans, seven
of them stated as being in the United
States military service, inviting Amer
lean soldiers to desert and join the
Filipino soldiers. The text of the doc
lment is as follows:
ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN"
Dear Fellow-Countrymen: After
many months among the Filipino peo-
pie, studying their customs and char
acters, we, the undersigned, have come
to the conclusion that the time has ar
rived for US to break the silence and let
you know the real truth, so that you
will see the follow of continuation OF
fighting these people, who are defend
ing their country against the cruel
American invasion in the same manner
in which our forefathers did against
England in those glorious days of our
grand and noble liberator, General
George Washington.
"Since the day we were led by our
conscience (and) presented ourselves
to the Filipino authorities we have re-
ceived the best of treatment and we
are enjoying life of luxury without
having to put our lives in danger, as
you do who still remain in the Ameri-
can ranks fighting for an unjust cause,
which, sooner or later, must surely
rrove disastrous, as it did to the Span
ish, Notwithstanding that ther knew
tie country and customs of the people
better than the Americans do.
For the above mentioned reasons,
and also that the war may soon end,
We ask the men of the American army
stationed in these islands to present
themselves to the Philippine autholi'
ties as We did, thereby showing your
selves to be true Americans, upholdIng
the policy of Washington and the
Monroe doctrine against th2 onloit.cus
policy of President Mckinley, who for
two years has carried on this "ruel
war, spilling the innocent b.ccd OF
thousands of American soldiers, and
with what object? To fill the pockets
of Mark Hanna and several other
American capitalists who have been
for years and are now ruling America
today, or, in other words, changing
your blood for gold and robbing many
a loving mother or wife Of son or hus-
band, thereby making many a once
happy home sad and miserable
Before we close, let us tell you that
near every town there are always sta
toned forces of Filipino troops to
whom should you so desire, you can
present yourselves, with or without
your rifles, and avoid danger, il is best
10 hide it in a secure place, and after
you have presented yourself, inform
the Filipino officer or chief Of the
gucrrillas, and they will recover it and
pay you some money in return.
with this we conclude, wishing
you the best OF fortune. We remain,
yours most sincerely,
