ence with the President OH pension
matters, says the report Of the G. A.
II. pension committee was submitted
to the President over week ago. At
his request, however. it will not be
made public for some little time, as the
President has under consideration the
selection Of a successor to Pension
Commissioner Evans. Judge Terrence,
discussing the report, said:
"The committee found no fault with
the pension laws as they now exist,
but rather with the manner in which
the laws have been construed and ad-
mlnistered by the pension bureau. The
atmosphere of the pension bureau has
been such as TO create an impression
that a great many frauds are attempt
ell by the old soldiers, but it Is worthy
Of note that according to the last re
port of the commissioner there were,
out Of 159 persons convicted of frauds
against the bureau last year. but ten
soldiers Of the Civil War, of whom
two were deserters. Many convictions
were for offenses against the old sol
diers and not for him. The records
show that only one old soldier out of
$1,000 has been convicted Of fraud
against the government. Certainly
that is a wonderfully good showing"

Denver, March 3O.-A Republican
special from Rock Springs says:
Neager details OF battie on the
range in the upper Green river c0un-
try between cattlemen and sheepmen
were received here last night.
Roam and Abe Hill, sheepmen, were
seriously wounded, but were not dead
when the courier came out. Eleven
hundred of their sheep were clubbed
and shot to death. The Hill brothers
shot two cattlemen, whose names have
not been learned, but they were not
fatally wounded.
Another report says several sheep
herders were severely beaten, and a
large number Of sheep killed, but no
person was shot or fatally hurt.
Reliable information is hard to OBJ
tain. for the telephone line to Big
Piney is still down.
The SIGHT occurred yesterday on the
range south and east OF Big Piney,
near the border line of Uintah and
Fremont counties, not far from the
Green river. Only meager details have
been received, although trouble has
been. expected for SINE time. The
cattlemen have been fighting the inva-
sion Of the sheep, knowing that the
entertainments of the latter meant the
destruction Of the range. They drew a
dead line near Big Piney and served
notice on all sheepmen that II this line
was crossed there would be war. De
spite this notice bands Of sheep have
been working their way mp into the
disputed territory, and the situation
has become strained The sheep have
come from southern Wyoming, Utah
and Idaho. Several bands have been
coming up into this section recently,
and the cattlemen determined to make
an issue Of the matter. 1t is known
that they have organized for the pur-
pose, but until another messenger re-
turns from the scene further details of
the fighting will not be known.

WOMEN FARMERS.

Among the entertaining and hopeful
speeches delivered at the recent Farm
ers National Congress at Macon, that
of Mr.. John NJ. Stahl takes high rank,
and the feature of his speech probably
was his consideration Of woman as a
farmer. He expects to see the number
of woman farmers largely increased
before a great many years. Modern
invention and modern methods have
removed from farming much of the
hard work that was formerly neces-
sary. The greater part of the work
on an up-to-date farm requires in
telligence and dexterity and applica-
ton rather than muscular strength"
The old plan of accomplishing every
thing by main strength and endurance
has passed away and given place to
better and more economical methods.
Very much of the farm work" said
Mr.. Stahl, lis no more firing on the
muscles than operating a typewriter:
it is much less wearing on the nerv-
Gus system. and is certainly much more
healthful." And life on the farm is
certainly more Independent and salts
flying than life in an office cramped
over a desk, with possibly dyspep-
tic employer at the other side of the
room, ever ready to find fault and as
sert his authority.
Farming has been regarded as a mas
culine employment: nevertheless there
are a considerable number of women
in the South who have undertaken it,
and made it pay well. even though
they labored under distressing disad-
vantages. After the close of the Civil
War, when husbands and brothers had
given their lives for their country and
there were no men left to till the lands
of the old homesteads, hundreds of
women put their hands to the plow
and never looked back. Many of them
performed all kinds of farm labor with
their own hands, for the support and
education of their young children,
Their endeavors and their sacrifices
were of the heroic sort, for which
they deserve and receive the highest
honor. Owing to the lapse Of years
South, the absolute necessity for wo-
men in numbers to become farmers
is passing away, yet even in Georgia
we have to-day many women farmers.
We printed a story from South
Georgia county only a few days ago
giving some account of the success on
the farm OF a woman who had been
left widow with several children. It
was stated that each year she not only
raised everything she needed in the
way of provisions, but had a surplus
worth several hundred dollars which
she sold in a waiting market.
If farming has been regarded as a
mans work, so have the law, the
store, the Office, ETC., been regarded as
suitable only for men; yet women have
entered all OF these and established
themselves firmly. May they not do the
same on the farm. from choice rather
than from necessity? Sowing. cultivat-
ing and harvesting may now be per-
formed with machinery needing intel
ligence rather than strength. There is
a labor-saving device for almost every
hard task in farm work, and sound
bodies and vigorous minds come with
exercise in the open air It may be
that Mr.. Stahl is something of a
prophet in his prediction OF the in
crease Of women farmers.

The DIVORCE EVIL.

In an article in a recent edition Of
| the New York American and Journal
the Rev. Thomas B. Gregory presents
some rather startling figures and facts
relative TO the divorce evil in the Uni
ted States. That divorce under the
easy system which obtains in many of
the states is an evil, and a very serious
one, needs not to be argued; il is a fact
which every serious minded person
must admit. During the past forty
years more than 100000 divorces have
been granted by the courts of the Uni
ted States. The total number of di-
vorce cases in the United States for
any given year since 1870 exceeds the
total for all the rest of the world. In
1870, 31z per cent. of all the marriages
in this country ended in divorce. In
1900 this percentage had more than
doubled and was s per cent. A st.
Louis judge not long ago granted six
ty-two divorces in half a day, and in
New York a Judge granted seventy
three DEGREES of divorce in $50 minutes,
devoting an average of a little more
than six minutes to each case. In some
localities the records show that as high
as 20 per cent. Of the marriages end in
divorce. I'VE must confess" says DR..
Gregory, that of all the contrivances
for the breaking up OF homes the pres
ent divorce laws take the premium"
The record is indeed dark one, and
it seems the evil is still growing. The
divorce mills" continue to grind their
grist in ever increasing volume. Mar
riage is lightly entered into by care
less, thoughtless or designing persons,
because it may be lightly and easily
set aside. A premium is placed upon
hasty and ill-considered marriages,
and the facility with which divorces
may be obtained can only tend to the
destruction of homes and the debase-
ment of morals. 1t is true that in
some of the states there are divorce
laws constructed so as to make the
process long and tedious, and which
thus act as a deterrent They make
the parties to the contemplated action
think twice before they act. But there
are so many states in which the di-
vorce laws are lax and easy that the
beneficial influences of the stringent
laws in other states are minimized. A
person has only to go from one state to
another and reside there short time
to secure the privilege of quick divorce.
What is the solution of this great
problem? There ought to be a solution
found, and it cannot be found too
quickly. With almost one in ten mar
riages leading to the divorce court, it
is high time that a remedy were being
searched for diligently. Uniform mar
riage laws would probably reach the
evil but how could such laws be Sc
cured? The Rev. Mr.. Gregory advo-
Gates an amendment to the Constitu-
ton Of the United States that would
give Congress the right to go to work
and make the laws the same in each
state. That plan, however, would be
strongly combatted by many of the
states as trenching upon their rights
and sovereignty.
