TO REPUDIATE FILIPINO WIVES
American Soldiers Shamelessly Ask
 Courts to LegalIze Desertion,

Leavenworth, Kan, special
 The suit of First Lieutenant Sidney s.
 burpank, 9th infantry, against Mrs. Con- cepcion Vazquez, a Filipino woman to set aside an alleged marriage, will come up for hearing in the Leavenworth district court Monday. The suit was filed Sep
 tember "A and the fifty days time allowed
 under the Kansas statutes to answer has expired. So far the woman has not been
 heard from. It would require another month Tor the Filipino woman to make a
 defense, as all the papers in the case
 have to cross the Pacific Ocean twice. The suit will be watched with great in-
 terest in army circles, for dozens of pros- pectiYe weddings hinge on the outcome
 or the suit, having been held upon ac-
 count of the order issued in the Burbank case that marriages of officers who had
 native wives in the Philippines would not be countenanced. There are several of
 these cases at Fort Leavenworth.
 Lieutenant Burbank was engaged to
 marry Miss Stone, daughter of former
 State Senator Stone of Leavenworth The engagement was announced last summer Then the claim of the Filipino woman was sent to the War Department, which call
 ca upon Burbank for an explanation and threatened him with court-martial if he
 married again while he had a Filinpo wife. Burbank, in order to clear his | name, filed suit to set aside the maria se.
 lie charges that the papers are forgeries and that it is plot to marry this Fili- pino woman to him or to extort money. . The engagement with Miss Stone, it is | understood, is still on, but there will be no marriage until the suit is decided. Miss Stones father is Lieutenant Burbank's at
 torney in the suit to have the alleged Filipino marriage set aside
 Lieutenant Burbank strongly denies that he was married to the Filipino wo.
 man and in his petition says in part: This plaintiff further ayers that he is an officer in the army of the United States
 and as such served about two years in
 the Philippine islands. and from May, 1900, to May 1902. had his headquarters
 at said municipality of Valladolid; that | during part of the time he had his head quarters al said town he was acquainted
 with the defendant and met her fre-
 quently, as did also other men in the
 military service of the United States. but
 that his relations with her were not other
 or different than the relations to her of other men in the army and in private | life that during all of the times that the | plaintiff knew said defendant while sta | toned at Valladolid she made no claim
 or pretension to being his wife"
 Lieutenant Burbank is still at Fort
 Leavenworth carrying on his army duties. The War Department will take no action l regarding the matter unless Burbank | loses his suit in the civil courts

Secession Recognized.

AldylOn hecOru.
 In 1861 eleven States seeded from the American Union and built another gov ernment.
 A great war followed and after years | Of battle and blood the seeding States were oVerpowered and brought hack The South has not yet recovered and 1t is clearly established that majority power Will not allow any State to depart. The States are held to be inseparable. Distinct as the pillows, but one as the sea, Is the poetic expression that is ap- piled to an association which was made by compact.
 It does no good to reply that each State before the Union was formed. was sover- eign. free and independent. and that each sun retains all rights and powers that were not expressly surrendered by the constitution. This old-fashioned doctrine is not to he tolefated by our dominant polllcal power called Republican. In their view the Union is d solid whole in- diSsoluble and indestructible, no matter now much one section may abuse and oy- press another-no matter how far cen trallzed power may trample upon reserved rights.
 But behold! new event has happen ed Just few days ago the State of Panama seeded from the United States ot Colombia in South America. This State proclaimed its independence and its separate and exclusive government All the balance of Columbia is understood to he bitterly opposed to the secession. and to be preparing for, the coercion of the seeding State. Where do we find our strenuous President in this condition of affairs? He Is the leader of the great political organization that bitterly denies the right of secession and stands ready to crush it with armies. We of the south We're called rebels and traitors, nor are those epithets out of use yet.
 The President has hastened 10 recognize Panama, and to give Colombia to under stand that she cannot land troops to make a war or coercion. In other words the secession of a State of that govern ment Is to he sustained by the United states of America This does not re- suit rom emergency or necessity. It is bold. reckless and indefensible move ment on the part of President Roosevelt. The need for the canal does not furnish excuse. The law providing for d treaty With Colombia also provided for co-opera- ton With Nicaragua in the event of fail ure With the former. Nobody can tell what Will happen nor how much trouble may follow. That the party will sustain the executive need not be doubted. They are loo we'll disciplined to halt over a question of consistency. Are We to be cmnroled in q war with a people who VIII have the advantage of fighting at nome with the added stimulus of fight ing for their own?
 We could get d canal without war and without robbery. But with present com phcationS can we get one at all? We small Se what We shall sec"

that way. A sensitive woman or high ly strung man may prefer death to un- favorable comment, and may choose sui- eide rather than live under unjust or slanderous charges. Shakespeare alludes to one who was ''done to death by slan- derous tongues an expression more poet ically expressed in Poe's "Lenore," but the great dramatist in another place speaks of slander-
 Whose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue
 outvenoms all the worms of Nile, whose | breath
 Rides on the posting winds. and doth belle All corners of the world. This is a vivid description of a vice much more common in this world of ours than it should be. It is not always that thoughtless remarks are intended to wound or injure the one about whom they are made. Some people are much more sensitive than others, and shafts of com ment or ridicule wound them deeply when they would make no more impression on other natures than would contact with the wing of a butterfly. "The evil eye" of envy or prejudice, and ''the slanderous tongue of unthoughtedness or malice is responsible for many an untimely grave or broken heart.

THE sLANDERoUs TONGUE,

In Edgar A. Poe's poem, "Lenore," the following lines occur:
 How shall the ritual then be read? the
 requiem how be sung, By you, by yours, the evil eye--by yours,
 the slanderous tongue,
 That did to death the innocence, that
 died. and died so young?
 Recently The New York World had an account of the suicide of modest and highly sensitive young woman, who was ''done to death" by the tongue of slander and detraction. Her parents had been wealthy. and her father left her a com- petence. but brother got possession of it and lost 1t and she had to work to live. She secured position as a stenographer, and would have earned a living honor ably, but some of her fellow employees made, contemptuous remarks about her clothing, which was the best she could afford. Under their cruel and unjust crit icisms she became morbidly Respondent, took poison and died. The slanderous tongue" murdered her.
 Only a few weeks ago the world was shocked at the suicide of General Sir Hec- tor Mcdonald, one of the most brilliant soldiers of the English army. who had won renown and promotion to high posi- tion for his services fin many campaigns Certain disparaging statements made about him so wrought on his sensitive spirit that he thought himself disgraced and took his own life. Subsequent dis closures proved beyond doubt that he as entirely guiltless of any wrong and that the statements made about him were base islanders. The slanderous tongue" was again a murderer.
 These two instances might be multiplied many times, but we have referred to them because they are so recent They are examples of what thoughtlessness or malice can accomplish when highly sen sitive nature is the victim. There are those who can endure danger, hardship and all manner of privation without giv- ing way but who will sink and die under harsh or unjust criticism. There are some who care nothing for the opinions of others. and on whom no criticism, false or true, has any effect, but all are not

WIVES AND THE LAW.
Significant Evidence of Woman's Increasing Independence.

oIS SulucanL Evidence or WOunA
 Increasing Independence. Housekeeper.
 No more significant evidence of wo- mans increasing independence is afforded than the changed attitude with which the law regards her status afte marriage To realize the radical reform that has been effected in this regard during the last fifty years we have only to recall the marriage protest of Lucy Stone, the famous advocate of equal suffrage Upon her marriage in 1855 to Henry B. Blackwell both she and her husband signed protest" against such of the present laws of marriage as refuse to rec ognize the wife as an independent, ra- tional being, while they confer upon the husband an injurious and unnatural su- periority investing him with legal pow CTS which no honorable man would exer- else and which no man should possess. :" Among the laws protested against were those giving the husband the exclusive control and guardianship of the children; the sole ownership of the wifes personal estate and the use of her real estate, un- less previously placed in the hands of trustees; the absolute right to the product of the wife's industry, and, finally, pro- test was made against ."the whole system by which the legal existence of the wife Is suspended during marriage, so that she neither has a legal part in the choice of her residence nor can she make a will, nor sue or be sued, in her own name, nor inherit property" Then the newly married couple cited this as their creed:
 We believe that personal Independence and equal human rights can never be forfeited except for crime; that mar riage should be an equal and permanent partnership and so recognized by law; that until 1t is so recognized married partners should provide against the radi- cal injustice of present laws by every means in their power"
 It is gratifying to observe how, during the last half century, the various unfair discriminations which were the objects of Lucy Stones marriage protest have been removed from the statute books and laws substituted which embody the long, looked-for justice. Different States have special laws, but throughout the country the principle holds good that a married woman. without the consent of her hus- band, may receive, hold and manage property and sell or bequeath it as she sees fit. In most States, too, she may make contracts in her own name and in- cur liabilities.

PRESERVING THE INDIAN
 NAMES

The Richmond Times Dispatch is in a somewhat regretful frame of mind over the decadence of the names of Powhatan and Pocahontas among Virginians. but that decadence is but the natural result of the effacement of old ideals. In the early colonial days of Virginia there were few prominent names to select from among the white settlers. The romance attaching to the old Indian king and his daughter made it natural that their names should be given to the male and female infants of the white colonists. The names themselves sound well and many of Vir- gfnia's early settlers were proud to bear them.
 But as time wore on Virginia's own sons were numbered among the great men and Washington and Jefferson, John Randolph and Patrick Henry and other men famous in war and peace came on the stage, and the loyal men and women of Virginia laid aside the Indian names and took up white ones. Still later they had Andrew Jackson and Winfield Scott and after them the heroes of thes Confed- eracy were to be honored, so the names of Lee and Stonewall Jackson and other names dear to the loyal Confederate heart must have their day. Perhaps these will be followed by other Southern or Vir- ginia great men, but our contemporary has some hope that there may be back ward sentiment and that Powhatan may again become the name of Virginia boys, while girls will be called Pocahontas or Matoaca, as her Indian other name was.
 However this may be we look on 1t as a fact to be regretted that more of the local Indian names are not preserved. In Alabama we have the names of many To- calities and streams which are neither appropriate nor ineligible. In many cases the names are taken from foreign places which have no application here. or the places are given the names of men who were never connected with this re- zion and whose names have no signih- canoe as applied in Alabama. The South ern Indian names are generally soft and pleasant and invariably had a meaning applicable to the place. Our towns and cities and streams should preserve the musical and significant language of those who owned the land before us and lett So many evidences of their sense of fitness in nomenclature.

pr. Crum has not yet seen the color of his expected salary as Collector of the Port of Charleston, and this leads The Charleston Post to remark:
 In the South We hire negroes for places that they are fitted to hoId and pay them for their servlces. The administration s policy is to put them in impossible posi- tions and let them work for nothing
 We are surprised that the President should show so little consideration for his dear friend Crum. If nothing else can be done he might keep the door of hope open for the darkey by giving him slice of his own salary.
