DUTY OF DIVORCED HUSBAND.
He Must First Care for His Children
Saws the Court

Seattle-In the case Of a man with
two Families on his hands, one by
his present and the other by his first
wife, the mans first duty is to sup
port the children of his first wife.
This position was taken by Judge
Tallman in the case Of Effie Stolicker.
VS.. w H. Stolicker. But in such
case as this" continued Judge Tall
man, the strict letter of the law
should not be enforced so severely as
to work a hardship on all the par
ties
The case was brought by the di-
vorced wife for the purpose Of en-
forcing the payment of a monthly al
lowance from her former husband,
granted her by the court at the time
the divorce was given, for the mainte-
nance Of the three children, the issue
of the severed match. The defendant
alleged in his defense his inability to
pay the amount demanded, and at
the same time support his present
wife and the child which is the issue
Of his second marriage. He further
set up that prior to the granting of
the divorce an agreement was entered
into between himself and the divorced
wife covering the division Of the
community property, the agreement
stipulating that the wife should not
ask for alimony. The court held that
it was permissible for a husband and
wife to agree as to the division of
community property, but that agree
ments as to the disposition of minor
children were against public policy,
and that matter should be left to the
discretion of the court.
The court therefore held that the
agreement between the husband and
wife for the division or the property
was not a bar against compelling the
husband to pay the stipulated amount
monthly to the wife for the support of
the children.
Both wives were in court during
the hearing Of the ease, the first wife
with her three children. but the sec
ond wife without her one child, which
was left in the charge of a minor
aunt. The much burdened husband
is common laborer working in the
woods and earning some $40 al
month. With himself and his second
wife to support out of this he does
not see that there will be anything
left for his first wife's children. But
the court declares that the allowance
must be paid though it took the po-
sition that this demand should not be
enforced with too great severity.

REFORM
DEMANDED
In Immigration Laws
of the Country
SAYS CeMMESSIOlER SARGENT
One Million immigrants Entered the
Country Last Year, Mostly
Undesirable Class.

Washington, d. C.-In the opinion
ri Frank P Sargent, commissioner of
3mmigration, it is high time for con-
greSS to materially amend the immi-
grafton laws in a way to effectually
a1hHok the overwhelming tide of in
discriminate foreigners who are flow
4nE into this country at the rate Of
over 100000 a month. And Mr.. Sar-
gent advances sound arguments in ia
10y Of such legislation. He makes the
bold statement that a majority Of the
Immigrants. who have no interest in
America as a country, have no respect
TCr its laws, and no desire to better
thelr condition, are settling down in
She large cities, where they live in
filth and vice and contribute very
largely to the cost Of maintaining the
criminal courts and the almshOuses.
Prefer the Cities.
This statement would seem TO be
borne out by the June bulletin of the
New York state department of labor,
which shows that Of the 126.555 i'm
migrants who arrived at the port of
New York in the first three months
ii the present year 55.616 expressed
their Intention Of making their homes
IN New York city. and 81 500 an
1punCed Philadelphia as their desti-
nation. The western states. where
there is an unprecedented demand for
Tabor, and the southern states. where
she phenomenal development of nat
uraI resources offers employment for
thousands, received not over 5000 out
DI The entire number Of imm Migrants.
Not Seeking Employment.
Mr. Sargent maintains that the ma
2orIty Of foreigners who are entering
our ports are not in search of legiti-
mate employment, and are not supply
8nS the ever-lnCreaSing demand fol-
taborers. They prefer to peddIe, dea
IN punk, operate street organs, and
engage in such occupations. They
swell the already over crowded tene-
ment districts, and very materially
swell the criminal and pauper classes
All OF these conditions can be sub
Stimulated by statements of actua
cases, and it is the intention of the
commissioner to again call this grea1
question to the attention of congress
When the immigration bill wa:
passed at the last session of congress;
IT was shorn of its vital points: the
reas new and improved legislation haC
10 be sacrificed in order to pass tn,
bill.
prominent senators insisted tina
the interests Of the country demande,

Sald that foreign labor was necessar,
80 develop mines, TO build railroads
anu 10 carry on a number of enter
2rlses, insisting that American Ia
oorers would not engage in sucl
work. Statistics gathered by govern
ment officials fail to sustain thi
claim, but on the other hand tend t,
show, as stated by COMMISSIONS
Sargent, that the immigrants are hud
ding together in the overcrowde
cities, and are not seeking legitimat
employment in the mines, on the rail
roads and on the farms.
Powerful Lobby.
There has always been a most DOW
erful lobby against the passage q
destructive immigration legislation

President Mitchell Says Adjust
ment of Differences Is Like
Spring House Cleaning
NO MORE TROUBLE THAN USUAL
Says the Reason For Labor and All Its
Trouble Attracting SO Much Atten-
ton at Present Is on Account of the
Growth of Trades unionism-Etfect
on Capital.

New York, May 2s.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
of America, says he does not think the
labor disturbances at present disturb
ing the country from ocean to acean,
would continue after the end Of this
month.
THE strikes ana differences in gem
erai between employees and employers
are but temporary in my opinion said
he. They are no greater this year
than they have been in former times.
Turnout the month of April and the
first of May, in fact, is the time for the
renewal of contracts and the adjust
ment OF whatever differences have
grown UP during the year. 1t is sort
of summer house cleaning. AS l have
said before the difficulties presented
this year are no greater than they have
been in the past.
The reason labor is attracting SO
much attention at present is on ac-
count of the growth of trades unionism.
That organized labor has become il
factor in the worlds system of econ
omy is evident, and society must figure
on 1t in all its evolutions.
"On the other hand the formation of
the trusts. the policy of merging and
forming great combines of capital are
developments of the past two or three
years, and where capital never met with
public attention before, its smallest
move is now observed. AS labor organ
izations affect capital more than any
other thing in the universe, they also
come into the glare of the limelight.
There is no more trouble now be-
tween employer and employe than there
has been i'll the past, nor or conditions
any more serious, but the people are
up with the times and that is why they
watch every move

Union Pacific Answers.

Washington, May 23.-The Union
Pacific railroad has filed with the in
terstate commerce commission its an
sWer to the order Of tie commission
|instituting an investigation of alleged
rebates of the Union Pacific to eleva-
vators. The Union Pacific admits that
lit has an agreement with the Midland
Elevator Company at Kansas City and
the Omaha Elevator Company at Coun-
eli Bluffs, both companies being repre-
sentatives of Peavey & Co., under the
terms of which agreements the Union
Pacific pays IL cents per 100 pounds
for receiving, transferring and handling
all grain which passes thru these ele-
vators. The Union Pacific says these
elevators are absolutely necessary to
the economical and profitable handling
of its grain business and that instead
Of building and operating the elevators
l. arranged with the representatives OF
the Peavey concern to construct and
operate them and furnish the necessary
facilities for handling a, grain shipped
over and consigned to the Union Pa
cific lines. The road denies that the al
lowance so paid is excessive or greater
than similar charges generally imposed
for like services, nor that 1T subjected
other grain shippers to unjust rates.
nor that it discrtminates in favor of
the Peavey company nor enables the
latter to obtain transportation of their
grain at net rates or charges less than
the regular tariffs. The road says the
interstate commerce law is not being
violated and asks that the proceedings
be dismissed.

BRYAN BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
To Nominate Grover, He Says, Is to
Woo Disa stcr,


Lincoln. Neb., May 23.-Demoraliza
ton and disgrace Will be the portion OF
the democratic party If Mr.. Cleveland
should be nominated. is the opinion
vouchsafed by Mr.. Bryan in a page
editorial in which he analyses 1.-THE
Lesson of 1904" He said:
THE organizers assert that to win
is the important thing. but upon this
low plane of discussion the Commoner
is prepared to show that the Cleveland
izing of the democratic party would
mean complete disaster rather than
victory. A victory that would betray
the people as they were betrayed by
the victory of 1892 would be more dis
astrous than defeat, because it would
weaken it for future contests"
Mr.. Bryan proved by figures that the
congressional elections of 1904 showed
a republican popular majority twice as
large as in 1896. pointing out that New
York and New England were most en-
phatic in repudiating Clevelandism.
He asks:
How can Cleveland's helping the re-
pubiicans in 1898 help him in prefer
ence to a republican who agrees with
them on every point? Would demo-
Gratis feel more kindly to him?
Mr.. Cleveland left the party demor-
allied and disgraced by his record.
Even as a matter of expectancy, the
party cannot afford to travel again
the road between 1892 and 1896"

head from San Francisco and $500 per
head from Seattle when subssted by
the companies. and $50 and $75 respect
