Some More About Divorce

Look at day in a New York divorce court.
On the docket for hearing So cases. Interested
in the outcome of these 116 children. Those
who sued Indifferent to the outcome that
out of the 55 but defendant put in appearance In
the four hours in which the open II
heard by the Judge The time occupied in hearing each
averaged II minutes
You, who have happiness in your homes, who are we'll
mated and who have keen appreciation of the sanctity
of the marriage tie who believe that marriage and morals
must be synonymous scarcely appreciate the gravity
of the situation.
Mind you, in New York state, there is but one legal
cause for divorce.
Now do you get idea of the looseness Of the
riage bond in great city?
Days consumed by this nations government in the
gamis is not charged that he is personally degraded
but that he represents illegal and immoral idea, and
from all this broad land humanity's cry:
"THROW HIM OUT!'
The Mormon question is a burning question
But what of divorce courts where II minutes sufces
to investigate the affairs of family and egalzes sepa
ratonwhere the lawyers ask funny questions and the
witnesses make sort of vaudeville performance of the
whole thng-where it is unfnchingy stated that men
have deserted their homes and living openly with
men not their wives-where wives have left homes and
children and are living with not their husbands?
Wouldn't it that the time is ripe for more rigid
divorce legislation natonazed that the morals of
state will be the morals of another?
If marriage is to be joke in this country there can
be real and permanent national progress.

Good and Bad in us

is easy to pick out faults and hold them up to public
attenton-provded they exist in Others Our faults
are not easily perceived. We apt to regard some
people all good and others all bad.
Recently quaint old cpl gram has been revived and
given wide circuaton There much bad in the best
of and much good in the of that behooves
each of us to have charity for the rest of u.s.
In confirmation of this homely truth comes the asser-
ton of Judge Cowng of the New York court of general
sessions that in his q experience the BENCH sit
ting at the edge of the ceasng stream of crime and
vice and evil he has found in every to praise

to receive sentence and the of which they have
been accused included every act counted crime In the
penal code.
Certainly Judge Cowing has to be pessimist
if anyone has Yet he has patience with people who
all the time talking about the total depravy of
tain classes. He declares is not in accordance with the
truth There plenty of good in the worst and
men that come before him.
To lie to deceive to cheat is not the rule On the
trary people generally tell the truth and deal honestly
An overwhelming majority do so and each OF us
does in a overwhelming maority of instances.
1t is in the nature of man to tell the TRUTH to deal
honestly and to do what he deems to be right just it
is his nature to have physical health. Crime is to the
moral realm what disease is to the body.
We get better understanding of life by seeing good
and evil in the right perspective. 1t is pleasant and

once more to the voice of M. White.
In the days 1 have been in st.
Petersburg l have interviewed every
available person concerned in the
arrangement of terms with Japan. M.
Witte considers peace imperative.
He is prepared to grant much to
the enemy if only the war be brought
to a speedy termination. Unpala-
table as his advice is to the great
party about the car the grand dukes
realize his Importance when the sup
port of a strong man is needed. In
such times he molds the policy Of
Russia
Such a time Is now. and Russia is
prepared to make peace with its adj
versary quickly if only a means to
that end can be found. 1t Is true
that Viceroy Alexieff, the heads Of
the foreign department, the states
men intrusted with the policy Of
turn assured me peace at this juno
ture is impossible. In their position
they could not do otherwise.
In Moscow, however, every man Of
position is clamoring for peace,
peace at any price, peace by any
means. In st. Petersburg every man
from the car to the meanest moujik

| been bold enough to take upon him
self the odium of proposing peace

Action, however. must be taken.
and couriers have been sent to Paris
and to Rome. Count Benckendorff
has received his instructions. Berlin
has been approached, and peace has
stepped into the realm of practical
politics.
Terms are matters difficult to de-
fine, but it may be accepted as the
present opinion of Russia that peace
would be cheaply bought at the ex-
pense of Port Arthur and southern
Manchuria, If only the nation were
saved the indignity and material dis
advantage of indemnity.

the speculation had gone on to a
point from which there was no re-
turning there came a spectacle. This
spectacle consisted of placing legis-
lators from the county from which
has emanated most of the cry for a
commission in the position of-well,
as one of them expressed it: what
the devil can we do. They were so
hot for a commission that we had to
pledge ourselves or be pilloried. Now
that they have elected us some of
them want US to go back on our
promises. 1t Is just such situations
as this which tempts a man to break
his pledges. If we do it. we're
damned, and we don't we get the
same dose. And all of this has hap
pened since we came to Olympia"
o o o
1t would seem that a man who
leaves Spokane behind and HES him
self to Olympia to do work for the
state at large does not necessarily
cut loose from Spokane municipal
politics. Within the past few days
Representative Huxtable has received
letters from Charlie Hobart and
other friends in Spokane asking
Huxtable to take the field for council
man from the Fifth ward. The idea
is not repulsive to the representa-
tive, though he has not yet announc-
ed his candidacy. With a record of
attending to the business of the
lower house and not missing a roll
call, he has set an example which
would look real good to some of the
Spokane people who watch the pro-
ceedings on Tuesday nights on the
upper floor of the city hall.
o Q @
Apropos of the erection of the new
county of Benton out Of the east ends
of Yakima and Klickitat counties,
there is a little story worth repeat
ing, and the suspicion which has
been aroused. When the bill was
first introduced into the senate one
of the boosters from Prosser asked a
newspaper man who in thunder this
man Benton was for whom the new
county was u De Td1ltu. o1Tc a

of Thomas Fl. Benton, his Thirty
Years in Congress- and President

F! you come to pick that name?"
II did not choose the name,"" came
the reply. Ben Grosscup suggested
it."
Now the question is. 'Is the famil-
| lar name, Ben by which the North.

ST PETERSBURG, Feb. 14.-Far
more important than the matter of
riots in Russia is the arrangement
Of terms of peace with Japan. In
Russia are two great parties, led, re-
spectivcly, by the grand dukes and
by NJ. WHITE. The one Is the party
of war, the other is the party of
peace. NJ. Witte was removed from
his position as minister for finance
because the month of August, 1908,
when the first Japanese note arrived
in st. Petersburg he opposed the sug-
sestion of war. Associated with him
in his ideas was Count Lamsdorff,
the minister for foreign affairs.
Against them were the grand dukes.

Mention of the fact that Senator
Reed of Yakima county has not miss
ed roll call in the upper house at
this session has brought forth the
information that one of Spokanes
members of the lower house has been
equally faithful in his attendance
upon sessions and at the discussions
Of bills. This is Representative Hux-
table. and mention of his name re-
minds one of his plant that if he
turned the warm shoulder to Messrs.
Goodall and Comstock it was not be-
cause of any early or intimate associ-
alton with those gentlemen. The
correspondent of the Spokesman
Review had Huxtable listed as the
only one who gave the anti-railway
commission visitors any comfort.
The fact of the matter, according to
Mr. Huxtable, is that he had never
met the visitors until few mo-
ments before their departure after
having registered in vigorous terms
their disapproval of the commission
bill, as a menace to the interests Of
Spokane's jobbing and wholesale
trade.

The series of discussions of Mr..
Guion in The Press on the real effect
of a railway commission on Spokane
and her vital interests is felt wide
spread among the legislators. Some
say that the objection had come too
late; that Spokane had made a hobby
| of the commission matter and had
| acquired notorious reputation for
hugging the commission matter as a
cure-all of every i'll of the eastern
Washington farmer, of the Spokane
merchant, of the Spokane whatnot:
that the people had been educated
| to a position bordering on rabdity
What does Spokane really WANT"
was asked your correspondent and
then the questioner made answer to
his own question:: II believe that
the average man who has been howl
ing for commission has not known
what he was bowling about. He
wanted to howl, he has howled and
1 guess he will howl. And all the
time he has not thought out the
problem-simply taken another's
word"

One hears argument to the effect
that after the enactment of the
Crane-Dickson bill and the machin-
cry Of the commission gets into run
ming order, the question will not be
raised of class legislation. in that it
can be shown that the bill is in
reality one for the regulation of the
business of the Great Northern and
