BEFORE the State Bar Association
Convention at Des Moines, Ia, last
week Judge William H. McHenry, OF
the Polk county district bench, caused a
sensation by advocating criminal pro-
elure as a remedy for the divorce evil.
Judge McHenry contends that the di-
vorce laws as they now stand are good
aud meet the emergency of social con-
ditions. They do not go far enough how
ever, be claims, in enforcing the union OF
people bound in holy wedlOck. Judge
McHenry has offered the suggestion that
there be placed on the statute books OF
Iowa law giving judges a right to sem
tence man who deserts his wife and
family to some workhOuse, and decree
that the earnings of the husband in that
institution be paid as temporary support
to the wife during the husbands incar-
ceration. This would be good law for
every State in the union and if cor
poral punishment clause were added it
would be Just that much better. Scant
consideration should be meeied out TO
men who desert their wives and children.

RESIGNATION OF Cabinet.

Stockholm, Sweden, July 25.-The
members of the Swedish cabinet handed
their designations to the King, today.
This action of the cabinet followed the
receipt of the report of the special COM
mittee of the Riksdag, to which the bill
proposed by the ministry providing for
the separation of Sweden and Norway,
had been referred. The report stated
that the bill is not acceptable. The
committee suggests that Norway should
be allowed to make the request for the
dissolution of the union through spec
tally elected Stor!hing or national par
lament, and urges that this course be
followed. The committee also recon-
mended that 100, 900, 600 kroners be set
apart for the use of the Swedish govern
ment for any eventuality which may
arise. Another important recommended
ton made by the committed of the Riks-
dag, is that all the notifications on the
southern frontiers of both Sweden and
Norway shall be razed.

TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 25. 1905.

In HIS letter TO the committee OF Tam
many Hall, on the occasion Of its recent
Independence Day meeting, Judge Al
ton b. Parker, the democratic Standard
bearer in the last national campaign,
pointed out that the opportunity OF the
democracy lay in maintaining its his
toric attitude of opposition to the undue
increase in the activities of government
or. as he expressed it, to over govern
ment. In Judge Parker's opinion one
of the grave perils of the time is the
tendency to regulate all sorts of private
business undertakings by governmental
authority. He says:
Because greed, left run to riot, has
produced some bad conditions in cities
and great corporations, we are advised
to run headloDg into municipal or gov
eminent ownership and operation. This
policy is advocated in spite of the fact
that, in other countries, and in surround
inps far more favorable for these expert
ments than our OVID, they have univer-
sally interfered with development and
have curbed initiative. In other words,
the only alternative thus presented for
the curbing of greed is that of rushing
wildly into all the perils of Overgovern-
ment.
Further on in his letter he says:
1t is incumbent upon us to recognize,
in the first place, that as the dangers
which confront us are not new, they
require nothing but the old respect for
law, demand for its rigid execution
and a recognition of those doctrines and
practices which fix unalterably the
limits of right and wrong. We do not
need to look for new cures for the old
diseases; we have only to apply the old
remedies in drastic doses.
While Judge Parker does not specify
10 50 many words the particular forms
of overgovernment which he has in
mind. il is evident shat his remarks that
two of them at least are the demands for
municipal ownership and for the fixing
of railroad rates by federal authority.
There is no doubt that the regulation OF
railway rates by foreign governments has
"curbed initiative" and prevented the
development of railway systems, as he
suggested, and it also has had the effect
of keeping up the rates of transportation
instead of reducing them, so that in every
country in which rates are fixed by gov
eminent authority they are from two to
three times as high as in the United
States, where commercial conditions are
the controlling factor AS Judge Par
ker maintains, there are remedies for the
real abuses OF our transportation system
in existing lawsi and what is needed is
rigid and systematic enforcement OF these
laws rather than new legislation con-
tanning socialistic features, such as the
fixing of the price OF transportation by
governmental decree.

The Case Against Editor Williams.

The rrmor that Alfred B. Williams,
editor of the Richmond News-Leader,
would be indicted by the grand jury for
using money illegally in the late primary,
has created sensation in that city.
Mr.. Williams has been an earnest adj
vocate of purity in elections, and pub
lished, previous to the late primary, a
series of striking articles addressed to
"Mr Good Citizen" that created
much comment, and this rumor, though
widely circulated, was not credited by
many.
Mr.. Williams, however, in a card to
the public yesterday anticipated the ac-
ton Of the grand jury by publishing the
details of the transaction.
He agreed with ward worker to pay
$50 if he could influence the votes in a
precinct for Col. George Wayne Ander-
son, candidate for Commonwealth At
torney. This was done without Colonel
Anderson's knowledge.
Mr.. Williams paid the sum with his
individual check after the election, the
precinct having been carried for Ander-
son.
Mr.. Williams stands on his ights as a
citizen to aid a friend, and declares he
did the act openly and believes he did
nothing wrong and is willing to bear the
consequences. Samuel GOldstein, work
er in the STRENGTHENING department, re-
ceived the money. He is brother OF
one of the election officials in the pre-
cinct referred to.
The Barksdale pure election law is spe'
cifc on the point of others using money
in an election to influence voter for a
candidate, and even Mr.. Williams best
friends regard his act as serious indis-
cretion. The law provides fine from
800 to 81 ZOO or, at the discretion OF
the jury, 80 days in Jail.
The grand jury yesterday requested
Judge Witt to have summoned every
voter oS the third precint of Monroe ward,
in which crookedness is charged. 1t is
declared, however, that the ballot being
a secret one, not even the grandjury can
require a voter to testify as to how he
voted.
