CoChise County Grass Widows

Frank Alley rushes into print
with stirring defense for the Ari-
zona grass widow, as follows:
There are fifty.four divorce cases
pending before the present term of
the district court, and they are
still piling in. A divorce case
which usually goes by default, can
be wedged in between the regular
docket proceedings at any time.
IL is no trouble to make a grass
widow at recess, two more just be-
fore dinner and half dozen more
after the jury has retired to delib-
crate 10 some standard case.
"When the court remarks to the
lady's counsel, prepare your de-
cree,' the liberated bundle of palpi
tating feminity goes tluttering to
the arms of husband No. 2, 3 or 1
as the case may be, They do not
have to leave the first floor; they
can turn abruptly into the Office
of the probate court, get the Gre
dentlals and have the ceremony
over with.
"She went up stairs a married
woman, she came down married
woman, although she may have
been the wife Of different men on
the two respective occasions. She
is not to be blamed because she re.
fuses to everlastingly glue up to Il
miserable hound with the vocabu-
larry of pirate and the breath of a
GiIa monster. If her biscuits do
not suit hun, let her find some fell
low they do suit.
"Of all rational propositions, the
average grass widow is most de-
slrable. If you had married her
first. she would have gone on
through life imagining that the
other fellow was the one romantic
love of her life. After she has
taken him, after his beastly con-
duct and infamous qualities have
totally disgusted and disillusioned
her silly dream, she is 10 frame
of mind to everlastingly appreciate
you. Treat her right and you will
have a prize. She will have no
regrets to harbor. She knows
f ON contrast and experience that
she has the right fellow. This
wide spread prejudice against
grass widows is the most founda-
tionless and unjust sentiment that
ever obtained among a civilized
people"

why SOCIALISM FAILS

No matter how much difference
there may be in the tomorrow Of
Socialism, 10 ITS today, when all il
shall be inaugurated as system
all things must be owned collect.
lively, and that means that the high
and the low come to common
level; the good and the bad start
even; the idle and the industrious
share and share alike; the illiterate
and the learned, the capable and
the incompetent, the fool and the
wise man, the virgin and the troll,
the negro and the white, all come
to the Universal Brotherhood pot,
and ladle out an equal porriDger-
ful of pottage.
Godl What a sordid, sickening
dead-level What an enforced
equalizing OF all men and all wo-
men, in a world where God never
made two grains of sand, two
leaves of the forest, two birds of
the air, two fish of the sea, two
beasts of the field exactly equal.
Only in a political sense can any
QUE even dream of two men being
equal, for our eyes, our common
sense, tell us that such thing as
equality in strength, capacity,
character, or IN the elements and
achievements Of manhood has no
existence among men.
Socialism proceeds upon the idea
that equality is there, or can be
put there; and the effort to prove
that the idea is correct has been
made time and again and again.
1t was not only tried among the
Ancients, but ii has been tried in
modern times and it was tried by
the colonists who first settled IN
North America.
Failure, dismal failure, has been
the result Of every experiment.
Why? Because human nature is
radically, etcrnally different from
what the Socialist assumes il to be,
If all were equal, and all were
good, Socialism would be un-
necessary, even from the stand
point of the Socialist
Give us absolute equality and
universal goodness and we don't
need anything but little time to
reach an equal distribution of
wealth and an cru Of Peace on

CLARK AND HEINzE.

United States senatorships from
Montana may eventually be quoted
on the stock exc hange if a dis.
patch from Butte is true. 1t is re-
ported there that +. Augustus
Heinze is to succeed William A,
Clark as senator from Montana,
this being one of the conditions OF
the peace which ended the copper
war betw cen the Clark and II Heinze
interests.
Heinze is admirably qualified to
succeed Clark. His fortune may
be few millions short of Clark's,
but he would still be the richest
man in the senate. He and Clark
were trained in the same school of
craftsmanship, which pays the
highest cash price and asks no
questions so long as the goods are
delivered. Practically the only
difference between them is that one
lives in Manhattan and the other
in Brooklyn.
Clark has already announced
that he will not be a candidate to
succeed himself, but can American
politics afford to lose its most gen
erous vote buyer, even when COM
pensated with Heinze? There is
still future for Clark, in spite of
the copper treaty. He owns valu
able mines in Arizona, and if the
statehood bill passes he can be a
candidate in the new state. His
qualifications ought to be as good
there as they are in Montana
New York World.

what the other members OF the negro
delegation from Washington had said

that the others had done-that his. wife

There was an ominous hint In which

whether Ashby should be asked to tes-
tify to things that might send his wife
to the penitentiary. The point was
made that the statement which Mrs.
Ashby is alleged to have made was
not confidential communication be-
tween husband and wife, but q boast
full declaration Of the wife in his pres
ence and in that Of others.
In cross-examination, q letter which
Ashby had written to Mrs. Hartje was
