Two kinds of divorce are allow

Two kinds of divorce are allow
ed in Circassia. BY the first the
divorced people are allowed 10 re

1t is said that among certain
tribes OF American Indians divorce
may be accomplished hy breaking
the pieces Of sticks given to the
witnesses at the marriage cerc-

An ancient custom among the
MOors was that If the wife did not
become the mother of a boy she
could be divorced with the consent
Of the tribe, and marry again at
once.

RoCkERFELLER's DEFENSE,

Mr.. Rokerfe Ter draws pathetic
picture of himself as the patient.
straining OK. chained by his millions
to his vast load of responsibilities.
He acknowledges that these re-
sponsibilltes were self-sought and
self-imposed. He denies that he has
had the lust of wealth for wealth S
sake. but rather that he has sought
the glory Of accomplishment. The
picture is one to draw tears from
every poverty blessed and conse-
quently care-free citizen.
Mr.. Rockefeller forgets that there
is glory in accomplishment, only when
it is achieved by honorable means.
1t is true that Mr.. Rockefeller has
carried heavy load of responsibility
to his employees and to his stock
holders but these did not lessen his
obligation to the public. to his honest
competitors. nor to the laws Of the
country which he would have US be-
lieve he deeply loves.
Just as Mr.. Rockefeller enters
denial of lust for mere wealth. So
we would enter denial that the
American people are envious of his
millions. There is no general desire
to strip him of his wealth. or to rob
him of the glory or accomplishment
gained by fair and honest methods.
There is a very general determine
ton. how ever. to compel even so
mighty man to obey the laws of
his country in spirit and in truth.
The height of success is but the
measure of his utter failure. AS
we'll might Robin Hood have made
excuse for his depredations on the
ground of his responsibility to this
band of Merrymen. as Mr.. Rocker
Teller offer the welfare of his stock
holders in extenuatlon for acts which
have been found criminal by we'll
nigh every court before which they
have been investigated. what shall
it profit a man if he gains the whole
world. and lose his soul?''

sinister at best, when stirred by his
wrath is fearsome exponent of fifty
years of southern prejudice and pro-
test. While portions OF his argument
found some favor ana applause, the
audience was but family sympathetic.
and it is tribute to the popular
recognition of the right of free speech
and fair hearing, lnat some of his
coarser utterances were allowed to
pass without demonstrations of dis
approval.
Tillman's statement that tde South

less true; but granting this we DO not

THE EDITORIAL MEETING

The meeting of the editors of North
western Iowa at Estherville last week
was the most interesting one we have
ever attended. 1t was made so by the
presence of two men. George E.
Roberts and George D. Perkins. The
former delivered lecture which it is
pleasure to share with our readers by
printing it in the Review next week.
We warn. them however, not to read
Fit unless they are prepared to think
and think hard. The lecture is SO full
of thought and of suggestion for
thought that it fairly hurts. 1t
gives one the same feeling that he
experiences when lying on the open
prairie gazing at the deep-set stars.
A feeling of the imnensity of the un-
iverse and the infinite smallness of
himself. We commend the lecture to
our thoughtful readers. To US it
was an inspiration and we believe it
will be to many others.
The life of the meeting was George
D. Perkins who hurried away from
the publication of the best daily west
of Chicago to give the humble
brethren of the weekly press the bene-
fit Of his wit and wisdom. His talk
on the Editorial Page" was not only
an oratorical gem. but was filled with
subtle wit and helpful suggestions
which cannot fail to be of benefit to
all who heard him. Throughout the
meeting Mr.. Perkins was a dynamo
that threw IF sparks of wit and good
fellowship and. through it all the
clean white soul of the man prevailed
as with benedictlon. Mr.. Perkins
is undoubtedly the greatest man on
the press of Iowa today. We hope
that it is true. as he says, that he has
forsaken politics for good. He is
too great a man to play the game.
He has a place in the hearts of the
reading people of the state that is
higher than any political honor that
could be bestowed upon him. and we
J hope that he will let his old time
sweetness of disposition hold sway in
his columns. that he will forgive and
forget the bitterness of factionallsm
and return to that poise Of mind and
Judgment which made him the great
leader Of the thought of Iowa.
Never before were we so impressed
with his great personality. 1t is ar
, honor to sit at his feet and distinc-
ton to be called his friend. If it be
! true. as he states. that generation
is governed more by its dead than by
its living leaders. we can assure him
! that his influence for good not only
; has been but will be felt, in Iowa for
m nv years.
We would not forget our humber
brothers of the press. who like our
} selves are confronted with many week.
W.. difficulties and whose ideals of
journalism are oftimes crowded to
the wall by sordid details. To be
with them adds to the stature of ones
manhood and confirms him in the be-
!, lief that many of Iowa's noblest men
are devoting the best that is in them
to the weekly papers of the state and
that the profession is one of which to
be proud.
Estherville is beautiful city. A
city of energy and pluck and rapid
growth. Its citizens were generous
