w. M. M'EWEN TALKED OF FOR
GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS.
Jurist Has Made = Study Of Underiy-
Ing Reasons for Marital Difficult
ties-opposed to Women

Chicago.-If Republicans on the
northwest side can bring it about,
Judge Willard M. McEwen will receive
the nomination for governor. Out

on support from an unusual source. In

iy philosophy and good advice enun-
ciated at every opportunity in the
patching up of family troubles are cer-
tain to have won him at least one ad-
vocate in every divorce suit.
While Judge McEwen has gained
most fame as lawyer. public prose-
cutor and jurist, his close acquaint-
ances say his practical philosophy is
the mainstay of his success and the
quality which will make him an ideal
state executive. 1t is this philosophy
learned on the farm, in the night
law school, the states attorneys Of
nee and on the bench-which has gain
ed him a reputation as one of the
great divorce judges of the country.
He has made study of the underly-
ing reasons for the appeal of men and
women for court relief in marital diff
ficulties.
The divorce court, he declares, is
an expression of the times. 1t shows
the drift of American civilization and
1t warns statesmen and churchmen
that they must devise some means to
develop more normal men and wom-
en- who can be satisfied to live con-
tentedly under more normal condi-
tions than the present time affords.
Conditions are abnormal when the
woman has to go from the home and
work to support herself and Others"
said Judge McEwen. "The prime duty
Of woman is motherhood and the care
Of the home. Man should be the pro-
WIDER, unless there is great emer-
gency by reason of his illness or other
incapacitation. AS soon as he allows the
woman to take his place and do the
work which supports him and his he
becomes abnormal and menace. The
husband who lonfs ought to be put in
Jail.
I'VE men are losing the respect of
women. Statistics compiled recently by
the bureau of commerce and labor
show that one woman in every five
women in the United States works.
That is an appalling proportion. 1t
shows both the reason and the result
of the popularity of divorce in this
country. Woman naturally looks down
on man when she works beside him
day by day. Her opinion of him is
lowered.

ANCIENT DuckINe STOOL.
Used for Punishment OF Scoiding
Women In Olden Times.

London.-At Leominster, in Here
fordshire, may still be seen speci'
men of the old-fashioned ducking-
stool which was used in the olden
times for the punishment of scolding
women. The culprit was placed in
the seat and taken to the river bank,
whence she was lowered into the wa
ter, apparently with the idea that
cold douche would cool her fiery
tongue. So late as 1909 a woman
named Jenny Pipes was paraded on
the ducking-stoo through the streets
of Leominster, and actually ducked
in the water near Kenwater bridge
by order of the magistrates. A sim
liar fate would have befallen Sarah
Leek eight years afterwards, but that
the water was too low. The Leomin-
ster stool was formerly kept in the
parish church. Similar stools were
to be seen in nearly every town, and
the old accounts often contained para
ticulars of money paid for the repair
of this instrument of torture. A news
paper of 1745 contains these interest
ing particulars: Last week a woman

itself in my mind; there was a certain
fascination and charm in it. We dis,

Theresa, and incidentally to me, but
we both sadly misjudged you"
Her tone, changing from amused in
difference to severest disdain, stung
me into self-pity for my stupidity in
having sought her. My anger was not
against her, but against Pickering, who
had, l persuaded myself, always
blocked my path. She went on.

Normal people have wholesome
respect for marriage. Normal people
will get married at church or at home,

stick. The people who contract them
are rarely found in the divorce court.
The idea of many people when they
get married that they easily can be
divorced if the venture does not prove
successful is altogether wrong. In
many cases separation and divorce is
the only reasonable thing to protect
husband and wife from one another.
