As soon as the council has dealt with

agencies, which has been recommended
for pas age by the judiciary committee,
Alderman Bri tain will introduce an or
der directing the legislative committee OF
the council to prepare bill obstruetirg
divorce, for presentation to the state leg
islature. The principal points OF the
bill are: Flrst-It shall be unlawful to ile
q bill setting forth the causes for asking
q divorce until year after a simple plea
for divorce without psrticularizition hiss
been filed. This is intended 10 make 1t
impossible to have q hearing In divorce

any person to go to another state and
obtain divorce without residing in the
other state at least a year previous to the
granting of the decree. If such q
measure were to become a law decided
check would be put to this growing evil,

AS STATED in the Gazette of that dag
a decision was reached by the U. s.
Circuit Court of Appeals sitting at Ne"
York on Saturday that the American
Tobacco Company Is rally a trust and
1, operatsd 10 rest amt Of trade and 10
violation of the Sherman law. No pun
ishment was imposed or restriction made
against the continued operation OF the
trust at this time. The court decide
that receivership was unnecessary and
imp racticsble. The immediate effect oil
the decision will amount to nothing,
the court having suspended the issue oil
an Injunction pending an APPEAL to The
Supreme Court. Whether restraining
order will "bust" the trust remains TO
be seen after the Supreme Court shall
have pronounced its judgment. The e.
feet of the beef trust injunction has not

ing on this the Philadelphia RECORD
says:
Admonition is not a cure for, not even
a preventive of, criminal practices. II
a combination in restraint be crime,
and the law says it is, the pepa'ty must
be inflicted on somebody physically cap.
able of suffering punishment. Verbal
castigalions of soullesss corporations
serve no good purpose; and to fine a
monopoly is nothing more than to hne
the consumer of the monopolized article,
FIR the simple reason that the trust
merely adds the penalty to the selling
price of its product.

The highest court of Australia las
rendered decision invslidaiing one OF
the important laws passed in the in-
terost of organized labor, the party
which holds the balance of power in that
country. The unions had forced the
passage of law imposing sn internal
tax upon the output of the manufsclu-
ren of agricultural instruments. This
was designed 70 about counterbalsnce
the effect of the protective tariff, but
gave to all CONCERNS which paid the
union scale of wages an entire remission
of the tax. As the labor unions con-
trolled the parliament, they could remit
or impose the tax upon whatever BUSH
ness they saw fit, 50 that no business
which suits the unions could be put out
of the running. The court decided by a
vote of 3 to 2 that the new law was un-
constitutional on the theory that the
purpose of the law is to regulate wages
instta al of to levy tax or to ia'Se rev.

Boston, Now d 9. The spinster
school teachers Of Boston OF thirty aud
some Yeas were shocked today by the
news that DR.. Colin A, Scott, Of the
Boston Normal School, believes them
unft for their profession. In a lecture
last night DR.. Scott said:
ga woma an who has lived over 80 and
remains unmarried leads thereafter q
disappointed life. She cannot herself do
as good work as when she led life filled
with hope. Moreover, she loses GER
tain prestige with the pupils, and they
look upon her ss one to whom a rounded
life is denied. 1t is just that men
teachers should receive higher salary
than woman, because usually a man
takes up teaching with the intention OF
making it his life work and thoroughly
prepares for it; whereas very few women
anticipate ct the start that teaching
will be life work with them, and even
fewer bring a university education to the
work.
