During Year 1908

Approximately two hundred d.
vorce cases have been before the
courts Of the Territory during the
past year, and Of this number 100
have been heard by Judge Lindsay,
Second Judge OF the Circuit Court.
John Marcalliao, clerk Of this court,
has prepared a tabulated list of the
cases. which shows the cause for
which the divorce was asked. the ma
tionality and sex OF the petitioner.
Out of the 150 divorce cases that
have been heard before Judge Lind
say. l04 have been asked for by We
men and 46 by men. From this 1t
would appear that President Roose-
welt has more followers among those

against race suicide" than he has
among the fair sex. The Hawaiians
lead in the scramble for divorces,
with the Japanese applicants coming
In a close second,
Judge De Bolt has had approx
mately sixty-hve divorce cases before
his court this year. The following

10y THE EDIToRl

To an outsider floating around
among the men of the two camps
stirred to bitter excitement by the
shooting OF Prosecuting Officer Hen
ey, San Francisco appears to be a
city OF lawlessness all on account OF
too much law. Everyone thought
the limit was reached when Heney's
assaiiant was shot. Now comes the
disappearance OF Chief OF Police Big
gy. who was Haas guardian. &c.,.
No one doubts that Abe Ruef is
guilty Of looting the city and yet the
fight he Is making, aided by the
"hisher-ups." to keep out OF the PEN
ftentiary. has been so long that 9TH

aud yet in the midst Of the excite
ment that between daylight and
dark put every man into one camp
or the other, the graft Defense were
in the courts fighting to delay the
trial and again tire the people into
the same old lethargy.
There are no middle-of-the-road-
ers In San Francisco. A man Is eli.

No one seemed surprised when

has so much Of the bragadocio about
him. His friends know he has pre-

anyone. They cant finish the whole
job in a day or two as might be done
by marshaling the crowd that as
sembled ut the Dreamland Rink the

and going forth to settle the thing
then and there.
Law, order. and justice are the
tenets of the Prosecution faith. And
they are bound to stick to them. Ev-

III anyone doubted the sentiment
in support of the. good name Of San
Francisco, the prolonged cheers that
greeted the ttterances for a greater

That crowd was ready to do any
thing. II was made up Of determin-
ed men. They were excited. They
were mad. They had chafed under
the continued disgrace OF the city

ferent and some disguised. but the

down and had not yet let on their
pent-up feelings in cheers and groans
someone said few words that
brought Hearst and the Examiner to
the front. II was not pleasant to
listen to the response. Then was a
time when a little let-up of law and
order would have resulted In Exam
liner reporters being thrown out. as
a sort of side-show. Had any Of the
preliminaries gone wrong. the man.
ayers OF the meeting might have
found themselves with something on
their hands as unmanageable as the
Pinole powder works In a state Of
combustion.
Former Mayor Phelan in his
speech handled the situation without
gloves. Hc called spades spades and
spoke mems names. He repeated In
picturesque language the story Of
how Justice is fghting for q place
In the highest and in the minor
courts Of the State. He urged his
hearers not to buy the Examiner OF
the Globe or the "higher-up" week
lies; he urged the merchants not to
patronize those papers, and he urged
the people not to patronize the mer.
chants who patronized those papers
And the crowd cheered him to the
echo.
Incidentally, newspapermen claim.
ing to be in a position to know. say
that hundreds and thousands OF peo.
pie, are following the scheme that
Phelan outlined. They refuse tc
read the other side when they know
II is deliberately garbled.
In this connection II appears to m
outsider that an uncolored statement
Of facts in any San Francisco papei
is almost impossible while feeling IL
running SO high. More than one has
said that the outside cities served by
the Associated Press are the only
ones that contain a strictly news
statement of what is going on in the
graft cases. 49,.
Probably the most notable speech
Of the Dreamland Rink meeting was
the last made by Attorney Wheeler
who gave notice at the very outset
that he intended to call names and
speak straight out. In forceful Ian
guage he pointed out that Society OF
