DIVORCES STILL
IN ASCENDANT
New Suits Filed Yesterday Turned
the ScaIe-PIaintiffs in All
Cases but One Are
Women

Marriage licenses issued Saturday. s....
Divorce DEGREES granted Saturday.
Divorce suits filed Saturday. ...........
While Cupid piled his vocation Of
welding hearts on sthe ground floor in
the court house yesterday the god Of
discomfort also played havoc, and the
story of worn-out affection was told in
the court rooms above.
By II o'clock in the morning, an
hour after the converting OF the several
departments of the superior courts,
nine couples whose hearts. We're once
filled with happiness were legally sep
arated while an hour longer was taken
to establish as many new families by
the marriage license bureau
Besides the divorces granted two
were filed in the county clerks office,
thus tipping the scales downward on
the side of domestic infelicity.
AS In the majority of cases in which
separation is sought, the DEGREES grant
ed yesterday were on the ground of de-
sertion, and one story can be taken as
a criterion of all.
Mrs. Matte e. Settles told the court
her husband, James e. Settles, an in
surance man, deserted her in April,
1906, going away ostensibly on a bust
ness trip and failing to return. NO
reason, she said, was given by Settles
for his desertion. She learned some
months after his departure that he was
living in Oakland and received no re-
ply to letter urging him to come back.
Later, Mrs. Settles said, she discov-
cred Settles was living with another
woman in Spokane and representing
her as his wife. In 1904, the wire testi-
fed. her husband sent her to Calitor-
mia from the east and did not join her
for a year.
other divorces granted were as fol-
lows: Inez H. Chess from Louis +.
Chess: Caroline Wagner from george
Wagner; Florence Maude from Cnaries
L. Maude; Kallierin Cornell from X.
G. Cornell; Almira Tuttle from James
futile; Nellie Rogers from James =.
Rogers; Anna Isaacson from Rams
Isaacson, and Jessie /. Harris from D.
H. Harris.
The suits filed were those OF X. A.
Hagenbaugh against Gertrude M. Ha-
genbaugh and Cornelia M. Biowen
AGAINST Augustus M. Bidwell.
The plaintiffs in all cases except one
are women.

WORKMEN AND THE TARIFF.
Hard Times Give Chance to Inquire
Where They Come In.


AS these are times of enforced lei
sure among workingmen, 1t might be
well If they should devote some atten-
ton to the tariff
There can be no doubt that certain
manufacturers are benefited by the
scheme of tariff protection. They
know exactly how much they are get
ting. The cost Of production is SO
much. The product is sold at so much.
The difference is the profit So at the
end of the year one manufacturer
finds his profit has been S1,000,000,
another finds that he has cleaned up
100000, and so on UP the scale until
we come to the United States Steel
corporation, the net earnings of which
Standard Oil company, the tobacco
trust, the beef trust, the lumber trust,
the smelter trust, the sugar trust and
the leather trust all of them monsters
In size and monsters in financial
strength. All of these are familiar
with the operations of the tariff. All
OF them know so we'll how much they
are getting out of 1t that they are Of
one mind regarding it, and that is if
1t Is "tinkered" with at all it must be
revised upward.
But what of the other class-the
working class? Where do they come
in on the tariff? 1t is estimated that
at least 100000 men are out of work.
while there are as many more who are
working half time on less than half
time. The tariff is not finding any
jobs for them. The tariff is not put
ting anything in their dinner buckets.
They have been deserted by the tariff
at q time they most need protection.
They have been left to provide for lit
tie ones by appeals to charity. They
have been left to the mercy Of ''the
pirates of business" as Senator Bev
eridge described the trust magnates.
Though the protective tariff is claimed
TO have been conceived as a means
of providing "a full days work at
full days pay" for the workingnan, 1t
has completely gone out of business so
far as the great mass of workingmen
Is concerned. The protection they
were assured would give them STEADY
employment at living wage" witness
es them in fdlenesS and want. 1t
would seem about time for working
men to awake to the criminality of the
protective tariff The evidence is over
whelming that it is not only not their
friend, but their merciless enemy. 1t
not only does not guarantee them good
wages and steady employment, but 1t
robs them of large part of the wages
they do earn, bad times or good times.
1t works for the interest of but one
clasS-the manufacturing ciass-the
class composed of millionaires, multi
millionaires and the near billionaires.
The power of this class is growing by
leaps and bounds Every day IL In
