Women have had that right under

COUNTESS DECLARES EARL WAS
MARRIED At TIME OF
THEIR WEDDING

LONDON. Jan. 31.-The special cor
respondent of the United Press is in
formed on high authority that the
Countess of Yarmouth. formerly Alice
Thaw of Pittsburg, will base her di-
vorce suit against her husband on the
ground that he was married at the
time he went through the marriage
ceremony with her in Pittsburg and
that he is physically unsound.
People who are familiar with the
facts believe that she will have no
difficulty in proving her charges.
1t is known that the earl underwent
the Scottish marriage ceremony with
an actress ten years ago, the two
simply declaring themselves married
as is valid in that country
They afterwards separated by mu-
tual consent. The woman died i'm Paris
some years ago.
The case will be bitterly contested,
the earl having employed several Of
the best barristers in England to care
for his interests. If he loses the suit
he will again be poverty stricken.

Certain wealthy men. whose con-
duct should be abhOrred by every man
of ordinary conscience commit the
wrong of teaching our young men that
phenomenal success must be based on
dishonesty have during the last few
months made it apparent that they
have banded together for reaction.
From the railroad rate law to the
pure food law, every measure for
honesty in business that has been
passed during the last six years has
been opposed by these men and every
resource bitter and unscrupulous they
could suggest has been used against
our policy.
Much has been said in these at
tacks about the rights of innocent
stock holders'' That the stockholder
is not innocent who voluntarily pur-
chases stock in a corporation whose
methods and management he knows
to be corrupt and stock holders are
