The Cairo bulletin., 1908-07-20

Various comment has been made By
exchanges and individuals, upon the
recent change in The Bulletins polit
zeal attitude. Some of these com
ments have been sorrowful, some bit
ter some mean, some humorous. The
Bulletin has paid little attention 10
them thus far II has a profound re-
spect for those of its old-time friends.
Democrats of the old school, who
revere the name of the old party as
they do that of their mothers; men
who have read the paper for forty
years, and though II has not always
been what they thought il should have
been, have yet stood by 1t for the
sake OF "Auld Lang Sine" WhateYer
words of criticism these old-time
friends may chose 10 utter will be
received without resentment, for they
have earned from The Bulletin the
right to have their feelings and their
judgments and criticisms respected.
But the members of the fraternity
who are INDUCING themselves in
mean little Rings or tlippant railery
have no such claim to consideration
and The Bulletin doesn't care two
hurrahs in the bad place whether
they like It's course or not This

FINE ITALIAN HAND TURNS
zWOMAN'S VANITY INTO GREAT
POWER TO RECLAIM CRIMINALS

Rome has model prison for female
criminals, the inmates of which hold
the record in Italy for good behavior
and resulting reduction of time and
the director, Cadalso, says it Is AL due
to the Introduction of coquettish prts-
on uniforms rendered as prizes to the
inmates.
Cadaiso had noticed that converse
ton among his prisoners dealt almost
exclusively with matters of fashion
Women and girls, who had been lock-
ed up for months and years, dis
cussed the shape of bonnets and the
cut of waists and blouSes with as
much eagerness as if they expected
to lay in stock of new clothes. New
corners were assiduously interviewed
as to novelties in the millinery or
dress line Even '1ifers" seemed to
have lost not a particle of interest in
the modes their fortunate sisters en-
joyed.

THE COST OF rivoRce.
New York Tfsbunl
) ~~~~~~~~>>~>>~s

Moraiists still wrangle over the he
dOnic status OF divorce; some say it is
luxury; while others are positive
that it is necessity. But. whatever
the outcome of this controversy, one
fact is already obyious-that the cost
OF divorce is exorbitant and must be
greatly reduced If this country is to
remain the Land OF the Free and the
Cradle of Democracy. q pathetic case
lately recorded in the chronicles of
Jersey City brings home to us this Ia
mentable lapse from perfect liberty. A
Newark couple. having been welded
fourteen months, set out on hunt for
bargain sale in divorce DEGREES
Ihey first consulted Jersey City JUS
uce, who told the pair the bitter truth
namely, that lawyer must be called
IN and an Indebtedness of at least $3.50
incurred ere the bonds of matrimony
would snap. I'VE won't give more THAI
$40 for the job" the divorce seekers
are said to have exclaimed. IF we
can't get a decree for that well stay
married" After being Treasured that
$3.50 was really the bottom quotation.
they went away with the resolution to
remain together until death should
them part. What friend of the people
does not feel his Indignation rise as
he reads this tale? What a travesty
upon justice it is to order a common
wealth SO that married couple must
get $3.50 worth OF discomfort out of
wedlock before divorce becomes a
good business proposition! It matters
not whether divorce be luxury or a
necessity; so long as the pleasure is
under government ownership and dis
pensed by the sovereign people
through their courts it should be
placed within the reach of every cit
1zen. Humble husbands and wives who
think that dissolution Of the marriage
contract is worth $40 to them should
have fair chance along with the null
who is willing to spend
a fortune in order to get rid of his
wife. Unless this is done, the impress
sion Will soon be created that divorce
Is pastime for the few, not for the |
many. And this thought is repugnant
to every high-minded statesman who |
has helped draft American divorce
laws.

600 1ackies standing at their decl

ear drums with their ''era-a-a-ns
cra-a-a-ng cr-a-ang,' the American
fleet swept into Rio harbor. The
three thousand miles run from TRIM
dad had been accomplished with but
one untoward event.
When the fleet swerved around
Cape Rogue and was beating down or
the final leg of its imposing journey
to the Horn, the currents began -'tc
make us play things" The clay OF
the currents" was Thursday Of last
week. And that day the currents
lost US 200 miles Of Roadway and car
ried US Cor the first time from, ou1
course. There were head currents
lateral currents. slant currents, every
current ever known to any sea dog
under those or any other name. We
fought them that Thursday from
Parahyba south to Pernambuco.
Next day, of course, the fleet was
sweeping on again finely, but the
day of the currents will be remem-
bered by every man jack of US to
the end of this voyage, and back.
No American fleet, since the days
they came back to us from their
Spanish triumphs, ever received a
bigger ovation than we got in Rio
harbor Thursday. Most Of Us didn't
know there was as many steamers
In the Sub-eauatorial Atlantic as sail
ed out to greet us.
Twenty miles north of the harbor
mouth while still we sailed south
ward a cruiser and two gunboats, fly
ing the Brazilian flag, came out to
bring Brazirs first welcome to the
visitors.
AS soon as they hove in sight
there opened up deal of gun fire,
which we answered sedately, never
stopping in our steady sweep toward
port. The Brazilian vessels put
about and ranging themselves along
side the flagship, came on with us as
escort
At the harbor mouth no less than
a thousand color-streaming, gun
hanging smaller craft awaited us.
They lay lined along the gateway.
with high promOtories looking up on
either side and Their people made
pretty spectacle, growing frantic in
their enthusiasm at our coming. AS
we fled in slowly to the bay that
makes the harbor, they turned too,
and bore US company, waving Amer

and yelling a Brazil an welcome at
