SECRECY pRovokEs DIVORCE
Views Of a Washington Justice on a
System Useful to the Rich

Washington, Nov. 14.-Open hear
ings in divorces whenever that is pos
sible is the plan that Justice Thomas
II. Anderson of the Supreme Court
District of Columbia would have in
troduced to prevent the breaking up
of families. The sealing" of the pa
pers and the evidence in cases he re-
CARDS as the greatest provocative of
divorce suits. Under the present sys-
tenn, he contends, the yoke of matri-
mony may be cast off with much
greater ease than 1t is assumed.
Justice Anderson's criticism was in
spired by the announcement of the de-
cision in the Astor divorce case in
New York and the added information
that the evidence had been sealed by
the court. His position, he pointed
out, would be modified in cases when
the parties brought charges that could
not be substantiated, or which were
unfit for publication. In the first case
said the jurist, an amicable settle
ment was not only possible but prob
able and the publication of such ru-
mors against either the husband or
wife would work to their future dis.

PARADISE FOR SUFFRAGISTS
A Little Corner Of the Sahara Desert
Where Feminsm Is in
Full Swing.

A French explorer just returned
from Africa has addressed an open
letter to Mile Laloe and to the woman
doctor Nine. Pelletier, the great advo-
Gates of woman's rights advising them
to leave at once for the Sahara, or
rather to that district inhabited by the
tribe called Tuaregs.
The Tuaregs. says the explorer, are
crafty, cruel and treacherous, but they
are ardent apostles of feminism The
Tuareg women are indeed privileged
beings. They have camels of their
own, which their husbands are not al
lowed to mount, and their household
duties are, so to say, nil
They are allowed to have an ad-
mirer who saddles their camels and
runs errands for them. According to
the Gentlewoman, the attitude of this
adlircr must remain strictly platonic
or If re starts making love to the
l267 tie husband flies into a temper,
and an angry Tuareg becomes a dan
gerous creature.
According to the laws of the coun-
try the Tuareg woman need not fol-
low her husband unless she wants to
do so, nor is she compelled to serve
her spouse. She is educated, for she
can read, and this accomplishment,
not shared by the other six, gives her
a privileged position in so far that she
acts as Judge or arbitrator in all diff
cult cases.

union that the court had effected.
Justice Anderson declared that the
suppression of evidence makes div
orce easy for those who have money
and CALLING for those who are poor.
The laws of the District of Columbia
he pointed out, drew no line between
the classes. Except for Tit reasons
stated no evidence in divorce case
ever was suppressed there and should
not be elsewhere.

Washington Work for Architects.

Editor The Washington Herald:
II seems q little strange that the com
mission Of architects for the Improvement
Of Washington should desire 10 place
practically every new public structure Of
Importance on low ground. reclaimed from
swamp land.
They would have all the rev public
buildings placed there, even If the foUn-
dations could scarcely reach a permanent
bottom, OF even if conditions for sewer
age are the slOwest and worst in town.
How fortunate II was that this commits
sion did not have the placing Of our
Capitol.
Now they want also to place our most
important memorial statues there They
evidently cannot get out Of the bOgs
They succeeded in placing the Grant
memorial under the Capitol, and now
want the Lincoln memorial 20 be on
ground equally low.
OF course. low land is admirable for
garden effects. Trees and shrubs viii
grow there like weeds. and small statues
fit in extremely well. but when It comes

CITY and Counties.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The Baltimore sun has inaugurated a
controversy. in this state. between Balti-
more city and the counties.
The Sun IS seeking 10 induce the next
legislature 20 submit an amendment 10
the State constitution 10 increase the rep
rosentatIon Of Baltimore city in the leg
isiature- On this subject, OF course. all
the other Baltimore city papers follow
the lead Of the sun.
Almost every day. for some time. the
sun has had a leading editorial On this
subject, and IN which It has treated the
subject IN an unfair and misleading light.
In view OF this situation. / hope I am
not asking too much Of The Washington
Herald 10 give US a hearing through its
columns The washington Herald. of
course. Is not interested IN this contro-
veTsy. but II has great many readers
and patrons in Maryland, especially in
Western Maryland.

It VIII confer a great favor on the people
Of the counties. and do a simple act of
justice.
IN the first place. permit me 70 say that
we are very unfortunate IN having but
one large city in our state. Half OF our
population is concentrated IN Baltimore
city
There are twenty-seven Senators in
Maryland, Baltimore city Is entitle 10
four oct Of this number There are I0l
members OF the house or delegates. Baiti-
more city Is entitle 20 twenty-four out Of
this number. This IS tie result Of an
Increase by q constitutional amendment

umorc is now clamorinE for another IN

one great objection 20 giving Baltimore
representation according 90 population
and wealth is because members Of the
assembly from that city. representing a
solidarity Of interests. VIII stand together
whenever they can get anything advan-
tageous 20 those interests. On the other
hand, the counties, having diverse inter
ests. are rarely if ever. united
So far as the claim that Baltimore pays
more taxes for state purposes. in proper
ton 10 wealth and population. than the
counties IS concerned. q is absolutely not
true as 10 this county; and I doubt Il il
is true as 20 aay other county in the
State.
The state expends IN this county less
than s. per cent Of the amount she takes
out Of II in taxes. The state pays back
10 Baltimore city more than - per cent
or all she receives from her citizens. and
this does not tell the whole story.
