Better Stick to Republican Policy

Under Republican policy that has
produced revenue from internal tax
alton and Tariff on imports--this coun-
try has grown great and prosperous.
Isn't that policy a good enough one
TO stick to? Must Republican Con-
gress fall back upon a Democratic
policy? Must it plant itself on the
Denver platform regarding income
taxation?
Surely Republican Senators are learn
ing through the storm of telegraphic
protests that has decended upon
them that there is a widespread dis
trust of the Democratic measures that
they have been discussing during the
week.
Far better it would be to stand
squarely by good Republican doctrine.

ABOUT DIVORCE

Just learned from glancing over the
Census Bureaus statistics, that 1O.5
per cent. Of the divorces granted 10
men were for the cruelty of their
wives.
False" was the comment that ac-
companied the glare.
Serves em right" went with the
grim smile.
Whether the last was a note Of
sympathy for the men which achieved
membership In the ex-husbands' club
or for the women whose cruel treat
ment led to the legal change of con-
dition the suffragette did not say.
AS for the Census Bureau, that de-
partment of state is a soulless affair,
dealing only with facts and figures as
1t finds them, and it is no use abusing
the bureau for showing up American
men and women in such a poor mar
tial light before the world.
1t really is a sad story. though
Fancy the Census Bureau finding out
that the pathetic story of the de-
serted wife whose husband has gone
to parts unknown, leaving her to
slave for the home alone, is losing a
great deal of its force by reason of
the fact that more wives are desert
ing husbands than husbands are de-
sorting wives. The figures, cold and
convincing, compiled by reliable sta
tistics, can not be argued with; they
record the fact that of divorces OBJ
tanned by the American man for the
desertion of his wife the percentage
is 49.4, while the figures for the de-
sertion of the wife by the husband
are only 1876. Well may the militant
suffragette smile grimly. 1t looks as
though the American wife were be-
coming a more independent creature
than the American husband
