Women
to Blame
Largely RESPONSE
BILE for the Di.
vOrCe Evil
By ANTHONY COMSTOCK.
Secretary of Society for Suppression of Vice.

Why are there so many divorces, so many UNI
happy marriages here in New York and elsewhere?
I'll tell you why. It's the system Of things. New
York women, and everywhere else in the coun-
try, too, have only themselves to blame There are
plenty of men who treat their wives like brutes to be
sure but there is another side to the question.
People do not wed nowadays-a great many of
them-from the holier standpoints of absolute love
for another. They marry for position; they mar
ry for money. After while life with this kind OF
partner becomes irksome. "Whatsoever man SOW
eth that shall he also reap And the harvest from

ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. S-The house
had a warm debate in committee OF
the whole today on the bill to create
an additional judge in the Fifteenth
judicial district, which comprises a
number of northern Minnesota coun-
ties. The committee finally voted to
recommend the bill for passage. This
was the test which doubtless means
passed by the house when reached in
its regular order on the calendar.
The house also spent considerable
time today arguing the Mork bill,
which proposes to prohibit minors
from playing games in bowling and
pool alleys and rooms. Selb of st.
Paul and Lennon Of Minneapolis led
in fight not to prohibit boys from
the enjoyment of bowling in alleys
which are not run in connection with
saloons. Morll, Nolan and others con-
tended that the influence of bowling
and pool halls is too injurious to min
ors to permit them to be their patrons.
A motion to indefinitely postpone the
bill, made by Lennon, was eventually
withdrawn and on the request of Mr..
Mork the bill was laid over for the
day without being definitely acted
upon.
This afternoon the special commit
tee to investigate the alleged political
corruption of the state labor bureau
was named, and at once held it's first
meeting; John Lennon, chairman; r.
]. Wells, Burdette Thayer, Alex Nc
Neill and John O'Brien. The commit
tee authorized its chairman to sub
poena any witnesses he deemed nee
essary, and call for such books and
exhibits as he desired. Messrs. Wells
and Thayer were appointed attorneys
to conduct the examination. w. H.
Williams of Minneapolis, former labor
commissioner and the man who made
the sensational charges to the legis.
lature, will be one of the first wit

Bills introduced in the house today
included: BY Sawyer, to create a
state fund for retirement of teachers;
by l.. H. Johnson, to establish a state
employment bureau for teachers; by
Allen, to create department of bank

strated that book agents are now busy
at Winona, Mimi, trying to dictate
who shall be elected superintendent
of schools there to succeed Mr.. Fra
zicr, who recently resigned to become
assistant superintendent of public in
siruction. 1t was also intimated at
tie meeting that a resolution intro
duced in the state high school board
calling for a reprimand to be admin
istered to High School Inspector G. Is.
Alton was instigated by the so-called
hook trust Alton had recommended
certain algebras to town, on request
The agent of one of these algebras
had happened along the next day and
sold the books. Alton denied to the
committee any knowledge of the
agent being in the vicinity. 1t was in
timated that the school book trust was
much put out that it did not get a
chance to sell the books, and hence
saw to it that Alton got reprimand.
A number of important bills were
introduced today, following which
both houses adjourned till Monday. In
the senate, Calhoun introduced bill
to entirely repeal the primary election
law. Cooke introduced somewhat
similar measure, that repeats the same
law except so far as st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth are concerned.
Thorpe presented a bill to establish
separate state department of bank ex-
aminer. at $4,000 salary a year, the
occupant to be a banker of five years
experience. eastman had a bill to
make telephone companies common
carriers. McColl asked for an addi-
tional district Judge for st. Paul.
Glotzbach wanted an appropriation of
s71 600 for a new auditorium building
for the Faribault school for deaf.
In the house, Sawyer declared war

bill declaring that they shall not be
recognized as legal from this date on.
Dorsey had a bill demanding that
merchants in reporting their taxation
assessments be also compelled to re-
rort the amount of insurance they car

To Patrons of the Monroe Cit,
Public Schools:


We are sending you this week the
first monthly report of the pupils
in the grades The High School
reports will be out the last of this
month the end of the first quarter.
1t has been the aim in preparing
these reports in their present form
to give you information as to what
and how your children are doing
rather than what grades they are
making. We shall aim to be truth
full and fair in all these reports.
Let me urge that you invariably
read and sign them. If a report
does not please you your signature
will not put your stamp of approx
al upon the report, but will inform
the teacher that you have ex-
amined it.
The Honor Roll in the grades
for the month of September is
given below. The conditions for
being mentioned on the Honor Roll
this year are such that every ener-
getic and ambitious pupil has an
opportunity to have his name ap-
pear on the roll. To be on the
Honor Roll a pupil must 1) be
present day; (2) not be tardy dur
ing the month; (3) be excellent in
conduct at school; (4) put forth an
honest and Conscientious effort, and
do the best work of which he or
she is capable without unreasonable
endeavor. What a pupil is and
what he is doing rather than how
bright he is determine his rank in
school, and will determine his sue
cess or failure in life.

Canton outweighed Monroe q
pounds to the man and Monroe no
only played good ball because il
played by the rules laid down
while Canton played by rules

and umpire Sharp was lenient witt

Monroe put the ball over thu
line and was pushed back. Th%
last halt of game was played id +
Canton's territory. Canton scoring

minutes of the game.
Canton having a few rules in it
head that are not to be found il
the book of rules caused Maferty
to dispute the umpires ruling and
that lead Maferty to call the uml (
lpire a s-of.a-b and at the same inI
stant struck the umpire in the facd
with a heavy nose guard. The umI
pire in self defense then strucl
Maferty twice with his fist before
cooler heads could interfere and
that prevented a general fred
for all.
Instead of leaving the city with
the team Maferty took the first
train west. Why bless his little
heart although he had insulted 9th,

as safe in Monroe as he would have
been in his own little trundle bed,

MRS. PERKINS IN PROMINENT
CHURCH.

The Second Baptist Church, Man
chester, Va, of which DR.. D. Web
ster Davis is pastor, was comfortably
filled with an appreciable and interest
ing audience that turned out to hear
Madam T. D. Perkins deliver one of
her most interesting lectures to wOm-
en- alone on How to Treat and Pre-
serve the Hair" Notwithstanding the
inclement weather, the church was
well nigh filled to its seating capacity.
Madam Perkins certainly did reveal
many secrets to the ladies relative to
the proper care of their hair and the
proper tonics to be used for its pre-
servation. Madam Perkins is an eX-
pert in the hair dressing and treat
ment profession. Her presence in
Richmond has been blessing to
of her customers and their friends,
and she has all that it is possible for
any one person to do in her particular
line. Mrs Perkins will for the next
two weeks be located in the city of
Manchester where she will open her
office for the benefit of the ladies of
that city at No. 1901 cambridge
street Her lecture was filled with
interest and knowledge of the head
and the hair of the race. She has the
promise of a good business during
her two weeks stay in Manchester.
All left the church with the name of
Madam Perkins on their lips.
