The Increase in Divorce
Some Thoughts by DR.. Ross.

DR.. Edward A. Ross of the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin, who is an un-
commonly keen student of sociology,
with an uncommonly vivid faculty of
expressing his conclusions, says that
the increase in divorce in this country,
alarming though it is, is not due to
deterioration in the moral fibre of the
people.
He finds more fruitful source of
divorce in the growing economic in
dependence of women, and in the
disappearance of old household
economic conditions. The idea seems
to be that in other days, when women
were limited practically to house
keeping as means of livelihood, they
had to put up with good deal from
recreant husbands because there was
no way out of it. Now they can go to
work and earn their own livings, so
when domestic conditions become I'M
bearable they simply pack up and get
out, and a divorce follows. More
over, the wife is no longer the
economic partner, to be priced as
such, but rather a luxury, to be
supported by the husband.
The present rate of increase of
divorces in this country is, as many
statistician has shown, little short
of appalling. DR.. Ross shows that at
present probably one marriage in

''The governor" says the Winona
Independent, is accused OF doing the
expedient thing in vetoing the tonnage
tax bill, and indeed he did. Abraham
Lincoln was just such another in the
DRY ana in practice, and our gener-
alton looks upon Abraham Lincoln as
the greatest man America has pro-
duced. God give US more such men
who are not afraid to brave the taunts
of fire-eating demag who would
rather see justice wait than that the
innocent should suffer with the guilty.
If Governor Johnson had listened to
the voice of the tempter, it would have
been much easier for him to have
given slap at his arch enemy, the
steel trust, than to have done as he
did. Each of the many indignities he
suffered at the hands of the emissaries
of the steel magnates doubtless cried
out for vengeance, but he put them
aside and acted the part of the states
man rather than that of the petty poll
tician. All honor to such q man, and
shame be upon those who would make
the plea that he sought his own ad-
vancement. !"

In certain town are two brothers
who are engaged in the retail coal
business. A noted evangelist visited
the town, and the elder brother was
converted. For weeks after his con-
version he endeavored to persuade
his brother to join the church. One
day he said to him: "Why can't you,
too, join the church, Richard?'

Proprietors of Mankato amusement
places are stirred up over an order of
Mayor Meyer refusing to allow the
moving picture theatres to open Sum
days. The proprietor of one of these,
Joseph Ruerup, says that if he is not
allowed to open he will see to it that
nothing else is open Sundays. A
number of things would be effected by
this, possibly even the Chantauqua.
Ruerup declares that street cars, stores
and all places doing business will be
made to observe the law.

ward Revision.

Senator Clapp of this state made a
tariff speech in the United States
senate Friday. He did not discuss
the schedules, but confined himself
largely to explaining that the demand
OF the country is for downward re-
vision and that, if congress should
give it anything else, the people in
their wrath, two years from now, will
arise and sweep the republican party
out of control of the government and
put into power a party that will itself
revise downward. If the republican
party, will not give the country what
it wants, there is another party, itself
the enemy of the protective principle,
that will give it, and to that party the
country in it's disappointment and
anger will turn.
The Minnesota senator was given a
good hearing. The senate was well
filled and men of both sides followed
his remarks closely. The speech was
in a sense sensational, for there was
no mistaking the clearness of Mr..
Clapp's opinion that the virtual re-
enactment of the Dingley law at this
time will mean not only the death of
the republic party in the two coming
general elections, but the reversal of
the protective principle.
'"The real enemy of protection he
said, ''is not the free trader, for he is
not now in power, and therefore can
do no harm. The real enemy of pro-
lection is the man who has the power
to give the country what it wants in
the way of revision, but who refuses
to do it; the man who abuses his
power, forgetting that a day OF
reckoning will surely come.
''The silent masses of the people are
watching this congress. They remem-
Der the pledges of the republican
party, and of it's candidate for the
presidency. They know that these
pledges were for revision downward.
These people have not come to w ash
ington to lobby for this or that
schedule, nor will they come. But in
the solitude and seclusion of their
homes in the great prairies of the
central west, in the stores and factories
of its cities and towns, they will sit in
judgment on our acts and condemn us
if we prove recreant. These are not
mere idle words; they contain the real
truth of the situation and challenge
our careful attention at this time.'

every ten results in separation,
while in some states the proportion
has risen to one in four. Says DR..
Ross in the Century Magazine:
necessarily the factory planes
away the economic. bases of the
family. In the time of our grand
mothers the home was the seat of
score of productive processes, and the
ideal wife was the 'yirtuous woman
celebrated by Solomon. She might
not be 'soul-mate' to her husband,
but she was prop to the prosperity
Of the household. Now that the
machine has captured most of the
domestic processes and the middle
class home is sustained by the earn
ings OF the husband, the wife, from
helpmate, has become a luxury, If
now, there is rift in the lutte, the
husband becomes aware of carrying a
burden and resents things that are
overlooked when the wife is a true
yoke fellow. In word, outside of
the manual laboring class, the old
economic framework OF the family has
largely fallen away, leaving more of
the strain to come on the personal tie.
Husband and wife are held together
by love, conscience and convention,
but very little by that profitable CO.
partnership which once contributed so
much to the stability of the home.',

from Moscow, the Cossacks were
hurrying along regiment Of
French soldiers, prisoners. They
knew the horror of no sleep and
divided their forces into shifts, and
kept the French going night and
day.
One night they gave their prison
ers shelter in a big barn where
there was room for nearly all of
them Ito sleep. AS the tortured
Frenchmen rushed inside and threw
themselves on the floor, thes Cos,
sacks gathered Q side with loaded
guns. A torch was thrown on the
building, and the Cossacks waited
to shoot down the prisoners as they
rushed OUT
But a startling thing happened.
Not a man tried to escape. Whether
so benumbed by lack of sleep that
they didn't realize, or conscious and
preferring to sleep over all things
else, no one will ever know. But
not a man stirred. They were all
cremated.

RICHEST BLACK MAN IN THE WORLD
special Correspondence to The Press

special Correspondence to The Press
SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 24-You
have heard of Tennenbaum. He is
best known as the Diamond King.
He is coming over from Belgium
this month and as soon as he ar
rives in New York he will start
across the continent to visit Good
man Bray, a giant negro.
For, as Tennenbaum is the Ola
mond King" SO is Bray the Tour
maline King
Bray is as black a negro as ever
came out of the heart of the Congo
He is probably the richest blacS
man in the world. Tennenbaum
picked him up when he was rag
ged little pickaninny making mud
pies in the slums of New York.
Tennenbaum took a liking to the
little black urchin because of his
Jolly little laugh" The Diamond
King sent the boy to school and
then to college Before he was 20,
Bray had charge of the wonderful
collection of gems that won for Ten
nenbaum his title as king, Then
Tennenbaum made him his buyer
and for years the giant black tray
eled to almost every corner of the
earth looking after the interests Of
his foster father.
For the past years Bray has had
charge of the Tourmaline mines at
Mesa Grande, Mexico. He has carte
blanche to draw on Tennenbaum for
whatever he wants, and although
he is 60 miles from the nearest i'm
portant city, he lives in the style of
a prince.

STRANGE LITTLE WOMAN AT46 BESTS
TRAINED ATHLETES IN GRUELLLNC RACE
spss,a, Correspondence. to tn. Pr.ss

Special corrsspondence to The Press
LOS ANGELES, May PA little
old woman, with muscles OF steel,
running, and running well, against
seasoned athletes in a race de-
manding speed and endurance, and
strength of an extraordinary quail
ity-this was the astounding scene
witnessed in this city when the an
nual Mount Wilson hill climb was
run off recently.
The little old woman was Mrs.
1.-The. Hermitess of Santa Anita
. Canyon" because in little thatch.
ed hut, far back in the hills, she
leads her life alone, free from all
conventionalities.
The race was won by Ed Diet
RIGHT, of the Los Angeles Athletic
club, who traversed the Z ITO
mile mountain trail in one hour,
29h minutes, beating field of 16
starters.
After the last man mad been
sent away, woman, clad as a
ballet dancer-tights, sash and all
walked out to the starter and
requested to be allowed to COM
pete. She was told that this was
impossible, the contest being linn
tied to men only. She insisted
upon running, and, as the trail is
government property, no one could
stop her. The timers consented to
do their work for her.
Then she started. Up over the
rought trail this woman set fast
pace and finished in two hours and
25 minutes, which, although not
near the winners time, was good
enough to beat four of the we'll
trained men who started.
There is a strain of mystery run
ming through the life of the Her
mitess." AS a young woman she
was beautiful and an accomplish
ed musician. Active and endowed
with perfect health, she longed for
life of adventure. She came
west from her home in Maine
When just a trifie over 80 years
old she made one of the famous
party that went with Lucky"
Baldwin to the Klondike during the
gold rush. The whole tenor of her
life was changed. She went away
light-hearted, gay. She returned
bitter Nobody but herself knows
how or why the change was work
ed. She was still beautiful still!
accomplished. Her friends well
coined her home. but she left them
all and sought an abode in little
barren canyon in the mountains.
With her own hands she built
hut. She had piano brought from
the city. Today she has the man.
ners and the strength of the man.
yet when the evening sun is set
Ting behind the hills her delicate
old fingers can wander tenderly
only friend and confidante. Trav-
elers and hunters on repeated oc-
casions have come to the city tell
ing of weird music, wonderfully
executed snatches from classics
that they have heard coming from
a little matched hut in Santa Anita
canyon.
What led this strange woman to
enter the gruelling Mount Wilson
contest will probably never be
known. She refuses to discuss her
self or her affairs.
