DOESN'T BELIEVE DIVORCES
ARE ALWAYS AN EVIL

QUARTZ, Sept. 15.-[Editor HeraldI:
1 read with interest your editorial on
the divorce evil in the issue of the 11th
inst. 1 do not believe that hedging
in" the prospective bride and groom
with difficulties in entering into the
marriage state will in any way lessen
the evil. 1t would be far better to study
the cause of divorce. / believe that
one great cause of divorce Is a disre-
gard of the rights of each other and
the use of language to one another
that either person would not think OF
even dare to use to an outsider. Ii
each person is as courteous and strives
to please the other after as he or sne
did before marriage there would be less
Of the so-called evil.
There can be 10 happy home without
love, and love cannot be driven or
coaxed; it springs up spontaneously,
yet 1t cannot endure unless 1t can teed
upon that which caused 1t to spring
forth The idol of love is always shat-
tered by it's own hand, and must re-
main broken and in the dust until
again replaced on its pedestal py the
hand which cast it down.
The divorce evil begins after mar
riage. and not before, and no pre-
nuptial law can in any way lessen the
evil.
Is divorce at times an evil?
There are many times when divorce
or separation proves to be a blessing
Where it is impossible for two per
sons to live together in peace ana nap
piness, where they are constantly quar-
reling and fighting, making home a
hell, they should separate. and any
law that would compel them to hve
together is unjust, especially if there
are children in the family. Children
adopt the ways and manners OF speech
froy11 those with whom they associate,
and to compel children to grow up IN
a home filed with discord, with harsh,
unkind words and a lack of respect
and common decency, is wrong and a
uninst to the children, and cannot but
be an injury to their dispositions, ana

one who knew how was engineering the
job, but now they are in the dark or
middle part of the tunnel and they are
again trying that old skip and jump
method of the former workers; they
first make a dam, then bale out most
of the water, then plump in the cement
and trust to luck. OF course the water
seeps around these patches and in some
spots the water is quite unmanage-
able. though the workmen try hard
enough. In these places a few bricks
are irregularly laid to wobble round
later under those long narrow boats
the city fathers are getting built for
the coming winter.
1 ask again why don't they remove
the cause? The water shows It's own
level and no amount of dabs of surface
cement can check that body of water,
for 1t is over a block long. I heard
one little boy say to another while
pointing at the workmen, wonder they

THINKS ONE CURE FOR
DIVORCE NOT APPARENT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12.-[Editorr
Herald: In regard to the divorce eVll
much can be said. That there is one
cure for divorce is not apparent. IL
presents a complex problem inVolVlhg
the sex nature of humanity, the Iact
of continuous mental development ana
having its roots in the unjust founda-
tion of our industrial system, nurtured
b., the false standards, lack of educa-
ton, the pretense and multiform i'm
morality which form the superstructure
of this wrong foundation. That so many
divorce suits indicate a shocking con-
dition, l agree. The logical thing would
seem to be an improvement of the con-
ditions rather than punishment for
their victims. All the universe is In
state of change, and we say to two
people when they marry, stand still,
remain just as you are"
But Dame Nature is notorious law
breaker of man-made laws, though a
stickler for her own. No one is today
what he or she was ten years ago. The
friends of ten years ago do not satisfy
us today. except those who have kept
pace in intellectual development. Now.
pray don't accuse me of advocating q
readjustment of our matrimonial af-
fairs each decade. 1 merely point out
that here is a problem which no i'm
pressed seriousness at the altar can
eliminate and for which a jail sentence
is rather a crude solution. Should two
persons who are mismated and uncon-
genial be forced to live in the most
intimate relation of life, compelled to
lifelong suffering by legal enactment?
Should the little children of such per-
sons be brought up in the demoralizing
atmosphere of a wrangling inferno,

The only discussion of the evening

forth certain compromise or prellnl-
nary measures of government Favored
by Socialism, but only as temporary
measures The point was made by the
majority and its supporters, or whom
there were many, that the larty can
not afford to advocate or promulgate
any temporizlng methods. Speakers
asserted that capitalism should pc de-
nounced as a whole and that all sucn
measures as an eight-hour law, mu-
nicipal ownership, pension and puDnc
insurance acts and unrestricted fran
chise provisions should not be named as
parts of a platform Of the party.
The majority of the committee MAIN
tanned that, as all these measures are
preliminary to Socialism, they should
be treated as tenets of the party. This
view of the situation finally prevailed
The majority draft of the platform was
adopted as the official pronouncement
of the party.

TO SEARCH FOR

AMERICAN WILL UNDERTAKE
LONG JOURNEY
Prof. Meyer of Bureau of Agriculture
Will EndeaVor to Find Fruits and
Grains for Introduction Into
United States

LONDON, Sept. 1s.-Prof. Meyer of
the United States bureau of agriculture
has arrived here on his way to under
take an extensive botanical search
throughout southern Russia and the
little-known regions of Asia, with the
special object of discovering new plants
and grains which may be transplanted
to the benefit of United States agricul-
ture. Only a year has elapsed since
Prof. Meyer returned to San Francisco
after a successful expedition to Man
churia, where he discovered a species
of rice which can be grown in the
United States in the same way that
wheat is raised in this country.
Ten years ago peculiar kind of
wheat was discovered In southern Rus
sia which would thrive with a rainfall
of only twelve to fifteen inches in the
course Of the year. This was intro
duced into some semi-rainless districts
of the United States with such success
that last year no less than two million
bushels was exported to the country
wrom which ten years before the seeds
were obtained.
Prof. Meyer has been instrumental in
introducing several varieties of Central
Asian grapes and peaches into the
United States, and recently the govern
ment experimental farms in California
have been cultivating a giant radish
brought back by the professor from his
China and Japan expedition. Barley
and oats free from hulls, found by the
professor in northern Mongolia, are
now being extensively grown in the
United States, and the Japanese bam-
boo is also being successfully culti-
waited.
Prof. Meyer, on his present tour, is
particularly desirous of finding a
variety of the Siberian fir which will
adapt itself to the higher and colder
regions of America. Another object
will be to discover, If possible, para
sites which when introduced on a fruit
or grain farm will kill insect pests.
Prof. Meyer leaves England for St
Petersburg this week for a three years
exploration tour. He will go first to the
Crimea and then across the Black sea
to Batoum, and over the Caucasus to
the Caspian sea, through Turkestan,
Siberia, Tibet, Mongolia and China.
He expects to be for eight months alb

SAYS COMBINE WILL SOLVE
HUMANITY's GREAT PROBLEMS

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13.-[Editor
Herald: 1 quote the following from
this mornings Herald;
Among Mr.. Harriman's intimate
friends the belief prevailed that the
enormous railroad holdings are not to
be divided for a long period and that
the will creates a trust for their ad-
ministration, the income going to the
heirs. 1t is also said that while the
railroad and commercial interests will
be held intact through a trusteeship,
the will gives Mrs. Hartman the mag
nificent estate at Arden and also the
town house on Fifth avenue"
! Whether The Herald's idea Is carried
out in this instance or not it does
show the trend of this combine age.
The proposition is to form or create
trust in some features like the above,
thus completely changing the intention
of business from competition to COM
bine. A change as complete as when
our fathers changed the form of gov
ernment from a monarchy to a repub-
lie, So we will soon change industrial
war to industrial peace; from the
vicious "every fellow for himself of
competition to "I will help you for help
in return" of combine.
Existing combines have shown us
exactly how not only to proceed, but
to succeed.
Let public opinion ripen-by all of us
advocating the formation of combine
the intention of which is to include all
Americans as equal shareholders of all
productive property. (Homes such as
Mrs. Harriman's is not productive
property
Combine is thus competent to elm
mate poverty from among all its share
holders and settle forever the labor,
the saloon and kindred questions.
Dividends will naturally take the
place of wages.
The property Of present owners will
be bought and paid for much as new
corporations buy and pay. Nothing
mysterious about that part of 1t.
Neither is there anything mysterious
about Americans becoming equal
shareholders They are and have been
equal citizens. and no American can
assign a reason whv they should not
become equal shareholders in all pro-
ductive property.
If washington became greater man
when he became an equal citizen, SO
Rockefeller will become a richer man
when he becomes with us an equal
shareholder. If not, why not? 1 chal-
lenge any reader to dispute.
Nothing less can gain the confidence
of the American people. Nothing
greater is required. Industry thus
Americanized Is the real aim and OBJ
ject of American civilization.

SAYS FEW GENTLEMEN
RIDE ON STREET CARS

LOS ANGELES, Sept 16.-[Editor
Herald: While on the subject or
street cars I think they should be
made to notify patrons before they
enter a car if there are empty seats
or not and let a person decide If they
care to stand. AS it is now, you DO
not know until on the car and find
every seat occupied, mostly by men,
they having the advantage of getting
on before the car entirely stops.
AS there are few gentlemen found on
the cars nowadays, you sometimes
have the embarrassing position of be-
ing the only woman standing. If you
cannot reach the strap, good (Which is
injurious to a woman If she could,
YOU are pushed aside by the conduc-
tor, against men who smoke In your
face.
OF course men have right to their
seats when they pay for them, but as
most men consider themselves stronger
than women they should not refuse to
give up their seat, especially as they
have the say about making such con-
ditions.
Men claim women would lose the
right to mems protection If they OBJ
tain the ballot, but as we have not
that honor as yet why have they With
drawn their protection?
1 do not think men lose anything by
being courteous to a woman. A true
gentleman could not do otherwise. He
has power and strength and could not
help show It, and he is the man wom-
en- must look to for their rights, not
the ones who keep their seats. They
do not believe in equal rights. They
respect none but their own.
