a Canadian contributor to the London

His name was Alexander Beggs, and
one day farmer was brought up be-

The magistrate promptly ordered the

But when he filed up the conviction

the owner to be shot and the COW to

SEES GOOD IN DIVORCE.
Eminent Lawyer Says State Often

Describing as a 'grewsome picture
that drawn by Cardinal Gibbons in
his views upon divorce, Henry B.
Brown, formerly a Justice of the SUI
prere Court of the United States,
spoke at the meeting of the Maryland
State Bar Association. He held that
divorce, fairly obtained and upon due
and personal notice to the other side,
generally rebounds to the welfare of
both sides and proves a real bless
ing.
"A man for whom / have the pro-
foundest respect" said Mr. Brown,
"has painted divorce as "a monster, IL
censed by the laws of Christian states
to break hearts, wreck homes and ruin
souls This is certainly a grewsome
picture.
"No system of laws adopted by an
idealist 1900 years ago and taught by
a following of pious and conscientious
enthusiasts can maintain its authori-
ty forever, however exalted its origin,
If it runs counter to the traditions,
customs and moral standing of the
people.
ut is not perceived why the part
nership created by marriage should
SO far differ from commercial part
nership that one may be dissolved at
pleasure while the other is absolutely
indissoluble.
"a proper regard for the interests
of the state as well as the preserva-
tion of domestic happiness would
seem to require that when the whole
obligation of the matrimonial pact
had been defeated by the habitual,
persistent and uncomfortable conduct
of either party, and that relation
which should represent the acme Of
human happiness is made to stand for
all that is most repugnant to our de
sires and anticipations, a severance Of
the tie should be permitted"

Lesson of the Pittsburg Survey.

Reviewing the "Pittsburg Survey
in an article for the April American
Magazine, Ida Tarbell says: This sur
vey is the most awful arraignment of
an American institution and its result
ing class pronounced since the days of
slavery. 1t puts upon the Pittsburg
millionaire the stamp of greed, of stu
pidity and of heartless pride. But
what should we expect of him? He is
the creature of a special privilege
which for years he has not needed.
He has fought for it because he has
fattened on it. He must have 1t for
labor. But look at him and look at his
labor and believe him if you can" In
conclusion she says: Justice takes a
terrible revenge upon those who thrive
By privilege. The curse of justice on
those who will not recognize injustice,
is the sodden mind, the dulled vision,
the unfeeling heart"
