Argument on Motion

Argument on Motion.
The motion was vigorously opposed
by Mr.. Page. the chairman OF the
Courts Committee. He said he yielded
to no man, clergyman or layman, in
respect for the homes and in his de-
sire to protect the domestic life of the
people. But Mr. Cooke he said, "in
my Judgment, is wrong on principle.
Those who have followed him In this
matter have not understood the real
purport OF the bill
IT hear" he continued that the bill
IS to apply to some particular case. I
thank God that when the bill was be.
fore our committee l did not know OF
any particular case. We took 1t line
by line and word by word and weighed
1T thoroughly, and he added with the
greatest emphasis, "it is right. / rep
resent the people of Virginia. both
clergy and lay, and had this bill been
ill-considered in committee, and did it
contemplate doing what is contended I
would vote against it. 1t merely gives
the courts a chance to look into cases

to his marriage VOWS, taking perhaps
4 strange woman into his own home
The wife cannot live with him, and
goes back to her fathers home Her
it is impossible for her TO do so, Her
husband can sue her for dcsertion, get
a divorce from bed and board. and, at
the end of three years, can come into
court and ask for divorce from the
bonds OF matrimony His wife's hands
are tied; she has no rights.
Laws elsewhere j.
South Carolina has no divorce law,
not permitting. it under any circum-
stances Yet that State has law
which forbids married man leaving
more than a certain part OF his Tor
tune to his concubine."
Mr. Page, who was standing in the
aisle ana delivering ms ADDRESS with
tho utmost emphasis, and with a voice,
which rang through the hal and which
the closest attention OF
every one, paused here for 4. moment.
The silence was Intense.

Inventor Would Handle Mail and Pas

Washington, April Rapid transit
beyond the dreams of men has been off,
cred to the Postoffice Department byan
Efingham Ill. inventor. The Ill. man
had a scheme to run a train at the rate
of 80 miles an hour for 500 miles without
stopping. He would unload passengers
mail and baggage while the train was in
motion. His device would whlrl the
most delicate person out OF the car and
into the station without lessening the
speed orinjuring the passenger. 1t
do the same with mails, he says. On
the grounds that Congress gave to the
Postoffice Department no authority to
buy railroad equipmentthe in sention has
been declined, but the inventor has
written to President Taft Offering free
use OF the scheme and suggesting that
his appointment as chairman of the
Panama Canal Commission, will be con
