ENGLISH DIVORCES

There is no divorce for the poor man
in England. This has been empha-
sized repeatedly during the sittings of
the Royal Commission on Divorce,
which. by the way. have developed
some very interesting facts.
"The position of the poor is a shock
ing one" said Sir George Lewis, the
famous solicitor who has just retired
and who perhaps has handled more
divorce cases than any man in Eng
land, i'm reply to Lord G1rell. Gas the
law stands there is no divorce for
them. The poor cannot afford to bring
their cases to London" All that can
be done in case of domestic Disagree
ment is to obtain an order of separa-
ton, and of these Sir George said, re-
plying to Lord Gorell, he was strongly
opposed, 'loSing upon the for an od-
ious form of punishment"
Increasing Among Wealthy.
But while divorces practically are
confined OF the rich, they are increas-
ing in England and Wales at greater
rate than the population. as wal
SHOWN by figures produced by Sir JohI
Macdonnell, master of the Supreme
Court The statistics showed that II
a very large proportion OF dissolve'
marriages there were no children. Wit
ness also produced figures showing
that two thirds of the divorces tool
place when the parties nad been mar
ried from FIVE to 20 years.
There were hardly any divorces IN
the first year of married life, very
few after a couple of years, whilst the
number increased after FIVE years
Forty per cent of the divorces oc-
curerd when the parties had been maj
ried between 10 and II years.
In relation to the poor mans posi-
/ ton the consensus is that the pooi
should have increased facilities fol
freezing themselves from undesirable
partners.

AMERICAN Boys
WON'T 40 TO SEA

The American line, under its con-
tract with the United States Govern
ment has carried ever since its incor-
poration ten cadets on each of its four
ships-the Philadelphia New York. ST
Louis, and st. Paul. Their uniforms
are provided for them, and their pay
begins at SO a month. It has been
difficult. however, for the line TO get
the right kind of educated American
boys to I'll the vacancies as they oc-
CURED. In summer applications for
vacancies pour in from all parts of
the country from boys who wish to
make trip or two to Southampton in

tention of seeing as much as they can

ampton, but not to study navigation
and become officers I'm the mercantile

A well-known shipping master who
has had twenty-five years experience
on the water front of New York, in an
interview recently said:
"When we had the clipper sailing
packets, leaving here every month for
San Francisco. China, and Austrlia,
there we're American sailors to be
found who took pride in their vocation

abroad for years might induce some
lads in our crowded cities to adopt
the sea as a profession. Stereopticon

ments during his testimony which cre-
ated some sensation.
Wife's Conduct Important.
Questioned as to the subject Of sex
equality. Sir John said; Z do not
think that an act OF misconduct on
the part of a man has anything like
the same significance as an act Oh mis-
conduct on the part of a woman. Most
men-1 think all men-know Il per-
fectly we'll An act Of misconduct on

tinued esteem and love for his wife.
On the other hand. an act of miscon-
duet on the part of woman Is quite
inconsistent with continued love and
esteem for her husband"
A similar position was taken by n.
s. Grfiths. a solicitor. who quoted
from Boswels Life Of Johnson" to
show that Johnson thought an act OF
misconduct on the part of a wife more
serious becaue Confusion of progeny"
might result, whereas misconduct by
a husband. although il might he crim-
inal in the sight Of God, did not do the
wife material injury.

WOMEN IN KANSAS
IN POLITICAL WORKS

n those shrleking sunraFettes who are
tearing their hair and gnashing their
teeth would learn something TO their adj
vantage. for Kansas. be it known. not
only extended the most liberal franchise
to women within IT'S power, but the women
actually hold so many elective Offices that
IN some court houses there isn't any place
left for the men TO smoke. OF the sixty
two women who hold county offices some
have served several terms and have given
such satisfaction that they can have their
jobs as long as they want them.
There are five district clerks who are
women. four county clerks three county
tteasurers. one county commissioner, a
probate Judge and hosts Of superluten-
dents OF schools There are women may
ors and members Of various stale and
county boards. Women practically con-
troll the states institutions for the care az
girls and boys and the insane.
How did tho women OF Kansas get
this splendid recognition? asks the KAN
sas city Journal. Certainly not by throw
ing brickbats or wallowing I'm the gut
ters In order to advance their cause. They
did nothing silly or unwomanly They
merely went about Il in a practical and
sane manner and now there Is little left
IN Kansas that they may not aspire to. n
the bowling female dervishes Z London
and occasionally New York would consid-
er the case OF Kansas they would learn
the true way to accomplish their conquest
OF the ballot. In Kansas there Is no
resentment against tho election of wo-
men to important Office. Indeed. there Is
a popular feeling that women, when fitted
for the work. make more efficient publi,
! servants than some men.
| The stupidity OF the militant suffra
gettes Is remarkable. They appear t
have lost all the keen finesse Of thei
sex. which has always been regarded a
their strongest weapon against the tyrsn
man. Instead OF winning sympathy an
