No discussion ever conducted
through the columns Of The Press
ever resulted in more interest
among the women than has the
subject of married women en-
ployes. Letters are coming In on
every mail, and ~ many az possl-
BILE will be printed, az The Press
considers this discussion fully az
valuable az any news items which
could be secured.
Editor The Press: The woman
that answered yesterdays letter
seems to be proud that she is mar
ried and working, too, and a woman
that thinks her husband is earning
$S5 pc rmonth can't support her
goes to show that the single wo-
man who has no husband to help
help her must have hard time to
get along. Married women work
ing out in stores and other places
are the cause of more divorces than
anything else in Spokane today. A
man must feel las the saying Isl
like 30 cents to come home in the
evening after his days work and
get into the kitchen and wrestle
pots and pans and get or help to
get his evening meal while his wife
works In the store. 1t certainly
must hurt his manly pride. Many
have families Of boys and girls who
are left to run on the streets and
take care of themselves as best
they can. II there was more atten-
ton paid to this there would be
less need of Juvenile matrons and
Juvenile courts and 1t would lessen
the number of boys and girls that
are sent to reform schools, but the
married woman that is anxious to
get away from her home and work
makes her defence by saying she Is
more competent and more capable
Of doing the work. That Ia ong
her idea OF 1t. Give the girls a
chance like San Francisco does.
They seem to manage 1t all right
there. The writer is a married wo-
man and not working. nor has no
desire to. I am contented with
what my nuSDduc cdiuo anu SiNVo
me for my support, and as ! said
before l think 1t Is the direct cause
of more divorces than anything
else, and the sooner the ministers
and the good people Of Spokane get
after this the sooner they will cut
down the number Of divorces grant
ed in this city fvery week. The
Spokane Press has done more for
reform in Spokane than any other
paper that has ever been printed In
the city, not in Spokane alone, but
In the state OF Washington, and
think when It gets after this prob;
lem It will bring 1t into line all
right, as It has done everything
else II has understaken In the line
of reform. A Married Woman

There are eyes of brown, there
are eyes of blue;
There are eyes of every color and
of every hue"

Yes, you have heard that be-
fore, and it is all right. You
know there are eyes of every col
or, kind and description from
sparkling to "goo-goo," but do you
know the color of your wife's
eyes?
Every man thinks he can tell
all about his wife. He can tell
her all about her disposition with
never a chance to make a mistake
about it, but as a matter of fact,
now, how much do you know
about your wife? Can you even
tell the color of her eyes.
You used to look into them for
four hours at a stretch without
batting an eyelash; you used to
write poetic effusions about
those dewey orbsS' and all that
sort of thing, but do you really
know the color of them right now?
Seems like a queer question,
doesn't it?
OF course, you have thought
all these years you knew all about
her eyes, but if you don't, why,
never mind, there are plenty more
in the same boat.
Just to test the question, the
Times asked a lumber of Taco

Brewer Says Cities
Should Reap Benefit
Declares Against Legal Red Tape and Sides With
Progressives Who Are Fighting for Peoples
Rights.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The cost
of litigation, deters in admins
tering the law, the number of ap-
peals and the current criticism of
the courts are the themes dis
cussed by Justice Brewer, of the
United tSatcs supreme court, in
an interview made public here
today.
In addition to a sharp criticism
of the present laws and their en-
forcement, Justice Brewer advert
ed to the growing problem of puS-
lie ownership of partly public en-
terprises, declaring that
''there is every reason why
communities that can control
the capital should own, d.
rect and receive all the bene-
fits derived from water, light
ing, transit and telephone
companies"
In his discussion of the Law,
Justice Brewer said:
Too Many Appeals.
"The seat of the whole trouble.
in my opinion. is in the fact that
too many appeals are granted
when justice does not demand 1t.
A simple way to put it Is to say
that our courts trifie with JUST &c
by permitting delay after delay
upon mere technicalities. I pro-
pose that the states enact laws
that will permit of but one appeal
after the trial Judge. The laws
of many states are such that a
judge is but little more than a
moderator.
Justice Brewer added that he
would make one exception to the
"one appeal" plan, that of cases
where serious constitutional
question is involved.
Raps Lawyers.
The justice continued by saying
that he favored the policy of a
few lawyers who aided the court
in expediting cases. He declared
that the great majority of law
yers seemed to feel that they were
not living up to their profession
II they did not quibble over every
detail and gain all the delays pos
sible.
He closed his statement with an
urgent plea for the elimination OF
politics from the courts of the ma
tion.
