home and to deliberately make chill
dren half orphans. 1t does them the
deadliest wrong that can be done
them on earth, for no man, no matter
how he tries, can take a mothers
place to children, nor can any mother
however devoted, supply a fathers
and the atmosphere of a home, in
which to properly rear boys and girls
and give them the right start and a
chance in life that is their due.
So for the childrens sake husbands
and wives should be unselfsh enough
to declare truce and make the best
of bad bargain and keep the home
together at least until their boys and
girls are grown.
There is also the practical side of
the question, and any woman whose
husband is liberal provider shoald
think long time before she deprives
her children of this support and ad-
yantages that their father can give
them. A wOman's family may SYM
pathiZe with her ever so deeply in her
marital wrongs, but she will find ont
that they will not accept with a very
| good grace the burden of her support
when she divorces her husband and
comes back home to live.
As for the wife reyenging herself
upon her husband by publishing his
shame to the world, she forgets that
she cannot disgrace him without also
disg@acing her innocent children. His
name is their name, and every stain
upon it reflects upon them just as
much as it does upon him.
AS long as they live her boys will
bear that name, and ii there is any
stigma attached to it every time they
attempt to go into business or aspire
to any position of honor or influence
it will be handicap against them.
Everywhere her daughters go people
will whisper the secret she has made
public, and people will glance at them
with that plying contempt that cuts
a sensitive soul to the very quick.
Can any vengeance be worth paying
this price for? Could children ever
forgive a mother who had brought
this shame upon them for the sake
of getting even with man who had
wronged her?
This view of the divorce question is
not intended to condone mans infidel-
ity, but to urge women who are I'M
happily married and who have chill
dren to remember that their first duty
is to their children and not to them

One Child In FAMILY
enough SAYS WRITER
Wife Should Work and Not
Be Parasite.

Cambridge, Mass, August 10.-"One
child is enough for the twentieth cen
fury family" says Olive Schreiner N
her new book, Woman and Labor.
THE woman who doesn't earn hcr
own living is therefore a parasite, eX-
cept for that small portion of her
time when she is engaged in propa-
eating the species, but for that time
she could be paid.
wherever in the history of a nation
great numbers of its women have be-
come parasitic that nation is on the
road to downfall and decay. America
is, therefore, on the road to dCgen-
Grafton, unless its women of leisure
can be allowed-or induced-to eX-
change their vanities for hard labor.
The human female parasite" the
book further states whether in mod
ern Paris or New York, or in ancient
Greece, Rome or Assyria, is the We
man who relieved of manual labor by
the prosperity of her class or nation,
or by the invention Of labor saving
ma hinery. will trade or her unused
potentialities Of motherhood for l."
support. Unless she can or will enter
the industrial field or some other line
Of productive activity she has no light
to live on labors of the male, except
in the primitive or decimated nations,
where the duties Of motherhood extend
over a greater period than the half
dozen years now necessary out Of her
three score years and ten.
"The woman of leisure today" she
says, like that dollhouse specimen 50
notorious before the downfall of Rome
who seeks madly by pursuit Of pleas
ure to fill the void left by the lack
OF honorable activity, would be fas
happier if she had plenty of hard
work to do, and the race would be
correspondingly healthier and more ef-
ficient."

ONE VIEW OF THE
DIVORCE PROBLEM

and to break his heart as he has
broken hers.
But this woman forgets, as many
other women in the same hard cir
Cumstances also forget, that when a
man and woman marry and have
children themselves, there is some
thing far more important than their
own happiness or their own we'll
being to take into account. 1t is the
good of their children.
Those who bring children into the
world have given hostage to fortune,
they have no right to consider solely
and to my thinking they are bound
morally to do everything, to endure
everything, to suffer everything that
makes for the welfare of these help
less souls on whom they have thrust
life
Personally, l am not opposed to di-
vorce. When a couple have ne chill
dren. and they find it impossible to
get along in peace together, I think
they are thousand times better off
to separate and so their different
ways. But when there are children
in the family the case is completely
altered. Then divorce becomes a
crime unless it is absolutely certain
that the children will be contaminated
by the association with an unworthy
father or mother.
/ 1t is terrible thing to break up Il

A wife very much in love with her
husband and totally unsuspicious i
him, has accidently discovered that
while he was absent on business
matter in a distant city he became
entangled in a peculiarly disreputable
affair with an odious woman.
Outside of this the man is a mooel
husband and father, devoted in MS
attentions to his wife, kind, generous
and considerate to her, good pro-
gtder and father, who adOres his four
children and is worshipped by them
The wife, however, finds it impossl-
bic to forgive her husbands fault
She has brooded over it until it has
H-ccked her health, and until the one
idea of being reyenged upon him has
become a monomania with her. she

forth the tragedy that | have briefly
outlined here, and asks me if l do not
think that she will be justified N

Madison.-The special committees

lslatures appointed to recommend
settlement of the boundary line dis
pute between the two states have met
at Red Wing, Mimi, and proceeded
down the river to view the territory
in dispute at Lake Pepin and later
go to Duluth and look over the ter
ritOry in controversy at St. Louis
river The prospects are that the
committees of the two states will
reach an amicable agreement. If an
agreement is reached, the boundary
suit now pending in the United States
Supreme court at Washington will
be dropped. Wisconsin claims that
its boundary runs to the middle of
the main channel of Lake Pepin and
to the middle of the stream in st.
Louis river. Minnesota claims to the
middle of Lake Pepin and to the
middle of the main channel in the
st. Louis river, as it was before be-
ing diverted by river improvements.
Fishery rights are the principal mat
tiers involved in the Lake Pepin sit
uation. Revenues from taxation of
property are involved in the dispute
at the St Louis river.
