DIVORCE Mill IS
STEADILY GRINDING
This Is One Mill Which Does
Not Grind Slowly

Savannah, Ca, March 15.-The di-
vorce mill is steadily grinding in the
Superior court this week. 1t is the
usual heavy grind of the spring sea-
son. Yesterday and today was taken
up entirely with hearings of this
kind
One Of the striking things in con-
nections with these cases is the large
number of desertions. Cruel treat
mcnt is rare thing to plead in a
Chatham county divorce case. Half
of the compliments allege desertion.
Sometimes it is the husband who has
decamped, and sometimes it is the
wife who has gone away.
There are about as many deserted
husbands as there are deserted wives
whose deserted mates ask the court to
seeyr the tie that binds.

INTERESTS OF "ALL THE PEo-
PIE" IN DISTRICT.

We publish in the Mail Bag depart
ment today communication signed
''Dixie Girl" which presents point of
view in regard to the pension fund for
police and firemen which the opponents
of that measure would do well to con.
slider.
In the course of his recent speech
before the Brightwood Citizens Asso-
citation Chairman johnson of the House
District Committee practically took
the position that if the guardians of
the peace and safety were rendering
a service to the National Government
it would be all very well for the Ma
tional Government to create q pension
fund in their behalf, but since it was
the District alone which claimed their
attention it was up to the District to
provide the pension fund.
Our correspondent very properly re.
calls the fact that it is distinctly the
property of call the people" that the
ShACh pOAioCuuCh uiC III lui NC pol
called upon to protect, and cites q
specific instance where the entire de
partment was concentrated on the Navy
Yard buildings, leaving the rest of the
city exposed to peril. The loss of q
fireman's life in that instance would
have been in rendering direct servic,
to "all the people"
In short, it should not be necessary
to point out that, in round figures
half the real estate in the District be

of Congress and their encourage, VIII

GROWTH OF EDUCATION BY
MAIL.

There is really no excuse in these
days for any one going without an
education, for, according to the report
of the, Federal Bureau of Education,
the correspondence school covers every
thing imaginable in the way of learn
ing. ~
Until few years ago education by
mail was entirely function of private
institutions, but the method is rapidly
being adopted by the highest universi'
ties, colleges, and schools.
Ten State institutions, including the
Pennsylvania State College, have cor
respondence courses, serving all classes
of persons. The results are increasingly
satisfactory.
This method of acquiring a knowl-
edge of general and technical subjects
has many advantages.
In the first place, it may be as
sumed that the man or woman taking
correspondence course is eager fol
an education, and will be diligent in
the pursuit of knowledge.

COMING INTO COURT WITH
CLEAN HANDS.

It is an ancient maxim of the law
(using the term in its broader sense)
that "he who comes into equity must
come with clean hands," 1t has re-
mained for Justice Walker of the
municipal court of Chicago to insist
that he must come with a clean face
also.
When a prisoner was recently ar
raigned before him on a charge of dis,
orderly conduct the signs of disorder
in his hair and features were many and
obvious. The justice was anxious not
to prejudice himself by considering the
case of a man whose real face h,
couldn't see, SO he ordered that the de
fendant be taken out and given bath
When he came back properly launderet
he looked like different man, and tn
Judge, after hearing the prisoner
statement, declared that he was s
much a different man that he was no
guilty of the offense charged agains
him.

Segregating the negro Is contrarention

For this reason alone ordinances are

THE EVOLVED CAUCASIAN
AND HIS SOCIAL SYSTEM
the Editor Of THE TINES:


Among the ancient Caucasians the
teachers became known as the ecclesi-
astical authorities. They exercised
considerable influence over the people,
and while their authority was usually
subordinate to that OF the king, yet that
was not always the case. for they some
times aided a usurper in dethronins the
king. Nor was there always complete
harmony among themselves, for they
sometimes wrangled over a suggested
change in the creed. The acceptance of
a change in the creed by some of the
teachers and some OF the people usually
resulted In separation that was often
accompanied by violence.
And 1t is In that manner that bar
barians make changes In creeds.
AL the creeds that hove came down
to us from barbarous past and that
support the demoralizins precepts Of SO,
called morality. stand on the original
braic narrative OF the so.called creation
effect that about 5000 years ago the
earth and light and darkness were Gre
ated on the first day, the armament on
the second. plants on the third, the sun
and moon and stars on the fourth, flying
and swimming animals on the NTH. and
land animals and man on the sixth
And this is the foundation Of tho pre-
cepts of so-called morality that de-
moralize our social system. In con-
trast with this let us glance at some Of
the secrets OF nature tnat the evolved
Caucasian has found out.

this could be established only by heaS-
say evidence, for his hands and face
were so dirty that he might have been
descended indiferently from Shem,
Ham or Japheth. He, too, was given
. bath before he was given q decision,
and again the judge decided that the
prisoner was not guilty of the charge,
which was that of having stolen a
pistol.
If one were looking for Daniel come
to Judgment he would hardly take a
ticket for Chicago, and yet the acumen
which segregated the witnesses in the
celebrated case of Susanna vs.. the
Elders was equally conspicuous in that
Windy City court room. If cleanliness
isn't next to godliness it at least en-.
joys that reputation, and the man
who comes before the bar soiled and di-
sheveled comes with the presumption
against him that there is q certain CO.
relation between CRIME and crime. II
he wants either equity or legal justice
he had better take care to come with
clean hands.
Now that the Chicago magistrate has
set the example perhaps it win become
part of the court procedure of the
future to subject every prisoner to q
scrubbing. Even though it be found
when the dirt is removed, that there ID
residuum of crime beneath, the tonine
up of bath may carry him long way
on his journey toward reform.
