THE CODE OF THE COWARD.

| THE CODE OF THE COWARD.
1t is uncomfortable how any man
in judicial capacity can uphold cor
poral punishment of a wife by a hus-
band, hardly less so than how a hus-
| band can be so brutal as to admin
| lister such a punishment, and yet this
is precisely what a divorce referee Of
Allentown, Pa, did when he declared,
IN effect, that husband had a right
to use violence toward his wife when
provoked by false accusations of in
fidelity and constant nagging. He
characterized such q course as dis
culinary rather than abuse and cruel
Happily, few men will be found to
agree with him. If a man has a nag
ging wife the wisest course for him
to adopt, in the opinion of many, is
to remain out of the hearing of her
tongue until the storm blows over;
certainly, he has no right to take the
punishment of her in his own hands
along corporal lines. A nagging
woman soon tires scolding the pic
lures on the wall, and talking back
only makes matters worse. AS for
corporal punishment of woman by
a man, only a coward would enter
tain such a thought or pursue such a
course. In the opinion of most men,
a husband has no more right to en-
pfoy violence or force with his wife
than he has to similarly treat any one
else; in fact, not so much. She is
entitled to even more considerate
treatment from him than any other
person. He Is under oath to love,
honor, cherish and protect her." and
for him to do else is not only to
prove himself coward. but a per-
Jurer. Fortunately, very few hus-
bands ever resort to such cowardly
tactics, no matter how greatly they
may be provoked. 1t is bad enough
for man to lick one OF his own sex
who is weaker physically than him
self, let alone apply violence to a
woman, and such man in so doing
ceases to be a man and becomes a
brute, disgracing even that name
The Allentown referee should revise
his code. 1t is too cowardly for
American manhood to sanction

THE KID WHO SETTLES IT."
Grade grads settle it," is the mean
way in which the Emporia Gazette
heads its story Of the grade school
graduation exercises. And the chances
are that when Bill Whites children
come to graduate their productions will
be as positive in settling things as
those of any of the children of this
generation. 1t is a good thing that the
youngsters should have opinions and
express them in positive terms. 1t rs
better that they should tell us how the
government ought to be run or that
they should read q homily upon the
TACT That Italy lies beyond the Alps, or
tnat they should do any one of the
forty other things they think SO i'm
portant and their elders think so funny
than that they should do nothing. The
little bird that balances on the edge
OF the nest all it's life will never get
anywhere, the bird that strikes out for
itself won't fly very far TODAY AMI to
morrow, If the cat doesn't get IL. IL
VIII fly farther. God bless the kid who
settles it."-Leavenworth Times.

ATTORNEY TRIES TO
PROVE AGREEMENT
Chester S. Morey Again Un-
der Cross-Examination in
Sugar Trust Suit.

NEW YORK June s-Chester s
Morey. president OF the Great Western
Sugar company, again was under cross
examination today in the federal suit to
dissolve the American Sugar Refining
company, and Assistant United States
District Attorney Knapp endeavored to
draw from the witness an admission that
beet sugar prices followed cane eugar
quotations regardless OF the beet sugar
yield and that the result was accom-
plished by splitting the territory west OF
the Missouri river,
Mr.. Morey was shown several letters
mat passed between himself and II. O.
Havemeyer in 1908, in one OF which Mr.
Havemeyer wrote:
II repeat that anything you and Mr..
ONnard may do will be satisfactory to
me-
The witness said the western territory
was split at that time not because Of
any agreement or arrangement, but be-
cause the beet and granulated sugar men
respected what each believed to be the
wishes OF the other.
Mr.. Morey denied Mr.. Oxnard and he
agreed upon division OF the beet and
cane sugar territory.
Mr.. Knapp produced a letter written
by AR. Morey to Mr.. Havemeyer dated
August 20. 1906, in which the witness re.
feTed to our agreement Of last year"
In the light Of the Information in this
letter will you insist there was no agree
ment7"
Yes"
"Will you say there was no verbal
agreement" continued Mr.. Knapp
AS / remember II we were asked to
keep out OF the Missouri valley, and we
did So answered the witness.
You did this in 1908, 1904 and 1905
didn't you do it always since?"
Why, from these letters it seems we
must have kept up the arrangement
longer than I thought we did"
