IN JANUARY.

Divorces have featured thus far the

welded November 10, 1911. The plain.
tiff in one is the husband and in the
other case is the wife. Both charge q
statutory offense. One petition has
since been withdrawn The title of the
case retained on file is: Elgin l.. Hig.
gins vs.. Dora Higgins. The couple
were married November s. 1911. and
the petition states they lived together
until January 2, 1912.
A petition for the specific perform.

that the transaction was not in good

the property beyond the reach of the

LAFoLLETTE DEFEATS HIMSELF

Cedar Rapids Republican-When
Mr.. LaFollette started out on his series
of speeches, it was feared that the
newspapers would not print his utter.
ances as fully as his promoters de.
sired. But the newspapers have not
hesitated to print what he has been
saying. II any newspapers we're op.
posed to his nomination for the presi.
dency, they have been the most eager
to print his speeches. for those
speeches have done more to show that
he is unfit for the high office than
anything that the editors themselves
could conjure up. Mr.. LaFollette
has in fact already defeated himself.
He has utterly impressed the public
with his unfitness. His friends had
hoped that he would make speeches
that would give the country an idea
that there is at least now and then a
sober thought in his mind. But he
has gone from one excess to another.
II he were seeking the domination at
the hands Of the socialists, he would
have succeeded, but appealing to the
historic republicanism OF the country,
it must be confessed that he has made
a failure of It, Mr.. Bryan would
come much nearer fitting the repub-
lican ideal for the presidency than Mr..
LaFollette.
What Mr.. LaFollette needs mere
than brains is stomach that can
hold something substantial. He talks
like the confirmed dyspeptic that he
is If he could digest few beef
steaks. he would be able to take a
more normal view OF Matters 1t al
ways will be unsafe to put men with
out stomachs in important offices.
They are all right as agitators and
as professors. and in those ways they
often serve useful ends. but for the
higher and executive Offices Of the
nation, they are wholly unfit.

the world to test the structural
strength of this first product of the
infant steel shipbuilding art Of the
United States He always got the best
ships and the newest, because his
superior officers knew he could be
trusted to handle them safely and
develop their strong and weak points
It happened that with the gunboat
Yorktown he dropped In at Valparaiso,
Chilli, in 1891, and found an opportunity
to display all of the determination and
courage he possessed. Some of the
American sailors had been maltreated
and murderously assaulted and Evans
felt it his duty to demand protection
and reparation. The odds against him
were grotesquely large. The tiny
Yorktown lay in the harbor under the
guns of the whole Chilean fleet, yet
Evans never faltered but carried out
his purpose and sailed away trium.
phantly with his colors flying.
Receives Thanks From Congress.
When Cevera's fleet made it's fatal
dash through the blockading ships off
Santiago on July 3, 1898, Captain
Evans ship took notable part in the
fifty-mile running fight that followed.
For his gallantry in this action he re-
ceived the thanks Of congress and was
promoted. ~.,.....
AS full-fledged rear admiral Evans
was called upon to take the Atlantic
fleet around the world. )
Active duty terminated for Admiral
Evans when the cruise was completed.
He did not go on the retired list until
few months afterwards, but never
again was he called upon to direct the
of ship or fleet. He re-
tired to his quaint, old fashioned home
in this city. His leisure gave him op-
portunity to execute his long cher
ished idea Of telling of some of his
wonderful experiences, and these he
had set out in some books which are
to be found in the libraries Of every
American naval vessel and wherever
men like to read of gallant exploits on
the sea. "H y
