 Farcial Divorce System
 "The mechanical system of granting di- vorces in Alabama Is positively farcical and pernicious. It invites and encourages fraud. It fosters separation. It renders the marriage relation susceptible 10 lh- finite abuse It breeds contempt Tor the marital vows. It makes the dissoiutioil of a sacred union a mockery. From IL ensues much of the degradation ana oe- moralization of our family life, and. as a sequence, threatens the very stapiii's oi the social organism
 ''To remedy the evils Wnlch HeH- toned, I would recommend:
 o1 The raising of the age of consent, making the age 10 for men and Tf TOT women; ?. Making marriages below tna' age absolutely void instead of voidapie, 8. Requiring both parties to submit 10 q medical examination and prohibit mar riages between persons suffering rom cer- tain diseases; 4. The establishment or a court of domestic relations, modelled after inc domestic relations court of Chicago, wherein domestic troubles could be ad- iusted in a humane and patrlarchal man ner, instead of airing them Tn the pollce court. And I would suggest that the powers of the juvenile court be enlarged so as to embrace Jurlsdlctioh oNei Ne lirouent wives and delinquent huspanas.
 ''ro accomplish theae reforms the alo' co-operation and advice of the women are absolutely indispensable You know, time was when I regarded women as imprac- ticable. sentimental creatures But, wi'n increasing years, while l am playing my petty role in this mans world, am pc | ing aroused to the realization that this life of ours is entirely too mundane too practical. There is not enough sen timent. In this age of commercialism, in an age when the tendency or mankind Is to look out for himself, and not to worry or concern himself about his neign- bor. we need the women to help us m the imperative. heroic movement TOT the annihilation of moneyism.'
 A long round of applause greeted the conclusion of the address and many ques- tions were asked relative to the subject by several of The members. The adjourn ment of the session soon followed ana the next meeting will be held on sat urday, March ?, at the parish house or the Church of the Advent At that time Clement Wood will make an address upon criminal Law in Alabama Anecting Women; the Age of Consent; the Illus bands Liability For and Against the Wife"

to state issues. He spoke of the at

pass that kind of a law" he asserted.

the penalty with the loss OF their
suffrage" he said
Abe Lilly spoke of the Virginia
debt matter. and brought out the
manner in which the nomination Of
his opponent was brought about at
the Huntington convention. He
took up the Dawson tax law system
and showed concIusively where it
had shifted part of the burden Of
taxation unto the corporations of the
state and the poor man no longer
had to pay more than his share. He
also pointed out that the direct tax
had been reduced to minimum.
Two meetings will be held to-
night. the first at Belington and the
second at Junior. The latter place

BRITISH TROOPS CALLED
TO QUELL STRIKE RIOTS
Worke Raid CoIiery, Fire and Wreck
BuiIdinqs-To Vote
on Peace.

London = Troop trains are held
at Aldershot in readiness to carry
10000 troops which have been
ordered to be held in readiness to
move at a moments notice into the
colliery districts, where serious trou-
BILE is feared.
Five hundred troops left Lichfield
for Cannock, where serious riot oc-
Cured, and a detachment of infantry
is CHARTERED at Brynkinalt, where trou-
Bile is expected between union and
nonunion men.
The most serious outbreak since the
strike began occurred at Cannock,
strikers, accompanied by hundreds OF
women, raided a colliery in which 80
men were working.
The house of lords passed the sec
ond reading of the minimum wage bill
without division.
Reports from the mining centers
point to the probability of large ma
jority, in the taking of the ballot of
the men, in favor of resumption of
work
When it is remembered that 5000
men voted against commencing the
strike, little doubt is felt that ma
jority will now vote in favor of its
termination, especially as the view is
gathering force among the miners
that the mine owners are trying to
prolong the struggle in order to bleed
the mems union, while they render
them powerIess to continue the strug-
gle for long time to come.
Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Miners through
out the anthracite belt have be-
gun active preparations for a sus-

moved their tools from the mines

MEXICAN REBELS VICT0RS
IN BATTLE WITH FEDERALS
Forces in Four-Day Fight Near jim
inez-Many Prisoners
Taken.

Mexico City, Mex. - A decisive
battle between Mexican federal
troops and rebels in the vicinity Of
Jiminez ended yesterday. This is re-
ported from many sources. These re-
ports, however, are contradictory as to
the result. The Mexican government
has received an official dispatch to
the effect that the rebels were routed,
and President Madero in an interview
last night said it meant the breaking
of the rebel cause He said rebel
losses in killed and wounded would
reach 1000 men
A special dispatch originating at
Torreon sent to Ell impartial at Mex
leo City and bearing evidence of be-
ing authentic, reported that the fed
erals had been defeated and that re-
treating government soldiers we're be-
ing modified there.
Both reports contain the fact that
Gen. Gonzalez Sa1as, former minister
of war, committed suicide after his
command had been routed. In bad
repute, he resigned his portfolio to
take the field, hoping to rehabilitate
himself in the eyes of his country
men.
1.-THE government troops have scored
decisive victory declared President
Madero. Our latest reports show a
complete defeat of the rebels near
Corralitos, their losses in dead, wound
ed and captured accounting for 1000
of their men It has been a hard won
victory, but it means the breaking of
the rebel power. For the rash act OF
Gen. Salas we have only regret. 1t
was not necessary"

RAISES STORM IN SENATE.
Exception Taken to Understands Re-
fusaI to Supply Harvester Data.

Washington. Attorney General
Wickersham raised slight storm
in the senate by refusing ito sup
ply information concerning the re,
organization of the International Har-
vester company, which was asked by
a resolution adopted March 16.
Senator Bacon took exception not
only to the attorney generals action,
but to the manner of communicating
it.
Mr.. Wickersham said in his letter
that it was incompatible with the in
terests Of the United States to supply
the information desired because the
correspondence on file related to bust
ness which was unfinished.
Mr.. Bacon declared the language to
be discourteous and said that appar-
emily the attorney general had forgot
ten that he was a creature of con.
gress.

MOVE FOR FARM TRAINING.
important Conference Is Opened at
Illinois Agriculture College.

Champaign, III. An important
conference of educators opened in
the college of agriculture of the
University of Illinois, the object of
which is to start a movement toward
providing for agricultural education in
schools throughout the state. The con-
ference was called by B. F. Harris,
president of the Illinois Bankers as
ISOLATION and chairman of it's commit
tee on agriculture and vocational edu-
cation.
In the opening session, Mr. Har-
ris said that while more than 40 per
cent. of the population Of Illinois is
in agriculture, that science is not
taught in any of its country schools,
except in a few instances, where it is
done voluntarily. Many of the states
require the teaching of agriculture 1t
is believed the conference will result
in a report or bill for the legislature.
