VISIONS OF ReNoFoR MEXICAN wo MEH
Movement is Started for Securin z Divorce Courts and Petition will be
 Presented to Government.
[Chihuahua Enterprise.I


 Unless he forts of u large mum. Der of se1Oras and seIioritas, fdlI utterly, there will be a divorce court in Mexico soon.
 Despite the belief that Mexican women are timid and meek they are preparing quietly but rapidly a movement that will materially change the provisions of the civil code of this country in regard to matrimonial alliances.
 They do not wish to follow the example of their cousins across the Rio Grande nor is it their intention to copy the French code of separa tions, they5want the law to protect them against lazy husbands and against the "gilded youth" Ac- cording to the prediction of the leader of the movement, an &C., complished young lady whose name must not be published until the formality of applying to the authorities has been effected, men will not longer be bound to support their wives if they do not wish 10.
 The lady chief of the movement says that petition signed by many married and single women will be presented to the govern ment In the near future, asking that the civil code be revised and provision made for divorce court that may do away with the evils of compulsory married life now affecting society,
 There is no such a thing as immortality in divorce" she said. There is more ground for crit icism in the fact that Mexican women have kept company for many years with their husbands jorcibly and against the most rudimentary principles of justice and fairness. It is alike fair to both man and woman that the op. portunity shall be afforded to them to break the bonds of matrimony if their characters are incompatible, to say nothing of statutory charges. Our programme includes many points that will be of interest to avery Mexican woman"

The Rush to the Cities

The tendency OF population towards
the cities continues, despite the coun-

census for 1910 shows that the pop
ulation OF some OF the eastern states

For instance, Rhode Island has 524.-
000 persons in cities, and only $4,000
in the country The country, by the
way means not only the open coun-
try but also includes towns and Wi.
lagos OF less than twenty five hundred
inhabitants. In the whole United
States, several million persons live
in such communities and are in truth
more urban than rural
Massachusetts has 3.l25,000 persons
in cities and towns OF more than TWEEN.
ty.five hundred Inhabitants. and only
PAL 900 in the country and the vii
lagos. Even in Illinois. in the heart
OF the agricultural region, the urban
population has outrun the rural; and
the same Is true OF Ohio.
Vermont is the only New England
state where rural population. thus
reckoned, exceeds urban The South
and Southwest contain the greatest
proportions Of rural inhabitants. Tex
as has three times as many rural as
urban. Georgia almost four times as
many. and Arkansas more than six
times as many

conditions OF this problem have been

ton. The country used to be the
place, for the man without capital.
Uncle Sam, as the old song said. was
rich enough TO give us all a farm. To-
day, We begin TO hear the complaint
that the countryman must be either
a capitalist or hired man. II is the

even though they have no immediate

lists go out to the country
for week-ends and vacations and the
fun OF spending their money
There is something in these ideas,
no doubt, and the census reports show
that they are having their effect upon
the movement OF our population. Yet
there is another side TO the picture.
The greater the rush 10 the cities.
the fieicer becomes the competition
for every opening in business AS the
producers of food dwindle In numbers
and the consumers multiply, the cost
of living is forced upward and the
OF the struggle become
more and more difficult, The rewards
of success are still there. but the pen
