AFTER THE DIVORCE, WHAT?

woman was granted divorce recently, on the
testimony of another woman, who swore that she,
also had been courted, won, and, as she supposed,
married by the man in the case. She did not know
he had another wife, Investigation after she learned
it convinced her that her own had been only mock
marriage.
The court granted the divorce promptly and left
open the question of alimony to the legal wife, for
later settlement The newspaper reports told moth
ing of any proceeding beyond this. The other
woman who had been wronged apparently has no
chance for amony or any other redress The law
of the land and the law of civilized society appears
to have made no effort to vindicate itself.
This kind of amiable dealing with the worst of
criminals is wrong The man in such case gets
freedom that he was probably glad to get. BY the
standards his own depraved mind sets, he is gamer
by his own criminality.
1t is such dealing with marriage that brings the
rite into contempt, that makes divorce an incident
and fidelity merely bore to people who choose to
be ennuied by it. So long the real penalties are
all visited on the innocent and the advantages en-
loved by the guilty what better than contempt can
be expected for the marriage and divorce code?

A DIsoUIETING SIGN.

Dispatches from Tokyo indicating that the Cali
fornia land bill is becoming an issue in japanese
party politics have bad sound. 1t is unfortunate
that At this juncture the Yamamoto cabinet is fight
ing for its life and that exPremier Katsuras polt-
ical supporters are maneuvering for control.
Fortunately for the United States there is no
division on party lines here There is remarkable
unanimiy of desire that nothing shall be done to
offend Japan. The attitude of the Wilson Admins
tration is supported by political foes as well as
friends.
When questions of foreign policy get caught in
the partisan whirlpool in any country, the best ef-
forts of prudent statesmen are often of no avail.

INVESTIGATING THE LOBBY.

The cynic who, noting the latter-day activities of
Congress, observed that ours is becoming a gov
eminent by investigation" was not so far from the
facts. What of it? It's becoming better govern
ment, with more representation of the people and
less of the special interests and the investigations
have helped il in that direction.
Four years ago Senator La Toilette declined to
vote on the zinc item, making from his seat the ex
planation that he had financial interest in zinc
property that would be directly affected There was
a good deal of sneering at the demagogic bid; but
now the Senate has directed its Judiciary Commit
tee, while investigating the lobby, to learn whether
any Senator is financially interested in the produc-
ton of anything affected by the tariff. The thing
that was demagoguery four years ago gets adopted
this year. That happens a good many times, and
investigations of one sort and another make it hap
pen.
There was an investigation of the election of
Lormer, and good many people sneered at it. But
it passed the resolution for popular election of Sen
ators.
President Wilson charged that there was power
full and welfnanced lobby rather group of lobbies
in this town, trying to affect the sugar legislation. 1t
could hardly have been startling information to Sen
whose desks have been deluged with the print
ed matter put out by these lobbes But as more
and more of that printed matter has been slushed
down upon Congress, it has been less and less able
to feel sure what any particular lobby really repre-
sented.
Lobbies don't come to Washington and buy votes
with money nowadays. The real thing in investgat-
ing the obbes of today is not to trace tainted money
to its source so much to trace tainted information
to its real headquarters and inspiration. Senator
Penrose observed that "a good many gold-bricks are
aaoat here" and aside from some little incongruty
in his figure of speech, he certainly was right.
Some of the Democratic Senators seemed to think
the investigation proposed from the Republican side
vas intended to put the President in an uncomfort

PARIS FASHION VERDICT.

Emancipating American women from the tyranny
of Partisan fashion is a slow proceeding. The fact
that serious attention is being directed to it is graft
flying. Probably the best results will be secured
whenever American fabricators set about in seri-
ous organized way to make an Independent fight
for the recognition of their products letter to
the New York Press from q metropolitan shopkeeper
illustrates the potency of the Paris verdict as like
wise the skill and ingenuity Of some of the American
manufacturers
He wires that last March shoe manufacturers put
out samples Of satin slippers with rhinestone orna-
ments having wide sreamers attached to each orna-
ment; these streamers being crossed over the in
step and tied about the ankle well upon the calf OF
the leg"
These samples shoes we're placed in shop windows
and attracted much attention and admiring comment;
but nobody bought. Then they we're sent to Paris
and similarly exhibited there. Within q week Amer
ican papers began to tell about this new and beau.
tiful stunt in footwear that was capturing Paris.
With the Endorsement of Paris, demand for the
new tangled slippers chrked up right away; women
discovered that they just must have this latest clever
thing from the center of fashion gravity!
Doubtless too, there were the usual number oi
American women to voice the complaint that Ameri-
cans couldn't be expected to originate fashions be-
cause nobody except the French had the peculiar
genius for doing that sort of thing just right!

had, but, explained the servant. he had
carelessly left the basement door open
and all the chickens had escaped. A
