with his wife is the feature Of the that excites
the most general appreciation. It redeems rad
affair with a touch of heroism Even 9dmittiug that
he was partly to blame, his conduct, nevertheless
shows great unselfshness and restraint Undoubt-
edly in the majority of such cases. the husband is
partly to blame" Would any wife wander astray
if her husband was perfectly devoted to her? But
then we must remember that it is impossible for
any man to be perfect.
By emitting to bring divorce suit, it is urged.
Mr. Gwathmey makes the best of a sad affair. He
avoids bringing additional disgrace his wife He
does the best for his two sons one boy at school
and the other at college If they have natural feel
ipgs they must be attached to their mother While
looking to their father for support. divorce would
embter their lives and destroy their home relations
1t should not be forgotten that in forglVlng MS
wifes sins man is following the in1unctons OF the
Christian religion We cannot draw any other les
son than this from the words Of the Saviour, spoken
of the erring woman Let him that is without sin
among you, cast the first stone"
Men go to church every Sunday, ask forgiveness
for their sins and promise forgiveness to Others and
vet they think that wifes sin is the one untorglV
able sin. This feeling must be partly due to a reel
ing of injured egotism and vanity and partly to an
ancient barbarous sense of personal ownership IN
wife This sense has been inherited from the print
tive ages when gained his wife by force TO
take her from him like stealing his favorite stone
Ratchet or some very choice piece of clothing such
as a bears skin.
The morality of modern civilization appears to hold
that man should consider the rights and wrongs
OF both sides, and forgive his wife, if she will meet
him in an equally reasonable spirit.

traordinary tender, delicate and assiduous in his
attentions.
The menu of the dinners which he offered to his
fair companion, when read in court, caused the
mouths of many to water. The clear green turtle
soup, the mallard ducks. the oldfashioned whiskey
cocktail the champagne of a special vintage, the
very ancient brandy called up picture of banquet
that would tempt anybody of epicurean tastes.
In view of the convvial character of these affairs,
it is curious to note that Mrs. Bishop, the accuser
was accused of intemperance by Mrs Gwathmey In
affdavits submitted by the latters counsel it was
stated that Mrs Bishop sometimes took quart of
whskey a day and sometimes fifteen cocktails that
she was very fond of gin, brandy and veronal.
Another curious fact was that Mr. Bishop while
dining extraordinarily, ordered bottle of the spe-
cial water, Orchard Spring Water, which was bot
tied at his estate. His wife had Won consider
able praise in the social world by her success in
promoting this water commercially.
In Mr.. Bishops testimony there was an evident
effort to suggest that he was an object of sympathy
He said that his married life was very unhappy"
and started to give account of his troubles with
his wife. 1t is hard to find excuses for midde-aged
man with five daughters who misbehaves himself like
MT Bishop but modern society would do justice even
to him.
Then it is said that the wife was suffragette
that she was splendid organizer, possessing great
executive ability good business woman and great
social worker. She organized the Childrens Orches

fairs. Experience shows, however that man needs

ecutve ability

go The question follows the recent Bishop
divorce case which has interested New York fash
ionable society and American society in larger
sense more than any case that has occurred in
many years.
The announcement made after the divorce that
j. Temple Gwathmey would be reconciled with his
wife is what chiefly stirs society now. Judge Gof
granted an absolute divorce to Mrs Abigail Hancock
Bishop en- the ground of her husbands relations with
Mrs. Leila Gaines Gwathmey.
According to earlier American standards. Mr..
Gwathmey would have been expected to sue his wife
for divorce, to show unreenting bitterness toward
her and perhaps to make attempt to STAY the dis
turber of his domestic peace 1t is interesting to note
that present day society appears to consider that
Mr.. Gwathmey has taken a better course.
The social philosophers of to-day say that man
should stop and consider whether there not Eek
tenuating circumstances" wife of good breeding
and excellent conduct for many years is not likely
to go astray if her home life is perfectly happy.
In this divorce case it was testified that there was
friction between Mr.. and Mrs. Gwathmey before
Bishop appeared, Friction cannot come from the
wife alone. Bishop testified that on more than one
occasion he asked Mrs. Gwathmey and her husband
to dinner and that the husband refused to co. letting
his wife go alone. In this observers see an extern
uatlng circumstance
There may be extreme provocation" which would
reduce wfes culpability to the lowest degree just
as it does in charge of murder. There is no posi-
tive evidence to show that any such provocation
existed in this 1t is impossible to say whether
not occurred in the early incidents that caused
friction between husband and wife,

president of the Cotton Exchange played golf when
he at he Anau lie 1ipks
occasions left his wife alone. Mrs. Gwathmey who

remarkably beautiful, exquisite blonde, tall,
with a superbly graceful figure. She had always
been greatly admired and courted and any neglect
would wear exaggerated aspect to such woman,
Some philosophers maintain that wife. may be
tempted beyond human endurance" Is such a de-
fence compatible with true morality? Is morality
merely question of circumstances?
Those who support the temptation theory, say
illtreated by her husband and it, on the other hand,
she is thrown into the society of who shows
her every possible attention including dinners,
motor rides, theatre parties and constant flow
of fattering conversation, then the temptation
goes beyond human endurance
There was no evidence that Mr.. Gwath-
mey iIl-treated his wife, but there was
arrangement which might mean

know that Mr.. Bishop was ex-

THAT GARBAGE DEAL

Chicago sank at least one of its
feet into the garbage middle last
night when it agreed to rent the clay
hole at N. Western avenue and Grace
street from the Illinois Brick Co. at
$1,000 a year.
This is equivalent to per cent of
the price asked for the sale of the
property In return for this lease the
brick company not only gets the
rental money, but also gets land fill
ed up that is now practically useless
to them.
A protest against the use of this
property, signed by 1000 residents of
the neighborhood, will be filed by
Attorney Willard McEwen.
Aid. Merriam made a caustic at
tack on the plan, predicting that it
would cost the city about 100000

ALL MAY LEARN
Swimming ART
LOCAL Y. M. C. A. MAKING GREAT
PREPARATION FOR THE CON-
ING TO FARGO OF n. II. coRsAN,
THE INTERNATIONAL INsTRUc-
TOR NEXT WEEK.

When it is realized hat on an
average of 1000 American people are
drowned each year In this country,
due to the fact mostly, that they do
not know how to swim, the value Of
knowing this art is brought to us with
tremendous force. In nearly all of
these fatal cases a mere knowledge of
how to keep afioat for only a short
time would have meant safety. Instead
of that people think their canoe will
never turn over, or that their launch
is perfectly safe, or that the ice is
strong enough to support hundreds,
and so they find Gus for not
learning the art of swimming.
For the pleasure and splendid means
of exercise that swimming affords
every person should be able to enjoy
it. But for reasons far more import
only know how to swim, but how to
rescue a drowning person and ad-
minister artificial respiration.
For the men, and boys over II ear
of age of Fargo, there will be no ex-
cuse in the future for them not know
ing these two things, how to swim
and how to rescue a drowning person.
The Young Mems Christian associa-
ton is making this possible. The as
ISOLATION is doing this moi only Tor It's
members, but for every man or boy in
the city whether II not he holds a
membership card in the association.
H. II. Corsan the SPECIAL swim
ming instructor of the international
committee of the Young Mems Chris
tan association will be in Fargo next
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Feb. 8, 4, 5 to teach every male nom
swimmer in the city is valuable
accomplishment. This week Mr.. Cor
san is teaching in Cathage, Mo-. and
will come direct to Fargo from there.
Already he has taught over $1,000
men and boys to swim, and has taught
as many as 1000 in one week.. AS an
instructor his record is unbeaten, and
the wonderful good he is accomplish
ing is voiced and praised by the many
thousands that he has taught. The
local association considers itself
fortunate in being able to secure such
a man as Corsan. The non-swim-
mers of Fargo are fortunate in having
this opportunity to be taught at this
time.
The instruction will take place in
the, association swimming pool. A
class schedule is being worked out,
and further information can be had
at the association building.
