fine point in the matter of Widows
pensions, has been raised in the dis
trict court here. The question of
whether woman who has secured a
divorce from her husband comes un-
der the provision Of the widows pen
sion act is the question at Issue. This
is the first time that such a question
has been raised, in the county at
least Judge Hamilton will take the
matter under advisement and rule
later.
The case Is that of Mrs. Grace Still
we'll, who, according to her applica-
tion for pension, on file in the clerks
office, was granted divorce last Sep
tember from Isaac N. Stillwell. In her
application Mrs. Stillwell sets out
that she has two minor sons, eight
and six years old. respectively, to sup
port.
Mrs. Stillwell sets out in her peti.
tion for widows pension that on
ISeptembed 26. 1918 she was granted
a divorce from Isaac Stillwell on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, and for drunkenness She as
serts that her ex-husband failed to
contribute money for her or for Ia
support of the children and that she
has no means of supporting herself
except by taking In washing, which is
not sufficient to clothe the children
and send them to school, she declares.
Mrs. Stillwell's case came up in con-
nection with hearings in four other
Widows pension cases this afternoon.
Judge Hamilton heard the arguments
in the matter and took time to consid-
er the question.
In the statute authorizing pensions,
the term widow is defined to mean.
besides women whose husbands have
died, women whose husbands are con
| fined In any institutions under state
board of control, until such time as
they shall be released. Whether or
not the statute will cover divorcee's
will depend on the courts ruling.

GETTING WHAT ONE WANTS.

A clever story in a current periodi-
cal is entitled "You get what you
want" and the author contends that
people always do get what they want,
if they want it sufficiently to subordi-
nate everything else in life to it. This
is probably true, granting few
premises such as health, strength, and
some natural ability. A men for in
stance sets out to become rich. The
chances all are that if he bends every
energy of his being to the task, steels
his brain and heart to consider nothing
but gain, then if he possess shrewd-
ness and hardness, there is little doubt
that he will become wealthy. That the
price paid is frequently too high can
be judged by the stunted personality
of many persons one sees. They know
only the state of the market, and think
only in terms of dollars and cents.
But if one gets what one wants, and
even if that be good, must, to gain it,
ride over every obstacle regardless Of
all other considerations, then it is best
not to want any one thing too much.

FAULTS OF HOMESTEAD
EXEMPTION.

Homestead exemption is undoubted-
ly a feature of the law primarily de-
signed for the protection of the wife
and children of family, and indeed
for the mans protection against him
self and the consequences Of his own
debts. The law plans that when a
man has gone beyond his means, and
misfortune has overtaken him, that his
all shall not be swept away from him,
but he shall still keep a moderate
home-the homestead-that his family
may have a roof overhead and hearth
by which to sit. 1t has long been seen
and known that this benevolent pro-
vision of the law is frequently made
an instrument of dishonesty, permit
ting the defrauding of creditors. In
some states, the law has been repealed
entirely. In others, the exemption is
$500 or $500, and in none is it so high
as IN Louisiana-$2,000. There can be
no doubt that the idea that property
owner can hold back anything at all
from his creditors has a demoralizing
effect upon a mans innate honesty,
not only as regards his own actions
but his view of the conduct of others.
A man is excused for doing that for
the sake of his wife and children, which
he could not be excused for doing
merely for himself. In like manner,
the honest instincts Of women are un-
dermined, as is always the case when
the SEA is shielded rather than strength
ened.
But the homestead law, as the Baton
Rouge Chronicle points out, is besides
an actual detriment to the small land
owner. If his property comes within
the legal exemption, then he has alb
solutely no means of obtaining credit.
GAS he cannot pledge his possessions
for debt" says the Chronicle" he must
go to the money lender who takes
chances in return for exorbitant inter-
est charges. One exponent of the
repeal declares that if the finest plan
tations were divided into fifty acre
farms being worth just $4,000 paid for,
but the settler possessing little work
ing capital, as is invariably the case
the exemption laws would prevent
each from getting enough credit to
live through the season and in less
than a year all would be tenantless.
This is a serious matter, and possibly
sion, which it is receiving"
