GEORGE v. CORL

IN the death of George " Corl. for
mer fire chief of Harrisburg, the
i city has suffered a real loss.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Corl
as chief engineer of the fire depart
ment and as a member of the City
Councils many valuable improve
ments were made in both the fire
equipment and regulations. Mr.. Corl
Joined the Friendship company way
back in SO and he saw the volunteer
departments growth year by year un-
til the Harrisburg department became
one of the most important in the
State. One of the very last things Mr..
Corl did before his death was to ride
on the Friendship companys new mo-
tor truck during the big f1remen's s
convention.
Not only was MIR. Corl an efficient
official, but he was a good private
citizen, n brave soldier and man
honored by one of the most important
secret orders in the United States.
That he was a man who could be
depended upon is seen most clearly in
the fact that for fifty years he stood
at the forge of his blacksmith shop
attending to the work of his trade and
the details of his business.
The Telegraph feels his loss par
ticularly because during the last years
of his life he was the man who had
charge of the roasting of the corn at
the annual CORN oast of the Telegraph
Family and was the life OF many a
pleasant outing party on Mccormick S

TWO SIDES TO MATRIMoNY


THE funny weeklies love to depict
husband at home with the ba-
4 bies and mother out at a club
meeting, but the other way
around is the usual thing in most
households. There is the instance re-
Gently of a man of high position who
sued his wife, the mother of his three
children, for divorce on the ground
that she was extravagant and refused
to permit him to help choose her
women friends.
Replying, the woman admitted that
her fondness for beautiful things did
lead her into debt at times, but in
stead of reasoning with her. telling
her just how much money he was
earning and how much he could af-
ford to have her spend, the husband
cursed and raved and threatened to
divorce her everytime she contracted
debt or made a new friend. II
wanted him." she told the Judge, ito
tell me how much money 1 ought to
spend. He didn't want me to spend
any. l wanted little more freedom,
and not have him question me at every
turn-it made me feel so like a pris-
oner."
But the husband, she continued,
after every fresh outbreak, left home
for : days at a time and she did not
know where he spent his time. She
never made complaint nor asked him
how much money he spent nor who
his friends were.
or course, the end was certain. No
two people can long continue to live
under the same roof with such condi-
tions prevailing.
The husband, however, felt himself
the only injured party and he was
the one to bring suit for divorce. And
what do you thing the courts decision
was? What would yours have been
under the same circumstances? Would
you have agreed with the husband or
have pitied the wife?
The judge must have been a rather
exceptional man. He granted the
woman a divorce with alimony and
the care OF the children. and here is
what he said:
1t is inevitable that the effect of
the present radical changes, giving
woman greater economic and po-
litical independence, recognizing
her rights as human being of
seif-diTection, should be an in
crease in divorces. The new and
loftier conception of equal rights
and duties has naturally rendered
the wife more sensitive to en-
croachment, and the reaction is
bound to make itself felt.
Alarming as that may seem, 1t
must be clear that it is only a
period of transition from an old
regime to new; struggle of ad-
justment preceding more whole
some conditions in the family,
placing marriage upon better
basis and with a sure guarantee of
it's permanency.
There is lesson in this for many
husband and wife in Harrisburg.
There can be no two standards in the
home. The wife is entitled to the
same freedom of thought and action
as the husband. She ought to know
her husbands finances to the penny.
little reason, little thought one
for the other would keep many a
home together that is split on the rock
of the divorce court.
