inequality before the law. The stat
ute of progeniture still thrusts the
hated principle of precedence into the
bosom of every family. The state
church still discriminates against per-
sonal religion. The governmental Ell
fort, not long ago, to strengthen the
landed aristocracy gave England and
Scotland their unsolved land prob

school found root in Great Britain.
The holding Of India at public cost
for private exploitation has enriched
the very few at the expense OF very

Of least resistance into the slums OF

MART|N-R0WEll
NUPTA|LS IN EAST
WEDDING REVEALS BRIDE GIVES
DEPOSED WIFE HER ALL,
$1,000.

Des Moines, Nov. 3.-Miss Persis
Rowell and the Rev. Everett Dean Mar
| tin, former pastor of the First Unfair
| ian church, were married in the city
hall of New York city last Wednesday,
October q. The announcement came
from New York today. II
They will live in New York city.
where both expect to secure positions.
Their plans are indefinite. DR.. Martin.
who was editorial writer on the Globe,
severed connection with that news
paper q week ago Saturday
Behind the simple announcement OF
the wedding is d story of sacrifice OIL
the part Of both Miss Rowell and Mrs.
Esther K. Martin. the former wife of
the minister who secured divorce
from DR.. Martin just six weeks to the
day before his marriage to Miss Rowell
According to the friends Of the first
Mrs. Martin, Miss Rowell gave the
former wife her entire modest fortune
OF $4,000, thus expiating as far as she
could her entrance into the Martin
home which resulted in Mrs. Martins
agreement to secure a divorce and give
up DR.. Martin to Miss Rowell. Miss
Rowell gave Mrs. Martin all her money,
friends of the latter assert. Mrs. Mar
tin accepted it. With her the court in
| trusted the care and custody of the
J three children-May, aged Z; Margaret.
| age and Betty, aged 3. until they shall
| have reached the age Of Is.
| The friendship Of Miss RoWell and
| Dr. Martin began two years ago when
Dr. Martin was pastor Of the Unitarian
| church and was attaining much prom
inence through his lectures and writ
| ings which showed the brilliancy Of his
| int elect. Miss Rowell, who Is also high
| ly intellectual, was leading member
Of the church and devoted to its work.
| Their frequent association In church
work resulted in their mutual regard
! growing stronger than friendship.
| Realizing this, Miss Rowell is said by
| friends, to have offered to go away
from Des Moines. When her intention
was made known to Mrs. Martin the
latter was willing that Miss Rowell re-
main and "let come what might" &C
cording to friends.
Later Miss Rowell again offered to
sacrifice her love for DR.. Martin and
leave the city that she might not dis
turb the Martin home But Mrs. Martin
| is said to have again invited her to re-
main.
Friends say that when DR.. Martin re,
allied that his affection for Miss
/ Rowell was more serious than friend
| ship he went to his wife and told her.
! Thereafter Miss Rowell frequently Wis
| tied the Martin home and an agree
ment was reached whereby Mrs. Mar
tin would withdraw and secure di-
| vorce.
She did so and her divorce was grant
ed Wednesday. September Is, in the
J district court. The grounds were ordln-
