BY JANE WHITAKER

Because the word "alimony''
brings into vision a garden of grass
widows" in clover, while discarded
husbands are supposed to be tOiling
to keep the eX-wives there, the sub
ject gets little sympathy from the
public. But the grass widows in
clover are the bright spots in the pic
ture Of divorce. There is a drab part
of the picture. It is the poor, broken,
defeated wives, deserted, abused and
left with little children for whose
support they beg the law to make
the father contribute.
There has been a rapidly growing
demand for several years past for a
uniting of the courts dealing with
the question of support of wives and
children. At this time this matter is
in four courts-the county, superior,
circuit and municipal - ,and often
a single case may run through all of
these courts before relief is had for
the wife and children. 2
This defect of the system has be-
come very glaringly prominent
through the manipulation Of the cir
cult court during the past year of
temporary alimony matters.
Under the law woman with de-
pendent children, filing a bill for di-
vorce or separate maintenance, is
entitled, during the tendency of the
case, to support for herself and chill
dren. She must wait until the term
of court in which the suit is brought,
which is usually at least two weeks.
She must, of course, have an attor-
ney, and the attorney must make a
motion for alimOny, and if it is con-
tested - and motions for alimony
usually are-it is placed on the con-
tested motion calendar, which is
heard only on Thursdays and Fri
days Owing to the large number Of
motions on this calendar it is set for
two or three weeks in advance.

QUESTION OF SUPPORTING OF WIVES AND
CHILDREN AS SEEN BY JANE WHITAKER


of an early adjournment of court, a
court holiday, engagement Of at
tOrneys, or other of the usual rea-
sons, an order will be entered allow
ing her alimony, the first payment to
be made a week hence.
If the husband doesn't comply
with the order of coUrt-and usually
he does not until pressure is brought
to bear-the women is obliged to
wait until a few payments have ac-
cUmulated and then begin a con-
tempt proceeding.
Again, a motion must come up in
court and be placed on the contested
motion calendar for several weeks
in advance. The man must be
served with a certified copy OF the
order before any further action can
be had against him. This puts the
already pOveTty-stricken woman to
the expense of securing the order
and having it served.
If the husband is wise" he lodges
service of the order by changing his
address or going out of the state for
a short time, thereby making a con-
tempt proceeding impossible. If he
is brought before the court finally,
the payments have accumulated to
such an extent that it is impossible
for him to make them and he is
usually excused from a large portion
of the back payments if he promises
to make regular payments in future.
But, meantime, the wife and chill
dren have been without support for
a period of from two to three months
while waiting for the machinery of
the circuit court to grind its cumber-
some way to the mans pocket.
In the superior court the proce-
dure is quicker and simpler, because
these motions are heard every morn
ing and disposed of when they come
up in court, but, even then, it will be

House and Senate Provide
by Concurrent Resolution
for Holding Joint Session

Concurrent resolutions for the joint
session of Congress were quietly adopt
ed today in House and Senate. Twenty
five seats in the gallery were reserved
for the railroad presidents and twenty
Ave were reserved for the employees.
This was agreed to without dissent.
Representative Hill of Connecticut
said to the House that the public and
Congress had read in the newspapers
the statement which the President had
made to the railroad presidents. but had
not been able to read the statement of
the President to the railroad employees.
II suggest" he said. that before the
House is called upon to act In this
matter that we may be allowed to read
the statement Of the President to the
railroad employees"
A few minutes later Representative
Adamson of Georgia. chairman of the
interstate and foreign commerce COM
mittee, told the House that the Presi-
dents statement to the railroad en-
pIoyes was substantially the same as
his statement to the railroad presi-
dents.
HE had no secret which he is hold
ing from one side to. the other" said
Mr.. Adamson. "and I understand he will
lay his cards upon the table here to-

Leaders of Brotherhood
Most Positively Decline
to Arbitrate Eight-Hour Day

Positive declaration that the broth
erhood leaders have no intention of ar
bitrating the eight-hour working day
was contained in a statement given out
last evening by W. G. Lee. president
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men.
"It seems evident" the statement
said, from press reports that the rail-
way companies represented here are
determined to force strike rather
than accept the compromise settlement
offered by President Wilson.
THE organizations refuse positively
to arbitrate the question of an eight
hour day, because we now have an
eight hour day in effect on many SOUTH
ern and southwestern roads and DO NOT
propose to arbitrate whether we shail
retain something that we have had Tor
years and that we secured peacefully.

request would cost s100,000,oO0 has been

JONES CHAMPIONS
CITIZENS
Rebukes Secretary of War for
DismissaIs of Men on Army
Mine Planter.

The discharge of certain American
citizens from the employ of the United
States War Department because they
were not native-born Americans was
made the subject of scathing attack
today, in the Senate, by Senator Jones
of Washington.
These foreign-born American cit
izens SO discharged were employed on
the United States Army mine planter,
Major Samuel Ringgold, and were six
in number.
No Reply From War Department.
More than month ago Senator Jones
introduced a resolution in the Senate,
and had it passed. calling upon the
Secretary of War to inform the Senate
what orders had been issued by the
War Department during the last three
years directing the non employment of
or discriminating between citizens Of
the United States in connection with
the work of his department.
There has never been any reply to
this resolution. so far as 1 know" said
Senator Jones. Il suppose the Secre-
tary of War has been too busy cam
paigning on behalf of the administra-
tion to discharge public business and
comply with the request of the Senate"
Senator Jones denounced the admins
tration for preaching united Ameri-
canism and at the same time discrim-
mating between American citizens be-
cause of their birth.
Champions Alien-Born Citizens.
While we have the right to insist
upon an undivided allegiance and un-
diluted Americanism on the part of
those who have had American citizen
ship conferred upon them, do they not
have the right to be treated by the
government as American citizens in the
fullest sense of the word?' said SEN
ator Jones.
This administration has repeatedly
denounced hyphenated Americans, but it
has done more to destroy an undivided
Americanism. it has done more to be-
little American citizenship. and it has
done more to justify hyphenated Amer
icanisn than any other agency. 1t has
denied TO American citizens the rights
and privileges guaranteed to them un-
der the Constitution purely on account
Instance Is Cited.
Under date of April "a. 1916, the
Secretary of War issued an order di-
recting the discharge of certain men
in the service of the United States on
the United States steamer Rinegold
Why were these men ordered dis
charged?
Were they inefficient? No. We're
they charged with misconduct of any
kind? No. We're they dangerous men?
No. Had they shown that they were
not to be trusted? No. Were they
seeking to advance the interests of
some other nation above those of the
United States? No. Werethey aliens?
No.
'They were American citizens. Why
were they discharged? Solely because
they We're not native born. 1t is in
teresting to note that none of these
discharged American citizens was born
in any Of the nations now at war"
Senator Jones read a letter signed
by Capt. H. D. Colby. commanding the
Ringgold, in which the captain stated
the only reason for the discharge was
that the War Department has Just de-
cided that foreign-born citizens of the
United States shall no longer be en-
ployed as civilian employees ON army
mine planters"

OMAHA, Neb., August g.
One of the most interesting
political situations is found in
Nebraska, which may at this time
properly be classed as a doubtful
state on the presidency, the Unit
ed States senatorship and the
governorship. The question of
which way the state will go
politically will depend largely
upon how it stands on proposed
statewide prohibition in Noyem-
Der.
AS the republican candidates for SEN
ator and governor avowedly support
prohibition and the democratic candi-

becomes political. with the two parties
practically aligned upon it, and the

Women do not vote in Nebraska,
