SPOILED WOMAN AND
OUR DIVORCE SYSTEM

A Tribune reader has invited at
tention to the following letter from
Professor Wolcott D. Wilson, APP
pearing in the San Francisco Bull
letin. The reader in question is
herself a woman, but gives full en-
dorsement to the sentiments ex-
pressed:
Il have visited almost every CIV
ilized country in the world, and l
state emphatically that America is
the only country of them all in
which mankind is held in actual
contempt by womankind. In no
other country on earth is woman
so spoiled, SO petted and coddled,
SO exalted beyond all bounds of
truth and reason. Here a woman
comes first in all things = is hail
ed as a superior being, wholly be-
yond and above man, and so, nat
urally, when the least cloud ap-
pears on the horizon she at once
betakes herself to the divorce
court, certain Of getting the best
Of everything and anything as re-
CARDS her despised spouse, whose
word is seldom given more than a
perfunctory hearing by the judge,
while every word she utters is ac-
copied as gospel truth, and is SO
printed in the newspapers. And
often she robs him by the alimony
route as well-just for good meas
ure.
"This divorce system of oursais a
disgrace to America and to civili-
Zation. For in all the world there
Is no manhood so chivalrous to
woman - so considerable of and
generous to her in every way-as
American manhood. And yet in no
country on earth is this very chiv-
airy and consideration SO little ap-
preciated by women as here. All
judges know this to be true, but
very rarely make rulings to alter
it. Women are mentally smaller,
narrower. more selfish and intol-
Grant than men, and in the divorce
courts Of America do not hesitate
to take every advantage of their
sex against the men who are so un-
fortunate as to be their husbands.
The record of the divorce courts,
and courts in general in America,
is one of exaltation - I might al
most say dedication - of the fe-
male sex, and universal condemna-
ton and injustice to the male -
whenever his opponent is a woman.
Gall women know this. They
zee and hear of it every day of
their lives If they follow divorce
court proceedings - and that is
why there are so many divorces.
And the judges of courts do little
or nothing to change it. And then,
too, it must be admitted, in miti-
cation Of the judges rulings, that
in many cases the mans chivalry
allows the wife, guilty though she
may be, to make all the charges,
to which he replies nothing. Oh,
tempora! Oh, mores!
"WOLCOTT D. WILSON, Phi. D."

Conflicting reports were received in

Darby Goa Mining company had
given its employees ina notice that
they would be ousted from their
homes If they did not return to work
within FIVE days.
The other report, emanating from
a high official. did not deny that
calm prevailed at the but 1t
more than minated that ii was the

told of a number OF riot guns and one
machine gun which the radical eie-
