marriage the sacrament must remain
unbroken. Is it to the interest of socie-
ty that those who despise each other
should live together? Ought the world
10 be pe0pie33 by the children of hatred
or disgust, the children of lust and loath-
ing, or by the welcome babes of mutual
love? Is it possible that an infinitely
wise and compassionate God insists that
a helpless woman shall remain the wife
Of a cruel wretch? Can this add TO
the JOY of Paradise, or tend to keep one
harp in tune? Can anything be more
infamous than for a government to com
pei a woman to remain the wife of a man
she hates Of one whom she Justly holds
in adherence? Does any decent man
wish the assistance Of a constable, a
sheriff, a Judge, Or a church, to keep
his wife ii his house? Is If possible to
conceive or :. more contemrtib.e human
beng than a man who would appeal to
force in such a case? 1t may be said
that the woman is free to 90, and that
the courts will protect her from the
brutality Of the man who promised
to be her protector; but where shall the
woman go? She may have no friends; or
they may be poor; her kindred may he
dead. Has she no right to build another
home? Must this woman, Full Of kind
ness, affection, health, be tied and
chained to this living corpse? Is there
no future for her? Must she be ar
outrast forever deceived and betray-
ed for her whole life? Can she new
er sit by her own hearth, with the arms
of her children about her neck, and with
a husband who loves and protects her?
Is she to become a social pariah, and is
this for the benefit Of society," or is it
for the sake of the wretch who DESTROYED
her life?"

HIM? He has violated the contract. He
mas failed 10 protect, and, i'll addition, he
has assaulted her like q wild beast. Is
she under any obligation to him ? Is she
bound by the contract he has broken ? II
SO, what is the consideration for this

for his sake? No intelligent man will

The next question is as to the right of
society in this matter. 1t must Re ad-
mitted that the peace of society will be
promoted by the separation of such peo-

a wife remaining with a husband who
bruises and mangles her flesh. Even
married women have a right to personal
security. They do not lose, either by
contract or sacrament, the right of self
preservation; this they share in common,
to say the least of it, with the lowest
living creatures.
This will probably be admitted by most
Of the enemies of divorce; but they will
insist that while the wife has the right to

Peterson Bros. Lease $500 Acre Ranch
Curtis and Louis Peterson, prOmi-

TcVcfs sun DEOS. Lcuse OOVV ACtc NOUSlt
Curtis and Louis Peterson, promi-
nent ranchers from the Ryder district,
were in the city today on their way
home from an extended business trip
to the Canadian northwest. On &C
count Of the heavy increase in their
herd of blooded cattle and the fact
that their leases expiring this fall on
the reservation lands which they now
control it became necessary that the
brothers find some other suitable To-
cation for their ranching operations.
They were fortunate in securing q
tract of $500 acres southwest of Ed
monitor, Alberta, we'll timbered, water
ed and comprising an immense tract
Of grazing land along the foothills of
the Rockies, 1875 miles southwest Of
Edmonton. This tract was leased
from the Canadian government at an
annual rental of cents per acre. They
will drive their cattle across country
this summer after their springs work
is done and get everything in readi-
ness for the establishment of an ideal
ranch out in that far-off wilderness.
When they visited the location they
saw large number of elk, moose, deer
and other game and found that the
fishing in several rivers crossing their
tract would delight the heart of the
most particular disciple of Walton.

MICHAEL BOWLING
SPOKE IN THIS CITY
One of the Finest Addresses Ever
Heard in This City Delivered
Wednesday Night

Mike Bowling, of Anoka, Mime
sofa, altruist, humanitarian, and ex-
ponent Of cheerfulness and optimism,
speaking under the auspices of the
Association of Commerce addressed a
large assemblage at the High School
auditorium Wednesday, evening. OW-
ing to the loss of both his hands ana
feet, by freezing, at the age of eleven
years, it is wonderful that this man,
so handicapped has accomplished SO
muclr and remained so cheerful and
optimistic thru it all. At the pres
emit time he stands as one Of the lead
ing statesmen of Minnesota and one
of it's ablest fnanciers. He was
speaker of the House of Representa-
has been President of the Bankers
Association of his native state. He
is recognized as national figure hav-
ing been appointed commissioner to
the Philippines, and last summer went
as special guest of England to that
country to instill hope and cheer
among the unfortunates who were
disabled in the Great War. Here he
addressed audiences thruout the Unit
ed Kingdom, visiting the hospitals and
reconstruction camps inspiring the
men whose, infirmities incapacitated
them from the active pursuits of life.
The address Wednesday evening was
interspersed freely with circumstances
having to do with his experiences
abroad. His message was one OF hope
fulness for the future and many sug-
gestions as to the means which should
be employed to combat the growing
tendency to dissatisfaction and unrest
thruout the land today. He delivered
a bitter TRADE against the Socialists,
attributing much of the discomfort to
their Vaccinations. He advocated a
return to normal living and right
doing. He decried the bitterness and
hatred that has continued to prevail
against our opponents in the late war.
He said that hatred had no place in a
well balanced mind, now that the
source has been removed. He paid a
splendid tribute to the valor of the
American and Allied troops but said
that he was opposed to bringing back
the soldier dead from European soil
where their remains would forever
stand as a fitting testimonial to
France of our recognition of the graf
itude for her assistance during the
dark days of the American revolution
He intimated that the advocates for
the return IF our soldier boys who lie
sleeping beneath the sod in northern
France was mainly inspired by those
who sought financial profit in the
transfer. s
Mr.. Dowling's address thruout was
fined with sober. candid statements of
fact and while the element Of humcr
at times interspersed his remarks the
reasoning Of calm deliberate observ-
er and keen student of the affairs OF
life was ever foremost. It was evil
dent that one of the principal thoughts
which he wished driven home to every
one Of his auditors was that our ma
ton is drifting towards the shoals Of
financial panic and he would sug-
gest that more serious consideration
be given to economy and thrift that
We night be the better PREPARED
against that day.
