The Better Way

Hearty congratulations to the young Ohio man, who, upon learning from his wife that she loved his friend more than she loved him, turned over to her major portion of their joint savings, expressed his willingness that she cast her lot with the other wishes as they departed the town.
 It was highly immoral, illegal and irreligious arrangement, to be sure. But look how decently they arranged it.
 ''There was no scene or fuss about the affair."" the dispatch said. 'It was the most matter of fact transac- tion imaginable
 So many people overtaken by such situations conceive it necessary to do some impromptu emotional acting. They weep, tear their hair, wipe their red noses and eyes, and drave of their blighted hearts. Or they talk drink (if such is available) get a gun, do some shooting and call upon the un- written law superstition to make them out heroes rather than sceundrels.
 We suppose unlucky husbands and wives carry on like that because they understand it's the proper thing to do in the circumstances, the correct way of showing themselves persons pos sessed of proper feelings. We sup pose they get the impression from what they read of like cases in the newspapers. So, by way of rebuttal, we venture to invite attention to this modern instance of the better way 4< h1I T 4o ,1o+, guarded approval the husband who forfeited a wife without staging any melodrama or manslaughter to solve his chagrin or prove his spirit. We can all hold our private opinion of the wife's judgment and other qualities. All the traditions of honor condemn the friend. The plan they adopted was unseemly-usage requires a few formalities that take time. Maybe the husband showed himself a dull lover, blind plodder or some other kind of chump. But he was game, and he had sense enough to see that shipping wife is no good reason for killing anybody.
 Studying Humanity
 Do you ever try to guess the dispo- sitions of people from their faces? It is amusing, because it is so uncertain. You are almost sure to make a many wrong guesses as right. Of course with those you know, it isn't hard, and therefore little fun. It is only the strangers that make it interesting.
 There is your naughty lady, who goes along with her head high,. and who is very likely to get fall just because her eyes are not watching her path; the indifferent one who fails to see anything with those half-closed eyes; the one always in hurry; the lady calm and sedate, and slow to an- ger; and close behind is the maid with a quick temper.

Rome, Nov. 18.-Heated debate,
during which Premier Giolitti de-
Tended his political record and the
policies of his government, preceded
the vote of confidence given the cab
met i'll the Chamber of Deputies
Wednesday. A socialist member
censuring the governments internal
policy was defeated, 202 to 83.
Socialist deputies violently accused
the premier of being a reactionary
and supporter of the nationalist
followers of Captain Gabrielle dan
nunzfo in their opposition to the So
cialists. The premier answered that
his entire past was protest against
such an accusation.
In 1898, he continued, Il refused
to dissolve the Sicilian unions, which
were the first serious socialist man
ifestations in Italy, and in 1901. when
] proclaimed the liberty to strike, all
conservatives considered me a revo-
lutionary much more dangerous than
you socialists. Believing in the po-
litical, economic and social ascend
ancy of the proletaria., granted
universal suffrage even before the
socialists asked for it. You, your
selves, do not believe I am a reac-
tionary."

about as low as shey can be. The
present decline i'll the prices of can

Dereliction of
Tank Steamers
Cause Of Big Loss
Failure to Utilize Bulk Oil
Carriers Cost U. S. $3,OOO,-
600 in One Month, Wit.
ness Says.

New York. Nov. 18.-Failure of
the tank steamer department Of the
United States shipping board to
utilize its fleet of bulk oil carriers
for the needs Of shipping board YES
sells, caused loss to the government
of $3000,0O0 in one month, Martin
y. Gillen testified before the Walsh
congressional committee inquiring
into the shipping board transactions.
Gillen was special assistant to former
Chairman John Barton Payne last
May when, he said, the alleged dere-
ltctlon occurred.
The tank steamer department had
81 vessels, he added. OF these, 20
were in the hands of private opera
tors. 1t was discovered on May 26
last, that the 81 vessels were tied
up at southern ports for lack of fuel
oil, and in addition, 40 per cent of
the operators were buying oil on the
open market for 81 to $6 barrel.
At the same time he added, 80 per
cent of the oil we were carrying in
our ships was furnished at $207 a
barrel"
Foley Relieved.
Gillen further testified that this
condition of affairs was disclosed
through complaints of two operators.
Captain Paul Foley was then head of
!! the tank steamer department, he
said, and 1T was ascertained he did
not know that ahips were compelled
Ito buy Oil at a higher price than
could have been furnished by the
board Captain Foley, he added,
was later relieved OF his duties as
head of the tank steamer department.
In response to question by Con-
gresham Kelley, Gillen said Foley
was now director of operation Of the
boards entire fleet of more than
l,l00 ships, including the tankers.
I Chart Shows Operations.
| A chart that was made of the tank
steamer operations, Gilleh testified,
showed that 50 were in government
service and others in semi-private
and official work. Some were op-
Grated for the benefit of public utili-
ties and some in the service of sup
plying oil for shipping board fuel
| stations abroad. Among the opera
tors, he named the Standard Oil
companies of New York and Cali
fornia, the Vacuum Oil company,
/ Atlantic Refining company, Ameri-
can Fuel Transportation company
| Island Oil company, the France and
Canadian Steamship company and
others.
He added that last May this couri-
try, as we'll as the entire world, was
short of tankers. On the open
market such ships were being char
tered at from SIS to $22 dead
weight ton, he said. The shipping
board was leasing its tankers, he
added. to private companies at from
$6l5 to $3.50 a tor.
! The tankers were described q
"tfc only floating property this
government then owned on which
a profit could have been made"
I The witness declared nosrofic ir
the entire division of operations
knew that such large percentage
of our ships we're buying oil in ths
open market at advanced prices be
cause the operating division did moi
know what one of its chief depart.

his seat. The faces of both Leflangs
were drawn with anxiety as they
waited.

Ecision in this case" began Judge
Sears. II have reached decision

pleased with it, it is a decision"

attorneys $1,000 in fees and urged
that the Lef!angs agree on sohpc
school for Chester.

among attorneys regarding settling
of fees. Leflang stood at the door
Of the court house as his wife passed
out. He looked at her, but she did
not return the glance.
I Il wanted separate maintenance
was Mrs. Leflang's only reply when
asked if she was satisfied with the
decision. She refused to state
whether or not she could get along
on $3.50 month and what she
thought of sending Chester away
to school.
II am satisfied with the deci-
SION" said Mr.. Leflang. ~The mat

dence of insanity is introduced thai
it is the burden of the state to prove
that insanity does not exist"

Coffey referred to the possibility o.
O'Sullivan scoaching his witnesse.
and charged O'Sullivan had arranged

the "profaning Of Dunlap's, deat

TO its local unions throughout the

forward to secretaries of local
branches Of the organization, which
represent producers of grain, cot
ton, wool and live stock, said to
number 100000.
Is Retaliation Measure.
The proposed strike was urged in
retaliation for what the convention
considered abnormal defation in
prices OF farm products. through
which, it was asserted. American
farmers have been robbed of l,000,-
100000 in reduced value of products
now on hand. All farmers were
urged to hold this years production
from the markets until profit max
ing levels were restored.
Reduction of production in the flu

Concerning the St. Louis meeting
to create national farm marketing
board, Charles S. Barrett of Union
City, Ga, who was elected president
of the union for the 18th consecutive
time, said today:
Find Market Plan.
THE purpose of the meeting is
not to form or create corner, but
to find reasonable, rational way to
market our products. The urban
population should welcome such a
step, as it is the instability of the
market that has caused inflated
prices for them and Debated prices
for the producer"
Other resolutions adopted at the
Aecuuve session, officials said to-
day, included one urging strict en-
forcement of the immigration laws
and deportation of aliens seeking to
overthrow the government.
