the 100000 to 100000 eligible
voters was the principal foe ad-
vocates of suffrage had to over
come. Women failed in q plebiscite
about two years ago to poll the
required number of votes, and
commonwealth officials indicated
this election might be their last
opportunity to become enfranchis-
ed.
Schooled for three centuries un-
der Spanish customs wherein the
women's place was in the home,
Filipino women long have left pol
itical affairs to their menfolk.
But under the constitution un-
der which the commonwealth is
governed during the 10 year trans
ition period prior to complete in
dependence in 1916, women over
u who can read and write were
given the privilege of deciding for
themselves whether they should
have a voice in the government.

poor persons cases and undefend-
ed divorce suits to be heard in
provincial courts. Now nearly a
fifth of all English divorce cases
are heard by judges outside of
London and the judges do not
like it. They find wherever they
go spate of divorce cases await
ing them, in addition to criminal
and ordinary civil actions.
Bench Comment Bitter
Justice Sir Reynolds Warren
Swift in Birmingham recently put
back divorce cases on his docket
so that juries dealing with ordin-
ary business of the court should
not be detained longer than neces-
sary. He accompanied the action
with biting comment.
Justice Hawke, at Manchester,
asked counsel why a divorce case
had been taken there when the
parties lived in the south of Eng
land.
Il dislike it intensely" he COM
mented, finally agreeing to hear
the case.
In divorce action at LeWes, the
woman was said to be living in
Paris and the man in London.
Lord Chief Justice HeWart, sitting,
asked why this rubbishy case"
was brought to LeWes. He was mol
flied when informed that the wit
nesseS to the adultery charged in
the complaint lived at Brighton,
nearby, and that inquiries had been
made before the case was admitted
to the LeWeS docket.
One Check Cited
The Lord Chief Justice said he
was glad to know there was a
check on such cases being brought
into the provinces.
The upshot of the matter was
announcement by N. B. Goldie,
M. P, that he would bring up the
question in the House of Commons,
asking for ruling by the attorney
general that no undefended di-
vorce case other than a poor per-
sons case shall be entered at an
aSsize town.
The only exception he made was
where the petitioner or respondent
has a permanent residence within
the county served by the court, OBJ
viously striking at London social
figures who choose a provincial
court in the hope of avoiding pub
licity, little enough under drastic
English law, the case might receive
in the capital.
A legitimate reason, however, for
seeking to have divorce cases
heard in the provinces is the
crowded condition of the London
courts. So long is the waiting list
of London divorce cases that nine
months to year may elapse before
a case is heard. In the provinces
cases can be decided within few
weeks. There is agitation for ap-
pointment of at least two addi-
tional judges for the divorce divi-

Simpson Case Starts NeaV
British Divorce Procedure

LONDON. U.P)-When Mrs. Err
nest Simpson slipped out OF Lon
don and got a 10-minute divorce
at Ipswich from Justice Sir John
Anthony Hawke, her case started
a train of events apparently des-
tined to close provincial divorce
courts to all except the resident
poor.
Despite Mrs. Simpsons close as
sociation with King Edward at
that time, Justice Hawke looked
aSkance at transfer of the case
from London to Ipswich. He was
told that Mrs. Simpson was living
at FeliXstoWe nearby.
Since the Simpson divorce. kings
bench judges including Lord HeW-
art of Bury, Lord Chief Justice of
England, have raised increasingly
loud voices against the growing
practice Of sending undefended
divorces to provincial aSsizes.
Until 1922 an English divorce
was obtainable only in London
Then provision was made enabling

TUNNEL BUILT
FOR STLDY OF
NINE LIFE

FRONT ROYAL, Va. (UP)-To
improve underground working con-
ditions affecting the health of
miners and TO increase the knowl-
edge of metal mining. a research
tunnel has been established by the
Federal Bureau of Mines at Mt.
Weather, near here.
The last tunnel is on a govern
ment reservation. The work is in
charge of Wing G.. Agnew, resi-
dent engineer, in cooperation with
the weather bureau and the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Problems studied in the expert
mental tunnel with a small force
of regular workmen include tech
nical Investigations of rock drill
ing. and the formation and pre-
vention of dust caused by blasting
rock drilling, loading of mine cars
and underground transportation.
1t was explained by the Bureau
of Mines that the site of the re-
search tunnel here was selected
because the prevailing rock was
especially suitable for conducting
drilling tests. The work is similar
to that being done in the coal in
duStry by the Bureau of Mines
experimental mine at Bruceton,
Pa, where the prevention of coal
dust explosions has been studied
The tests at MI. Weather also
were expected to reveal new data
regarding the comparative eff
ciencieS of rock drill bits of differ
ent steel alloys and carbon steel.
Findings will be published by the
Bureau Of Mines when tests have
been completed.

REQUIRED READING

No part of a dictatorship looks funnler, to in
habitants of a democracy, than its newspapers
And one of the funniest developments of all
comes from Berlin, where a law journal suggests
that under Nazi law it may be misdemeanor to
fail to read the daily papers
1t seems that in a vast number of trials, wit
nesses and defendants have pleaded ignorance Of
some Nazi rule or edct because they hadn't been
reading the papers.
The courts have got fed up with this, and are
instructing all such persons to mend their ways in
stanter
Such rule is logical enough.
What inducement is there to read the newspa-
pers, in land where every journal is under the
thumb of government ministry of propaganda,
where all the news is filtered and colored and no
writer dare disagree with the dictator?
If you are going to have that kind of newspa-
pers, you might as well have law forcing people
to read them for otherwise constantly increasing
part of the populace is apt to leave them entirely
alone.-Greenville Piedmont.

MINORITY RULE

The news coming out of the strike-torn steel dis
trcts Of the country indicates that there are thou
sands of men still at work in the steel mills and
thousands of others who would like to be at work,
and who would be, were it not for the fact that
the mills are picketed by men who do not hesitate
to do bodily violence to those who attempt to en-
ter. The question Immediately arises as to whether
it is right to prevent from working when
ne wants to work, and whether the governments of
our country are going to permit any group, no
matter how large how small, to prevent man
from going to his work, regardless of where it is.
3 It would be an easy matter for as few as 100
men to stop every industrial plant and close every
business house in Albemarle if they decided to do
such thing. That is, unless the industrial plants
and business houses were given the protection to
which they are entitled by the authorized agencies
of government. And it is not far-fetched idea to
believe that such time may come when exactly
that thing will happen, in view of what has hap
pened in other parts of the country.
Entirely too much encouragement has been given
labor leaders by the present administration and the
present congress. 1t is difficult to predict to what
extent the inevitable reaction will affect the future
industrial history of this country, but the progress
which has been made along other lines by the
Roosevelt administration will be Offset by the back
ward step which is to come in the field of indus
trys relations with its employees because of the
unwarranted encouragement given to irresponsible
labor organizations.
A firm stand must be taken by the citizenship Of
the country regarding the rights which a citizen
has. If we are to be content to allow what is ap-
parently a minority to disturb the industrial and
business life of a nation to such an extent as to
affect our economic independence, it is high time
that were scrapping the constitution, and turn
ing the whole thing over to Observation-Disclosures

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THESE NEW DEAL ADVENTURES

y The Chicago Daily News warns that liberty is in
retreat and collectivism the march in the United
States 1t reminds that the Rooseveltian adven-
lures have been imported from Europe The dole
and currency tinkering are English. Work relief
is German and Italian. The CCC was modelled on
the labor camps of Bulgaria and Germany. The
abecdarian agencies are reminiscent Of Soviet Rus

the executive is Fascist Price fixing, control of
wages and hours in industry and of production and
prices in agriculture are both Fascist and Commu-

society and centralized power that the ancestors of
most Americans came to this country. "They came

Little by little, the American people have been
losing their liberties however the New Deal says to
the contrary. Their freedom to come and go, to

document to suit the whims of the gentleman in

It is unfortunate for the American people that they
have come under the influence of European expert

with Americas recovery. Government did not bring
about better times but government can, in short
order bring about depression far worse than that
