Divorce Proceedings.
The following parties hivo filed peti
tions for divorce at tho next session of
tho circuit court:
Rosa M. Haskins vs. John llaskins.
Plaintiff says : that they were married
in Roseburg, Oct. 25, 1S93; that sho has
been a good, truo and affectionate wife,
but that John has mado her life misera
ble by cruel and inhuman treatment;
that at Myrtle Creek, on Nov. 1, 1S9G,
he, in tho presence of witnesses, called
her vilo names; that, tho same month,
ho took a stick and beat her with it ;
that, at Yoncalla, ho called her vile
names and beat her again with a stick
in tho presenco of witnesses ; that John
is a strong, lusty man, but will not
work and that she has to hire out to
support horsolf and six-year-old boy and
that ho has not contributed ono cent
towards tho support of tho child. She
prays for divorce and custody of child
and costs of suit.
James Inman vs. Emily F. Inman.
Tho plaintiff, in his petition, alleges:
that they wero married at Beaver Falls,
l'a., July lMiy, ana havo over sinco
that timo been, and now are, husband
and wife, they camo to Douglas coun
ty in IS J2; no children aro living; that
up to Oct. 15, 1901, everything on his
part was honey and molasses, but a split
up occurred on that date and that sho
quit his bed and board without his
knowledge or consent and he prays for
divorce. It seems a pity that these old
folks cannot patch up their differences
and get along together.
Wilbur Drollinger wants to be severed
from Allie Drollinger. They were mar
ried in Douglas Ounty, Ore., Dec- 15,
1S95. That they have resided in this
county since that date, but tint no olive
branches have twined their tendrils
aronod the household stoop. Of course
Wilhur has been dutiful, affectionate
and a good husband, while Allie on April
15, 1901, jumped the martial obligations
and has continued to live separate ever
since. That his wife, Allie, for some
time compelled him to get up and make
the morning fire and cook his own break
fast while she remained in repose and
that he was compelled to also cook his
lunch and supper; and that Allie was
gadding about the streets mashing des
reputable men all of the evening and
often much of the night staving out as
late as two o'clock in the morning. That
Allie falsely acensed Wilbur witli paying
too much attention to other women,
which was false. The defendant prays
for general relief and equity.
The Problem ol the Race.
"The prejudice of race is a pointing of
Providence, and the antagonism of peo
ple is tho fixed policy by which God
peopled the different portion of the uni
verse, and established the individuality
of tho nations, "is the way John Temple
Graves puts it." The act that brought
these people together on this continent
was a sin of the fathers, a sin of greed,
an iniquity of trade, and tho sorrow and
suffering of the present is for the sin of
the past, a sin against nature and a sin
against God. Tho curse can be lifted
only when nature is vindicated and God
oboyed. The problem will be solved
only when tho negro is restored to the
bounds of his habitation."
"It is neither impossible nor impracti
cable. Tho elements are willing and the
way is within reach. This is not a day
of impossibilities. Tho hand of the
Almighty is steadily opening tho way
It may be that the islands of tho sea
were placed by Providence in our keep
ing to furnish an answer to tho problem
kf the time. The negro is an accident.
an unwilling, a blameless, but unwhole
some, unwelcomo, helpless, unassimil
nblo clement in our civilization. Ho is
not mado for the times. Ho is not made
to share in tho duty and the destiny
which ho perplexes and beclouds. Let
us put him kiudly and humanely out of
tho way. Let ua givo him a better
chance than ho has ever had in history
and let us have done with him. Let us
solvo his problem, frankly, fearlessly,
nobly and speedily. Let us put it be
hind us. Let us purify onr politics of
tho perplexity. Let us liberate tho '
south to vote and think liko free men !
upon the mighty issues of tho times."
