THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. FRIDAY, MARCH I, 1909. t 8 LEGAL SEPARATIONS Divorces are Nearly Equal to the f Marriages. HUSBANDS ARE OFFENDERS Judge Fraztr of Portland Saya That Most of the Causes for Divorce ' Are Due to Mean and Brutal S Husbands. U is estimated that over one thou mid divorces were granted In Oregon last year. Nine-tenths of the divorces in Multnomah county and practically the entire state are due to the meanness of the husbands. The divorce laws of Oregon are none too lax Jn fact, 1 am surnrised that so many women Btand tlie abuse which Is heaped upon them by men who are not fit to be husbands. There Is never a divorce granted without cause, and in many Instances there is more than, a good eause." : Such is the opinion of Judge A. L. Fraier concerning the so-caled "di vorce evil." In very few Instances, in his opinion, is the divorce law abused, and in a great many more cases It Is not taken advantage of wheh there exists abundant cause. Although there are a large number of divorce granteJ In Multnomah county each year, the number, says the Judge, is not out of proportion to the rest of the state or to any other community in the United States of equal population. "Of course." said the Judge, "there are instances where giddy and foolish women marry when they have no busl- sess to marry. In thees cases they are to blame, and there is a slight abuse of the law. But in the great majority f; cases it Is the fault of the husband. Some men will treat a woman worse than they would a beast, and expect her to submit to it. Here there is no evil in a divorce, but more properly speaking a blessing. A person woald not believe that men could be so mean until eviJenec is heard in a number of divorce cases and note the abuse heaped upon uncomplaining and noble wives.. ' , , ' "In such cases it cannot be said there Is an abuse of the divorce laws, but an abuse of human laws, and the most sacred laws of heaven. Women will endure a great deal before they appeal to the courts for relief, and when they do the relief afforded by the divorce laws 5s never more than sufficient. 1 would not advocate more stringent divorce laws because as it is I think women are made to suffer more than they should.' Edward De Moss, who signed the com plaint. Thoy said they were not mem ber and had bought drinks there. Their evidence wis not accepted by Judge Hogue, who wild he was ready to dismiss the defendants.

MOKES HAVE CLUB, Not Violating Law By Selling Strong Drink, Portland, March 2. Because the Colored Cooks", Walters', Porters' and Janitors' Club, of 10 Xorth Eighth street, is run on the same principle as the Arlington, Commercial and Uni versity Clubs, a case of selling liquor without n license against J. H. Wil lis and John Hedspeth, managers of the club, was practically dismissed when called before Judge Hogue in the police court this afternoon. An attempt was made to show on the part of the defendants that their arrest was caused by some of the colored saloon keepers ot the Xorth End. These sa loonkeepers the defendants alleged, were losing trade because of the ex istence of the club. There was posltlv evidence to show that liquor was not sold to outside people; only members buying drinks. A. G. Griffin, a colored newspaper man, testified against the club, as did Mrs. Cody on Stand. Xorth Piatt, Xeb., March 2. Mrs. Louisa Cody, for 40 years the wife. business partner and helpamte of Col, W.
