Weinbaum is, or was, a clothes presser earning Sra a week, and supporting himself, his wife and four children, The wife died, and Weinbaum was confronted with the prob- Jem of looking after his four little ones and at the same Lime being away all day at his work, “He managed it some- how for a few months, and then got a new mother for his children on the only terms open to him—remarriage. But there are beauties in the marriage and divorce sys- tem which sometimes appeal as strongly to the wives of poor Mevils like Weinbaum as they sometimes do to the adventur- ous entrappers of millionaires. The clothes presser’s new wife soon complained that the children made too much work, and demanded that they be put in a public institution. The father refusedl, and the wile feft him and his little ones and promptly applied to court for G4 a week support, and a judge granted the plea. The $4 a week might have been so many millions so far as the man’s ability to pay went. The other day he was arrested, his arrears, with costs, amounting to $207.58. He was sent to Ludlow st. jail until the amount is paid. Of course he is not earning anything in jail, and the prospect of his ever paying the $207.88, to say nothing of being able to look after his children, is remote indeed, The head keeper of the jail thinks there may be some- wrong with the law when it can imprison a man like this reasons like these. But maybe the jail keeper has permitted himself to be swayed too much by his sympathies. Maybe the calm, impartial judgment of the disinterested public will not sustain him.
