AIimony for the Husband.

ANS Wy Shdi'
The idea of a court granting a divorce to
a man and ordering the woman to pay
alimony to him is very repulsive to Amer
leans, no matter who or what the woman is.
The action of the Belgium tribunal before
which the Chimay case was tried. in grant
ing the prince Sl5, 900 a year from the Amer
lean heiress who married him and then de-
serted him, will stand as the most remarka-
BILE in the annals of divorce decisions. 1t is
not stated whether the decision gives the
poor prince the privilege of marrying again
and continuing to claim the alimony.

Everything has at least two sides, and
has its legitimate quota. A quarter of a
million seems a large sum to be spent
outright in embelllshing n social func-
tion for the few while the many are
suffering for the necessities of life, but
on the other hand the diverting of such
an amount of money from the Golfers Of
the rich into the legitimate channels of
trade is a circumstance which ought
not to be overlooked.

The ministers who signed the lauda-
tory police petition now admit that they
had not read the charter embracing
the proposed change. Hardly anyone
else had read 1t, for that matter. But
hardly anyone else would omit to read
it before committing himself to such
an endorsement and recommendation as
that to which thirty-three ministers
names were recently appended.

Triumph of Diplomacy.
nhlIaIntnlIn nlnay

The welcome news that the Venezuelan ar
bitration treaty has been signed tells the
world that peace has taken the place of war. A
few months ago there was loud talk of war
over a tract of swamp land in a wild corner
Of South America, and there were grave
fears that the United States would be drawn
into this conflict by its determination to
maintain the Monroe doctrine. But the in
PREVENTION of the United States has had the
opposite effect. 1t has led the quarreling
nations to adjust their dispute by arbitration
instead of by fighting, and the result is a
triumph for honest, peaceful diplomacy. 1t
is an occasion for great rejoicing in North
and South America and England.

One of the slgners of the ministerial
petition appeared before the Howell
committee Mt Lincoln to protest against
placing the mayor on the police board
again. But he said not a word about
the police department being "free from

tion," or about its deficiency, harmony
and discipline" The ministers have
had their eyes opened since they signed
that petition.

A BOOK entitled Reading from the
Bible, introduced i'm the Detroit
public schools by the board, has been
ruled out by "a decision of the Circuit
Court holding that it is i'm direct con
ilict with the constitutional provision
which reads THE Legislature shall
pass no law to prevent any person
from worshiping Almighty God ac-
cording to the dictates of his own
conscience, or compel any person to
attend, erect or support any place of
religious worship, or to pay tithes,
taxes or other rates for the support
of the Gospel or teacher of religion -
The Detroit Judge decided that the
provision against compelling person
to pay taxes for the support of "a
teacher of religion forbids the use of
readiug7 from the Bible i'm the public
schools, and that the teacher reading
them is teacher of religion.
