The Divorce Question

The obvious purpose of the Episcopal
church is to discourage divorce, in the hope
that greater discretion will be shown in
choosing husbands and wives and in the be-
lief that married people will be more faith:
full to their marriage VOWS if the remedy Of
divorce is surrounded by severe restrictions
and the opportunity to remarry is stringent

that these are worthy objects, while the
subject plainly presents many serious dlf-

ton of vigorous provisions on this subject
is steadily growing in the church, and it ia
to be hoped that this growth is indicative
of a similarly increasing sentiment outside

Rob the American Consumer

The Dingley tariff exacts duties so high

out of American markets That is to say,
our own iron pipe makers demand and re-
ceive protection against the importation of
iron pipe made in Glasgow, because they
could not compete against the ''pauper la
Dor" of Scotland, but they can go to Glas-
gov, 5000 miles away, and deliver iron pipe
cheaper than the Glasgow maker, who has
seem that the Glasgow and not the Ameri.
can iron industry needs protection. Our
mills and factories are underselling the coun-
tries OF Europe in their own markets and
at good profit, but the American consumer
is charged a great deal more, because it is
necessary to protect American industry"

ODE TO THE GROWLER

The homeliest thing ever made by man,
Since the first old days of the world began,
Is that vessel domestic, the quart tin can.
Fashioned of iron, as when Tubal Cain
Wrought at a forge with his might and
main,
IT is timed; also, tits uncommonly plain.
But man, with the skill of Intelligence fine,
Has put 1t to uses that make it shine
With glitter that rivals ruby wine.
For on summer nights, when the heats in
tense,
And finance is reckoned in nickels and
cents,
1t is filled up with beer, and it's just i'm
mense.
Rolling the duck" is the term some choose
To describe the can when It's Full Of
BOOZE"
On the way where its contents will be Of
use.
"Chasing the duck" is another plan
To allude to the old fashioned quart tin
can,
When serving it's purpose-befriending
man.
w men pdldlcS eiit itdiiy iuohy III
And the can on its message of mercy doth
fly,
working the growler" Is the term to
apply.
While "loading the bucket" is idiom queer
Still who will deny It's sufficiently clear
TO describe the can, when It's foaming
with beer?
Here's to the "growler," the bucket" the
crock"
May kindly good fortune permit us to mock
At the arrows Of fate while we're quaffing
our book.
