that here all the teachers can board in

Bicycle Stealing in This Town.

who were dissatisfied with the net profits
from their regular occupation, saw what
they believed to be a genuine bonanza in
stealing and selling for cash as many bicy

of their activity that came from riders
and from the developments in court indi-
Gated that the thieves most sanguine ex-
pectations were often fulfilled.
Just how the returns from cycle stealing
at the present time can he sufficiently allur-
ing to make the business desirable is hard
to understand. The price Of a trst-rlass
wheel to-day is not more than one-half as
much az it was in 1928, and the rates al
lowed by dealers for machines that are
secondhand are too low to be credited by n
person unfamiliar with them. That the
thieves, as rule, dispose OF their plumber

Mr.. JAMES II. ECKELs n gentleman who,
It may he remembered, vas Comptroller OF
the Treasury during the second Cleveland
Administration, has given to the Nec York
Times his present views on tho political
situation The gist OF them Is that the
Democratic iurtv ia demoraiiYed and the
Repuh.rnw party is responsible for the
calamity. since lit ruGht to make impossi-
bic the continuance nu the part OF the
Democrats " the leadership which has
characterized that party since 1896
That is rather curious accusation; 30
far ms wc can recall it is without a prece-
dent in political polemcs. How can the
Republican party bo held responsible for
the continued leadership Of Nj. BRYAN
III the Democratic party? Moreover.
II shat leadership Is rs disastrous as
Mr.. ECKELs makes ont, might it not be

can they find fault with the Republicans
for not making il impossible for them
to follow the leader they want to follow ?
And how underline sun can the Republicans
mako it impossible?
Mr. ECKELs's answer is that "the Repub-
lican party ought, with the advantage pos

THE Law OF MtRRI1GE
Bishop Seymour Explains His Proposed Cam
on for the Episcopal Church on Marriage.

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUH-Sir: / anu
sincerely obliged to THE sUN for it's kindly
editorial notice OF my letter to the Churchmdn
on the subject OF marriage and divorce. and
now ask the privilege Of responding to THE
SUNS request for Information.
My proposed canon would bring before the
bishop or presbyter such cases only as had
been legally adjudRed void db initio. or from
the beginning and the jurisdiction Of tho said
bishop or priest would go no further than to
decide whether the parties. after they had OBJ
tained such decree. were even then suitable
subjects for the solemnzntion Of holy matri-
mony. The marriage IA affirmed to DO abso.
lutely void. but, notwithstanding. 1t might
be that one OF or both the parties might
still he unfit to receive the blessing OF the
Church In the solemnization OF holy matri-
mony As. for example II the original
alleged marriage was secured by one OF the
parties passing himself or herself off as an
unmarried person In that case the guilty
party would have committed the crime OF
bigamy. and II he were to enter into a new
alliance 1t would aggravate the crime. and in
such a case a clergyman. OF course. ought not
to off1ciate.
Ny position. then. lie briefly this:
]. That marriage lie indissoluble.
O. That no clergyman OF tho Church should
marry persons who have procured divorce for
any cause arising after marriage.
g. That in cases where the causes existed
prior TO marriage. tho only redress in the eye
OF the law Is for legal declaration that such
marriage Is null and void from tho outset
4. Such cases could only come under the
jurisdiction OF a clergyman when they rested
upon such legal declaration OF a civil court
and the extent OF such jurisdiction would be
only 40 far as to inquire whether the parties
were suitable subjects for holy matrimoDy rs
Is now the duty OF every clergyman when
asked to use the marriage service.
In regard to the case alluded to by THE Sun
l would say It has not the slightest bearing
upon my canon. The decree OF divorce in that
instance was based on the ground Of desertion.
and the statement that the marriage was null
and void db initio was based upon the private
consensus OF four eminent persons who are
alone responsible for their assertion They
doubtless thought they were correct in their
assum ption but they were. as subsequent
events proved. in error as to the facts. My
proposed canon would have nothing whatso-
ever to do with private opinions and declara-
tions. There must be In the first instance n
decree OF 4 competent court that the parties
were never in reality married. or else the case
could not come under the purview Of any
clergyman so as to allow him to solemnize the
marriage. He must have the legal finding of
a court or he could not take single step in
the matter.
