society and Divorce.

A great deal OF comment has been
created by the sermon OF fashionable
clergyman In Newport, who appealed
to society TO come 10 the aid of the
church In its effort 20 dlscountenaDce
divorce. The attitude OF the preacher
In this matter attracted wide attention.
because Il was held TO be an acknowl-
edgment that society had more infiu-
ence than religion In shaping the NOR
ais OF a community. But the divorce
question is so peculiarly a social rather
than a religious question that this con.
clusion seems rather hasty. IL Is the
irregulation Of divorce. II one may use
that term. and not any general sinful
ness In divorce itself that Is causing
the trouble. Society undertakes TO con-
troll or at least to regulate the matter.
and II has made such mess OF IL that
religion itself cannot rectify the disor-
der. So long as every state has d.
vorce law which is opposed In some
respect to the divorce laws OF all the
other states. but which Is held 10 be
legally and socially binding In that
state and not out of II, we shall have
persons OF loose moral natures avail
ing themselves OF the mere contrariety
OF those laws TO carry out their own
purposes. That the growing feebleness
OF the marriage tie is disturbing the
cohesive integrity OF society there can
be no question. Moralists, lawyers,
statesmen and clergymen agree sub
stantially that society itself ought to
correct this evil simply from sense
Of self protection. In that view Of II
the Newport clergyman was perfectly
right and had In no way acknowledged
the inefficiency of religion. II the so
cial set supposed to be congregated at
Newport were to withdraw its favor
from all persons who get divorced
with no other purpose than to make
indecently hasty marital arrangements
with other persons, II would throw a
corrective damper on the whole busi-
ness. 1t is soclety's duty to do this ms
q conservative measure. 1t will thus
be aiding the moral law without as
Stunning any moral prerogatlve.

WRITING HEADLINES.
Short War Names Were n Boon TO the
blue Pencil Artist.

blue Pencil Artist.
Now that the war Is over and the
$20,00o,000 has been paid to Spain, 1t
may us well be admitted that the con-
flict was almost made to order for the
men who write the newspaper heads,
for newspaper headlines are arbitrary
things that must contain just so many
letters and no more.
Imagine man trying to say in
20 letters that the United States
battleship Massachusetts had bonn
barded the Notifications ata Buenos
Ayres, Argentine Republic. He would
probably emu by writing, "Massachu-
sets Shoots" Again, fancy state Of
affairs that would necessitate an ex-
PLANTATION that Roosevelt and Aguinaldo
had met In personal encounter In the
Philippines. Fortunately, the rough
rider and the lnsurgent chieftain re-
manned on opposite sides Of the globe,
for which the head writer, and. per-
haps. Aguinaldo, may be thankful.
OF all the names that figured promi-
ncntly in the recent war few Of them
are Of unwieldly proportions. To start
with, the Maine WINS blown up. That
was an easy one. Spain was convicted
of having hand In the work. Spain
and Maine-both short, and, besides,
calculated to inspire the poet to pa
triotic endeavor. Cuba was the scene
of the land conflict-another short
word.
The first individual to come into es-
pecial prominence was Dewey. He
fought before Manila, ON the island of
Luzon. These three words. all brief,
have been almost map of the eastern
situation. Calumpit and Malolos, while
somewhat longer, are fairly easy to
handle, and the name of General Otis
will fit in almost anywhere.
The ships of the American navy that
were most frequently mentioned dur
ing the war were the Oregon. the
Texas, the Brooklyn, the New York,
the Olympia, the Raleigh and the Petrol.
Others, of course, came In for notice,
but such vessels as the Massachusetts,
and the Philadelphia were not among
the fighting craft that had opportuni-
ties to particularly display themselves.
Other short names that were promi-
nently associated with the conflict
We're Mckinley, Alger, Long. Shafter,
Wood. Brooke. Grant, Funston. Wheel
or, Schlcy, Sampson and Houston.
Blanco at Havana and Sagasta at
Manila were easy to form into COM
binations. and when Guam was taken
another little word was added.
The most unwieldly names were
Philippines, Agulnaldo, Agoncillo, Porto
Rico. Santiago and Roosevelt. The
Spanish ships were ballasted by names
of heroic proportions, but they didn't
last long enough to count Chicago

tenat4e and advantageous position the
democratic party instead Of trying - in
vest OF capture it or improve its oceupa-
tion by just criticism has snlkily taken
uP position Of opposition ON less adj
vantageOus grounds aud opposed the oo-
eupatioh Of the enemy in such a way as
to seem il not 10 be in reality in opPOsi-
tion TO the position itself as well as to
its occupation. And 50 il has come to
he the wonder Of the world that this
great American party has 80 continually
weakened its force and character by con-
stautly shifting and compromising with
its most irregular and anarchic elements.
In the last campaign when 50 many men,
among them the most learned in the
land, through fear Of its startling theo-
ries and demonstrations arose and took
positions above party considerations.
many were for n time surprised that the
great party did not cut loose from aud
slough of some of those lawless, disor-
DERBY, socialistic and inconoclastic ele-
ments and take such conservative and
consistent position as would command
the respect of mankind. But close ex-
animation revealed the fact that to do
that would have trimmed off all that
portion below or behind the ears. And
SO it went to defeat, as well as it might,
with its members intact. Such has been
the general results of long and almost
unbroken succession of republican adj
ministrations, each of which had some
relations TO the others, and each of
which had more or less dependence on a
general current of events which was
more or less common to them all.
But now the country has suddenly
burst into new conditions. One of those
upheavals which always succeed centur-
les of the conservatism of thought, of
mental and material accumulation, old
and silent systems and many concealed
individual relations to the government
is about to occur. Men most prominent
in both national and state positions are
shaping themselves for the fiercest politi.
cal contests both general and local ever
witnessed in this country, as innocent as
everybody may appear. There are indi.
vidual moves that are Enthusiastically
presaging wrath, which if it is of that
kind of wrath of man which is made tC
praise God will be sufficient to praise
Him through all eternity. Statesmen
and politicians (and those terms are fast
becoming synonymous) will soon be
called upon to meet new and untried
issues and methods old methods will be
thoroughly turned up and aired.
We may have occasion to note some Of
the details of the stirring times just
ahead of us but our present purpose il
simply to call attention to some of the
leading conditions and influences in the
past and to the signs of the times indi
eating crisis in the affairs of men il
gross and in detail in which men will b,
called upon to stand on their feet fol
country regardless of personal considera
tons or consequences.

In nothing has our country shown Its
expansiveness so much as In the size
Of the f1recracker Time was when
this ingenious device Of the evil one
was about the size Of boys lead pen
ell, and everybody knows that that Is
never over two inches long. Then 1t
grew to be about the size Of a modest
tomato worm. 1t was also growing in
assertion. 1t was put under the edge
Of barn or under the front yeranda.
and 1t never burned down more than
one barn out Of five. The patriotic
youth of so years ago bought these in
nocent things by the hundred and
slung them with joyous patriotism in
the faces Of FESTIVE horses and fright
ened girls without causing any very
serious gaps in the population. But
now the enterprising youth boards his
money to accomplish one firecracker.
But he has 1t sent home ON a truck,
and as the family take to the noun
tains the fire department and the in:
surance agents put cotton in their ears
and wait for 1t to 60 off. At the same
rate Of progress in the firecracker we
shall arrive in another half century at
a condition Of things in which the
Fourth of July will have only one re-
port, and after that all will be silent.
The marvellous part Of it all Is that
the small boy, who Is bent on blowing
up everything else, does not, as rule,
get blown up himself. The other day
he took his firecrackers and began to
play In his guileless way very close to
q shed containing several hundred
pounds Of dynamite. What puzzles the
people for radius Of three miles,
whose houses were all wrecked. is that
the small boy came out whole and still
wears look Of innocent triumph.
