w ECENT disclosures in New

lcntly have revived Il general dis
cussion OF the whole problem OF di-
vorGc. That fraudulent practices in
divorce granting should bc summarily

cVelyhody. Tho broader question is
whether legitimate divorce should DE

and should be deprived of the oppor-

afford should be literally administered.
They do not create causes for divorce;

Judge Arnold undertakes to prove
from Scripture that desertion is an
allowable cause for divorce. AS for
barbarous and cruel treatment. he
points out that in the days when the
Scriptures We're penned the position
of woman in the social scale was such
that wife-beating was both legal and
common, whereas today it is one OF
the most abhorrent of offences We

HE SUBJECT of an ideal
| newspaper, temporarily OBJ
Il scured since the conclusion
of Rev. Mr.. Sheldons expert
| ment with the Topeka Capital, has
been revived by Rev. DR.. Parkhurst. OF
New York, who il quoted as authority
for the assertion that a group of
| wealthy citizens of New York intend to
start one. Their idea. as outlined, is
to found u newspaper chat will tell
the truth that will print all the news;
that cannot be swayed by advertisers
or business: that will have limitIess
enterprise and be without fear: that
will lead public opinion; that the people
will believe;" that. in short, will be
absolutely true to the highest convic-
tions Of public duty.
\ proposition of this kind appeals
strongly to the imagination: the more
strongly among those who idcalize
greatly in their daily thoughts. We
should be glad to sec the experiment
tried. under the most favorable initial
circumstances. 1t might do good. 1t
Gpuiu 1pL 10 ndIlll. Even llS failure
would not destroy the beauty of the
endeavor.
In the meantime, in communities
where ideal daily newspapers abso-
)utely independent of all business con-
siderations and keyed to the very high
est notes in public life. do not exist
and are not likely soon to exist. the
opportunity is already open to citizens
desilous of better standards of journal
ism to confer with discrimination upon
existing papers their patronage and
support, choosing the best rather than
merely the cheapest or the most SEN
sational. putting their appreciation in
substantial form behind those papers
which. upon the whole, judged day by
day and year by year, approximate
mos. closely to the higher and cleaner
standards.
Men having to make expenses in the
publishing business are likely to fit
their wares to the public demand. The
editor edits the public far less than the
public edits the editor.

healthy morals in regenerating de-
cadent state.

Now that the money ratio is out OF
discussiom a new ratio arises to vex-
the ratio of representation. At present
congress has 351 members. or one to
1I3,9O1 population. This ratio was es-
tablished on the basis OF the census os
1890, but now u new census has been
taken, and to continue the present
membership one member could be
elected only for 100000 population,
which would re-arrange the represent
.tation of a number of the states. Penn
sylvania, for example. would gain one.
ON the other hand, Maine would lose
one, and without taking into account
the suppressed vote in the South there
would be u general shaking UP. The
ratio must be increased. because al
ready the house has exhausted its ac-
conmodations. Whatever decision is
reached must be reached at the coming
session; and 1t is apparent that no
proposition is free from difficulties.

ENFORCING LIQUOR LAWS.


From tile Wilkes Barre Record.
The organization known as the Mems union in
l5ckawailna, Is beginning to sec some fruits as
the result Of It's labots in behalf Of reform and
stricter enforcement Of the laws. One OF the
reforms the union has aimed at has reference
to the wholesale violations OF the liquor laws
At great expense evidence has been secured
against persons who violate these laws, and the
court OH Monday dealt with the first batch

were revoked and one constable was removed
from office for failure to report violations OF the
liquor laws in his bailiwick. Another con-

license is a serious loss. license in Soranton
represents in itself money value OF not less
than $500 to say nothing OF the expense OF Il
trial, the fines. possible imprisonment, ana loss
OF business. The seven Scrantonians referred TO
lost their licenses and will be compelled to
close their houses because they persisted In dong
business on Sundays the same as on other days
of the week.
How many violators there are in Lackawanna
county Is not easily asccrtaincd, but it has been
estimated that they number not less than ON.
The crusade against them has just commenced.
This includes those who have been selling liquor
without license US we'll as those who have
licenses but violate the provisions OF the license
laws. Possibly the crusade will cause greater
respect for the laws on t"e part "i
those who have up TO this time escaped
detection. The Mems union has had to
fight at considerable disadvantage. The grand
jurcs have evidently not been much in sympathy
with the reform, for we notice that many bliis
