ADJUSTMENTS AND THE METHODIST
CHURCH.

A rigid observance of the rules Of the
Methodist Episcopal church requires that
church members shall abstain from card
playing, dancing and theater going, but
while Methodists as rule admit the val
lie of the prohibitions. there are many who
to them. Methodists, even church mem
hers, and not merely those who attend
Methodist places of worship, are but hu-
man. and possess the human desire for
society and the enjoyment of sociabi.ity.
They desire and enjoy to have their pleas
ures in common, and the company of fell
low beings gives zest to all sports and
games and means Of diversion, wheth r
lawful or unlawful If a solitary individ-
ual was the sole witness Of q game OF
baseball or a horse race, there would
not be much enthusiasm felt by him. Of
all the games with playing cards ever in
vented, there is but one for a SINGLE
handed player, and that is solitaire. a
game probably designed by Alexander
Selkirk to ward off idiocy during his for
ty years sojourn on desert island. The
enchantment in card playing has two
sources. the greater being the social fea-
ture, and the lesser the exercise of skill.
The question of gambling with cards is
another matter, and involves the love of
gain, but the card playing specially here

OUR DIVORCE MILL.

These two cities arc fast becoming a
favorite resort for those who seek easy
and speedy divorce. They are accessible
to every section OF the country, very

dence, and the laws of the state, if not
the practice of the courts, are now such
that they will bear comparison with those

courts. The court in that case declared
that the conditions which were being
manifested through the divorce courts
were worse morally and socially than
polygamy.
The disposition to rush to the divorce
court, where disagreement exists between
man and wife, has become something of
a popular craze. The sanctity Of mar
severance of the relations upon the future
of the existing children is being steadily
disregarded; and as the proofs in most
cases Indicate, there is but httle If any,
effort made to reconcile existing dis
agreements or to make concessions which
might restore peace to the disturbed
household.
1t is unfortunate from every point of
view that these cities should be in the
way of acquiring the notoriety as centers
of easy divorce which is coming to them

1t is doubtful whether the expressed pur-
pose OF Judge McGee to insist upon tho

any remedy. The great evil Of the di-
vorce system today is collusion. Where
the parties have decided to separate On
grounds which happen to be recognized IS
sufficient by the courts, it is as easy fol
them to secure corroboration as it is to
secure the evidence in the first instance.
AS long as men and women are pre-,
pared to perjure themselves for the ac-
complishment of their purpose collusion
in divorce cases will prevail. The state
has no remedy excepting, alone, the one
Of confining the grounds upon which the
dissolution of the marriage may be grant
ed to such causes as have always been

grounds are few and they strike at the
very root Of the marital relation. So long
as such causes as so-called cruel and in
human treatment, so-called desertion,

of which Judge MCGEE complains are GER

The solution, here and elsewhere, lies
with the legislative authority OF the

THE RETIRING sUPERINTENDENT

The withdrawal of Supt. Smith, which
has just been announced. will occasion
much regret, especially among the par
ents of our school children. In both his
capacities as principal Of the high school
and superintendent he has given the
highest satisfaction He has proven him
self to be an able educator and admins
traitor. His administration has been
auences which manifested themselves in
such variety and with such injurious re-
suits to the efficiency of our schools be
fore his advent.
For the circumstances which of late
have operated to the detriment of the
schools. Supt. Smith has been in no de-
gree or sense responsible. He has con-
fined himself to the legitimate work of his
department and has maintained the stand
ard of education i'll st. Paul at as high a,
point as has been reached In any other
community. The discouraging situation
of school finance has not appeared to
affect the efficiency of the system, and,
Notwithstanding the trying ordeal through
which the teaching situation has been
on, and the parents of the children have
had no reason whatever to condemn or
even to criticise.
1t is a graceful act on the part Of Supt
CARDS as entirely characteristic of the
man, that he has withheld all expression
of disappointment or dissatisfaction
throughout the very distressing contro-
versies which have prevailed. and has al
lowed no intimatien to so abroad of his
purpose to withdraw. Not, indeed, until
all the distress and embarrassment in
school administration which brought so
much disappointment to our people had
disappeared did Supt Smith Indicate his
desire to withdraw from the control of
the educational interests of St. Paul
This circumstance is one for which the
community owes him its thanks aud
which will, no doubt, in the future op-
crate TO bring to himself no small meas
ure of personal qualification
The b e sincerely wishes that the
board of school inspectors Will be able
to find successor to Supt Smith who
wifi show the same measure of profess
sional ability and conscientious devotion
to his trust which has always dlstin-
guished the retiring superintendent
