Governor Dole cannot close bis
his eyes to the fact that it is his
duty to call an extra session of the
Legislature. The majority of the
voters firmly believe that the Gov
ernor's refusal to call an extra
session is caused by some of his
millionaire friends who see an open
ingto free zing out lot of roor
property owners through the strin.
gency of the money market. They
do not claim that Dole is doing it in
corrupt manner, hut they claim
that ha is acting like fool, who
does not know the conditions here
Mr. Dole has been assured by the
leaders of the Legislature that no
attempt will be made at an extra
session to pass county and municipal
acts, and that only revenue measures
will be discussed. The territory
would be relieved OF its present
financial pi!ikis, the very day his
call for an extra session should ap.
pear. Ii merchants want to pay the
running expenses of the Govern
ment they are welcome to do 90,
but they must do it with the full
understanding that the next Legis
lature will never reimburse them,
If Mr.. Dole did not have the power
to call an extra session, we should
not oppose his begging policy, and
we should urge the Legislature to
pay the loans made by him. He

HOLIDAY FOE THE CHILDREN

HOLIDAY FOE THE CHILDREN
Nothing could bring out more clearly
the beneicenee of the institution of the
day nursery at Harriet island than the
proposed reception and entertainment on
the island which is being prepared by DR..
Whitcomb. 1t is intended to secure the
attendance on the occasion of as many
of the children of the city who have not
sucn opportunities presented to them as
possible. The little ones in the hospitals
and in the various orphan asylams and
other public institutions whose lives are
spent more or less in confinement and
.ent The programme of entertainment
will be such as to bring the greatest
measure of joy to the Juvenile heart,
while the efforts which will be put for
ward in every direction by those in
charge leave no doubt whatever that the
day will for the children be one of in
finite enjoyment and will be productive
of the best results on their health.
Such an occasion as this has it's prin-
cipal value in the leveling of all social
distinctions and in the entire absence Of
all suspicion of charity from the event,
Any child, or number of children, rich or
poor, may attend with their parents or
guardians on the occasion and may share
in common with all others the delights
which will be presented to the youthful
ina gination.
The days are growing short during
which Harriet island will be available
for popular enjoyment. The public will
be invited to make the most possible OF
the opportunities which are offered and
this and similar occasions are designed
by those in charge of the island as in
tending to bestow upon the public the
fullest measure of advantage which

TREATMENT OF SERVANTS.
The Cornhill.

The CornhiH.
It should be remembered in the first
place that servants are not superior to
the rest of humanity, and that gratitude
Is a rare virtue and generally snort lived.
A servant-or anybody else-may feel
grateful at the time of receiving a kind
ness but you cannot expect him or her
to go on feeling grateful forever, which
is, gather what people generally ex-
pect. Must we have full payment for
every little kindness we do? For graft
tude certainly is a payment, though the
check by which it discharges it's debt be
,cashed on the bank of our vanity or
self-complacency, instead Of being paid
direct to the account of our pocket or
our personal trouble. Then "considera-
ton means many things. 1t may mean
a weak indulgence or a moral torpor, as
we'll as just regard for another's rights
or difficulties, and a. servant will never
thank you for going without what you
are too lazy or too cowardly to insist
upon. believe that what appeals to,
what is most valued by, servants is JUS
tice, an attitude toward them and their
fa1lings not determined by the caprice
or mood of the moment, but by the
merits of the case; a self-control on the
part of the mistress equal to that de-
manded from the maid. I have always
thought it must be almost unbearably
trying to stand still and be found fault
with, without being allowed to answer
back. even If one were wrong, and if
one were, perhaps, partially in the right,
or had a fair excuse If not an adequate
reason for ones shortcomings, how hard
to be properly respectful! Justice is the
crown of authority, and authority fifty

kindness, will, in normal conditions OBJ

THE CHURCHES IND D1roncE.

Whatever one may think of the public
universally agreed that the evils of state
divorce law are manifold and extremely
dangerous to American society All tho
efforts that have been put forward dur
existing divorce laws may be said gem
orally to have emanated from civfl
authority. We do not recall any occasion
in which the intervention of. the church
was directly felt except in the slight
notifications which have recently been
wrought in the South Dakota divorce

The members of the Episcopahan
church are naturally looking forward
with much interest, as indicated in these
columns to the forthcoming general
convention of the Episcopal church to be
held in San Francisco on Oct. 2 The in
terest in this event is mostly due to the
accented belief that the canons Of the
church will be directed toward prohibit

listers
This great question of marriage and d.
vorce is not accepted by Americans as
a matter entirely of church discipline or
dogma. but the influence of the church re-
mains none the less controlling factor

subject That influence has not been ex-
/ ercised at all, or, at least, as generally
as 1t should be exercised
The position of the several Christian
churches on the divorce question is not
generally understood. One of them, the
Catholic church, stands boldly in the
foreground in its finsistence on the prin-
ciple that whom God hath Joined no man
should put asiif1der. The entire theory
of our civil law is against the dfviiie
origin Of marriage, and treats that insti-
tuition on the basis Of a civil contract
Whether we regard marriage as sacra-
n9ei1t or as a contract, 1t remains true
that the Catholic church has received lit
tie or no cooperation from its sister
churches in maintaining the civil policy
represented by this doctrine. AT any rate

marriage is but a civil contract and Ia

one direction or another by either of the
contracting parties
Whatever attitude any given Church
may take on this score 1t remains true
that the influence kof the church. while
least exerted in the direction of securing,
reform of the abuses of the law, is
capable of producing better results in

Monroe doctrine at the full hazard of
war with one or more European
powers. the wisdom of Sc maintaining it,
and, indeed, our moral ability to do so
is extremely doubtful. We have advanced
to a point in our relations toward other
nations far away from that which we
occupied when President Cleveland drew
the Monroe doctrine from it's scabbard
in the Venezuelan difficulty. Mr.. Depew
anlp1ifies his view of the practical sig
nificance of the Monroe doctrine to Eu-
rorean nations by adding in his inter-
view the following:
1.-The railroads in South America have
been built with foreign money, and mines
are developed and worked. decks ard
warehouses constructed. banks organized
anu rum and every enterprise caPi al-zed
and made possible by the lavish investnf ut
OF English. German. French and Italian
capital. The amount runs into tremend-
Gus figures, and these governments ave

Mr.. Depew closes his interview en- this
subject by declaring: '1f we ever have
serious trouble it is more likely to come
from cur fixed purpose on this question
than from Eastern complications or COM
mercial rivalries." We have no fixed
purpose on this question; and Senator
Depew, as prominent member of the

The Monroe doctrine is dead, and it

which we can ever justify any obligation

Central American states, or to exercise
control over their political destinies is
by annexing them. No American states
