Ideas upon marriage that may strike
the superficial thinker as somewhat
novel We're exp0unded by DR.. MinOt j..
Savage In the Church OF the Messiah,
New York. His views regarding the
nature Of the marriage compact, Low-
ever, are rational and will appeal to
the intelligent judgment OF all who look
deeper than the brief ceremonial into
the sacred relation which II sOlemnizes.
DIR. Savage called attention to the folly
Of imagining that people can 60 to a
justice OF the peace or to minister,
who acts In this regard as state Of.
fetal, and be married. "rhe state nev-
er married anybody and never can"
declared Savage. ElabOrating this idea
a little further, he said: If people do
not marry themselves ] care not what
their relations may be, they are not and
cannot be married. All the state does
Is to recognize the fact, II 1t exists, and
surround 1t with legal guardianship to
protect the rights Of the parties con-
cerned." After all, there Is nothing
novel about this view of marriage. Any
other conception Of marriage Is IRA
tional. Persons may be legally and
physically Joined In wedlOck without
being married psychologically and spir.
itually. The state has united them In
matrimonial bonds, but they are not
one; they are not married. Their union
Is not a marriage In the highest con-
ception of that term. 1t is plainly Obvi-
Gus, II one stops to think, that the few
words of the preacher or the justice of
the peace cannot establish that union
Of soul and spirit that is comprehended

DEFAMERS OF BURKE BRiN0 RiDi-
GUILE ON THEMSELVES.

All the efforts to besmlrch and be-
draggle Robert Il. Burke have failed,
and with one conspicuous exception
have been discontinued. The exception
Is In the case of an alleged Democratic
newspaper, which quite recently bOlted
It's own party ticket, and Is at present
In condition Of wondering where 1t
Is ut. Everybody understands the AMI
mus OF this publication, and conse-
quently nobody wonders at its contin-
ual exhibition of spite and malice to
ward the Democratic leader.
Mr.. Burke once did something In the
direction of aiding in the establishment
here of a paper which he, and every
body else for that matter, believed
would be a genuine organ Of the Demo
cratic party. Among other things he
secured for that paper the Endorsement
OF every Democratic ward club In Chi
cago, an Endorsement which carried
with 1t a pledge on behalf of every in
dividual member to patronlze said
journal. On this account the alleged
Democratic paper referred to mt the
outset has never forgiven Mr. Burke,
and has never failed to take every pos
sible opportunity to attack him-falrly
or unfairly, SO illogical, absurd and
visibly malicious have been these at
tacks, that their very character has
rendered them innoXuous. They only
bring down ridlcule upon the vehicle
by which they are carried, and do the
object of the attack more good than
harm, since public sympathy always
goes out to the one who Is assailed for
no good reason.
Otner publications which have
wounds, more or less ranking, OF a
similar character have attacked the
Democratic leader more automatically

and figures by professional "handymen''

THE STREETS BELONG TO THE
PEOPLE.

1t Is hoped that the Council, when 1t
meets after Its summer vacation, VIII
take. some measures calculated to put
an end absolutely to the peddling
out OF the streets of Chicago. That
there has been such there are few will
deny who have read the account Of re-
cent proceedings In the various streets
ana alley committees Of the City Coun.
ell.
While not coming under the same
head as the transactions referred to
above, the proceedings mt the Commit
tee on Streets and Alleys West Monday
need some attention. At the meeting
of the committee in question Alderman
Leininger introduced an order prOvid-
ing for the formal vacation of the stub
ends Of McHenry, Redaeld and Raw
son streets and Wabansia avenue, now
practically occupied by the Illinois Steel
COmpany's plant on the north branch
OF the Chicago River. The measure re-
Quired the payment of $1,000 for the
vacation Alderman Minwegen has
said that the land in question is worth
$50 900.
Alderman Connery demands that the
Public Works Commissioner be ordered
to tear out the obstruction at once and
clear the streets but this has been set
aside, and n committee of five appoint
ed to investigate and report after the
vacation period
1t is to he hoped that neither the Ill
nois Steel Company nor any other COR
pOration shall be given undue privi-
leges in the streets and thoroughfares
of Chicago.

MAiLiN0 THE DEFAMERS.

Newspaper criticism sometimes
reaches the level OF defamation, and
this fact was never more strongly IL.
lustrated than in the case OF the Fed

Bi0 VIEW BANK IS OPENED.

OHCtkUS neW Ff,VV,VUV DuHk, tue
Central Trust Company Of Illinois,
was opened at the southwest corner Of
Dearborn and Monroe streets. 1t Is
the institution organized by Charles
q. Dawes, former Comptroller of the
Currency. The bank made the unusual
record Of receiving over $4,5OO,OOO de.
posits the first day. This fact may
be taken as justication for what was
regarded by some bankers as large
capitalization. The Central Trust has
$4,OOO,OOO capital and $1,OOO.OO0 sur.
plus
When the National Bank of North
America was opened, on June 10, 1t
received deposits of $3,OOO,00O. This
broke the record in Chicago. The Cen.
tral Trust now beats this by 100000.
1t Is understood the bank starts with
number Of large individual corpora
tion accounts. The growth Of wealth
in Chicago In the last few years has
made possible such records as that
made yesterday.
President Dawes, speaking Of the
first days business, said:
1--WE had reason to think we should
have considerable line Of deposits.
But It was gratifying to have our ex.
pectatlons actually met. Naturally we
feel pleased Mt the kindly recognition
given the bnnk. In addition to bank
ing and commercial accounts we open
| cd number of savings accounts, some
thing we hardly expected the first
day"
1t Is understood the bank made a
number Of loans around Az per cent
with its S4.OOO,OOO and $4,5OO,OOO de-
posits It has loanable funds Of ap
proximately $7,OOO,OOO. 1t Is probable
a considerable amount Of this will bt
invested In securities. At the same
time, great deal Of fresh money II
brought on the market.
Chicago has now three former Comp
trollers Of the Currency In the capacit!
Of bank presidents. The first to come
here was Il. =. Lacey, who organized
the Bankers National. James II. Eek

. Of the Commercial National. Charlie

zone hundred and sxty-five licen-
sed drinking shops, seven public houses
of i'll fame, and four places that are
notorious as gambling dens-these are
the opportunities and facilities which
Akron offers to her thousands of
young men to become drunkards,
gamblers and socially impure" Thus
spoke Rev. j. G. Slayter, pastor of the
First Church of Christ at the services
Sunday morning. THE Debt Of the
Strong to the Weak" was the theme
of his discourse. which was a stirring
address in behalf of the Y. NJ. G. A.
movement. He said in part:
"The possession of talents. and
wealth brings opportunities. respon-
sibilities and obligations. The world
appreciates no man so much as the
one who realizes these opportunities
and meets the responsibilities.
'"The conditions in Akron are such
that the strong men, the men of wealth
and influence, are in duty bound to
exercise their talents in providing for
the young men a place where they
may associate and be free from the
influence of vice and the vicious
places, which are so abundant here.
''The young men of today will be the
business and professional men of the
city in a few years, but what have
the people of wealth been doing to
counteract the evil influences which
lure the young man? Practically moth
ing.
The Y. NJ. c., A. may not accom-
plish everything, but supported by
the church of God and the good
people of the city it will prove a
strong factor in counteracting vice
and making strong men of our young
men,"
Rev. Slayter was but one of many
preachers who spoke Sunday jim behalf
| of the Y NJ. c. A. movement now
under way in Akron. Strong sermons
| were the rule and the cause in which
they were given was much benefited.
There are 5000 young men in Ak
ron, the number being constantly
augmented by men coming here from
other towns and cities in Ohio and
other States, but the city has no place
of public resort where they may come
together under wholesome and up
| lifting influences. Police records for
the year March 20, 1901, to March 20,
