BLOT ON MODERN SOCIETY.

BLOT ON MODERN SOCIETY.
 Rabbi Newneld. of Temple Emanuel said:
 T believe it discloses awful facts in our modern society. It is evidence of the ex- istence of very disagreeable facts in mod ern social life. Either the sanctity of the home life is not truly appreciated or on the other hand the responsibilities of family life are not realized.
 Tt is a symptom which goes hand in hand with modern decadence in all spheres of modern civilization. Divorces are increasing. Statistics prove thst even in Puritan New England these symptoms are very much in evidence. While l do not know the exact figures of the last census, I believe that 2500 divorces have been granted annually in the New Eng land states during the past ten years also believe in Massachusetts, which boasts to be foremost in all civilization and culture, one out of every twelve mar riages were annulled by the courts
 "rhe trouble seems to arise In the fact that the home life so essential to good morals and formerly so dear to the Anglo Saxon is constantly and gradually decay ing. The same hands are wrenching away the old safe guards In the streets and hurry of modern life the home has to be looked upon a mere contract between the sexes. an asylum for the sheltering of infancy. a lodging house for the old and an eating place for the grown. THERE MUST BE A CHANGE. "All these things will have to change, The change must come if our civilization | is to endure. What applies to conditions in general applies locally with magnified force The rapid growth of population and the material increase in wealth de- mands It's sacrifices. Men and women | not having the reliance on a home look | ,,pon their duties not from the side of | responsibility, but of pleasure They do not wish to burden themselves with l even the sweetest of human duties. the | care of infancy.
 Again our local conditions have pro- duced an astounding and terrible de- valuation of human life, where shootinss on the crowded street corners go unpun- ished, where human life Is so little re- garded, no wonder that the life of a tiny infant is carelessly and oriminally dealt with.
 Tt is not enough for the authorities themselves to wake up, the press. the pulpit and the people must be thoroughly aroused. We must be brought to a pro- found appreciation of human life in high places as well as low. In tho cottages the work of regeneration must take place, or else the day of vengeance and retribu- tion will oofne."
 The Rev. John 0. Murray. rector of the Church of the Advent, would not give an interview yesterday, but stated he would attack the conditions from his pulpit.

the better.
The institution is to be a

is clearly evident from the com-
mittee's action in the Introduction
Of the substitute bill, that they

their discreet silence and refusal
to give any information concern

shown by its actions that its mem

Boer convoy which had been discover
ed five miles ahead.
The Canadian front was attacked
in strong numbers but they gallantly

CHINESE SHUT out.
.New Law More Drastic Even Than
the Statute Now in Force.

Washington, April The house
today passed the Chinese exclusion
bill after Incorporating in it seveal
amendments which increased the
drastic character Of the measure. The
principal one not only excludes sChl-
neseasby birth and descent but all
Chinese Of mixed blood. The chief
struggle was over an amendment to
prohibit the employment Of Chinese
sailors on Amearicn ships. An
amendment covering this proposition
at first was ruled out on point OF
order, but subsequently was modified
to eyade the ruling and was adopted,
100 to 74.s AS passed the bill practi-
caly reenacts all the existing exclu-
sion laws and Incorporates with them
the existing treasury regulations.
5It extends these exclusion laws to
the Philippines and the other posses
sions Of the United States and forbIds

sessions coming into this country.
