HOLD UP THEIR HANDS.

The Globe sincerely hopes that
the ill-advised effort to revive oppo-
sition to the movement for the pre-
vention Of the smoke nuisance has
found its final ending through the ac-
ton of the assembly at it's last ses-
sion. It is hard to understand how
such a movement could have original
ed or have been prosecuted save in
the promotion Of those selfish inter-
ests which are interested in ignoring
munity in their determination to econ
omize in their expenditures at the eX-
pense of the public.
The health department has shown
throughout its crusade against the evil
that it is ready to make every conces-
sion, and to save individuals all unnec-
essary expense or annoyance in the
enforcement of the provisions of the
existing ordinance. The chief, If not
the only, opponents Of the present reg
ulation, outside of politics, are those
existing regulation. 1t has not been,
as the attempt has been made to rep
resent, a question whether hard or soft
coal shall be used. It is and has been
simply a question whether necessary
and really inexpensive precautions
would be taken by those carrying on
manufacturing industries, or main
tanning large buildings in the commu-
nifty, which would save the public.
Careful firing, proper coal and the ex-
istence of some simple contrivance to
promote more perfect combustion are,
as The Gil b understands 1t, the
chief, if not the only, precautions in
sisted on by the health department.
These are nothing, and the refusal to
meet them argues not over-creditably
as to the public spirit Of those who
have opposed them.
Except in a single instance,
Glob has sustained DR.. Ohage since
his advent as health commissioner. 1t
opposed the imposition on the local
dairymen by the health department of
a contribution toward the expense OF
the inspection of their cattle-a course
which, we believe, DR.. Ohage pursued
against his own judgment-and the
courts sustained the contention. e
Globe will continue to sustain him
as long as he proceeds as he has thus
far He is evidently single-minded in
his desire to sustain the rights and
interests of the public. The people be-
lieve in him; so does T he Clio b e.
He has justified the faith thus far, and
we believe he will continue to do so.
It is a pity that DR.. Ohage's efforts
in so many laudable directions should
have met with so much opposition.
But private interest will always as
sert itself against the public welfare.
It has a right to protection, and h e
Globe will unite in protecting any
such interest that is unfairly dealt
with by the health department or any
other public agency. No substantial
ground of complaint has thus far been
shown against the operations of that
department, however. If we are ever
to realize the grand possibilities of
increased beauty and health and prog
ress which are within our reach as
municipality, we must hold up the
hands of all bodies, whether public or
private, which seek to advance them.

INTERNATIONAL COMBINE IN
STORAGE BATTERY BUSINESS
1t Comprises This Country, England
and the Continent.

NEW YORK, Oct. T.-It has just
been learned that another information
al combination has been formed in the
storage battery business which practi-
cally controls the patents and manu-
facture of storage batteries in this
country. England and the continent.
The deal was accomplished, it is said,
by New York f1nanciers. 1t was &C
complished by the purchase of the
English company controlling the man
ufacture of storage batteries as well
as the ownership of certain patents
which hold good not only in the Brit
ish isles, but in the leading countries
of Europe.
1t is said to be the intention of the
new interests to begin process of de-
velopment work abroad, which will go
hand in hand with the manufacture OF
electrical machinery

MARRIAGE AND MURDER.

The country has been shocked dur
ing the past two or three weeks by
series of f1endish murders of unoffend-
ing people in different sections of the
country. In all such cases the MUIR
ders were the outcome of divorce pro-
ceedings, and the victims of them were
principally those who were in no de-
gree whatever responsible for the pro-
ceedings in divorce.
The latest case of this kind has hap
pened in Mount Pleasant, Mich, re-
sulting in the death of man and his
wife and child of the murderer who
has wounded himself probably fatally,
in the effort to commit suicide, the
murderer having proceeded on his ca
reer of crime directly from the court
house after a perusal Of the papers on
record demanding the divorce.
Concurrenty with these shocking
recitals the daily press dispatches con-
tain reports of marriages performed
under sensational conditions, and ap-
parently without any understanding or
care whatever on the part of those
engaging in them of the seriousness Of
the undertaking. This is the class Of
marriages from which divorces inevi-
tably spring, and 1t may be said that
they are the original cause, in a good
proportion of the cases, of the MUIR
ders and suicides which have been so
general of late.
Not an ill-advised or hasty mar
riage ever takes place that does not
bear it's crop of human unhappiness
and crime. Yet the laws of the differ
ent states are in such a chaotic state
or the subject Of marriage that a pre-
MUM is set on just such marriages.
Our own state, for instance, makes
reasonable provision for the regula-
ton of marriages. A license is neces-
sary before a marriage can be pro-
cured. But the neighboring state
of Wisconsin has a marriage code
which is lax enough to enable
those of this and other adjacent states
who seek to engage in the relationship
clandestinely to do so by crossing over
the border into that state.
Day after day the divorce courts of
this stage bear witness to the inevi-
table results of marriages performed
among our own people within Wiscon-
sin territory; and, with reference to
this immediate locality, Hudson, Wis,
has, indeed, an i'll repute as the scene
of ill-assorted and unwise marriages.
Nor is this evil the worst of the many
which arise from defective state mar
rage laws. In some of the states,
like New York, the marriage ceremony
can be dispensed with entirely, result
marriage relation known as the COM
mon law marriage.
1t is of little avail to talk of the
adjustment of the divorce codes of the
reasonable basis as long as this state
of things continues. Whether we re-
gard the marriage as a sacrament or
as a mere civil contract, its just and
proper regulation by the several states,
on some basis of uniformity at least,
is essential to the entire sanity of
American society.
There is no interest and no element
of society which is directly inter
ested in the remedying of this shock
ing evil, unless it be the church. 1t
seems to The Clio b e. that the Chris
tan ministry of the country is lax in
its obligations to God and the state
alike by not taking some positive and
