Some years ago the church that allowed
its pastor a vacation every summer and
closed its doors for a month or so was
the exception. The clerical vacation habit,
however, has grown so rapidly that a
large proportion Of all the churches i'm this
country, especially city churches. have a
season every year during which they hold
no services. There is considerable discus
sion as 10 whether this custom has been
carried too far and in It both religious and
secular newspapers are participating.

severe condemnation OF alleged abuses of
the growing practice of closing churches

CHAIRMAN JAMES M. GRIGGS
AS NEW NATIONAL FIGURE

seems to be without a ripple, there is no
question but that he feels TO the full ex-
tent the responsibility which attaches to
the pilot of the Democratic party through
a congressional campaign. The questions
of literature and speakers, the question
of funds and the perplexities OF selecting
a clerical force competent and adequate.
although each is a large one, each IS met
and settled with the same calm delioera-
ton and the same quiet dispatch.
Chairman Griggs has no political wor-
ries at home He is quoted in the Con-
gressional Directory as a Democrat or
Dawson" He was born Al years ago at
LAGRANGE, Ca When he was % he was
admitted to the bar of his state as a law
YER Two years later he was elected
prosecuting attorney OF the Pataula judi
cial circuit. Next came his appointment
as Judge of the same circuit, and twice
reelected without opposition. He was
elected to the F'ifty-fifth, Fifty-sixth ana
Fifty-seventh congresses. The last time
there were only "A votes against him in
his whole district. He has been renomi-
mated and il he does as well for the DEM
oeratic nominees TO congress as he will
for himself in his own district, landslide
will be the result.
Judge Griggs has an unbroken record
for winning in politics. There are some
who are banking on this record to pun
the whole party through at the next cleo
ton Mr.. Griggs, however, is not rest
ing on his present laurels; he Is after
fresh ones.

nlvoRcE IN NEW YORK.

Probably no state in the union has
furnished a greater number or a larger
proportion OF divorce suits than New
York. The divorce laws of New York
have for years past been VIGOROUSLY lax.
1t has been an easy matter to break the
marriage tie in that state on trivial COM
plants and pretexts. These abuses have
been carried to an extent that aroused
the public conscience and caused the New
York legislature at it's last session to
amend the state divorce law In several
particulars. The most important of these
amendments provides that no judgment
of divorce or of the annulment of mar
riage shall become final until the expira-
ton of three months after the fling of
the judgment.
The purpose of this enactment is evil
IDENTIFY to prevent the collusive divorce lit
legation which involves the contracting Of
another marriage conditional on the sew
erance of onerous conjugal ties by the
court, and which is generally consum-
mated Immediately after a judgment is
rendered.
1t had become a very common occur
ence for one or both parties to a divorce
In New York to enter upon a new mar
rage contract almost Immediately after
their former matrimonial bonds were an
nulled.
A few years ago even fast New York
society was shocked, or pretended to be
so, when a man and woman who were
very prominent in the four hundred OBJ
tanned divorces from their first partners
at noon and were united in the holy"
bonds Of wedlock at o'clock the same
day.
1t may seem a great hardship to such
rapid New Workers to have to wait three
whole months after being divorced before
they can marry again in that state, but
the new law is decidedly in the interest of
public decency.
Another amendment to New York's d.
vorce law makes IT a penal offense for a
lawyer to advertise in the newspapers
that he makes a speciality Of divorce
suits or to solicit them personally or by
proxy.
This is a timely blow at a class OF
shysters who have scandalized the legal
profession and done much TO increase the
number of divorce suits in New York. 1t
will be easy enough to keep their adver-
tisements out of the newspapers, but I'M
possible to prevent them from fomenting
divorce litigation by surreptitious meth
DDS
The divorce evil has struck so deep into
the vitals of New York society Of high
and low degree that its legislative eradi-
cation. or even it's mitigation to any de-
c,ded extent will probably be impossible.

- AMES MATT HEW GRIGGS, repre-
sentative in congress from the Sec
ond Georgia district and chairman
of the Democratic congressional
campaign committee, is a personality OF
which Washington as yet knows very lit
tie.
Mr.. Griggs has just made his initial
bow as a national character, The slight
pause which follows the bow, as betoken-
ed in the present luI before the artillery
of the campaign thunders, bespeaks Tor
him a native modesty.
Is this large-framed, blUe-eyed and quiet
hammered son of the south the Twenti-
eth-Century Moses who is to lead the
American Democracy into the promised
land. freed from trusts and furnished with
a free-trade plenty?
This is the question which not only
washington but the whole country. is
asking. Perhaps as an indication that the
new chairman is Eft he refuses to an
swer in the way of election forecasts.
Instead he is holding frequent counsels
with the men who are charged with finan-
cling the campaign; he delves deep into tie
mysteries of ''close DISTRICTS; ne puts
in a little peg here. and CANS attention
to a Republican loophole there.
With It all he is sanguine and pleasant.
