Durbin is to be the central figure in
simple ceremonies this afternoon that
will mark the beginning of a new
epoch for that section and mean more
for its industrial welfare than any
thing that has ever taken place be-
fore.
The event is the beginning of work
in the construction Of the East Chi
cago ship canal, colossal undertake
ing that so far has attracted little at
tention outside of the section immedi-
ately interested but the general i'm
portance of which can hardly be over
estimated. The canal is to lead from
Lake Michigan to Wolf lake and its
most important result will be to make
a great port for the town of Hammond
and the surrounding district lying
south and east of Chicago across the
Indiana line The district is already
the location of many immense manu-

ed that with the completion Of the
canal it will soon rival Chicago itself

despcable criminals. They may
strengthen the municipal government
and have public business conducted
in equity and with discretion or they
may wreck the city's finances by cor
ruption and loot. So there are Two
kinds of machines-the right kind
and the wrong kind.
Probably, as generally is hoped, the
political machine of the future will
be an instrument for the propagation
of principals and for the support of
representative tickets chiefly, if not
almost solely, rather than means
whereby parties may be corrupt and
misrule established. The improve
ments in municipal systems, fixing
popular government on a more con-
sentative basis, ought to eliminate
much of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of ma
chine activity. But there seems to be
no prospect that the machine will
cease to be an entity and a factor in
public affairs.
AS long as opinions differ plat
forms will differ; as long as platforms
differ, there will be parties, and as
long as parties exist there will be
need for organizations. The machine,
whether of regular party or of a
civic welfare association, is an integ-
raj feature of government. Monar-
chies and republics have machines,
and always have had, although the
machines are recognized under var
ious titles. Business establishments
societies and all associations have

All the large cities and many Of the
smaller cities have fought in recent
years for radical reform in organic
laws and in administration. These
fights have demonstrated that the peo-
pie are all-powerful when united for
their own benefit, and, on the other
| hand, that they are impotent when
unorganized and submissive.

COLOSSAL TIMBER FRAUDS.

The colossal postal gratis and
frauds that flourished for years under
the Hanna-Heath regime and which
were exposed despite the effort to con-
ceal them by Postmaster General
Payne, who ridiculed all reports of
crookedness in his department as
'hot air." are now being succeeded In
public interest by the exposure of 81
gantic land frauds by which many mil
lions of dollars worth of valuable tim
Der land in Washington, Oregon and
California have been grabbed by cor
porations acting through dummies.
The lieu land law is the cover under
which these land robbers work. The
law was no doubt designed for no
other purpose than to enable certain
corporations to steal the public do
main and at the same time to enrich
certain members of the senate and
house of representatives who labored
to secure its passage. Five United
States senators from the western
states, several members of the lower
house and many land office officials
are said to be implicated in the frauds
which have been discovered. Through
leaks in the land Office at Washington
spectators learned the exact bound
aries of proposed forest reserves and
were able to use this information to
the best advantage. By hiring men

scoundrels guilty Of these outrages
upon the rights of the public with
severity and that none of the shame
less gang will escape.

POLITICAL MACHINES.

Well deserving of profound medi-
tation by all citizens, rich as we'll as
poor, is the relation of the organiza-
ton which is commonly known as the
machine unto the party in whose
name its acts. More deserving of
conscientious consideration is the re-
latiOn that the machine bears toward
public affairs. What the machine as
plres or cOnspires to do is what the
machine is, and by its theories and its
deeds, but particularly by its deeds,
may its character and influence be
positively known.
The reform movements which have
elevated the political standards in the
of principles and for the support of
during the past few years have
achieved success through organiza-
ton. They were inaugurated to dis
rupt machines that had become po-
tential and whose potentially typified
complete degradation. Intrenched
in power by stability of almost per.
feet organization, extending into even
less units than precincts, they had
become impregnable against individu
al forces. Only by mighty opposition
formed by counter organizations
could they be made vulnerable.
Machines may, therefore, render
good Or evil. They may effect good
government or they may effect mis-.
government. They may bring reli

DIVORCES AND THE STATUTES

Upon his return from Europe after
pope, Cardinal Gibbons vigorously
condemned the facility with which
divorces are secured in the American
courts. He expressed the belief that
recourse to this solution of marital
troubles was increasing and that in
it lies the most serious menace to the
welfare of the nation.
This stand by Catholic dignitaries
is to be earnestly commended From
the religious viewpoint divorce must
be condemned, and the more often the
recognized opponents of religious
sanction announce themselves on this
matter the better.
The prevalence of divorce must also
be condemned upon strictly secular
grounds 1t is a menace to the order
and progress Of society.
But it is impossible to absolutely
forbid divorce by statutory law. Nor
is it desirable. 1t would be altogether
horrible to think Of a. woman tied
throughout life to a hopeless drunk
ard or a moral Degenerate. 1t would
be terrible if a man were irrevocably
bound to a partner association with
whom meant rather degradation than
uprightness of the home. But the
frequent act of manufacturing an in
compatibility or conspiring to legalize
an unholy alliance, by which either
party to a union may rush into court
and dissolve the bond, is equally an
adherence. The solution lies in
stricter laws, uniform in all the states
and the most rigorous Interpretation
Of the statutes, upon the part of the
trial judges.
