RHODE Island ministers are work
ing hard to prevent the remarriage
of divorced persons. Two hundred
out of three hundred have agreed to
make the remarriage as difficult As
possible. Sixty-three of the number
have refused to marry person of
another denomination. than their
own who having been divorced could
not marry again according to the &C.
clesiastical laws of that denomina-
nation; eighteen agree not to marry
a person who has been divorced for
any cause; in cases where divorce has
been granted for unfaithfulness, lis
ministers declare they will only SOL

The Rural Carriers Salaries

The prospect for living wages for
the rural postal carriers seems to he
bright. II S cert in that the justici
the, r claim for increased salaries Is
recognized by many at Washington,
and this is the first important step,
President Roosevelt has indorsed
the recommendations made by Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow in
his annual report, urging an advance
in salary from 5000 to 750. A bill has
been intr oduced in the house fixing
the salary at 500. and a senate bill
has been introduced giving the rural
carriers $3.50 year for subsistence in
addition TO the present salary.
Out of all these propositions some
me asure of relief seems very likely to
come. The rural carriers today are
underpaid for the work they do and
the expense that is imposed on
them. Congress ought to recognized
the great value of their services by
paying them living wages.

SENTIMENT Sc n 1i1,lj mt FOR
ROOSEVELT,
Straw Vote Now Being
Taken ACROSS the River.

To ascertain something OF the SEN
timent of the East Side toward Pres
icent Roosevelt, a few business men
and workingmen have inaugurated a
movement somewhat in the nature of
a straw vote. While not designed as
a close communion club, the ex-
preston of sentiment is taking the
form of an organization that may be
developed later, If desired.
The men who have endorsed action
at this time, take the position that
there is no more an excuse for an
deposition candidate to President
Roosevelt this year than there would
have been for opposition to Presi-
dent Mckinley four years ago.
Under the scaption of the new or.
Iganization are the words of Mr..
Hanna, which are thought to be very
appropriate just now: LET well
enough alone,
The endorsement of President
Roosevelt Is in the following words:
"Recognizine that our government
its principles and ideals are deperd'
ent upon an expression of the peo.
Plies will, we take this means OF
showing our appreciation of the un-
hinching integrity, business capacity

To THE objection made that Gen.
Wood has received promotions over
his superior officers, we would only
repeat what is said by Presiden,
Roosevelt is his message:
THE only people who are satisfied
with a system of army promotions By
mere seniority are those who are con
tented with the trfunphs of medi
ocricy over excellence, and II seems
possible to devise a system in which
the opinion of the higher officers

Does God send them or does
He permit them to come"-a
difference in rhetoric but not in
thoughts one of the grave
questions propounded, and many
others are the questions and an
swers brought out. Oh we'll, af-
ter we have grown weary with
adding many words let us be
honest and admit that we know
absolutely nothing about it, that
Gods ways are past finding out,
and that in His own good time He
will make it plain.

A RUGGED CHARACTER.

Last week there appeared in
our city a noble specimen of
American manhood,a man of stall
wart frame, with classic features,
long, flowing hair, muscles of
steel and the elastic step of a
youth. That man is Captain
Jack Crawford. Captain jack"
as he is Familiarity known, is one
of the first class attractions on
the American lyceum platform.
He is famous in America and
we'll known in England, but as
many of our citizens do not seem
to know him we will take the
liberty to say that he is doubt
less the greatest living ~ex-scout;
at least we question that there is
any that stands as high in every
sense as Captain Jack. He is
veteran Of the civil war and of
the Indian wars which followed
some years later.
He was one of the handful of
men that opened up the Black
Hills to civilization, he was in the
Custer cam paign and he himself
named Custer City. It was he
who made the famous ride for
the New York Herald, of which
so much has been said in praise,
and it is he whohas raised tens of
thousands Of dollars for the
worthy poor and unfortunate
children Of soldiers and others in
need.
Captain Jack is star of greater
magnitude on the 1yceum plat
form; he is a poet of rare talents
the author of many prose stories,
an eloquent speaker and a refn-
ed christian gentleman.
We wish that every boy aud
girl incur city might have listen
ed to this noble man, and had
the privilege of grasping the hand
of one who has done so much for
humanity.
Captain Jack anticipated a
hearty reception by the old vet
Grams of our colony, but only a
few of these welcomed him and
but few attended his entertain
ments.
We were exceedingly fortu-
nate to secure this rare attrac-
ton on an open date and we do
sincerely regret that so many
missed this opportunity which
may never, in this town, be pre-
sented to them again.
