RIPE FOR A SCARE
upon the matter of divorce suits. The
growth of divorce is the crying evil Of
the day. II undermines the whole
family life. Unless 1t Is restricted by
sumptuary legislation the whole social
system must eventually be endangered.
Our church recognizes but one
cause for divorce. Until this canon
becomes universal and Christian con-
science becomes thoroughly aroused
against existing conditions there can
be no adequate relief. The ministers
should act, the church people should
stand together, the bar associations
should study existing laws and pro-
vide plan Of proper revision for uni
versal adoption. Thus could public
opinion be aroused.
II would not favor the South Caro-
lima plan of not permitting divorce for
any cause. 1t could only work untold
hardship and result in an intolerahle
condition. But divorce might be grant,
ed with the restriction that there
should be no remarrying. Such sit
uation would curb hasty marriages.
We cannot legislate the ideal mat
rimonial state into everyday life. We
must endeavor to grasp conditions as
they exist. And so far we have not
secured a very good hold. A sponta-
neous, popular uprising alone can bring
about better condition. And in mis-
the church must take the initiative" )"

HANNA STOPS 4Gat
THINKING WHEN !
He GETS MAD
Eut Keeps Right on
Working His Capa-
cious Mouth.
CLARKE SCORES HIM At DEFIANCE

Defiance, o., Oct. 8.-John II. Clarke
addressed well filled opera house here
last night. Ills address was opened
by an attack upon Senator Hanna. He
said that he did not blame Hanna for
thinking very little of himself at the
end of campaign and that ~ feel
like joining the Ohio people in saying
God help us from the doctrines ex-
pounded by that man." He spoke
pleasantly of Hanna's personal appear
ance but said he had an ungovernable
temper and every time he got mad he
stopped thinking but kept right on
talking. Mr.. Clarke said all franchise
letting should be submitted to vote
Of the people and the Democratic plat
form stood to enact such laws. Mark
Hanna would not dare to term such
principles as Socialistic and Anarchist;c
or he would be the next senator, yet
Hanna says all Democrats are An
archists'
The speaker attacked the code, stat
ing that for the first time in the history
of the state the appointment of officers
of cities was vested IN the governor
and that to elect the Republican cam
didate to the legislature meant to con-
tinue this code and shear the people
of home rule. Clarke said:
Don't fool yourself, but Mr.. Hanna
is badly frightened. Never has he had
such scrap as he has now. Instead
of the coming legislature being solidly
Republican it is so close that Hanna
is worried and putting up the fight of
his life, at the risk of his life, to save
himself. Hanna says, Clarke DON'T
know anything but I will show him
what l know before get through with
him."

Noted Cleveland Divine Denounces Divorce
Laws---There Should be No Remarrying--
Duty of the Churches.

All over the state of Ohio, as in Stark
county, the number of divorces being
applied for is raising great apprehen-
sion among the students of sociology.
In Cleveland the situation is even
more grave than in Stark county.
About Ia per cent of the number mar
ried in this county apply for relief in
the divorce courts
Dean Williams, pastor of the Trim
ity Episcopal church of Cleveland, In
an interview upon the subject, said.
The great trouble is the preponder-
ance Of hasty marriages. People exer-
else so little judgment. They embrace
matrimony with the unthinking spirit
OF holiday outing, forgetting the
stern responsibilities that lie behind
1t. And the general mind looks on
with passive encouragement.
"'All the world loves a lover is ac-
cepted too literally. One throws about
courtship and marriage q halo of ro-
nance that is
SUPERFICIAL AND FLEETING.
When the sterner realities come the
dream is too quickly shattered; mind
and will have not been trained to act
as balance wheel for the heart.
Much of this Is due to a lack of
moral training for the children; not
necessarily the children of the streets,
but of the mansions. There is as lit
tie real moral training given the chill
dren of the average home on the ave-
nue. as those in the homes of the tene-
ment district. And that is hard to get
at-that is hard to get at.
Loose divorce laws offer great en-
couragement, and Ohio's laws are not
the strictest. The judges may be at
fault in being too lenient; it is often

CITIZEN
SITS UPON THIEF
Until Officer Arrives.-A Wea-
ther Story and an Over
coat..Poiice Court
Notes.

Fear Of cold weather prompted Ed
ward Morton to help himself to an
overcoat from dummy in front of the
Lowenstein Clothing Co. store in East
Tuscarawas street Thursday morning.
The thief got but a short distance
away, however, before officer Ryan,
who was summoned, started after him.
The chase led down Cherry street to
Seventh and to the w. G. l.. E. railroad.
1t was a merry go until Ryan called
to pedestrian just ahead of Morton
to stop the thief
1t did not take second request, for
the stranger, dropping a package which
he carried, waited for Morton to ap-
preach and then hit him a blow
which sent man and all down to the
pavement. The amateur pugilist then
sat on the fellow until Ryan could
come up and place him under arrest
Charges of petit larceny were filed
against the prisoner by Samuel Lowen-
stein and he will be brought before
Mayor Smith.
COSTLY PERFUME.
Seven lads who were arrested We'd
nesday charged with placing limberger
cheese about the residence of Anna

to fight the case and eanh was assessed

NO WEDDING GARMENT.
1t was a bad move for Daniel Fitz-
gerald when he tried to break up a
wedding at Douglas street and Dorm
alley Wednesday night With self
satisfied feeling born of few drinks
FitZgerald intrIIded his preSanoe unon
the guests without an invitation. He
had scarcely entered the house, how
ever, when he was sorry he spoke.
Before he knew it, about a dozen
men seized him by the collar and with
hasty goodbye pitched him out
of the front door and over a nearby
picket fence. His face was badly
bruised in the encounter, but he hung
about the premises until Sergeant Rib
let and Officer Ryan appeared. Then
Fitzgerald baked. Perhaps he knew
that the police patrol is laid up for
repairs, or perhaps 1t was only the
whiskey talking The officers did not
waste words. They started I'D the
street with the prisoner, dragging him
by the arms. Every few minutes Fitz-
gerald tried to make a stand, but fin
ally he was landed behind the bars.
Considering the fact that it was his
first offense Mayor Smith fined him
81 and costs.

TO DISSOLVE
OHIO MICA CO.
StockhoIder to be Held For
Stock LiabiIity.-The
lnde bted ness.

A petition was filed Thursday in
common pleas court, asking for the
dissolution of the Ohio Mica company,
the main Offices and factory of which
are located in Canton. The petition
was filed by Fred Herbruck and others
and the stockholders of the company
are made defendants in the suit.
The grounds upon which the disso-
luton is asked are that the company
has never made any money, there have
been no dividends paid and the concern
is in debt to the amount of $4,000,
with nothing in sight to pay its credi-
tors. The petition also asks that the
stockholders be assessed in proportion
to the amount of their stock in order
to secure sufficient money to pay the
debts.
The capital stock of the company Is
$4,000, divided into 500 shares Of $100
each. The stockholders are prominent
business men of Canton. The concern
has been running some years, but has
never been profitable, and as a rule
the stockholders are willing that it's
affairs be closed up. Attorney John G.
Given is counsel for the petitioners.

DOWNPOUR
Of Rain Wednesday
Night Did Much DAM
aqe In Canton.

Street car traffic in Canton was Sc
riously interfered with by the heavy
downpour of rain Wednesday night
Telephone wires were blown down, cell
lars flooded, and the creeks and Shri-
vers run, as usual, succeeded in doing
much damage along their paths. The
storm swept over the entire county,
but 1t was most severe in this city.
Trolley wires were blown down in diff
ferent portions of the city and cars
were operated with the greatest of diff
ficulty. The wires that furnish power
for cars operated between Canton and
Massillon were practically useless for
several hours.
The Massillon car that left this city
at . o'clock was stopped for nearly an
hour midway between the two cities
and did not reach it's destination until
after 10 o'clock. On the Navarro street
line the road bed was washed out and
traffic was suspended upon that route
for an hour.

Is an uncommon thing. for while the
salary is small as salaries go in these

dignity and honor that no income,
however large, could possibly confer.
For that heason most judges prefer to

they hold in the community is worth
more to them than the most tempting
