Remedy for Divorce Evil.

"There Ia one feature OF the French
marriage law that ought TO be ncorpor-
ated into the Maine statutes, and for that
matter, into the statutes OF every state
In the Union" remarked Associate JUS
tice William Penn Whtehouse, of the
Supreme Court, to the Journal man, the
other day.
"what is thatT' was the natural
query.
"The requirement that the presiding
Justice shall summon the parties before
him for what Is called an Interview Of
Reconciliation before the case comes
to trial" answered Judge Whitehouse,
Continuing, he said: at is thing
which the Justices of the Maine Supreme
Court have done to some extent. | have
done it 10 several instances, and 1t lie
pleasant to be able to say that | have
been able to persuade some couples to
resume living together, and more than
that, that they have done so with the
happy result Of continuing to live to-
gether.
IF the parties, or one of them, once
get into court, and the evidence is given
and spread broadcast, and all the world
that cares to know has learned just all
the petty things that go to bring about
the enlargement which results in a
separation and finally In a divorce suit,
reconciliation becomes almost an impos-
sibilty. Ii they could be brought to-
gether with only one witness and that a
man who will keep his mouth shut. as n
justice of the court must, and could
| there and alone have all honest talk over
the situation, am persuaded that much
good might result. The publicity of the
divorce trial Is the one thing that makes
its decree so irrevocable. 1t would be
found, If one might get the facts, that the
| source of most divorces is In sudden out
bursts Of temper which are resented with
similar outburst In return and 1t be-
| comes so that each feels that the other
one Is the one that ought to ask forgive
| ness. Let them get together with the
Judge and have heart to heart talk, and
tell just what 1t Is that rankles, and clear
the slate and start anew. 1t can be
done, and in the majority of cases the
interview of reconciliation would prove
itself worthy of Its name,-Kennebec

The United States Steel corporation
has issued its annual report showing
that the net earnings of the company's
plants for 1902 were $4,000, 900 more
than in 1901. The surplus is 1000, 900
and the total surplus OF undivided profits
since the company was organized is
$77, 100000. The total business done
during the year was 560,00O,000. The
company as well as the independent
concerns have had all the work they
could do, so much Ia fact that steel has
been imported from Europe. There are
so many new uses to which steel is being
put that perhaps this prosperous condi-
ton should not be wondered at, yet it lie
indeed great showing. And it is not
likely that the limit has by any means
been reached. Prosperity in this coun-
try has been advancing so rapidly In
recent years that the possibilities cannot
yet be predicted.

The passage of the law for the better
education OF youth during the recent
session of the Legislature will cost the
State about $4,000 year. This law pro.
vides that students in small towns where
high schools of standard grade are not
maintained, are entitled TO attend any
high school In the State without being
obliged to pay his or her tuition. This
expense is borne equally by the towns
where such students reside and BY the
State not exceeding $50 year for each
student. Not quite half the towns In
the State maintain high schools, so that
the chances are that the student rolls in
these schools will be largely augmented
by the operation OF this law.

Again the threat comes from Europe
Of effecting continental organization
against American products, chiefly agri-
cultural. We have heard it 80 often 1t
has quite lost its force. 1t is a formid-
able thing on paper, in the dispatches,
but will not bear examination. Or, as
our everyday phrase is, 1t will not work.
No such organization Is possible. The
subject serves at best to point out what
and how much we are doing-which la
an advertisement rather than an injury
and to stir up the Europeans to ncreas-
ed production themselves-which we do
not mind. We are working away with
all our might, and il Europe can be
