Multiplying the Law.

Milwaukee News.
1t is generally recognized that
hasty and ill-advised marriages lead
to the divorce court. 1t was the rec
ognition of this fact that prompted
the legislature OF Wisconsin to pass
a marriage law, providing for an in
teryal OF several days between the
issuing of marriage license and the
performing of the marriage cere-
mony. That hardship might not be
worked, it was left discretionary
with courts of record to issue dis
pensations to permit the ceremony
to be performed without waiting UNI
til the time prescribed by law should
expire.
The provisions of the law virtually
has served to nullify its intent, as
there are courts that issue DISPENSE
tions whenever petioned to waive
the requirments of the statue. 1t has
become mere formality with these
courts and has led To much scandal.
Instances might be cited where dis
pensations have been granted to
persons disqualified by the law tea
contract the marriage and which
would have been disclosed had the
court exercised ordinary care.
The abuse by the courts of the
privilege OF granting dispensations
requires that the law be amended to
deprive the courts of any discretion
in the matter or else repealed, As II
now stands the law is largely farce
Better 10 law 8t all than that il
should be brought into contempt and
nullihed by judges iusenstble of the
responsibilities of their office.

!Safe Convention Supreme.

Milwaukee News, anti-Lafollette.
1t las been the custom In Wiscon-
sin to permit the delegates from
the several congressional districts to
nominate candidates to serve ms dis
trict delegates To the national con
yention, which nominations have
been approved by the state conven-
ton, 1t being assumed that the dis
trict delegations elect the delegates
to the NAT ional convention, when as
a matter 81 fact they merely noml-
nate candidates to be passed upon by
the state convention.
II is entirely within the province
OF the state convention to reject the
nominations made by any district
and elect delegates nominated by IA
majority Of the district delegates to
the state convention or elect dele
gates OF its own nomination. The
congressional delegations merely
suggest candidates to the state con
upon the convention, although the
convention generally permits the
nominations to stand, Likewise, it is
within the province of the state con-
vention to instruct the district dele
gates aud the delegates at large.
The state convention is supreme.
1t is an axiom that the whole is
greater than any of its parts. In the
election of delegates To the national
convention it Is within the province
of the majority in the state couven.
ton 70 insist that delegates from the
several congressional districts shall
be in sympathy with the purposes OF
the majority. 1t may insist that the
delegates elected to the national con-
ventiOu shall be in accord with its
views or 1t may permit delegates to
be named that are not in accord with
the majority and bind them by in
structious aud the unit rule to act
with the majority. IL is merely a
question Of eNpedieuce. The state
convention is the sole judge and il
may take such action as it may
deem best. It might not be eNpedient
for it to reject the nominations made
by the district caucuses, but if il
should find it desirable to do so, il
would be acting within it's just pow.

Birds have very acute vision, per-
haps the most acute of any creature.
and the sense Is also more widely diff
fused over the retina than is the case
with man. Consequently bird can
see sideways as well as objects in

uneasiness in consequence, hawk
long before it is visible TO man. So,
too. fowls and pigeons find minute
scraps of food, distinguishing them
from what appear to us similar pieces
of earth or gravel. Young chickens
are also able to find their own food,
knowing its position and how distant

whereas a child only very gradually
learns either to see or to understand

BY the time Mr.. Rockefeller got

thoroughly drilled as business man
and was qualified to take advantage
OF every opportunity offered him.
That Is the lesson which the re-
markable Sunday school address Is
designed to enforce.
1t was Oliver Wendell Homes who
said that the sectarian student while
reading history has . third eyelid,
like hens, which falls automatical-
ly between his mind and the incon-
venient facts encountered.
Mr.. Rockefeller in viewing his ca
reer has the use OF an eyelid OF that
kind, and he keeps 1t well oiled.
Thus is he able to say with SINGER
ity things about himself and the mo-
rality Of his PEI formances that take
cause most of them to decide that he
is hypocrite of unsurpassed effron-
terry.

The Spirit Of Tolerance.

Milwaukee Journal:
The quadrennial conference OF the
Methodist church determines many
great movements FOR the promotion
of the Christian spirit and cause, but
| it is doubtful If in the whole OF the
notable session now being held al
Los Angeles any action will be taken
more thoroughly promotlve OF
| Christian brotherhood and unity
| than was the almost unanimous cry.
ing down OF the proposed resolution
condemning the methods OF another
great denomination
| That there are differences between
| the Methodist church and the Cath.
Ollie church is quite thoroughly un'
derstood without any resolution tC
that effect.
That these difference of opinion
and faith may be honest upon the
one side as well as the other must
be admitted by all fair-minded men
There is plenty of room for each in
its own way to wage warfare against
the forces Of evil, without turning
upon one another.
That the resolution condemning
Catholics was offered by a clergy
man Is natural. 1t is quite common
for clergynen to become so deeply
absorbed in matters OF doctrine and
dogma as to forget that these
are not an end in themselves, but
only means.
Atheism, agnosticism, unbelief
and Indifference have found more
solace and support in the contentious
between churches than in all other
"evidences" OF ungodl illness combined.
Christianity that falls to include
the spirit Of tolerance and charity
and cooperation Is the most fruitful
breeder Of doubt.
The refusal Of the Methodists to de-
nounce the Catholics is vindication,
not OF Catholics but Method lists them
selves.
"The Roman Catholic church has
done magnificent work in this coun-
try cried one delegate amid cheers
Of the conference. 1T has taken hold
of class Of people that perhaps no
other form OF religion could have
nodded so well for the well-being of
our common land. | feel like putting

There is true religion in that de-

of the times. 1t marks n distance in
spiritual progress. Perhaps after
awhile we may learn, Though
Christians, to "love one another.
