LIVING For LIFE.

Divorces are granted with such fa-
cillty these days that applicants have
ceased to regard the severance Of mar
ital relations as anything out of the or
dnary. The only annoyance is the
loss OF time required to give testimony
and the payment Of lawyers fees.
A case 90 noint Is that reported in
New York paper A business woman
has decided that having a husband in-
terferes with the prosecution Of her
work She says she has nothing against
him, and that they are not inoompat-
ible. but he is no longer ornamental
nor particularly useful, so she proposes
to turn him adrlft.
One holding such ideas would doubt
less reduce marriage TO mere business
contract to exist during the performs
ance OF certain covenants, perhaps to
last for term of years and to be am
nulled at the option Of the contracting

that usually follow these unions? Well
IL we are to put aside an sentiment and

And there are tendencies shaving
that It may come to this Many a So

The split in The Republican party oil
Wisconsin reminds one OF the split IN
the Republican party in Delaware. The
ablest leaders, the stalwarts and men
who have borne the burden in the heat
Of the day found themselves dehed by
one who evidently aspires to dictator
ship Their delegates apparently regu-
larly elected, were fenced out and de-
MED seats. Among those who were
turned down and turned out were the
two senators and Congressman Bab-
cock.
Postmaster General Payne should be
olasscd with the ousted delegates for
his influence was behind them. Being
denied their rights the stalwarts or
eanized separate convenuon-polted'
If you please-and proceeded to name
delegates TO the National convenFon
and to nominate candidates for state
Offices. It is interesting to note that
these protesting delegates now call
themselves regular Republicans" and
declare they will fight Il out to a finish.
We may speculate on the course Mr'
Payne viii probably pursue. lie likes
regularity, yet he himself Is irregular.
He hates bolters. but II he sticks to
his friends he is a bolter. An he has
asked is to win, yet IL the ''bolters' Join
with Lafolette they can win. OF course
Mr. Payne has not thought Of this OUT

serting their manhood but he Is now

THE AD MANS TALK

tising in your news columns?' asked
"A Wilmington man the other day.
Isn't it rather queer to appeal to mer-
chants this way? Why don't you send
personal letters2"
The reason is simply because adver-
tising interests every reader, no mat
ter whether he is a merchant or not.
The proof of this lies in the fact that
the newspaper is used so consistently
and persistently by merchants who
want more business and by the fact
that every day new ideas are utilized
i'm advertising TO attract especial at
tention. The same old way would do
if people were not particularly inter-
ested.
The merchant who has something
new and novel to say will never have
any trouble in getting a hearing-his
story will be read with deep interest
and keen appreciation. Publicity is
absolutely certain IN its results if it is
done right-care is necessary Sc

NOT EVEN PLAUSIBLE.

The following we clip from an editor
lal in the news columns Of our morn
ing contemporary:
There are many who have an Idea
that the Council can cut down the eX-
penditures Of the city so as to bring
them within a reasonable figure but as
a matter OF fact Council has no discre-
tion in the matter. All that IL can
DO is TO make the appropriations which
are required by law and which are
fixed by amounts which have to be
paid each year and then levy a tax
rate which Is large enough TO meet
these expenses.
Our contemporary is right ia saying
that its stories of the tax rate have
caused comment" They have, The
Democratic members. Of Council were
greatly pleased and expressed the opin-
ion that they could not have prepared
a better defense themselves But we
feel disposed TO question the conclusion
OF this editorial news writer
We deny that an the Council has to
do is to make appropriations and lay
the tax rate Council can waste pub
lie moneys. and has done so. We an
know, for instance, that in granting
contracts to garbage collectors it spent
unnecessarily about $1,000. That. and
similar expenditures is what keeps up
the tax rate.
Then Council is responsible for the
acts OF the Board Of Revision and APP
peals That body is composed OF the
President Of Council the chairman of
its finance committee and the building
inspector who is elected by Council
This board, acting for Council. has cut
of many thousands Of dollars Of rev
enues by reducing assessments. in
many cases without any apparent rea-
son.
Then Council has IL IN its power to
compel the payment Of all delinquent
taxes. II can get almost every doll
lar OF this money; yet 1t prefers 20 ad-
vance the tax rate. or to create a deficit
rather than compel the payment OF
moneys due the city NotWihstandlug
the defense OF the News the belief Is
general that Council has the power to
meet all reasonable demands ana yet
reduce the tax rate. II It lacks any
thing It Is capacity.

BISHOP TURNER'S IpEA.

Bishop Turner Of the African Metho-

himself on the question Of color ana
