The CHURCH AND DIVORCE.

THE House Of Deputies of the
4 Episcopal General Convention Is
now engaged in earnest debate over
the proposed canon on marriage and
divorce. A sharp division Of senti-
ment has developed. and fears are ex-
pressed that the. adoption Of too rigid
a rule might not check the abuses, but
result in future trouble.
The debate yesterday centered in the
question OF whether the innocent party
to divorce shall be allowed to marry
during the life of the other party.
There is obviously much that may be
said on both sides. TO deny this
means to penaize the innocent along
with the guilty, as II regards them as
being in the same class.
But, on the other hand. to allow such
marriages is TO do what the church
doesn't want to do-to approve OF a
certain latitude in divorce, which the
church has generally degarded as all
together a social and moral evil. And,
besides, to give sanction TO the mar
riage Of the innocent party Is to open
the doors to possible abuses. For di-
vorces are granted by civil tribunals,
and to rely absolutely on the verdlcts
Of these courts in determining who is
innocent, is to make them the judge of
ecclesiastical conduct, since the action
Of the church is conditioned on the
verdict OF the courts
The convention recognizes the evil
but il is confronted with the same
difficulty that meets legislators: an
adequate remedy one that will do in
justice to nobody.

Small States and Vote BUYING.

Correspondence Boston Transcript
The increasing use OF money in our
elections must be recognized as one OF
the most stupendous evils OF the time
accentuated by the doubtful State"
system and by the equal representation
of the small States In an overshadowing
Senate. Does anyone doubt that Ad-
dicks could put enough money into Dell
aware TO hold II for the Republican
ticket? His own experience in "a State
which was regularly assigned to the
solid South until his coming. answers
that. Does anyone doubt that w. A.
Clark could carry Montana for any
Democratic ticket that he desired? He
has already proved his ability I'm this
direction. He resigned from the United
states Senate, under a unanimous re-
port against him from the committee
which had examined his methods, only
TO go back to his own State to be tri-
umphantly reelected, and to remain
undisturbed ever since. The Montana
people have accepted the challenge that
they can be bought up" and have In
the most substantial form announced
to the world that the goods will be de-
llvered.
Does anyone doubt that Mr. New
lands could buy Nevada? It's total vote

EDITORIAL OPINION
FoII,. About AGE limits.

From the Cleveland Leader
Certain great corporations have in
force elaborate systems OF old age PEN
sions and retirement plans made pos

trom their own employees. Hence
these companies naturally and almost
necessarily refuse TO employ except FOR
temporary needs or for special work

benefits OF pension funds built up by
many years of self-denial by faithful
workers already long established Ia the

sUT A MATTER OF JUsTIcE.

nj OW the editor sits down for a
IN moment to do justice to a man.
forgetting for an instant that that man
has any politics. but remembering only
that he is a human being. and as such
is entitled to some consideration at the
hands Of other human beings who
have inhabited with him the same part
Of this sphere Of ours.
In politics men are regarded as mere
pawns on the chessboard. and. there
fore. we propose to leave politics out
Of this. Our theme is DR.. Joseph H..
Chandler. Now II man rises and
says: "oh. let him get out Of the way
and not block harmony" we shall
know that the speaker is thinking and
acting as a politician. and not as
man. If another says: IF DR.. Chandler
is good Republican he win not block
party success" we shall be obliged to
regard this as a mere partisan utter
ance. that leaves out OF consideration
the fact that DR.. Chandler is man
OF flesh and blood. with thoughts. feel
ing, ambitions and impulses. He Is
not stone man or a mummy; he is
yet responsible to his friends his
community and to himself
Very WELL let us say that many OF

CANNOT LAND UNLESS
THEY ARE MARRIED

Philadelphia. Oct 13-Threatened
with deportation unless they marry,
a young English couple who came
across the Atlantic as man and wife
are detained here pending the result
of an appeal to the immigration bureau
at Washington. They arrived here
from Liverpool on the steamship West
ernland on Sunday, accompanied by the
young womans uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. John w Fay of New York
city, who had been visiting in England.
AS is the case on most ships, single
men and single women are quartered
in different parts of the Westernland,
and as the young woman wanted to
travel with her relatives it was agreed
among them at Liverpool that the
young woman was to represent herself
as the wife of Hugh Stanton, a mutual
friend who also had engaged passage
on the steamship. During the trip
Mrs. Fay and her niece occupied one
cabin and Stanton and Fay another.
When the vessel reached here the
immigration officials heard of the mat
ter and threatened TO deport the couple
unless they agreed to be married at
once. AS the young woman is engaged
to marry a young man who has ar
ranged to join her in America and as
Stanton is also engaged to another girl,
the suggestion Of marriage was re-
iected by both of them. The immigra-
tion officials would not relent and fixed
Saturday as the day for their deporta-
tion. Mr.. Fay Immediately engaged
counsel. and an appeal was taken to
Washington.

The Cause Of Peace.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The advocates of peace are enjoying
a season OF salience I'm this country at
least. Following the call Of the inter-
parliamentary conference for a session
OF The Hague congress .he peace con-
vention at Boston considered yesterday
an aggressive declaration for the ra-
tional method OF settling International
disputes. IL contemplates a new con-
vention by the signatory powers OF The
Hague convention--or such Of them as
may be progressive enough 10 take the
steps-binding them to submit all in
ternatlonal differences not adjusted by
diplomacy to The Hague tribunal and
also organizing them for mutual self
protection and united action in favor of
the peace Of the world.
This proposition will inevitably be
decried, especially IN imperlaHstic cir
cles, as impracticable, visionary and
senseless. Yet 1t is impracticable and
visionary only as the idea OF settling
disputes among individuals was not so
many centuries ago. Governments de-
claring that they cannot submit TO an
outside tribunal disputes involving
their honor or the integrity of their ter
ritory occupy exactly the same position
In logic as the individual property own
er who took the same attitude con-
corning his individual rights in medi-
aeval times. The property holder OF
the Dark Ages thought IL would be dis
honorable TO let mere clerk OF a Judge
determine whether he or the other
claimant was entitled to a disputed hill
or valley. So the disputants fought IL
out with the result that the property
went to the strong hand. The civil
lied world has got far beyond that
stage I'm individual disputes. but the
henighted notion still holds sway as to
international matters.

ONE TICKET NOW.

THE two Republican committees
i met yesterday pursuant to ad-
iournment. and were IN conference
most Of the day; ere they adjourned
state ticket had been arranged in all
Of It's details and arrangements had
been made for filing it.
Preston Lea. who had been previous
~ rendered the nomination for gov
ernor refused to serve. ohjecting to
the conditions which as laid down
would have hampered him I'm free
choice Of his Secretary OF state. This
for a time threatened to terminate all
negotiations, but the Union Republi-
can committee finally agreed to annul
the resolution imposing the condi-
tions. and thus Mr.. Lea was noml-
mated without any formal pledges TO
bind him.
That being accomplished Il did not
take long to arrange the rest Of the
ticket. which was done by each party
allowing the candidate in each instance
to hold the place for which he had been
nominated. when that place had beer
assigned to his party.
It was manifest yesterday morning
that the conditions imposed by the
committees and which would have in
terfered with the free choice Of the
candidate II elected. were enough to
damn any man, but Mr.. Leas refusal
to accept with these conditions re-
naming. places him before the public
as though such efforts to tie his
hands had never been made.
The only objection that can be
brought against this ticket is the man
ner Of its selection and all the in
cidonts Of these negotiations to form
one ticket confirm the belief that this
is the last ticket that viii ever be
named in this manner. The rank and
file may accept this method. as the
only alternative this time. but here
after candidates viii not be named by
committees. but by conventions.
H. would be idle to say that there is
not great discomfort and dlssausfac-
tion. but this grows out OF the method.
and is not the expression of hostility
to the candidates themselves. This
feeling is likely to be largely dissipated
by the time the polls open.
