BREAKING UP THE STATE,

Since the church conference on d.
vorce, which was held a short time ago
In New York, the divorce eWl he's been
the subject OF comment in a great num-
Der OF papers. The result OF that con-
ference, as will be remembered, was a
recommendation that ministers refuse
to marry persons whose marriage the
minister has reason 70 believe Is forbid
den by the laws OF the church to which
the parties seeking to be unite i, belong.
This resolution is generally recommend
ed, but the New York Independent rails
es this objection:
The Roman Catholic Is one OF the
Christian churches That church has
a well-known law forbidding marriage
with non-Catholics. But what Protes-
tant minister would feel himself Obliged
to help execute that law? Under this
resolution no Protestant could be mar
ried to Catholic, except by a Catholic
priest and with strict promise that
the children Of the union should all be
brought up Catholics That may be a
good law for the Catholic Church 10 en-
force, but not one for Protestant
church TO enforce
All admit, however, that some step
should be taken against the divorce
evil, The extent to which II Is prac.
tIsed Is truly appalling, Rev. b. j. OF
ten presents In Roman Catholic pub.
llcation some statistics illustrating the
situation. Here they are;
In the monthly Bulletin Of the de-
partment OF labor for September, 1902
are given the divorces granted In so
cities In all parts Of the United States.
the total number OF these divorces
granted in 1901 being 699s. The popula-
tion OF these SO cities was at the time
S,li6,SS0, or a little less than one-ninth
that OF the whole country Hence null
uplylng sos by nine and tenth,
we obtain for the whole country 63,6Sl
divorces, a number sufficiently close to
the result of our first calculation. Yet
II may be objected that II is not fair
to take only cities, because divorces are
apt to be more numerous IN cities than
In the country To remove this objec-
ton have also gathered the divorces
granted In sixty counties, the total
number Of which was found to be- 1i,l2O.
The population Of these sixty counties
was at the time l3,359.71l, or two-eley-
enths OF the population OF the whole
country. Therefore, multiplying ll.l2O
by eleren-haHes, we again obtain for
the whole country 6l,160. Consequently.
the lowest limit We can assign TO the
number OF divorces granted in 1901 is
SLIGO. This at an increase OF per
cent year . gives for 1903 the
respectable number OF 6S,A99. Hence
our courts broke up In 1903 nearly 10000
homes-a number sufficiently large 10

Seventy thousand homes broken up IN
one year. II there is any truth In the
statement that the home Is the tounda-
1on OF the state, then the foundations
OF our country are slowly being broken
up, and the destructive forces should be
brought under control before the entire

IGNORANT PREJUDICE.

The Ignorance. or per, crsity, OF some

Of Mormon" Elders, Is remarkable and
deplorable. Samples OF It are here IN

We are at loss to see wherein the
testimony OF other witnesses than those

status OF men who married plural wives
before the Manifesto" Is OF any value
to the committee as to that feature OF
the inquiry. II simply involves trouble
for the witnesses and expense for the
government, without further light and
no other satisfaction than to feed curl
oslty. We do not believe the committee
is justified In prying into mans pr-

him to disclose them when the explana-
ton is OF no public benefit, and Is not
germane to the purpose OF the inquiry

Then, TOO, the corruption OF tho rulers

derment, hesitation and helplessness.
Science has turned out a material
world different IN many respects to the
old one, and the religious leaders find
themselvs unable to get up theology
