Uniform Divorce Laws.

Pennsylvania Is leading the move ment to secure an uniform divorce law through a constitutional amendment Already her legislature has appointed three commissioners to a national di- vorce convention which Is to be held in Washington. Many of the commis- sioners for the promotion of uniform ity in legislation will meet at Narra- gansett Pier on August IS, and they will be asked to endorse a divorce con vention.
 The divorce situation Is literally anarchistic. It is worse than chaotic, because it encourages immortality and perjury. It ranges all the way from no divorce at all-South Carolina-to the state of Washington, whose laws provide that a decree may be granted for "any cause deemed sufficient by the court" The South Carolina posi- tion against all divorces is nulliied when man can slip over into Ten nessee and get divorce for twelve causes, and marry there and return to defy South Carolinas divorce policy. So it is in every part of the country.
 No two states agree. In Kentucky divorces are granted on the ground of ''ungovernable temper" In Missouri on that of "vagrancy;" in Florida be- cause "of violent temper" in Oregon, 'indignities rendering life burden some," are sufficient to warrant de cree. and in Rhode Island "gross mis- behavior" suffices. In most of these cases the judge is called upon to de eide. When divorce cases are left to judicial discretion it Is plain that we will have great variety of divorce de- crees.
 Public sentiment seems to favor an uniform divorce law, but it is not cer- tain that 1t will favor 1t strong enough and long enough to put an amendment into the fundamental law covering the entire subject

Price of American Cotton.

The cotton spinners across the sea met last week and resolved to buy cot ton cheaper than ruling prices. They propose to secure the raw cotton they need and must have by staying at pres ent out of the market. In other words, they do not propose to study the open ing crop, preferring to apply the boy colt to American cotton
 This is emphatically a game two can play at. It is the waiting game, and the producer can better afford to wait than the manufacturer who must meet the demands of customers and con sumers. One might as well try to force down the price of wheat by de- priving the hungry of bread as to. at tempt to control the price of cotton by letting the world go naked. The farmers will wait as long as the spin ners desire, and if need be while longer.
 Crop conoltions do not justify a price below ten cents, and the spin ners across the sea will soon see that they do not Strong men both in New York and New Orleans are lined up on the bull side of the market, and the spinners across the seas will find they have force well organized to deal with when they attempt to carry the price of cotton below ten cents They might overcome the unorganized farm CTS, but they cannot readily vanquish the well equipped bull spectators of the present season.
 Crop reports are bullish Rains are excessive. The crop is spotted No evidence exists to show that a large crop is possible even if weather con ditions become ideal, and they are far from 1t at present. Ten cents, Mir Spin ner, Is the south's irreducible mini mum, and you may as well get ready to accept 1t, and make the most of it, for you may easily go farther and fare worse.

BaIkinu at the Price.

The peace conference is again post poned, and day of the present week may bring a solution of the great prob lem. It is now matter of money only, all else having been practically deter mined.
 Public sentiment begins to say that pressure should not be brought to bear upon Japan to waive indemnity. Japan fought down Russia's land greed in the Far East, and her bad faith in forming the Muscovite eFrench-German combine of 1895. She was compelled by Rus sia's aggressiveness and craft to fight for national existence. She won the fight, and by all the rules of modern warfare she is entitled to reimburse ment of expenses in a war forced on her by Russia. She wants no more than her actual expenses, and she should be permitted to secure them.
 
 Russia takes the position that she is too great or too proud to pay an h. demnity, and yet she took indemnities from Turkey and China, and if she had been victorious in the present war she would have demanded an immense in- demnity from Japan. By agreeing to abandon Manchuria and Corea she ad- mits either that she is badly whipped or else that she was In the wrong in going there at all, or perhaps she ad- mits both propositions, and yet she re- fuses to pay Japan the actual expenses she forced upon the island empire. Her position is unsound.
 No compulsion should be brought to bear upon Japan in this matter. She needs an indemnity as a national de. fense against Russian aggression in the future. She needs an indemnity in or der to secure to the Far East "a just and lasting peace.' It would be short sighted on the part of the President to insiA that she shall accept some sort of peae. for patched-up peace would not last >Rg. Japan is the best judge

One Nation and One People.

we have heard great deal recently" said Kentucl1ian last night at the Hill man, 'to the effect that ours is now reunited country. and not a little of the talk has been either maudlin sentiment- ality or sheer impertinence.
 At the recent Confederate reunion in Louisville, however, we were furnished an illustration that the repelling prejud- ices incident to the civil war are rapidly passing away. The chairman of the com mittee appointed to provide hotel &C., commodatlons for the grim men in gray was MT. E. J. Johnson, a valued member of the Courier-Journal staff. Associated with MT. Johnson was Mir. w. w. Watts, prominent lawyer of Louisville and for mer president of the American League of Lawyers.
 "Both these menNare the sons of men who fought in the Union army. MT. Johnson and Mir. Watts were exceedingly helpful in making the reunion at Louis- vile success, and = was not until the gathering was dispensing that it became known who were the fathers of these two men.

Dummy Directors in Court.

The dummy director stands fully exemplif1ed in the answer of the forty nine directors of the Equitable society. That answer is filed in response to charges made in a suit brought by the state of New York. The plaintiff is eight millions of people, and is cer- tainly a responsible and well-known party. The forty-nine dummy directors are also responsible and well-known, and they will no doubt be held to strict accountability for their numerous acts of omission and commission.
 The dummies plead ignorance as to the $6S5,000 Equitable not held by the Mercantile Trust company, which Is a by-product of the Equitable melon. Even dummy director should know when note of that size Is executed, but it appears that the transaction was known to but few of their number whom the forty-nine swear they are unable at present "to identify" Their Identification powers should be en- ergized by the court, and the entire story of the loan brought out. This is due the policyholders. If it was campaign fund, let that fact stand dis closed The note was paid at the last minute, the money coming of course from the pockets of policy holders.
 The s25O,000 nvested-permanent inyested-in the bankrupt Depew In vestment company is practically showed by the joint answer upon Director Chauncey M. Depew. The forty-nine admit the loan, but they say that the admission IS made by these directors "who were or ought to have been cog nizant of these transactions This should include the entire forty-nine. for they were elected directors to protect the policy holders.
 The entire answer is a sad comment ary upon the modern dummy director. The situation is even worse than it was before the answer was filed, for what W surmised before by the public and by the policy holders is now admitted

From Success.

N MIDDLE-AGED man was re- WA gently discharged by large h firm in New York because he asked for an increase in salary Of $zoo year. He writes me that he had been with the house for twenty-two years had worked very hard and faithfully, and had tried in every way to advance the interests of the concern, and yet at the end of all these years he was getting only thousand dollars year. This man complains that the firm had kept him down. and that he had been very unjustly treated. He is now working for the municipal government of New fork at salary of SIP a week.
 On the face of 1t, the action of the firm in discharging an employe after twenty-two years of faithful service seems harsh even to cruelty. But the charge that he was kept down Is a very different matter. In the first place, it would be extremely foolish for the firm to part with him if he had made his services invaluable. They could not af- ford it.
 We ma Lldl duTiiiB lHcoC t"thhJ wv years scores and scores of employees were advanced all arohnd him. While he was rising to 5000 year, others had risen to s5OOO, $10,00O or more; and some Of those who began far below him had in the meantime become superintendents, managers or partners
 will any sane person say that these
 I,,A tO fax yprff lem rather than to merit? Do employers knowingly work against their own inter est? Are they not usually very sharp to see where any adyantage to themselves lies? The chances are that this man was kept down by himself, that the cause of his failure to rise was to be found in himself, not in the firm. It may be soothing to his self-love to think that he was kept back while others were pushed on ahead of him, but that is not the truth
 Most people feel that they are held back by some outward circumstances, that there is some influence that is keep ing them from accomplishing all that they might do if they were free. I often receive letters rom young HIGH dnu young women who complain bitterly that they are kept back by jealous competi- tors above them.
 Do not hypnotize yoruself with the idea that you are being kept down. Do not talk such nonsense Nobody of any sense would believe it. People will only laugh at you. Only one thing Is keep ing you down. and that is yourself. There is probably some trouble somewhere with you. Of course there are employers who are unjust to their help; there are in stances in which employees are kept back when they should be advanced. but. as a rule. this is only temporary. and they usually find their level themselves.
 Progressive employers are always look ing for the exceptional man or woman. the one who can step out from the crowd and do things in an original way, who can economize in process. who can facili- tate business. They are always looking

Haokmen Object.

q do not believe that the hackmen of the city understand the recent ordinance passed by the City Council,' said a mem- Der of that body yesterday. T have had two or three of them call on me and protest against not being allowed to pick up fares on the streets. They seem to think that the ordinance forbids them picking up a passenger.
 "The hackmen are of course mistaken. The ordinance merely means that hack men cannot congregate, and that hacks cannot stand waiting for passengers any where in the city except on Morris ave- nue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets and under the Twenty-first and Twenty street bridges.
 "Hackmen, as I understand the ordi- nance, are allowed to drive around the city and pick up a fare, but they are not allowed to stop and stand near a corner for half an hour or so. It would be too great an inconvenience to the pub lie as well as an injustice to the hack men to prevent their securing a passen- ger on the streets. According to the hack mems version of the ordinance the man desiring a cab on a rainy night would have to go to the union station or un- der one of the bridges to get cab. That would not be any accommodation at all to the public. as a man would get wetter hunting a cab than he would walk ing home.'

q hope that Dr. Thorndyke, head of the department of psychology in Columbia university, and Dr. Breese, who occupies the same chair in the University of Cin- cinnati, will make a southern tour this fall and include Birmingham in their itinerary" said Prof. Samuel Adams, principal of the Barker school, yester- day.
 While in Knoxville this summer att tending the summer school of the south there, I had the pleasure of hearing sev- eral lectures by these psychologists and I have never heard men who had more comprehensive idea for training the mind of the children.
 "rhe public schools here have been fa- vored number of times by lectures from some of the leading educators of northern colleges, and l hope that after the High school is in its new building Dr. Thorn dyke or Dr. Breese will be invited to visit Birmingham. Both have shown much in- terest in the public school system of the south"
