A VARIETY OF
VIEWS ON DIVORCE

In this age OF hurry and hustle.
says C. H. cochrane, in Town and
Country, marriage is entered into too
easily and thoughtlessly, rendering d.
vorce the frequent solution of tie
that has became mutually disagree
able. There is a growing feeling In
church circles that divorce has be-
come an evil that ought to be stop
ped-by law. II necessary, certainly
by refusing sanction to the remar-
riage of divorced persons.
Occasionally one hears voice
raised in opposition to this, but the
average man and woman dislike the
notoriety of being quoted as having
views opposed to those of the clergy
on this question. and so generally the
denunciations of the church against
divorce go unchallenged. Feeling
that there are most diverse opinions
on this broad subject. representative
Of Town and Country has undertaken
to interview 10 intelligent persons in
widely different walks of life in order
TO secure various views. and they are
printed below for what they may be

Bishop Potter Says That Church Will
Certainly Go After Them in
Vigorous Fashion.

New York, Oct. 4.-That the Episco-
palian church will take action soon
looking toward the censure or disci
pline of some of those who by their
own testimony before the legislative
insurance investigating committee
have convicted themselves of lues-
tionable methods of finance is an as
sured fact. the authority for th. s
statement is Bishop fctter. who dc
clered that :hc diocese of New York
could not permit TO go unnoticeI the
recent disclosures before the COM
mittee.
81 think you will agree with me
that no action should be taken by the
convention while these matters are
in transitu," said the bishop. "When
the proper times comes, which will
ha when the testimony is in and those
on trial are proved to be innocent
or guilty, you will see that we shall
act swiftly.
'.But until these men have been
proved guilty of actual dishonesty it
is certainly improper for the diocesan
convention to pass resolutions of cen
sure"
The bishops manner indicated
plainly that he was only waiting for
the guilt of the insurance officials
to be confirmed by further testimony
before taking the initiative in the dis
ciplining of those who may be within
the jurisdiction of the church.

New Orleans, Oct. 4.-One of the
most striking features of the New Or
leans situation is the fact that the fe.
yer has been confined practically to
the lower classes or those who ara
so unfortunate as to be unable to
read and comprehend the MOSQUITO
dogma or the scientific methods
which are now employed in fighting
the epidemic. There has been excep-
tons OF course, but by far the great
er number of cases have been among
ignorant Italians and those who do
not possess the advantages of educa-
tion or intelligence to enable them
to understand or to take the precau-
tions laid down by scientific medical
authorities. The more enilghtened
portion of the people have screened
and oiled their cisterns, have fumigat-
ed their premises and in other words
accepted the mosquito doctrine and
homes with the result that they have
practically suffered immunity from

New Orleans, Oct. 4.-Dr. J. H.
White, surgeon United States marine
hospital service in charge at New Or
leans, is touring the country parishes
with view to meeting the various
health officers and comforting with
them as to the elimination of quaran-
tines on October Is. Dr. White bases
his request on the fact that a few
days after that time frost will have
appeared in many sections of Louis
lana to the consequent destruction of
the mosquito and as it takes six days
in which to develop the fever after
being bitten by the stegomyia, there
can be little il any danger of. a

patient in the first three days of
the disease (the only time when II
can become infected) from twelve to
eighteen days will have to elapse be-
fore the poison can develop in the
mosquito and before or by that time
the frost will have killed the mos
quito and thus eliminated 1t as a fac
tOr.

RAMSEY TELLS OF GOULD WAR
Wabash President in Open Letter Ex-

New York Oct. 4.-Joseph Ramsey
il. president of the Wabash railroad
has sent to the roads debenture and
stockholders his long expected letter
cutlining his contentious, both person
al and financial, with George J. Gould
and giving his reasons for seeking
to wrest control of the property from
the latter
Mr. Ramsey's statement reads in
part as follows:
when | opened the campaign for
proxies, l stated l was not going to
make it a personal one, but as the
personal element has been forced in
by statements made, if not by Mr.
Gould, by members of his kitchen cab
met and those working to get proxies
for him. I am forced to reply to
them.
"Hid Mr.. Gould make me known to
the railroad world? I think not.
had been railroading twenty-five
years before I met Mr.. Gould and had
some little standing in that world at
that time.
"For eight years l seemed to have
Mr.. Gould's full support and friend
ship and I showed my gratitude by
working night and day to carry out
our plans. To use Mr.. Gould's own
words before the board as late as
May o. 1905, 'Mr. Ramsey has done
the work of three men for the Wa
BASH
"Now as to the making of my for
tune which, according to one story,
owe to Mr. Gould. While my fortune
is modest one, and I thank Provi-
dence that l am able to take care of
my family and live the balance Of
my life without salary from the Wa
bash, I can not make Mr.. Gould a
part of that providence. 1t is true
that I was in several syndicates with
Mr.. Gould; so were large number of
others. OF all these syndicates, four
in number, made up three, originat-
ed them and secured most of the un.
derwritipgs, of course, as Gould pro-
jects."
