Gnnh fnr the senatei

The Bracket Palmer Corrupt Prac-
tees bill passed the Senate Of the State
Of New York Monday evening, with
not one dissenting vote and with only
one Senator in opposition, Republicans
and Democrats, regardless of party creed,
voted for il. Introduced in the Senate
by a Republican and in the Assembly by
a Democrat, its non-partisan character
was still more emphatically exhibited by
the vote for it on final passage.
This proposed law, supplementing the
present statutes for the protection OF the
ballot, would 60 far to render corruption
at elections Improbable or impossible.
It is in the interest Of every honest voter
and every honest politician in the state
The only persons who would suffer from
the operation Of such law are the bribe-
givers who seek to thwart the will OF
the upright voters at the polls.
The Senate has done its duty in passing
the Corrupt Practices bill. Now 1t re-
mains for the Assembly TO pass it prompt
", and for Governor FRANK WAYLAND
HIGoIHs to sign IT, Then the non-parti-
san, united efforts of lawmakers and
chief executive will have placed on the
statute books one Of the most important
laws for the publication Of elections that
have ever been enacted by the Legis-
lature Of the State of New York

We refuse to believe that Gen CHARLES
HENRY GRosyENoR, the eminent Athen-
ian civil service Teformer, author, orator,
patriot and statesman who has repre-
scented the Eleventh Ohio district for
twenty years, cannot be renominated
and reelected To the SiXtieth Congress,
We can conceive OF Gen. GRosvENOR
without the House Of Representatives,
In private life lac might have more lei
sure for literary work. His scintllating
and fame-pointed pen might enrich
the world with more masterpieces like

with larger photogravures but who
can think Of the House without Gen.
GROsvENOR
In such a House, II il Is thinkable, the
galleries would drone with SHORES. The
guides would lose their chief stock in
trade being no longer able to show
admiring visitors the new Aristides.
According to the story, thirty-three
of thirty-fve Republican county commit
teemen in the Generals home county
are opposed 70 him and will select dele
gates to the Congress convention who
will turn him down.
II they are opposed to him, he will
come TO their side With his fine OPP
portunism he will not allow himself
TO be at right angles with the trend y
Of things. With his wide open open
mindedness he will reverse himself
when he finds himself going in an I'M
popular direction. In June, 1900, he
was ieering Mr.. ROOSEVELT. Who was
a better Rooseveltian when events took
him by the scrlff Of the neck1 When
the Esch- Townsend bill was before the
House he set forth all the reasons against
it; then voted for it meekly and duly.
Are thirty-three committeeman against
him? As a statesman quick TO saturate
himself with the popular spirit, he will
become an anti-Grosvenor man himself,
and when the time comes he will run on
an anti-Grosvenor ticket. They count
not we'll who try to leave him out.

Many and various tongued interpreters

A brown eyed, brown haired Italian
girl, only ten years old, stood by the long

corridor Of the Federal Building yesterday
until Clerk Donovan invited her into his
Office to sit down.

was well dressed, with a pretty hat with

She said she was Josie Marone.
In their turn came two young and fairly
well dressed Italians to the clerks desk.
These are them, spoke the girl az they

A plan for establishing IN employment
bureau for the blind Of Manhatta and
vicinity in the woman's Exchange, I $50
Madison avenue, was discussed ~ the
monthly conference under the GuspioA Of
the Charity Organization sooiety, tnfho
United Charities Building, yesterday msn-
ing,
The plan suggested by Lewis Buffet eau
In his talk on Workshops for the Blind
was 80 warmly seconded by the audienq
that Miss Kate Bond, chairman, said she
believed such a bureau would be started
within few months.
Imagine the feelings OF these blind
youths on leaving school well trained In

display, so those who wished to help the
blind would know where TO 90 for their
work and would be willing 20 pay a little
more for II than department store prices,
they would be helping these women and
girls TO be self-respeCtinR and would give
them an added interest in life.
And why not have an employment
bureau there TO assist the men? So that
women who wish to have their pianos tuned
by blind man would know where TO 20 70
employ him. There would be some definite
place where the blind could offer their serv-
ices, and those who care TO assist them
could go for their work"
Miss Bond was in favor OF the suggestions
made for the employment bureau and an
nounced her willingness 20 try, with the
help Of Mrs. William Choate, to get the
bureau started in the exchange.
As for blind piano tuneTs,' said Miss
Bond, most Of us send TO the factory where
our pianos we're made when we wish 70
have them tuned But why shouldn't we
insist upon having a blind tuner That
would create a demand for their services

Commissioner MCADoo has complained
in one or two Of his public addresses Of
the reluctance Of citizens TO aid the po-
lice in the performance Of their duties.
lie has pointed out, with justice, that the
work of enforCing the laws is one which
should enlist the efforts OF every repu-
table resident Of the city, and that his
department, as long as it ia hampered
by general antagonisln or indifference,
cannot reach its highest efficiency.
But, while Mr. MCADoo is urging citi-
zens 10 do their duty some Of his subordi-
mates are continually frightening those
who might be willing to aid them If they
had no fear Of the consequences 10 them
selves. Sunday evening Williamsburg

were caused

Unfortunately. such cases are by no
means unusual and their constant
repetition has resulted in the attitude

Religion and Race and Marriage

Even the rabbi Of the relatively liberal
Fifth avenue Temple Emanuel dis
countenances the intermarriage OF
races, or OF Jews with Christians. a
divided house on religion invites dis
aster," he said in his last Sundays SER
mon: but the preservation Of the race
purity Of the Jews seemed TO be upper
most in his mind.
Relatively such intermarriages are few
in this country at the present time, much
fewer apparently than when the number
Of Jews was small The only country
from which we have statistics show
ing a large percentage Of Jewish inter-
marriages at the present time is New
South Wales, where the Jewish popula-
ton is relatively small and where many
innovations, social and political, have
taken place. In all the countries where
the Jews are many. including besides
the United States, Russia and Austria
mixed marriages are rare; and in New
York they are fewer proportionately
now when the Jewish population is
three-quarters Of a million than they
we're when its number was not a tenth as
great.
The Roman Catholic Church discount
tenances marriages betweea its members
and the disciples OF any other religious
faith. AMI when they are permitted its
priests exact a stipulation that children
born OF the union shall be reared in its
rungion; but mere race difference is no
disqualification in its eyes. In the
Episcopal Church, in Canada more espe-
cially, there was started not long ago a
movement, on religious grounds purely,
against intermarriages, or marriages
. with members Of other denominations OF
Christians. The Westminster Confession
expressed the same sentiment in admon-
ishing Christians Of their duty TO marry
only in the Lord, not to marry "inhdels,
Papists, or other idolaters," or with
such as are VIGOROUSLY wicked in their
life or maintain damnable heresies."
DR.. SILyERAiAN takes the ground TN at
harmony in religion and not romantic
love merely should be the basis OF mar
riage. III two intend to marry" he
says, and there is difference Of re-
ligion between them there is only one
thing to do-to lay aside the romantic
aspect Of the case and agree on the re-
ligion they shall follow after thei, mar
riagc." That, as we have suggested, is
the Roman Catholic doctrine, and prac-
tically il was originally the doctrine
Of the old Protestantism; AZ expressed
in the West Minister Confession, marriage
shovl.s ue only with such a. profess the
true reformed religion" II il was obeved
the unbaptized half OF the population Of
the United States would be restricted 10
marriage between themselves.
The question Of a diversity Of religion.
however, does not enter into the pro-
posed marriage 10 which so much Jewish
opposition is expressed, and on which
particularly Dr. SLOVENIAN founded his
sermon Of last Sunday, for both the man
and the woman protest that they are in
complete harmony religiously. IL is
therefore only the intermiXture Of races
which meets with disfavor, and at pres
ent that sentiment il as strong and gem
eral among Christians as among Jews.
The marriage question, therefore, IA
taking on a new phase now that the
Jewish population OF this country b
