assistant secretary Of the navy, how

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Although an off year in Ohio politics,
very general attention, perhaps due to
the feeling that the result may have a
more or less important bearing upon the
chances of one or two of the prominent
men of that state in the national repub-
lican convention Of 1908. 1t appears to
be quite generally understood that Secre-
tary Taft is among the possible candi-
dates of the republican party three years
hence for the presidency and unquestion-
ably he is regarded by republicans gen
orally as a man whose availability as a
presidential candidate is inferior 10 none.
He has a very strong hold upon the re-
publicans of Ohio, who appreciate his
great ability and high personal char
acter But If the Buckeye state should
go against the republican party next
November, the chances of a candidate
for the presidency being taken from
that state in 1908 would be greatly les
sened and Mr. Taft would be relegated
to a rear position among possible presi-
dental candidates.
It is this which gives more than ordi-
nary significance to the present years

ing the republicans TO extraordinary eff
forts. 1t is announced that besides the

the canvass will be characterized by ex-
traordinary energy on the part OF the
republicans who will probably conduct
their fight largely on national issues.
There has developed an exceedingly
strong opposition to the reelection of
Governor Herrick, whose administra-
ton, it appears, has given great offense
to many influential republicans. These
charge him with having been unfaithful
to his pledges when elected governor
two years ago and with having done
things inimical not only TO the interests
Of his party, but also TO the public vel
fare. 1t seems that his course has Gre

DIVORCE IN CANADA.
RemarFiaEe of Divorced Persons For
hidden by Episcopal Church,



Chicago Record Herald
The Episcopal church In Canada has set
tied the question of the remarriage of d.
vorced persons by absolutely forbidding its
clergy to remarry any divorced person
while the former husband OF wife Is still
living This is naturally taken as an en-
couraging symptom by the advocates Of
similar reform in the church in this coun-
try. If Canada can set so high a standard
why not the United States?
When one compares the conditions which
confront the churches in the two coun-
tries, however, the answer win not seem
so simple Fortunately, oficial statistics
for Canada published by the Dominion gov
eminent are available. In the year 1904
five divorces in Ontario and one in Quebec
were granted by act Of Parliament In
three other provinces thirteen judicial di-
vorces were granted. The total for all
Canada in 1904 was nineteen. In the thirty
seven years. 1858 10 1904 inclusive the total
number OF divorces OF all kinds granted in
Canada was 1855 In addition to these a
total OF nine judicial separations and de
crees nisi" were granted in that period.
