The position of three promi-
nent churches on the divorce
question is as follows: The Cath
olic churcn forbids persons once
married to re marry while either
party is alive, but when there
are sufficient reasons the church
permits legal separation of the
married couple; the Protestant
Episcopal church forbids any
minister to marry any person who
has been divorced, except on ac-
count of the marital infdelity of
the other party; the Presbyterian
church orders that its ministers
shall refuse to marry divorced
persons, except those who have
been divorced for causes recog-
nized as scrlpturaI in the stand
ards of the church; and the
Methodist church orders that nc
divorce except for infdelity shall
be considered lawful.

The American Farmer.

When the American farmer ris-
es early in the morning it is to
look over the broad and fertile
acres that are his owD When he
goes forth it is to fields that no
human being can step upon with
out his consent.
When he gathers and garners
the harvest he stores up what, in a
vast majority of cases no greedy
and rapsoious landlord can take
rom him. It is all his.
The proceeds of it are to feed
and oIothe him and his family and
eduo,te his children; to be the
support of his old age and the
heritage of his posterity.
Looked at from every point of
view. it is doubtful if there is an
other human being under the
heavens who has more cause for
carrying a light heart and a con-
tented mind, for regarding the
past with satisfaction and the
future with hope than the Ameri-
can farmer.

GIVING PEOPLES MONEY AwvY
Case. of Carnegie and Rockefeller
As Viewed by a Cynic


which Mr.. Carnegie assalls hii
great problem of disbursement
calculating observers estimate
that he does not do better than
get rid of his income. They
know that he has given away
s121 100000 in FIVE years, says
Life, bat they guess his income
is about SIS, 900. 900 a year, and
if that is SO, he has only just
about kept his head above water.
IF his best efforts are disappoint-
ing to him, we are sorry, but we
do not want to intrude upon his
private griefs. After all, success
is not the most satisfying thing
in the world, Effort is what
makes us feel the best. If Mr..
Carnegie succeeded in his cher
ished purpose of giving himself
comparatively poor, who can be
sure he would be fully satisfied?
WonId not his occupation be gone,
and his chief means of enjoy
ment? Very likely it is best for
h happiness that he should not
succeed too much or too soon.
but should continue to struggle
as he does at present, getting
ten-miIlion-dollar chunks of re-
lief now and then, and then de-
parting to Skibo to recruit his
energies for another effort.
His case is really very amusing.
We are SO used to it that we do
not half appreciate the novelty
of it. There is lot of humor in
the idea of getting things so ar
ranged that one can annually
share the harvest of a gIeat army
of diligent producers without
being constrained to share their
labors Every one who lays up
some money approaches a little
nearer to the position that is es.
sential to the enjoyment of that
joke. When we get $4,000
ahead, it entities US to the pro-
ceeds of about one plain mans
work. A hundred thousand
dollars means perpetual command
of about 10 plain mems energies.
A million means a hundred
workers; a hundred millions
means 10000 workers; more or
less, whose product Is credited to
US. There's nothing new about it.
So the world has gone since time
lmmemorial, but when the figures
get very big they look odd Mr..
Rockefeller, for instance is some
times SAID to he billionaire. IfI
so, all the wealth that about a
hundred thousand working men
produce is credited every year to
his account. And DIR. GLADDEN.
insists that the prodnet of the
hundred thousand is all bad
money, and can't be given to
missions because it has once been
set down to Mr.. Rockefeller's ac-
count Isn't that rather hard on
the hundred thousand workers
who have sweated literally to
produce that money?
IF you toot your little tooter
and then lay aside your horn,
there's not a soul in ten short
days will know that you were
born. The man who gathers
pumpkins is the man who keeps
a humping is the man who-makes
it pay. The man who advertises
with short and sudden jerks is
the man who blames the editor
because it never works. The
man who gets the business has a
long and steady pull and keeps
his trade and paper from year to
year quite full. He plans his
advertisementsi is thoughtful, hon

PENNSYLVANIA Justice.

During the progresg of the
Goebel conspiracy trials the Ken
lucky courts have been harshly
and unjustly criticised by ceatain
Philadelphia papers which have
cried mot prosecution, but per-
secution. If the case of the
State of Pennsylvania VS.. Kate
Edwards and Samuel Greason
may be taken as an example of
the leniency of Pennsylvania
courts our Philadelphia contem-
pc raries may be excused for cav
ling at the attempts of prose
cutting officers to secure the riged
enforcement of the law in Ken
lucky.
1t will be recalled that Kate
Edwards, white woman who
had long sustained illicit relations
with a negro, murdered her hus-
band when it became impossible
longer to conceal her guilt. The
negro paramour, Greason, was an
alleged accomplice. Both defend
ants were sentenced to he hung.
S ever a thousand sentimental
women in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and o t h er Northern States,
petitioned the Governor of Penn
sylvania for a communication of the
woman's sentence, making much
of the fact that the contemplate
ed hanging would leave the mu-
latto child motherless. Clemen-
cy was very naturally refused,
but the day before the execution
the woman adopted the plan of
"confessing" that she killed her
husband unaided. The "confes-
sion" exhonerating the negro op-
Grated to secure a reprieve and
Judge Ermentrout has just grant
ed a new trial. The following
excerpt from a dispatch taken
from Reading, Penn, tells the
story:
''This means that Mrs. Ed
wards probably will be spared to
tessify at the new trial.
The woman who should have
been hanged for the murder, will
be spared as a witness. The
man, exhonerated by her confess
sion, will in all probability be
acquitted in court. The natural
consequences are that the negro,
the white woman and the little
mulatto baby will Give happily
ever afterward," the necessary
formalities resulting from the
murder of the superfuous hus-
band having been concluded.

The Things in Washington.


Seldom have so many contro-
verted questions, demanding the
Presidents attention, arisen in a
dull season as during the his pres
ent absence, and announcement
that he has decided to curtail his
trip, and make a quick return
journey, starting on May 8, has
occasioned no surprise h e e.
This situation is in part due to
President Roosevelt,s attitude in
keeping a hand on so many SUBJ
jects himself. The controversy
between Minister Bowen and AS
sistant Secretary of State LOOMS
calls for early attention. It has
for some time been assumed here
that Bowen would be relieved.
The administration has been dis
satisfied with his course at many
stages, and especially his SEEM
ing desire to stand constantly in
the limelight. 1t has been be-
lieved that such charges as may
have been made against Loomis
were designated in part to show
that many of Bowen's troubles
were inherited from LOOMS as a
minister to Venezuela, or at least
were due to his direction while
assistant secretary of St a t e.
Castro dislikes LOOMS and Bow
en- equally, andwould omit no eff
fort to embroil them further.
1t is probable that other diplo-
matte changes in South America
too long delayed already, will be
part of a reorganization which
the President will effect on his
return. He has a friendly con-
troversy to settle at Panama, be-
tween Shonts and Taft, regadr-
ing the rates which the govern
ment shall charge on its Panama
railroad. Shonts desires to main
trim the existing status substan-
tally, and the railroad interest
are working strongly on that
side. Taft's idea was to run the
Panama at remunerative rates,
regardless Of how it might effect
transcontinental business.
The effort to secure peace be-
tween Russia and Japan, upon
which President Roosevelt and
President Loubert are taking a
lead ng part, may soon demand
attention. The psychological
moment" in the Eastern war
may come at any hour and the
President would regret being un-
able to take advantage of it, for
what ever his influence might be
worth, in bringing this struggle
to a close. This was the subject
which Mr.. Roosevelt left behind
on his vacation trip wi t h the
greatest reluctance.
With Senator Aldaich, who is
expected back early in May, the
President desires a conference
over the tariff revision, particu-
larly as e IF e ct e d by the
revenue outlook and Germany's
threatened retaliatory policy.
Much of the Presidents recomen-
dalton for the extra session will
depend upon the conclusions of
the Senate Finance Committee,
which has been instructed to
look into this subject during re-
cess.
There are o t h e r questions
which, while hot necessitating
the Presidents return, do make
his presence here highly desira-
ple.l Secretary Cortelyou is eag-
