THE PRESIDENTS NARROW ES.
CAPE.

President Roosevelt has won another
glorious victory, but after a narrow es-
cape from being utterly crushed. By
the skin Of his teeth did he miss an
utilization. While those who were
after his scalp were whetting the knife
preparatory to performing the opera
ZION the president was ~engrossed in
bringing about the close of the blood
lest war in modern times, unaware of
the threatened explosion expected by
others which would startle the uni
verse. The president was all nco
scious of the sword hanging V his
head and of the narrow escape from
having fne threat cut. But We will let
the CharlotteC Chronicle tell of the presi-
dents snatching victory out of appar-
ent defeat and of his narrow escape:
President Roosevelt came out with
flying colors in the beer incident. The
". c. T. y. was given to understand
that he did not accept h crate Of
sixty bottles. but ordered it returned
to the brewery. According to The New
York evening SUM-. Mrs. Il. H. For
rest. of the w. c. T. T.. is glad it a
not had to deliver an ultimatum to
the e of the government. h ac-
cepts the version that the president
returned the beer. Isn't it grand!'
she says But it's just like u noble
president. 1t certainly was good of
him. I am glad I did not let a vote
Of censure pass at our last meeting.
when the subject came up. for now we
would have been sorry for having
found fault with such a splendid mar
as our president is. l Will bring the
subject before our state convention at
Washington. Pa. and President Roose-
| Welt will be commended for his stand
But didn't "Our President" have a
close CALI.
Just suppose Mrs. Forrest had not
held up that vote of censure! 1t makes
one shudder to think of what would
have been the result. Why, the presi-
dent would not have had the courage
to show his face in public ever again.
He might have felt bound to tender his
resignation Immediately and turn the
administration of affairs over to Mr..
Elihu Root as his successor. The
whole country would have received
such a shock that it could not have
rallied for years.
The people owe a vote Of thanks to
Mrs. Forrest for having raised a re-
straining hand and warded off the
deadly blow to the nation.

Only one thing has saved the American
marriage and divorce laws from the hands
OF the melodramatic writer, and that Is
their appalling compiexity and confusion.
But Mr.. Roosevelt who has taken the fam
lily and the sanctity Of the marriage tie I'M
der his special prot lection. has been boider.
and has brought the question OF the mar
Rage and divorce laws OF the states Of the
Union into the sphere OF practical politics.
But even he has not dared to go far, and
early In the year. In a special message TO
Congress- he merely asked such legislation
as will authorize the collection Of statistics
on the subject. But when the Constttu-
ton was drawn up the rights Of legislating
on marriage and divorce for the entire
Unien was unfortunately not reserved to
Congress, and the freedom of each state to
legfslate can only be taken away by an
amendment to the Constitution. As q
writer In the Fortnightly Review points out.
Congress. by q two-thirds vote In each
mousse. prepares and proposes the required
amendments: but they cannot be incorpo-
rated into the organic law Of the land until
ratified by the legislatures Of three fourths
of the states. Mr.. Roosevelt's statistics will
aRord some interesting reading. but the
confusion of the marriage and divorce laws
IN the states will. 1t is quite safe to say,
not be rectified for many a year to come.
