VINO is 20 Blame /.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
There is ample food for reflection In
the remarkable seSinaf' which up
peared N your columns this week, and
as it leads one to inquire where rests
the responsibility for lie Wickelness
and crime which abounn, 1t may be
well to call attention to al item in an
adjoining column Of the same paper.
This i: q p ca by the bishhp Of Scrail-
;on thas working boys may be allowed
the privilege of engaging in athletic
games on Sunday. He gives us the
reason, the hardships they undergo day
and night six days a week. The bishop
thinks that the good Lord will be
pleased to see them" play ball on Sum-
day, providing they are good boys"
He does not say whether the Lord
would not rather see them using the
day for the purpose it was intended,
viz: TO cultivate their spiritual ma
lures. Under this arrangement Of con-
tinuous work for six days in the week
and physical exercise on the seventh,
where does room for the spiritual come
in? That is left out altogether, and
then some day doubtless the bishop
would try to trace the cause for sin
and crime.
The bishops plea for physical recrea-
ton is certainly justified. Boys ought
to have holiday for such exercise,
but, why in addition to robbing them
of a holiday by working six days in
the week, add still further to injustice
by robbing them of a holY-day? Why
not put the blame where it belongs
and insist that boys should have at
least Saturday afternoon in which to
engage in games and recreation, in
stead of RELOCATING it to the peaceful
Sabbath, which Is thus marred for
whoever happens to live in the vicinity
of a background.
1t is idle to seek for causes for crime
when they are SO apparent on every
hand in overworked children and grown
people, and underpaid service. Is the
good Lord pleased to see such selfish
ness and injustice? Would it not be
more in the spirit Of his teachings to
work nationally with proper time for

YRoUBAE ~ TWO BIG CITIES.

While New Haven has peace in police
matters, two of the big cities of the
country are very much disturbed. In
New York leading citizens have met
and demanded far-reaching reforms,
particularly in respect to discipline. In
that city recently burglars, highway
men and murderers have committed
crimes almost with impunity. Neither
life nor property seems to be safe in
the American metropolis. New York
has thousands of policemen, but it ap-
pears that the system under which they
work has produced decentralization and
inefficiency. That, at least, is the charge
made by representative citizens, who
are urging drastic reforms.
In Philadelphia. the revolt against DO
lice administration seems to be based
on moral grounds. In fifty churches of
the Quaker City last Sunday the pas
tors preached against the alleged pro-
lection which certain forms Of crime

Poor old France! She is too highly
civilized. 1t appears that from the
time of Louis XIV. to the revolution
France was the most densely populat-
ed European country. From 1872 to
1901 the growth of population has been
only from 36,0e0,000 to less than &c.
100000. In the same time England has
grown from 100000 to 41,5OO,OO0 and
Germany from 100000 to 5s,0OO,oOO
Besides this growth, the loss from
England and Germany by emigration
has been considerable, while from
France it has been exceedingly small.
In all the other European countries
population has also increased rapidly.
One serious aspect. of the situation
in France Is that one-ninth of the soil
remains uncultivated for lack of popu-
1ation-an area equal to Holland and
Belgium together, capable Of support
ing a population Of 100000. In the
southwest Of France alone it is said
that, If the soil were nationally cul-
tivated, that section might equal Eng
land in the production of cereals. But
it is in precisely these sections that the
evil of depepulation in the course of
the past seventy-five years has been
the greatest and fourth part of the
soil remains waste. A question that
suggests itself is What is France go
ing to do with her vast colonial EN-
pire? She has hardly the material to
populate it and make it Greater
More children are needed in France,
but nobody seems to know how to en-
courage bigger families there.

ment to the Court of Quarter Sessions,
set forth the existence of certain condi-
tions and officially placed the blame for
this state Of affairs upon the Director
of Public Safety. The congregation Of
the wealthiest and most influential
Methodist Episcopal Church in Phila-

attention of the mayor to ''the very
grave reflections that have been made
against the Director of Public Safety"
and demanding an immediate and
searching investigation of the charges.
The rector of Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church in his sermon gave. this advice
to his congregation: Between now and

We are asked to vote, and select the

Unstable LONDON.

Is London sinking? Some say it is
sinking into he'll, and an English engi-
neer is apparently convinced that at no
distant date the British metropolis or
huge slices of it, at all events, will go
sliding off from its foundations into
some unknown and fathomless abyss.
The deep tube railroads, it seems, are
to cause this catastrophe. London sub
soil is of clay, some hundreds of feet in
thickness, which forms a series of ba-
sins, gradually sloping down to point
below the bed of the Thames. These
basins are filled with water, coming
from the surface, which flows from one
receptacle to another until it reaches
the river. So long as the basins are
kept full the top soil was properly sup
ported, but this prophet of evil declares
that the subways in some manner have
created new sideways, and are gradu-
ally draining these subterranean ponds,
causing enormous empty spaces into
which the foundations of the British
capital win slowly but inevitably settle.
Already. he says, settlements are oc-
curing at different places in London,
and great buildings are showing large
cracks. He implores the authorities to
take timely warning, but no public PAN
ic has manifested itself yet.
Keep your eye on London. Perhaps a
lot of it could sink without hurting the
world much.

recreation, and to devote at least some
time during the week to the study of
His word?.
If spiritual leaders like the bishop
would follow the example of the New
Haven pastor and put the response
bility where it ought to rest, great in
dustrial corporations might be prevail
ed upon to put some humanitarianism
into plans Of work, but when the whole
subject is dismissed by the spiritual
teachers themselves in consenting to
give the time intended for spiritual re-
creation over to physical recreation,
and not insisting on physical exercise
at some other time, who is to blame
when wickedness is rife?

New York. New Mexico and South Car olina. marriage licenses are required. Generally in the Southern States and also in California, Colorado, Idaho, In- diana Nebraska. Oregon and Utah, marriages between whites and persons of negro descent are prohibited; in North Carolina, Oregon and South Carolina between whites and Chinese. Marriage between first cousins is for bidden in fifteen States, and marriage with step relatives in all except Flor ida, Iowa. Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
 Tn New York none of these prohibi- tions Is made. It is the easiest State in which to get married, and, with the exception of South Carolina, the nara est in which to get out of the contract. In New York the only cause for divorce is adultery; in South Carollna ne al al vorce at all is provided for-the state stands alone in that respect
 And, vet the attempt to harmonize the divorce laws is not hopeless. There is really less variation In the divorce laws than in the marriage laws.
 It would be impossible perhaps 10 harnonize the marriage laws. But this is not necessary. Practical uniformity in divorce may be secured by the gen eral adoption of certain fundamental principles that will apply alike to all marriage relation. however variant the laws and conditions under which the relation was formed may be.
 We have been long time taking about uniform divorce laws. The State Commissioners who are about to meet will face a dificult problem, but not an impossible one.
