What Is "True Love"?

The discussion of love and marriage
by our correspondents brings to Us some
letters from people who profess to give
to true love" far higher elevation
than it gets from human laws and
social conventions by making it law
unto itself infinitely superior to the arti-
fetal rest RANTS Of society or the Church.
For example, this is an extract from
one of these letters
You seem surprised that woman lawyer should
advance the proposition that such thing as true
love can eAis, without marriage ceremony. Love
existed before the ceremony Of marriage was In -
s,itnted and II this ceremony to be abandoned
love would still exist The mere fact that magls
trae priest or minister ties the knot does not add
one mite the love that the man bears TO the woman
or the woman to the man"
This may be true but what does it
amount to? OF course, the institution
of matrimonv does not create the senti-
ment which attracts together men and
women, but only regulates it in the in
terest Of necessary social order and
morals. Besides romantic sentiment
Of prime interest to the parties in the
marriage, there come in many practical
rights which lie at the basis of civiliza-
ton. One Of the most important fea-
lures of the statutes of a State concerns
the rights OF property as affected by the
relation of marriage, and these rights
extend to society generally.
The more a man loves woman whom
he is free under the law to marry the
more content he is to render obedience
to every social regulation surrounding
matrimony. He is proud to call in all
society to witness his assumption of
marital obligations to her. He has no
fault to find with marriage laws and
customs. The tighter they bind him
the better.
Why then do men and women write
laws as if these interfere with true love-?
What is the trouble?
! Is not the trouble that with them
'true love" is a passion which they can
not crafty without coming up against
! the prohibitions Of the law? They may
be married already, one or both, SO that
their true love" is an illicit sentiment,
so far as concerns a legal marriage with
| those with whom they are enamored.
What would they have? Would they
abolish all marriage laws and leave the
whole matter to be arranged by that in
definite and changeable, perhaps mo-
mentary, attraction called "true love-?
! Who is to determine that it is true love y?
Shall everybody be left to settle the ques-
| ton for himself, to decide when the
"love" is present or absent, is vital or
has become exhausted
These are questions which interest
only the relatively small part Of society
which is composed of those in whom
the sentiment of love is perverted or
has been misdirected.. In this country,
more perhaps than any other, the i'm
pulse to marriage is purely romantic
sentiment, and consequently the num-
Der OF married people who are vexed
about true love- is small. Married
people dismiss that question as finally
and irrevocably settled. They have
no further interest in it. unless az
an abstract question treated in poetry,
in novels and plays. The sentiment

The fact that the business Of the profess

THE work of preventing professional
bondsmen from profting by the arrest Of

work OF cleaning the streets" said the
Commissioner. -The action OF some Ma is-
trate, in refusing to fine women who have
paid these bondsmen Is, in my opinion,
simply putting premium on lying"
Figures given out yesterday show that

At the convention Of the Interstate
National Guard Association at st. Paul last
week New York was officially represented
by Adjutant- General HENRY Of the New
York militia. New York, with $4,000 militia
men, has larger number than any other
State, and no convention at which New York
was not adequately represented could be
regarded as national.
The chief matter considered by the dele
gates to the st. Paul convention was the
presentation to the next Congress OF bill
to increase the annual Federal appropria-
ton for militia support, provided by the
law Of 1903 II the desired increase Is OBJ

The use Of these funds contributed by
the Federal Government has increased
the efficiency OF the National Guard. but
the higher standard attained has made
requisite, it appears. for a few years at
least, larger Federal appropriation than
was provided two years ago.

with their two endings already made,
one to serve for the sophisticated audi
ences OF the Boulevards and the other
adapted to our tastes and sympathies
here in New York. One advantage OF
this method has already been demon
strated In Paris.
One Of the French dramatists, who
has seen his plays fail here on account
of their intensely local character, decided
that he would attempt to write play
keeping his American audiences IN
mind throughout the drama and pre-
pairing conclusion that would SUIT
their ideas. 1t was acted the other
day for the first time. Having been
written primarily for the Parisians, its
subject is similar to many that inspire
his colleagues, although the treatment
La different. 1t was made with the
American market in view In the back
ground, and as result OF this novel
plan the play is so innocuous that II
might almost be enacted at the famous
White Theater organized several years
ago for young French girls to whom
the repertoire of the regular playhouses
was forbidden. This drama, prepared
with the American stage in view, has
been the most successful Of the season
in Paris.
Although it was written for us, and
consequently is free from the elements
that would not be tolerated here, 1t
was not found to be crude, childish or
hypocritical. 1t was, indeed. highly
praised, and promises to achieve the
unique distinction Of equal success here
and In Paris. Thus does the influence

MISSIONS IN AFRICA
BOARD REPORTS THAT
ZULU PROBLEMS CONTINUE.

BOSTON, Mass, December 9.-The 4smeri-
can board made public today statement
by Secretary Judson Smith, DID,, Of the
conditions of it's missions in Africa, which
shows that, Notwithstanding the visit of the
deputation in 1903, the problems occasFoned
by the mission reserves in the Zulu. mission
continue. The statement, in substance, is
as follows. s@ tss 'hss 'Es.77i
Recent action has been taken by the
colonial government by which the care Of
the reserves is withdrawn from the trus-
tees and wholly assumed by the govern
ment. This action was at first welcomed
by the missionaries. but legislation has since
been enacted fixing rental for the holdings
of the natives on these reserves at an eXor-
bitant rate. In effect this has Cancelled the
original pledges made to the occupants of
these reserves and laid such burdens on
them as to restrict their power to aid in the
missionary work proper and greatly to dis
turb their relations to the government on
the one side and to the missionary body on
the other. Apparently the colonial govern
ment does not feel SO assured of the loyalty
of the natives or so secure in their power to
administer the government effectively
among themselves as to permit them longer
to assent to the old order 1t seems that
the government would secure Its own inter-
ests and the prosperity of the country as
a whole by recognizing the greater ability
of the natives and by laying responsibility
upon them, developing still higher measures
of power.

Mission Schools Reorganized.

1.-The colonial authorities, as a rule, have
recognized the mission schools of all grades
and have given to them financial grants
and moral support, as they have been
friendly and helpful to the mission as a
whole.
THE time has ceased when the people
accept without question all that the govern
ment requires. The loyalty of the natives
is not broken; they Go not propose revolt.
but they feel themselves wronged; they are
restless and are disposed to some extent to
charge the missionaries with fault in not
efficiently defending them from these ydisa-
biiities at the same time the missionaries
cannot escape q conviction that there is
hardship in these regulations and that their
work Is hfnGered and the healthful progress
of the people unduly checked. 1t is hoped
that upon reflection and full representation
the existing situation may be materially re-
lieved.
1.-The development of the Ethiopian move
ment' in separate churches and in complete
INDEPENDENCE of missionary counsel and
control, presents an embarrassment In the
work of the mission which has not yet
been satisfactorily solved. =
1.-The missionaries. of the east central Afrt-
can mission hold the entire confidence and
respect of the government officials. The
mission is distinctly fortunate In being To-
Gated within the sphere Of British influence,
and it bears It's cordial testimony to the
high order of moral integrity and Justice
insured under the British government.
