HOPE FOR RUSSIAN JEWS.

The last act of White before depart
cation representing the Jews of the
United States. To them he promised
that he would use his personal in
f1uence with the Car to better the
conditions of the Russian Jews. It. Is
to be hoped that the Russian govern
ment will take proper action in this
direction. 1t is important to the peo-
pie of this country as we'll as to Rus
STA and to humanity in general. Per-
secution of the Jews in Russia has
sent an enormous number of them to
this country in the last few years.
They have come here in such num-
bers that the great cities are unable
to take care of them. Take the one
matter of education: in New York
City alone there has been an increase
dren in the last five years. Mayor
Mcclellan was elected four years ago
on a platform in which a plank prom
Using to furnish school accommoda-
lions for every child was an import
ant one. So great has been the IN
crease in school attendance caused by
immigration from Italy and Russia
that it has been impossible, notwith-
standing extraordinary efforts, to fur
nish proper school facilities, and it
will not be possible for years and
years to come. New York City has
school property worth fifty million
dollars and yet there are fifty thou
sand children of school age who can
not be accommodated, and this not
withstanding the fact that the Cath
Ollie parochial schools accommodate a
very large number
The world is interested in Russia's
attitude toward the Jew. Her treat
ment of the Jew was one of the
causes which turned public sentiment
against her in the recent war. The
United States in particular, which
now has such large Jewish popula-
ton, is interested in seeing that this
long suffering people should obtain
relief From a selfish standpoint our
country is interested for the immi.
grafton of Jews in the last few years
has been larger than our cities have
been able to accommodate.

voluntary organization through cleo.
tive officers. The members of the
class are usually minors who may
with impunity, as far as legal results
are concerned, repudiate their con-
tracts. If those contracts are for
things not necessaries the parents of
the students are in no way respon-
sible. 1t seems, therefore, that it be-
comes a matter of honor whether stu
dents shall meet their personal and
class obligations or not. Unfortun-
ately the students of the University
OF Minnesota have hard name among
the merchants of this city. 1t has be-
come quite generally known that they
are not deserving of credit.
We can hardly excuse the govern
ment of the institution from fault for
this condition of affairs. Youth is the
time of high ideals. 1t is hard to ex-
plain how young men and young
women, most of them between the
ages of eighteen and twenty-five
should gain the reputation for dishon-
esty that is general in and around the
University in reference to University
students. If the government of the
University does not now possess suf-
ficient authority to enforce common,
ordinary honesty among the students
then indeed it is time that sufficient
authority should be granted. If the
University authorities already possess
power with which to deal with de-
linquencies such as we have referred
to, then it is time that those author
tiles should use that power. We know
that the fathers and mothers of Min
nesota do not want their sons and
daughters to be dishonest. The honor
OF gentleman is higher code than
that code which demands obedience
only where the law will enforce it.
The majority of male students at the
University are minors. A general rule
of law protects minor from his con-
tracts on the assumption that he has
not the discretion and intelligence
necessary for entering into a contract.
1t gives him right to repudiate his
act. Young men twenty years old in
the Senior class at the University can
hardly claim that their intelligence is
so low that they were unable to I'M
derstand the nature of the contract
entered into. The code of honor
should govern in that case and not the
principles of our statutes or common
law. 1t is said that the Seniors at the
University are collecting a fund for
the purpose of hiring counsel to de-
fend themselves. 1t would be much |
better for them if they raised the fund
to meet the debt. 1t would be better
for the reputation of the University
and certainly inspire outsiders with q
little stronger belief that higher edu-
cation means higher code of honor |
and better men and women.

A peculiar condition exists in the
municipal campaign of the City of
New York. AS the time approaches
when nominations must be made the
opposition to Mayor Mcclellan grows
less and less. The fusion forces seem
unable to agree upon any man or
platform that will give them ghost
of a chance against Mcclellan at the
heard of the Tammany ticket. Nc
SClellan has made popular mayor,
and 1t looks now as though there
would be as little opposition to the
regular Democratic ticket in the City
Sof New York as is usually furnished
IN the Southern states. The Repub:
hcan machine is governed absolutely
j by Ex-Governor Odell. He is opposed
TO District Attorney Jerome, the only
man who would stand any show of
beating Mcclellan.

that the Pope will not retaliate upon
the French government by withdraw

from placing themselves under the
protection of governments who are
not working for their determination.

but our last census showed 1886
divorced persons living in the coun
try, and this figure takes no account
of the divorced persons already re
married. The figures just given would
be on the basis of two hundred and
sixty in the one hundred thousand OF
population.
If Canada had ever acquired the di.
vorce habit of the United States no
church would be able to establish a
rule against re-marriage with so little
trouble. The pressure on the clergy
of twenty applicants year is not to
be compared with the pressure of
tens of thousands. 1t is true that the
, adoption OF such rule in the United
States might make certain churches
little less popular, but would it not
render them also little more service
able to the community? Year after
year the different Protestant denomi-
nations in their conventions and as
semblies discuss this question of d.
vorce which so intimately affects re
social fabric of the country, but so far
the churches have done nothing to
remedy the evil. We believe, how
ever, that an ever increasing number
of Protestants are adopting the be-
lief that the only practical way for
religion to deal with the divorce evil
is to take the position of the Catholic
church on the question. Fewer peo-
pie might attend the Protestant
churches, but the influence of those
churches toward helping to preserve
the home would be greatly Increased.
1t is impracticable at the present
time in this country to get legisla-
ton forbidding divorce. Every state
In the union grants divorces for some
cause or another except the single
state of South Carolina. 1t is practi-
cal, however, for the clergymen of all
churches to refuse to re-marry any
divorced person during the life time
of the former husband or wife. Such
a regulation would place a great
check upon the worst feature of the
divorce evil. Those familiar with the
divorce court know that in large
percentage of the cases the incentive
for the divorce is the desire on the
part of one or both of the parties to
marry some other person. If the
clergymen of different churches re-
fused to perform the ceremony such
people would have to be married by a
magistrate. This would make it at
least unpopular. Such action on the
part of the Protestant clergy would
also have great influence upon our
legislatures and would undoubtedly
result in stricter divorce laws. If the
different Protestant sects are in real
earnest in what they say about the
divorce evil it would seem that they
ought to have the necessary courage
to take the step that the Episcopal
church in Canada has just taken.

It has always been fashionable for
men successful in different lines OF
endeavor to tell young men how easy
it is to succeed. We wonder if all
these successful persons could hit

make the run over again? None of
them seem to take into account the
large element commonly called luck
that enters into success.

EPIscoPALIANs AND DIVORCE.

The action of the Episcopal church
of Canada forbidding it's clergymen
to re-marry divorced persons is a step
in the right direction. The import
ance of the step, however, has been
overestimated. Had the action been
taken by the Episcopal church in the
United States it would have meant
a great deal more. Canada is not adj
dicted to divorces. 1t was, there
fore, comparatively easy matter for
the Episcopals to take the action that
they did There were no important
personages interested in preventing
the step and no pressure from
society.
The Episcopal church in the United
States numbers among its member
ship many very influential divorces.
In New York City that church is the
one to which large portion of those
high in society give their allegiance.
1t is also true that those high in So
ciety are the ones who seem to have
most need for the divorce court. If
the Episcopal church in the United
States would take the position taken
By that church in Canada it might re-
suit in some positive good. It is prob
able that it would also result in the
loss to that church of some influential
members. The Episcopal church in
Canada has but adopted the rule Of
the Catholic church the world over
in forbidding the re-marriage of d.
vorced persons while former husband
or wife is still living. OF course the
Catholic church goes still farther and
absolutely forbids divorce. 1t has no
control over the laws Of the state,
and is, therefore, forced to recognize
the legal position In which persons
divorced by the courts assume toward
tempt to Interfere in these matters
| when its former members do actually
go into the courts. 1t can, however,
and does regulate the relations of
those people with the church.

Canada cannot be so easily adopted
in the United States. Fortunately
official statistics of Canada kept by
the Dominion government are avail
able. In the year 1904 five divorces
in Ontario and one in Quebec were
granted by Parliament. In three
other provinces there were thirteen
divorces granted. The total for all
Canada in 1904 was nineteen. In
thirty-seven years, 1868 to 1904 inclu-
sive, the total number of divorces of
all kinds granted in Canada was three
hundred and fifty-six. In addition to
these total of nine judicial separa-
lions were granted in that period.

women, both natives and immigrants
living in Canada in 1901 was six hun.

HAS AN AUDIENCE.
A Maryland Girl Visits the Supreme
Pontiff.

Pontiff.
A Maryland girl, in writing to a.
friend of hers of visit to the Holy
Father, and sightseeing in Rome.
says:
This morning fourteen of us had a
private audience with our Holy
Father, and this afternoon we are to-
be present at an audience for all the
pilgrims. I can't describe my feel
ings OF this morning. The Holy
Father was so simple, kind and gra
cious and gave us all the blessings fol:
ourselves and loved ones at home.
and you may be sure you were in my
heart, too, and I hope to bring you a
great share of the blessing which he
extended to our friends. I can't real
ize | have seen him, and am looking;
forward eagerly to the public audi
ence of this afternoon. We have seen
SO much already, but now 1 can't
think of anything but the great priv.
ilege of this morning 1 had a little
crucilix blessed by our Holy Father
this morning for you.
Yesterday we attended Vespers at
the Gesu, and, as it was the eve of the.
Festival of st. Ignatius, the altar over
his body was blaze of glory.
"Since I began this we have had
our second audience with our Holy
Father, and it is hard matter to
bring oneself down to earth again
He is so humble and childlike. Three
times today have held his hand and
kissed his ring. And just imagine
after the audience was over he actu--
ally sat with the pilgrims and had
his picture taken with us. Wasn't;
that lovely? Bishop Kelley will write
for us his address, which was SO kind
and loving, and again he gave me not:
only his blessing, but all those for
whom we had formed intentions, our
relatives and friends, SO you had a.
share again. If you had only been
with us! After the picture taking we.
walked through part. of the Vatican
gardens. We havee visited the bodies.
Of so many saints in the past three.
days that it seems as though a little
of their spirit ought to be infused into
our souls. First of all, at Montecas-
sino, we were at the tomb of St. Bene--
dict and st. Scholastica. We came to-
Rome Friday night, and on Saturday
visited the churches containing the
bodies of st. Aloysius and st. John
Berchmans, st. Catherine of Sienna
SITS. Peter and Paul. Sunday, st.
natius and st. Philip Neri. We were.
also taken up to st. Philips room,.
| and saw his bed, his confessional, the
| altar upon which he used to say
mass and upon which are still the
same crucifix and candlesticks that
| were on it when st. Philip lived. In.
| this same room we saw two beautiful
paintings of our Lords 1lead-one by
Guido-Reni and the other by Correg-
gio. We were also at the tombs OF
SITS. Philip and James, the Apostles
