EDITORIAL OPINION

couraging symptom by the advocates Of a
similar reform in the church IN this coun-
try. If Canada can set so high a standard
why not the United States?
When one compares the conditions
which confront the chufches in the two
countries. however. the answer will not
seem so simple Fortunately official statis-
tics for Canada published by the Domin-
ion Government are available. In the year
1904 hve divorces I'm Ontario and one IN
Quebec were granted by Act Of Parlia-
ment. In three other provinces thirteen
judicial divorces were granted. Ths total
for an Canada IN 1904 was nineteen In
the thirty-seven years, 1865 TO 1894 inciu-
sive. tho total number of divorces Of all
kinds granted I'm Canada was 1856. In ad-
dition TO these "a total Of nine judicial sep
arations and DEGREES nisi' were granted
I'm THAT period The number Of divorced
men and women. both natives and imm-
grants. living in Canada I'm 1901 was 65l,
or as the statistical year book carefully
points out. 1913 in every 100000 Of the popu-
lntion.
There is hardly judge in the most re-
mote county of the United States who
does not grant as many divorces year
as all the Parlaments and Judges of all
Canada. We have no figures of annual d.
vorces granted. but our last census shows
ed ias.S6S divorced persons living in tho
country. and this figure takes no ac-
count Of the divorced persons already re-
married The figures just given would be
on the basis Of 2G0 in the 10000.
If Canada had ever acquired the divorce
habit Of the American States no church
would be able TO establish so vigorous a
rule against remariage with so little
trouble The pressure on the clergy of
twenty applicants for remarriage a year
Is not to be compared with the pressure
OF tens of thousands.

Report to the People

/ ''black hand" style Of far-reaching
acts that made life misery or wiped
out the individual altogether.
Then il dawned on some of us that
the people-the $50 out of every 500
were not members of the labor trust
but really had to bear the oppression
Of the minority and be ruled by them.
There are only about 20 union mem
bers in every 500 citizens. But the
compact organization of the few made
! it possible for the labor trust In many
cases, to force their tyranny on the
unorganized majority The next mat-
ural thought was organize the people
for their own protection.
That was an inspired thought.
So to put IL into practical operation

ago formed the Citizens Industrial AS
sociation OF America. 1t progressed

But any town or city can set up a
good practical Association by some
one man who has the interest OF his
town at heart calling a few property
owners together. Elect temporary
officers send to the National Associ-
at.cn for constitution. bylaws and
detailed instructions, then have a
ganize. Select a good working official
who can interest others and build up
the Association. The cost is practi-
cally nothing If the active man will
give his time, although it has been
found best to pay salaried man who
will do things. Every merchant be-
comes interested because he prospers

Delaware Rid Of Addicks.

From Golfers Weekly
one OF the most extraordinary episodes
in American political history has been
brought 20 an end by the eclipse Of j..
Edward Addiclss In Delaware. At con-
ference between the leaders OF the So
called Union" or Addicks Republican
party and the Regular Republicans on

mediate steps for the dlsbandment OF
the two factional organizations and the
creation Of single Republican party

hitherto the leader OF the Addleks forces.
Tho gasman is still combative ana per-
sists in the assertion that he Will vet
be elected Senator from Delaware. but
with his own forces turned against him
his course Is plainly run.
For ten years Addicks has kept the Re
publican party Of Delaware divided with
the larger part OF it hired for the excin-
sive purpose of sending him 10 the Sem
ate. In that time he has deprived the
state Of half OF its Senatorial represen-
tatlon for elk years, and OF all of IL for
two. The Republicans had Just succeed

State conventions and in State COM
mittees.
Harmony advocates may ignore this
subject, but it viii come up sooner or
later. We do not choose to ignore it
because finally il will have to be dis
cussed and decided.
The census of 1900 gave the city Of
Wilmington a population Of 7s.5os. ru-
raj New Castle ss.iss. Kent s2.7s2.
Sussex 42.276. Tn other words, New
Castle county. Including Wilmington,
has 1oa,6s7 persons. while Kent and
Sussex combined have 75,Oss. II rep
rescntatlon is to be based on popula-
ton. New Castle would have fourth
more delegates than the two lower
counties combined.
But suppose we reject population and
take the Republican vote at the last
election as basis. In round figures
Wilmington had 5000. rural New CAS-
tie a20o. Kent 42OO, and Sussex 5000.
IN other words. New Castle county has
over $4,000 Republican voters and Kent
and Sussex combined 10000.
We give these figures that our read
crs may have guide IN deciding in
their minds the representation the
respective districts ought to have
But suppose the argument that tho
rural population ought TO have great
Ter proportionate representation IL
sound. how much greater should 1t
he? Should the representatives Of
1900 voters outnumbcr the representa-
uves Of 5000? Should ten thousand
voters have a larger voice IN conven-
lions than thirteen thousand voters?
II 70. what il the basis OF the oalou-
lauon?
1t occurs to US that any scheme of
reorganization that even approaches
fairness should give TO Wilmington
equal representation with the other
districts. and to rural New Castle the
same. For although It Is claimed In
Kent and Sussex that the quality Of
citizenship cannot COM
pare with that OF Kent and Sussex, yet
shall we assume that the citizenship
Of rural New Castle is also inferior?
We mention this at this time because
1t is a question that win have to be
settled, and for the future Of the party
we think It should be settled equit-
ably.

It's not exactly an easy Job to stop

Yes. It works, and works in a stur-

The actual operation is worth more

I You should see the results. DO the

steady wages? Do the merchants
clerks. lawyers and teamsters as well

tres appreciate steady peace. DO tbs
railroad owners care to have each
town on the line humming along day

ling In satisfied peace? Is 1t worth
while for people in the community Ia
enjoy a steady flow of prosperity in

industrial warfare now and then fixed
on many communities? To produce
effective work the National Associa-
tion must have financial means to
