REV. W. F. D. LEWIS
VIEWS ON MARRIAGE
Wedlock Considered a Sacra
ment Even by the Heath
en- Races

In Rodney Street Church last night
the Rev. W. F. D. Lewis preached an
interesting sermon on the sacredness
Of marriage. which was listened to
with marked attention by a large con-
gregation.
In part Mr.. Lewis said. The sane
tity OF marriage was considered in the
heather world as well as in the Chris
tian world and we can gather many
examples of the sacredness Of this sac
rament from the heather world. The
question of marriage is serious one
and should be considered as such in
this day and generation. We do not
need the loose divorce laws nor do we
desire notions about marriage any less
strict than those we already have. The
Question TO be considered is the re-
aponsibility that deVolvts upon the
contracting parties when man and a
woman choose their life partners
In the Christian religion woman has
been greatly honored and takes a high
place and when Scripture teaches that
she should obey It does not mean Il
subservient subjection. for il we can
understand the circumstances In which
these words were written. we can un-
derstand the. meaning OF them. Where
true love exists between husband and
wife and where both are Christians
it Is hardly necessary to define these
obligations one to another.
Love for God involves love for one
lanother. II we could be of the same
mind together in the home life we
would always be considerate OF each
lotner. There are certain valid rea-
sons for divorce. I viii admit. These
are inhdelity. extreme brutality and a
few others but it is all because hus-
band and wife have not the Christian
lgraces in them. ! think that a great
many divorces are due to the fact that
so many people are uneQually yoked
together and who ind to their cost
how bitter a thing it is to destroy the
obligations that are results of the most
sacred ties in the world"

Mr.. MORRIS GARDEN
OF TROPICAL NATURE
Dover Banker Is Growing
Cotton, Tobacco, Rice
and Peanuts
speela. to The Evening Journal.

Dover, July Experimental garden
ing has become a great fad among men
Of alwalks of life in and around the
state Capitol. Delaware can grow any
thing that can be grown anywhere else. %
was the astonishing assertion of one ex-
perimental gardener today But the most
remarkable garden Delaware. If not in
the whole country is that OF Walter Nor
ris. the well-known Dover banker. who
takes keen interest in producing articles
of food Just to see how the ground gives
them forth
Mr. Morris garden consists Of less than
an acre and is worm going a long dis
tance TO see. It will convince the most
skeptical that many things can be grown
in Delaware which are not in everybody s
garden, and nearly every crop is now in
fun blossom or approaching maturity.
The rows are about 15O feet long and
the diversified elrden is bringing forth
vegetation as follows.
Row No. contains cotton. principally
of the South Carolina variety.
Row No. contains cotton louisiana
and Texas and tobacco The tobacco is
hourishing even more surprisingly than
is the cotton.
Row No. g contains rice II looks very
much like tan grass and if a strange
gardener eveT got in Mr.. Norris patch
he would probably weed it out. unless he
were a Chinsman or Jap.
Row No. . contains buckwheat in fun
blossom and peanuts. The peanuts are
the double -jonted California variety.

tenn Of checking inaugurated by State
Treasurer Thomas n. Rawlins.
Each beneficiary or employe was
paid off with a tri-partite check. =
large pink paper in three sections.
none of which was good without tha
other. The first section is a voucher,
stating what service the payee ha
rendered the State. The second
middle section is the face of the checkN
itself, to be honored by any bank III
the State. but made out upon the StateA
depository. the Farmers Bank al
Dover. The third section is a fdrma4
receipt for the payment. with the date
to be filled so that every man who re
ceives a cent from the State will now
have TO receipt for il before he gets
it, as the receipt thus signed is the en-
dorsement of the big check.
Hitherto il has been troublesome for
the State to get receipts for all its
money paid out. and If a receipt were
obtained it would cost probably four
cents, as a stamped envelope would
have to be enclosed to the payee Now.
however, the receipt comes back, all
properly signed and dated, through the
bank, and the vouchers being uniform
are stored in a book where they cor
respond with coupons TO which they
were formerly attached.
The salary list Of the State. which,
must be met beside all the other run
ming expenses for supplies and school
books, is diversified. The largest
check paid out in the salary list is
that Of the Chancellor. $3.50 for thet
quarter, while the smallest is Nat OF

JOHN ~.

TT is given to few men in public l'fe
4 TO win so large a measure of pub
lie approval as did John Hay. And no
man in the great office Of Secretary of
state ever commanded such general
admiration and respect The shafts OF
criticism aimed by the opposition par
ty at the administration always fell
short of the Secretary of states office.
They We're not intended for him.
Mr.. Roosevelt declares that Mr.. HAY
was the greatest Of all the Secretaries
who have held the state portfolio.
This might be set down to a wish AT
this hour TO be generous to Mr.. Hays
memory were it not also the Judgment
of Americans in general and foreign
diplomats who in the last eight years
have watched the great influence OF
our state Department in international
affairs. And few there are who viii
mot pay tribute to the genius which
has discovered problems before they
were generally evident, and which has
sought to solve them along humane and
rational lines
Nj. Hay has made a profound inn
press on diplomacy. The shirt sleeve
diplomacy OF the old days which was.
peculiarly American has been trans
formed. but it essential spirit remains
unchanged. Though It lacked polish
and subtlety, it was nevertheless hon
est, and this element dominated every
onicial act of Mr.. Hay.
When "a young man. as the private
secretary Of President Lincoln. he had
an exceptional opportunity Of devlop-
ing those talents which were event.
ually to make him the premier diplo-
mst The straightforward honesty OF
Lincoln and his disposition to go to the
bottom OF all questions in search OF a
principle has been reflected I'm MIR.
Hays career. He was man Of large
culture and charming personality. and
his quiet force was recognized wher-
ever he appeared Through two ad
ministrations he has been the strons
star on which the Chief Executive has
leaned, and several members Of the
Cabinet could have been spared better
than Mr.. Hay.
Like most men Of genius his capaci-
ties led I'm many directions. Had he
devoted his life to literature as he has
done largely 20 displomacy he would
probably have died as one OF our great
men Of letters, for the work OF his ear
lier years proved his ability.
John Hay is dead and another will
become Secretary OF state, but nobody
can exactly take his place-certainly
nobody who can inspire the universal
confidence and esteem that Mr.. Hay
has Inspired.

that wnen the voter brought back the

PETITION AGAINST CANNON.

alleged that votes had been accepted

subscribed to the constitutional oath

duty before Judge Cochran II devel-
oped, however. that he had not sub

then called attention to the fact that
Mayor Wilson had taken the same
oath. As the latter was present he
was willing TO again be sworn and
Judge Cochran then administered the
constitutional oath.

the dAy OF that memorable address.
The doubts Of Lincoln were resolved in
favor Of the integrity and the perpetu-
lty Of the Union. We had our bitter
lesson and have prohted by ii. We
have proved that "a nation so con-
ceived and SO dedicatedr can endure
The past has had its problems and the
gravest of them was settled by the
sword and sometimes we fancy that
our foundations are so secure that
nothing can shake us
Yet the most optimistic cannot Fail
to see evidence OF disorders witch ar
feet such large numbers Of our people
that even the general prosperity cam
not prevent discomfort For mere pow
erty does not cause unrest and lead 10
|agitation Il is A sense of wrong. which
leads to disorder. Strikes are not so
much protest against low wages as
Ia proper or mistaken demand for what
labor deems It's share
So in the broader held Of general en-
terprise. equity Is deinanded even
above the compensation in dollars In
the agitation against the trusts we
don't care particularly whether they
have made millions for their managers
nor are we discontented with our own
pittance but what concerns us more is
have they through fraud or unequal in.
dustrisl conditions taken what belongs
to us and not to them?
Now the Industrial problem is our
problem today and not mere political
problem embraced in the questions Of
secession and slavery such as aeitated
our fathers. II the beef trust has
robbed us by unlawful means. we want
an accounting. II the oil trust by in
fuencing legislation. evading the
courts DEGREES, rebates and draw
backs have taken from the pockets Of
the people what was rghtfully theirs.
then the eyes of the people cannot be
diverted from their object-redress.
The American people have vast
deal Of common sense. and with the
lessons Of the past to guide them are
not likely to make any rash moves.
But the growing disposition of great
TO regard themselves as

oReAhlzlNe COUNCIL.

va. HEN tho Democrats resorted TO a
wv rather silly trick OF trying to
have an expiring Council decide the mem-
bership OF the new body we expressed
nne opinion that the new Council would
decide the Qualifications of its own mem
berss and the court took the same view.
I'VE said further that if-anyhody wanted
10 make a contest he should file notice IN
due form and that at the proper time it
to1id be beard. But the events attending
the arst meeting leave us in some doubt.
and We arc. somewhat az sea as TO what
may be expected.
We know little about the merits OF the
.respecuve contests. but we are sorry that
ths Republicans seem to think that they
are 10 duplicate Democratic method by
snsp 5Gdzments.
Mr, wnhs sought in the FIRST place to
haNehis contest settled in an. ipessl man
rier. and vory naturally the Bepnblioana

contention, but they should have rather
invited ahtsring Of his case ainder proper

me Ioyic Of their position. and beside,
thst they Nerssmepared 70 hear any con.
test ana decide hnpartially.
To sndeavor then. TO make the hlns

10 say that he had no grounds for that
IS The very question which under the law
Council is called upon to determine. Be
sides. II IL was believed that he had no
case, the wise thing would have been to
have invited a hearins at which the facts
could have come OUT ii would have been
good politics
We trust that il will appear in the end
that the Republicans have two-thrds
majority. legally elected but we shall
not know unless there is full and fair
hearing OF al contests. and even the
suspicion Of steal should be avoided
For il is as reprehensibie TO steal seat
in Council as IL IS 70 o.stesl pair OF shoes
This Republican Council at the outset
shouid endeavor TO win the esteem OF
the people, but their hrst acts do not lead
in that direction. we know that in an.
swer Democratic sins are recounted. but
that isn't an answer. Unless the Republi-
