The Marriage Rite.

II was recorded In our news columns
yesterday that several ministers OF Rich
mond refused to join in wedlock a couple
who had applied TO them, the ground Of
refusal being that the man in the case
was divorced from his first wife. who
was sin living.
Tho man was assured by some of his
friends that the preachers had no legal
right to refuse to perform the ceremony.
ar the law required them to recognize
q license properly issued.
That point was raised by The Timex
Dispatch several months ago. The Code
provides in section 22l9 that when a
minister of any religious denomination
shall. before the court of any county
or corporation in this State produce
proof of his ordination, and of his being
in regular communion with the religious

Whv Richmonders Are Rich.

The Nashville American Is not prepared
to believe that Richmond has as many
rich men as The Dispatch claims.
Nashville" says our contemporary, has
three or four citizens who are worth
from 500, 900 to 100000, and several who
are worth from 100000 10 100000
Memphis has one citizen who is worth
probably 100000, and several who arc
worth from 100000 to $l,Go0o00, Chatta-
pooga has one or two mlllonalres, and
Knoxville has one who is perhaps the
richest man in the State.
How does It happen that Richmond has
| so many men of large wealth, as wealth
| goes in the South? The opportunities IN
Richmond and Virginia for developing
and accommodating wealth are not superior
| to those IN many other Southern States

The investigation of the Pennsylvania
Railroad by the Interstate Commerce
Commission has opened up fostering
sore to the purifying influences OF pub
licity. The immediate effect will dis
credit and damage the present manage
ment of that system, but the ultimate
result of these disclosures will better the
entire railroad conditions In America.
For years graft In; the Pennsylvania has
either been known or suspected ana
other railroads have apologlzed for their
own dereliction by pointing to the known
departures OF the Pennsylvania from
the path of moral rectltude. President
Cassatt will have great difficulty in ex-
planning his statements to President
Roosevelt, for Mr.. Cassatt was either
grossly ignorant of the true state of
affairs or deliberately deceived the Chief
Executive of America on most fun
damental question.
Conditions on the Baltimore and Ohio
are no better, but these revelations will
make such perversions OF justice far
more difficult in the future and the ul-
innate result will mean better service,
fairer dealings and higher honesty for
the public.
