Whatever views may be held of di-
vorce. there is one feature of divorce
trials which is repulsive to all people
of good feeling which it is a pity
there is not some law to abolish, and
that is bringing little children into
court as witnesses against accused par
ties. Such impressions as are then
gained might never leave a child's
mind and general public policy seems
to be against the practice.

Law Honesty"

Something more than new laws is
needed TO restore a social conscience t.
those seats of finance and commerce
from which it seems 10 have been
driven. The significance of the pre-
vailing ferment in American life is
that it is no longer deemed enough to
be law honest" To rely on laws
alone is to reduce the plane of social
life to the level of the lowest common
denomination. There are potencies in
public opinion large enough to restrain
the tempted man from profitable COM
mercial weakness, to hold back the ra-
pacious man from his p;racies, to re
ward the man who under difficulties is
true to himself. One of the hopeful
signs of the times is that these poten-
cies are being organized. 1t is going
to be easier than it has been for mer
to be as square in their business Offices
as they are outside of them.

Trail Day" in the West

A movement is spreading throughout
the west which has for its object the
permanent marking of the old trails
along which the country was penetrat
ed and crossed by adventures and
emigrants in the period before the con-
struction of railroads. This is a high
ly praiseworthy undertaking and to the
degree that the object is faithfully ac-
complished will be a more noteworthy
contribution to history than many OF
the books that are so classed. Out in
Kansas they have trail day." which
is observed in the Kansas public
schools. The purpose of it is to i'll
struct the children in the history {
the old Santa Fe trail, with its signifi-
canoe in the growth of the west and
through the interest thus aroused in
the community to raise money for
marking the course of the trail which
stretched for 400 miles across what is
now the state of Kansas when it was

FROM THE DJPE BOX

Burlington Hawk-Eye: That Bur
lingtOn is assured place in the Three
Eye league next year if the presentsa
tendance keeps up, is the good news
received yesterday by Manager Egan
Of the Pathfinders. The letter is OF
considerable moment and the following
extract from il is printed verbatim. iii
order that the fans of this city may
realize exactly how the Burlington club
stands. The name Of the sender of the
letter may net be printed at this time,
but it may be stated that he is a gentle
man who has great influence in the
Eye league and at the present
time is one of the most prominent Off
cials of the Decatur club. The letter
says in part: There is not the slight
est question that there will be one va
cancy in our league next year. and pos
sibly two. for we have a section in our
constitution that any club whose paid
attendance falls below 10000 for the
season is necessarily out and its fran
chise in the hands of the league. If
there is only one out. | will favor Bur
lington. and if two. wouldn't Quincy be
a good town." Mr.. Egan was very
much pleased upon the receipt of the
letter above mentioned He said that
he could now promise the fans of this
city that he could give them Three
Eye league ball, next season, if they
did their share. Admittance into the
Three-Eye league can only be secured
0y showing an attendance above or at
least equal TO 10000 paid admissions in
one season. Judging from the records
of Burlington's attendance in the past
half of the year, this city can present a
total of between 10000 and $4,000 paid
admissions at the end of the season.

Yesterdays showing By the Island
ers at Moline was virtually as bad as
defeat. especially in the eyes of those
who did not see the contest. To those
who were there the handicap of partial
umpiring may have offered some excuse.
Nevertheless the days experience
serves again to show that it does not
pay for a professional team to play out
of its class. this being particularly
true where the aggregation is situated
as Rock Island is. drawing part of it
patronage in the city where il is
shown up In the first place, the
contest is 4 much more serious affair
to the weaker aggregation and to the
fans who support it than it is to the
professionals The latter consider it
a sort of holiday. while the former are
in deadly earnest. Then there is the
question of partial umpiring always to
be reckOned with and that is likely to
cut figure in the result Under the
circumstances the higher class team is
sure to make the poorer showing and
to be held up to ridicule in conse-
quence. This affects the patronage of
unthinking persons who do not weigh
all the circumstances and what is far
more serious, is interpreted as a reflec-
ton on the class of ball furnished by
