Royal Decree Not Liked.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MADRID, October 27.-All the Spanish
bishops, including those of the Balearic
and Canary Islands, are Joining In the
movement of protest against the royal
decree regulating civil marriages. The
bishops employ language of so violent a
character in denouncing the decree that
1t leaves them open to proceedings before
the criminal tribunals. It is now known
that the government has decided to prose-
cute the bishops when they use words or
take any action likely to bring the authorI-
ties into disrespect. The minister of the
interior was occupied today in drawing up
the provisions of the projected new law
relating to religious associations, which
enjoy extraordinary privileges under the
existing law One section of the proposed
new law provides for the abolition Of the
present modus vivendi with Rome in re-
spect of the congregations.

have fatty refused to repair engines for
the Southern railway. The Norfolk and

Roosevelt the Issue.

Roosevelt the Issue.
The speaker finally referred to the fact
that Mr.. Roosevelt was the issue because
the issue really was whether that which
had been done by the Congress and the
admin. stration in the last ,wo years en-
titled the President and the republican
party to a continuance of the confidence
which was expressed in them in the cleo
ton of 1907. The congressman, therefore
were entitled to use the immense popu-
larity and confidence which the people had
in the President to secure their return TO
Congress. ANA nothing could be more
absurd than the statement that the election
of a democratic Congress would aid the
President. First, it would be properly re-
Earded as a vote of want of confidence IN
him. and second, It would interfere with
all the plans that he had for additional ana
remedial legislation.
Mr. Griggs. the chairman of the demo-
cratic congressional committee. had an
nounced that the purpose in electing a
democratic House was to show that the
administration was noneycombsd with graft
While the administration courted an inves-
tigation. it did not court a partisan, yellow
journal fishing excursion. which could not
but Interfere with the Legitimate. ana nor
nal legislation in Congress, and which was
to be simply used as an irstrumentality to
enable the democratic party to elect its
candidate at the next political election. The
truth was that if a democratic House was
elected 1t would take no course to aid the
President. but would simply be engaged in
attempting to put the republican Senate and
republican President lin Il hole"

THE PENSION BURDEN.

Recently when the house passed the Ein appropriating $140,Co0,o00 to meet the pension bill for the next fiscal year. Representative Gardner, of Michigan presented strongly the enornity of the pension burden. It has been forty-one years since the civil war closed, but the pension ap- propriaton keeps close to the maxi mum, and there is little prospect that the nation will ever be rid of the burden.
 Mir. Gardiner showed that there are still six names on the pension roll of the war of the revolution that ended 123 years ago, 5000 on that of the war ot 1912, and ii 400 on that of the Mexican war, fought in 1S46, as well as about a half-million on that of the civil war. There are today, he said, more names on the pension roll of the war with Spain than were troops under Shafter in Cuba. The total en- listment for the war with Spain was approximately 312.000. MT. Gardner calculates that thirty years from now there will be 32,000 Spanish war pen sioners on the rolls and a long list of those of former wars will still finger. petitioners to date has been the al most inconceivable sum of $3,000,- 000,0OO
 Mir. Gardner showed that France pays for pensions each year $26,1S0,- 0G0; Germany, $2165S,00O; Austria Hungary, $1o,723,4s2, and Great Bri- tain, $9,S56, ,00O The aggregate paid by these four great powers is $68 ,427.- ! eS7 or less than one-half paid by the United States.
 When these figures are considered, the United States may we'll stand in dread of future wars, even small ones. War, while it lasts, even a successful war, is terribly expensive, but under | the generous pension policy which this government pursues it is never ending burden.
 If the pensions were voted so freely i for none but patriotic motives they might be better endured, but it is plain enough to all who observe that they have come largely through the politicians bid for the soldier vote

A "HoT TIME" IN GEORGIA.

There's 'shot time" in Georgia; in fact, the crackers are engaged in one of the hottest campaigns that ever came down the political pike. Clark Howell. editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and Hoke Smith, former secretary of interior under Cleve- lands last administration and who has some connection with the Atlanta Journal are rival candidates for gov ernor, and the contest has been and is bitter and deunnciatory. There is mud-fiinging on both sides. In re- cent speech MT. Powell accused the Journal of having surrendered it's con- victions, and in reply Mr. Gray, editor of the Journal. denounced Mr. How. ellis statement as false. On it's front page the Journal caricatures MT. Howell. and on it's front page the Constitution caricatures Mir. Smith. This sort of thing goes on day after day, and it would appear from the general appearance and tone of these newspapers that the most important question of the people of Georgia is the candidacy of these editors.

THE VALUE OF PUSH.

Push is the Americanism for per severance It is that quality which en- ables d man to keep moving when things are dark and blue. When cour- age fails, and inspiration ceases, then the spirit of push enables a man to go forward. Push is to life what steam is to the engine. It drives the wheels of trade and opens up possi- bilities for the future. When the mer- chant finds that orders are coming slowly, and the balance is on the wrong side of the ledger, instead of despairing and weeping he gathers his forces we'll in hand, and makes another assault, Push knows no fail ure and refuses to, be overthrown by defeat. When beaten at one outpost, it immediately seeks another. It was the spirit of push in the fathers of the country that gave us free Ameri- ca. It was the same spirit that open. ed up the west and gave a land of untold wealth to a struggling people. It is easy to remain in the city of conventionality, but the hardy pusher writes on his banners "More Be- yond," and strikes out into the un- known and uncharted. The pusher denies himself many of the comforts C.: life, but his energy wisely expend- ed, brings delight and comfort to thou sands of others, who perhaps never know his name, or dream of his work. Push is one of the foundation stones of success. Don't be afraid to push.
