HOW THE DIVORCE MILL
GRINDS IN PROVIDENCE.

Here are some of the results from a
divorce search
Providence courts divorce about one
couple each day OF the year.
Five hundred and thirty two wayworn
victims OF matrimony made application
last year TO be released from bonds OF
this number 800 were allowed TO go free.
In Providence county last year there
were 3s7S marriages and the number in
the city itself was 2444
The proportion Of divorces granted to
the whole number Of marriages during
the same year was one TO every 1871 mar
rages.
In 1904 this proportion was to s.4 mar
rages, the great disparity in the two
proportions being due 10 the fact that
there were many more marriages last
year than during the preceding year. the
difference being 526.

A VOICE FROM THF TOMB.

It's like q voice from the tomb to
hear George Fred Williams proclaim
himself asocialist. Readers,of ancient
political history will recall that Will
Iiams vas one time a republic
car of the most rampant New Eng
land type. In the money campaign
Of 1895 he became a democrat of the
"C0in" Harvey persuasion aud took
such an active part in democratic
affairs ia Massachusetts that the little
handful of democrats left Intnat state
We're almost wiped off the man.
When the democracy was Dictated
in the nation and Williams wa
forced to take a rear seat at party
councils he became 81 populist. The
populist party had suffered many
hard knocks, but the blow ii receiv-
ed when George Fred Williams latch
ed himself on the organization was
too much and it was not long after
ward that it ceased attempts to do
business.
Having made the rounds Ct politi-
cal utilization so far as the regular
parties Wereconcerned, Williams dis
covered that there was a new party
TO which he had not sworn allie
giance-the sOciaIists-sO he hastens
to proclaim himself a socialist. This
is what baseball enthusiasts would
call "hard luck" for the socialists, for
Williams is a political Jonah.
A native of Massachusetts,, George
Fred Williams is a lawyer by profess
sion and a scholar Of marked attain
ments. His most serious fault is bis
apparent inability to anchor himself
firmly in a school Of political faith.
AS the Washington Post says, he is
a man Of ability, Of culture, Of lofty
ideals, rendered helpless for good by
the very intensity Of his character.
Had he been allowed what is called
a balance wheel, he wouldhave gone
far and accomplished much; but he
is impracticable, critical, censorious,
and his political career is a warning,
rather than a beacon, to the youth of
our country, full of enthusiasm ard
with high ideals.

LABOR Is SCARCE.
That is the Only Drawback Reported
by Dun and Company.

New York, July 3.-R. @. Dun y
Company's weekly review Of trade
tomorrow will say:
Aside from the seasonable dizziness
in Wholesale departments, CONNER
cial activity is we'll maintained, and
early preparations are made FIR fall
and winter business. August opened
with noadverSe developments in the
trade situation, while progress dur-
ing July was most favorable. Trade
reports are especiallygratifying from
the northwest and other points that
are dependent upon agricultural re-
suits, but All sections of the country
enjoy great prosperity. Scarcity Ct
labor is the only serious complaint,
the output OF coke being curtailed,
and there is delay il harvesting scme
crops, while strikes retard the re-
building of San Francisco. Comm =
dity prices are fairly steady, cheaper
grain because Of large crops being
Offset by strength in leading mate
rails OF manufacture, while legisla-
ton in Brazil advanced coffee sharp
iy. Railroad earnings in July were
80 per cent. larger than a year ago,
and foreign commerce at this port
shows gains of 3 ,355,669 in imports
and $483, 006 in exports as compared
with the same week Last year. 1t is
not often that managers Of 3 leading
industry are. uneasy regarding the
future because Of too much business,
yet that is becoming the situation at
iron furnaces and steel mills. Orders
on the books are far in excess to
similar comparisons i'll earlier years.
Tanners report that shoe manufac-
turers are buying sole leather only to
cover immediate needs. CONNER
cial failures for this in the United
States are 1870, against 2l6 last week.

THE SAGE FORTUNE.

While Russell Sage, the dead mil
lionaire f%nancier, did not directly
bequeath one dollar to charity, leav-
ing the great bulk of his estate to his
widow who is seventy-seven years of
age, it is announced that Mrs. Sage
will give millions to charitable OBJ
jects "in accordance with an under
standing reached by the fnancier
End his wife long ago."
1t is hoped this is true. If it is
the world will not regard the MEM
Dry of Mr.. Sage that of a man wholly
without a heart but will takea more
generous view of his character. It
is we'll known that Mrs, Sage has
spent much of her time in char table
work. She has interested herself in
various benevolent schemes and dur
ing her husbands lifetime drew
more or less literally upon his bank
account for money with which to
carry forward her charitable under
takings. How much sympathy MI.
Sage had with this work is a matter
of conjecture, Perhaps originally he
had none, for Russell Sage was heard
hearted. He had made fortune by per
sistent work and chad knocks" He
hadbeen givennoquarter and he had
asked none and was not disposed tC
make room for anyone else. But
maybe a Woman-his Wife-softeneC
him. Let US hope SO, at any event
A great fortune in the hands of
good Woman-and all accounts agree
that Mrs. Sage is not only a gO0C
woman in the ordinary acceptace o
the term but is devoted to charity
can be of vast service in the better
ment of general conditions, the allie
Walton of human suffering ant
the advancement Of civilization. S
whatever credid shall go to the Rus
sell Sage's fortune foT to good it ma,
do will be directly attributable to
woman, who welded a greater il
auence over the millionaire tina
even the money be possessed an

and her power to do good. May thu

1926; Texas leading with Alb. II
Missouri, Indian Territory and Okla
homa are included in the aOuth, that
section has 1868 national banks
Oklahoma and Indian Territory are
particularly rich ia this species o.
financial institution, the former hav-
ing 113, the latter 148. Maryland
has 81, Virginia 80, West Virginia
80, North Carolina 81, the District q
Columbia Is. The older States, hav-
ing State banks and private banks IA

portion than the new areas. The
South has 400 more national banks
than the Eastern States, 700 more
than the Western States, and six
times q many as the Pacific States.
Loans and discounts aggregate $751;
