Limited Marriage.

Mrs Herbert Parsons suggestion of
trial marriages Is not novel. From time
to time in the past 1t has been preached
in one form and another, and 1t has always
evoked the same storm of protest that has
! followed this latest proposal. The greater
| stir caused by Mrs. Parsons plan for solv-
ing the matrimonial problem is doubtless
due to her social prominence. Thus far the
chorus of public comment has been almost
exclusively In condemnation. The idea is
fatty rejected, and for good reason. Those
who have studied the divorce question In
all its phases are agreed In declaring that
our present customs and laws in the mat
ter of marriages and separations consti-
tute no less than trial marriage" sys-
tenn in it's worst form. The only thing to
be said in favor of the Parsons plan is that
1t may be more regular In its irregularity.
Indeed, the Parsons plan is hardly worth
discussing seriously. 1t is impractical and
| ridiculous. Perhaps, however, it's proposal
will be of benefit. in centering attention
once more upon the divorce evil and con-
centrating public sentiment in favor Of the
adoption of uniform laws in all the states
which will make divorce less easy to obtain
in some communities and. perhaps, more
easy in others. What society needs today
Is a method of matrimonial alliances that
Is not subject to within and longitudinal and
latitudinal variations. 1t needs system, not
uncertainty.
Slowly the thinking people OF the United
States are being aroused to the point of
demanding uniformity in this matter. They
see the danger in submitting this vitality
important question to the whims and
vagaries of state legislators who may be
tempted, for the sake of a slight temporary
advantage to their commonwealths, to let
down the divorce bars and invite the domes-
tic seceders to take advantage Of loose
and liberal method of untying the matri-
monial knots They see the danger in per-
hitting the court DEGREES of one state to be
nullified by marriages across boundary
lines. They see the especial danger in
fomenting a spirit of disregard and even
contempt for the laws aroused by the COM
mon spectacle of divorce DEGREES obtained
under false pretenses.

spirit moves him 1t viii be IN his power to
inform the public about much that bears
upon men still in action.
Mr.. Croker tells US that he loves his
horses and enjoys life on his Irish estate.
We may believe that. His Irish blood
responds to the charms Of 'the old sod.
and his sporting blood tingles. as 1t should

exhilarating as holding the watch on

ting for the time all about politics and
everything else. His judgment is at stake,
and his cash gallops past on four legs AT
to carry q king to town.
But this Is a diversion. It is for holidays.
The man who knows and has played a
greater game cannot be altogether salts
fed with 1t. His mind and his heart will
"slip back to other experiences; and the
news from the political field takes prece-
dence when 1t comes over that from the
race track. 1t is the call of the blood

all games are tame in comparison with the
game of politics.
Let us not therefore be too sure. not

Mr.. Croker's Latest.

The fact that Richard Croker has grown
voluble seems to support his statement that
he Is through with political leadership. In
the old days he was dumb. He let the other
side do the talking An interview with him
was a rarity. and when he did speak it was
briefly and temporarily. Now he snuggles
up to the press and discourses about men
and measures freely. He Is even a little
yellow" In describing his enemies His
reference to Bourke Cochran In his latest
deliverance reads like campaign squib
from the New York American.
One may wonder how far In this direction
Mr.. Croker as a private citizen may be
tempted to go. While he was discreet and
reserved. 1t was entirely for political rea-
sons. That was his way of playing the
game. He knew many things, and must
have had pronounced opinions about many
men. The leader OF an organization like
Tammany Hall sees made. and helps make,
some interesting chapters of history. 1t is
in his power at any time by lifting the lid
to fill his little world with fiutter and
chatter. But the responsibilities of office
are great. and silence as policy is enjoin-
ed by a thousand considerations. Mr.
Cookers memory. however. Is probably
good, and his notes and papers will serve

What passes for public sentiment in San
Francisco seems to be extremely defiant on
the question of the segregation Of japanese
pupils in the public schools. Just how much
respect this sentiment is entitled to COM
mand may be gagged from the character OF
the local government which it tolerates and
its general attitude toward problems vitality

revelations that are being made Of the oper-
alton of a pervasive and shameless system
Of municipal graft in San Francisco sug-
gest callousness of the moral sense in that
community to- a degree hitherto unheard-ot
in this republic. The attempt to justify the
action of the school board on moral grounds
is in violent contrast with the legalized
traffic in immortality, IN it's most loathsome
form. on which some of the chief members
of the city government Of San francisco
appear to be growing ricn.

China's New Army.
From the New York Tribune

= ruii tue new 1Ork Tribune.
The Chinese military maneuvers, which
attracted some attention a fortnight ago,
were small in numbers and extent com
pared with those of the great military pow
ers of Europe, duplicating in all not more
than twenty-five thousand men; yet they
were exceptionally significant as the first
exhibition of the new army which China Is
earnestly and theoretically developing, and
they will repay the carefui observation and
study OF all who are interested in the prog
ress of affairs in that most populous en-
pire Of the world. Compulsory military
service has not yet been introduced into
China. and SO there has not yet been Gre
ated an army commensurate in size with
the population. But there has been q con-
siderable increase in the wages offered to
soldiers, with the result of a far greater
rush of recruits, or wouId-be recruits, than
ever before. Indeed, enough men have Of
fered themselves to give China the largest
army in the world. But-only q small pro-
portion of them have been accepted, be-
cause the required qualifications have been
raised much as the wages. All the Grip
pies, wastrels and illiterates are rejected.

The Railroad Smoke Pail LIFTING

The statement by the general agent Of
the Pennsylvania railroad in Washington
that his company Is already working on a.
plan for substituting electric motors for
locomotives to haul trains in the District
of Columbia is welcome. It Is not. how
ever entirely satisfactory. for It covers
only one Of the two main systems which
will use the new terminal. If the matter
Is left to the initiative of the railroads
slower progress toward the ideal of a
smokeless station will be made than though
the requirement were written into the laws
And this requirement should become a
statutory prescription in any case to keen
the railroads up to standard and to pre-
vent lapses in the future on the plea Of
cost or for other reasons
If the railroads are already considerjpr
this move no harm will be done in formalIv

cover all the railroads. II they are not
seriously considering the substitution O,

tending the operation of the smoke law to
the railroads. Its passage Ill put this case
on the right basis. Its defeat or continued
neglect will leave the situation such that
the community can obtain relief only as a
result of concessions by the corporations.
This enactment, indeed, should have been
made part of the original union station
act. so that the railroads could have had
ample warning of the requirement to aban-
don the locomotive. The general agent of

Hearst's Remuneration.

Mr. Hearst renounces all hope Of public
office. He says:
at will never again be q candidate 1
shaH continue to live in New YORK ana az
yocate and support the principles OF reform
which L have always stood Ior: oet uh tto
principles are sufficiently understood py inc
general public for 1t to be no longer neces-
eary for me to be a candidate, ana on thal
account to be attacked with such otter
ness.
There are signs that the election IN Nc"
York greatly chastened Mr.. Hearst. Pos-
sibly it opened his eyes to the manner III
which he had been worked by those VINO
were running him as political leader.
Maybe he has seen the error OF his ways.
At any rate, there are tokens or ne"
view OF affairs. and of his responsibilities
His papers no longer print cartoons WHICH
picture the trusts as loathsome monsters
always in opposition to the common people.
There is no longer the violent appeal OF the
demagogue to class prejudice. no longer the
bitter invectiye and the coarse epithet in
discussing public measures and pubic men.
1t is as though the decision of the people
of New York not to set Mr.. Hearst In the
governors chair at Albany had suddenly
awakened him from a political nightmare
Mr.. Hearst stands unique in our political
records as the first and only man to have
deliberately sought the office OIL President
and to have proposed to elect himself to
that office by means of money. His ef-
frontery has amazed the thinking people OF
the country, and his measure of success in
keeping himself before the country as a
political possibility has alarmed them. They
are now treasured, first by the votes cast
In New York. and finally by Mr.. Hearsts
own declaration that he Is through with
office seeking. They have reason to feel
that the menace has passed and that after
this spectacle no man is likely seriously to
propose himself for high Office anu to seek
1t through the agency OF his own vast for
tune.
As for the continuance of the so-called
Hearst doctrines, they may be considered
as the ffotsam and jetsam of politics.
They are not especially novel, and they are
not seriously to be considered save in con-
nection with the Hearst personal candidacy.
They have been used assets In the cam
paign of the man for the place, and sep
arated from that campaign they lack force
and significance.
- Mr.. Hearst Is to be congratulated upon
having discovered his own political impos-
sibility. He will save himself much money
and probably prolong his life by ignoring
henceforth the temptations that have been
insidiously spread before him by the gang
surrounding him.

tors on Long Island. with a fair degree Of
success. but that there remain some prob

regarded as an entire success. 1t is not to

fixed date the experiments would have been

Paper.
Diller, Neb., 1896.
Mr.. G. II. Eberle, Editor Cham.
pion, Downer, Cal.
Dear Sir:-Mrs. Stull, myself
and family enjoyed our trip from
Los Angeles to Utah, Idaho, Colo
RADIO and Nebraska, and we are
now near Diller, Nebraska.
Our first visit was at Lehi City,
Utah, with our Mormon relatives.
From there we went TO Idaho, then
returned to Logan and Hyde Park,
Utah, and we desire to extend our
sincere thanks to our Mormon rela-
tives for their hospitality and
kindness while we were with them.
We only intended TO stop in Utah
four or five days but when we got
there we found we had over 800
relatives i'm Utah besides a few in
Idaho, and we can truly say that
we are not ashamed of any Of them,
but rather sorry we haven't that
many more Mormon relatives.
They were so good and kind to us.
We spent two weeks and three
days with them, and the first
LOrdsday they took us to their
Sunday School in the morning,
which we enjoyed very much; in
the afternoon we went to their
church, also in the evening, and
had the honor of occupying the
pew next to the front in a $40, 900
church. The services were all good
and conducted in a Christian like
manner. The last Lordsday we
were with them, they took us to
church in the afternoon, where
1900 people had gathered to wor-
ship, ana the same evening 1900
people were in attendance; so we
truly believe the Lord is with these
people.
Respectfully yours,
Henry Stull.
