GERMAN CROWN PRINCE
WORRIES HIS FATHER

Emperor William has determined to
send his oldest son to the administrative
president of the province of Branden-
burg in order 20 be trained in the mys-
teries of the German civil service. Six
months are considered enough for this
young man 10 learn the various details
OF departmental routine.
People here are laughing at this. The
crown prince is not a gifted Individual.
and there is a widespread feeling that
hitherto he has dIssipated his energies
largely on tribes. Notwithstanding the
nerce light that beats on courts hardly
anything is known Of this young man,
and the impression gains ground that
there is nothing TO be known. Some
amiable traits OF character he certain
~ has shown. but on such unimportdnt
lines that nothing indicative OF char
actar has been displayed.

MdiSSoMbIe Contract
With God Is Marriage;
Criticism By a PzieSt
Easy Divorces Here and in Europe Show Moral
Laxity-Great Sinners Are Anglers in
Matrimonial Pond.
By FATHER cUrHBERr, o. S. F. C.

God TO fulfil the purpose for which He
has ordained the marriage state, and
which alone renders II lawful for them
to live together as man and wife. To
ignore that purpose In their contract is
to commit a sacrilege; TO desecrate a
sacrament.
And now for the argument that an in
dissoluble marriage bond is an injustice
where mutual inclination does not exist
and a temptation TO unlawful pleasure.
Casting for Gold Fish.
It is urged that in such cases great
suffering is entaiied and marriage be-
comes burden rather than a JOY. sure
~ the same argument would strike
blow at all morality which demands sac
rifice or the acceptance of pain. Were
such an argument valid. a mother might
lawfully forsalke her child when the
care of il becomes irksOme; a soldier
might run away from the battlefield be
cause his life in in danger; in fact. each
man might. on the strength of that ar
gument, cast of all responsibility what
ever as soon as il is felt TO be a burden.
The worse sinners. perhaps, against
the sanctity of marriage are those pa-
rents who bring up their children to look
forward TO marriage primarily from the
standpoint of social convention or social
advancement Is ii 10 be wondered at
that these children when they come 10
marry. in time kick against the re-
straints and responsibilities. which in
fact, flow from a moral ideal of which
they have been taught nothing? Surely
such parents deserve more rebuke and
scorn than does the daughter who, IN
der the influence of their teaching, casts
of restraints and shocks society.

Lord Dudley was one Of the most
popular vieeroys Ireland ever has had.
Although a lifelong Conservative, he
was a firm believer in home rule.
His reign at Dublin Castle was par

Lord Dudley a Liberal peer instead Of
