Most civilized peoples of to-day, how

first, marriage is not merely reli-
gious sacrament to lie managed by
the church as formerly; it is also
social arrangement that affects more
than the two persons primarily in
volved-it affects especially their
children. Therefore, marriage, or,
rather, divorce, no longer can be
looked at in purely sentimental way,
as merely affecting the contracted
parties; it must be regulated, like
other matters, for the good of all
for the good of the children, at any
rate.
Indeed, the children are the pri-
mary consideration The parents
have made bargain. They have
made it as persons arrived at years
of discretion and, presumably, with a
mature knowledge Of each other and
of the accumulated experience of gen
erations. If they, with these advant-
ages erred, it should be they who,
rather than their unoffcnding children,
should pay the penalty of that error.
1t is not the convenience of the par
ents, but the welfare of the children,
which should be first Of all consulted.
Most reasonable PERSONS believe
that the laws governing divorce
should be uniform and should repre-
sent, not the pure ideals of the best
persons in the community, but those
practical ideaels which the community
can enforce upon majority of its
members Against tile immortality of
divorce they place the immortality of
the undivorced, and admit the neces-
sity of divorce for certain causes

THE JAPANESE ROBUSTNESS.

This Japanese business has passed
the humorous stage and is getting tire
some. Time was when the country was
even ROosevelt's opera bouffe coercion
of California to placate the little brown
men and keep their feelings at a mod
crate temperature, but apparently they
DO not appreciate the motives that
prompted the consideration for them.
They seem to think that fear Of trou-
Bile inclined your Uncle Samuel to ask
the Californians to go easy, whereas he
didn't really care much except that he
hated to see a neighbor feel badly. ana
so went through the motion of restrain
ing the untamed asses of the Pacific
coast who insisted in having a Ian
toasted for breakfast every morning.
Now, however, the matter has passed
the joking stage. France, as the most
recent of European nations TO establish
an entente with Japan, has offered her
good offices TO maintain friendly rela-
tions between Japan and the United
States. The offer is doubtless we'll
meant, but it is as superf1uous as would
be an effort to keep the peace between
this country and England. The govern
ment of Japan understands perfectIv
well the kindly regard this nation has
for its own; 1t could not be induced IN
undertake hostile measures against the
United States. 1t knows as well as we
do ourselves that the outbreaks in San
Francisco are temporary and sporadic
and that the federal government has no
excuse-and never had-for Interfering
with the unhappy conditions existing in
the coast city.
The trouble with Japan is that some
of it's politicians are bent on making an
issue with the United States for poIit-
ical purposes only, and they continue
10 foment disturbances at home for the
effect it will have on the political situ-
alton, rather than with any idea of
bringing matters to a crisis that would
compel war. Japan does not want q

MR. HARRIMAN,s CASE.

1t took some weeks and a good deal
of preliminary discussion 20 reach the
administrations conclusion not to pros
ecute Mr.. Hartman on a criminal
charge for his railroad operations dis
closed in the interstate commerce COM
missions hearings in New York. The
average layman knew in advance that
the talk of prosecution was largely
guff, and that when the actual decision
was made it would be negative. All
the administration had in mind was a
good impression, and that has been at
tanned by the extended discussion, the
interminable interviews with counsel,
and the presidents grand-stand CORE
spondence on the subject.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Harriman's
financiering was just such manipula-
tion of railroad securities as all the
friends and supporters of Roosevelt
have INDUCED in for years past. 1t was
entirely within the law, as the presi-
dent knew, and however reprehensible
it may have seemed to Roosevelt, it
was never made the subject of hostile
criticism until the president held up
his hands in holy horror at Mr. Harri-
mans frank revelations before the
commerce commission.
Besides, there is something satirical
in the thought of prosecution of Har-
riman by the man who was willing and
anxious to have the railroad magnate
raise funds for his presidential cam
paign only three years ago and less
Every step of the Union Paciffc's re-
Mobilization had been financed then,
Mr.. Hartman was as well known then
as now, he was exactly as conspicuous
in railroad circles, and he was so init
mate with Theodore Roosevelt that he
could be called into confidential con-
ference at the White House and en-
treated to save the republic by collect
ing. say, $500. 600 for the Republican
party.
For press purposes the intimatior
that the president thought of prosecuu-
ing his whiIom friend, Mr.. Hartman.
was all right: but it was a thousand TO
one bet that the prosecution would
never get any further than the press
agents stage-as the Friday announce
ment proved
