MILWAUKEE, Wis. March administers
of Protestant denominations in Wisconsin,
after commencing the stand Of the Epis-
copal Church and the Vatican in reference
to divorce. have agreed to favor more
stringent regulations on this subject.
One Of the ministers at meeting held
on this subject said the wedding fee must
have less influence with certain ministers
who are asked to marry couples OF doubtful
character The larger individuality In
American life is also ascribed as reason
for the startling size Of the divorce records.
Startling statistics were submitted by
Rev. L. H. Keller, who took up the status
of the divorce question in the United
States.
I'm the last twenty years the United
States, with its population of SOOOO,OOO, has
all Europe, with its 34OOOo, 900 population,
granted 214,0OO divorces. Apparently more
divorces occur in families where there are
either few or no children. or where there
are many children. Desertion Of wives is
becoming SO frequent as to demand drastic
remedies. Where money Is the standard OF
life, family ties are weakened and divorces
are frequent.
go to pieces. The strain Of our modern CIV
ilization is falling most heavily upon the
families of the great middle class, who are
supposed to be the strength Of our civiliza-
ton.
From the standpoint of the law, the
tide has turned and is now setting to better
laws and their enforcement. Most of the
states actually throw more legal safeguards
around the city lot, the farm or any old
plug than they do about the home. But
we are seeing things and turning in the
right direction"
Rev. s. A. Rose, urging What the
Church Should Do" said first, that it
ought to blush for shame over the prevail
ing conditions. The Catholic and Episcopal
churches were the only ones to stand for a
literal Interpretation of the Scriptures.
Rev. Henry Coleman apparently doubted
the efficacy Of stringent divorce laws, citing
the immoralities of France and the condi-
lions in South Carolina.
The association voted to become an auxil-
larry to the Wisconsin Federation Of Christ
ian Bodies.

The recent war, which centered its most
noteworthy features here, held the whole
worlds attention. This present religious
conflict while less spectacular, is also stra-
tegic. Buddhism and Shintoism are not here
in force or power. The ancient religious
associations are lacking. The outward signs
such as idols and shrines Of the ancestral
creeds are wanting. Christianity is here
and displaying marked vitality. 1t looks
like rare chance for the latter.
In addition to Mr.. Winn's work Che being
the only American missionary on the pen
insula), the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton Is serving the soldiers, who still abound
all over this region. Another laudable en-
terprise is that Of rescue work, in which
were engaged, before 1t was given over to
the Salvation Army. The reader must re-
member that the debris Of war is the COM
monest sight here. The stranded camp fol-
lowers and all the harpies that follow in
the wake Of an army are almost as numer-
Gus as the discarded army mules which
trudge patiently along every road. AS soon
as hostilities were over thousands of young
girls were brought into Manchuria from
Japan, many Of them of incredibly tender
years and most of them actual slaves. Hun
dreds Of these poor creatures have been
rescued by the Christians.
Further up the peninsula and throughout
Manchuria are the missions to the Chi
nese Of the Scotch and Irish Presbyterian
churches, which do not properly come with
in the scope Of this article. During the
war these men, who are far above average
grade, did such conspicuous humanitarian
service that their praise was sounded by
Japanese, Russians and Chinese. DR.. West
water, at Liaoyang, was officially mentioned
by Marshal Oyama and given substantial
contribution for his hospital. The war cor
respondents likewise found shelter and sue
cor within the homes of these sturdy Scotch
men and Irishnlen.

ferred upon the Wins, for Mrs. VIM is as
popular as her husband with the japanese
and herself a resourceful, tireless mission
airy. While the American consul was utter
ly unable to secure home, one was pro-
vided, rent free, for the Wins by the
government. Even more noteworthy was
the fact that the Russian cathedral was
turned over to this infant Japanese church
for its meetings. The japanese Christians
talked in the newspapers SO much about
this remarkable concession that the au-
draw it, but not until 1t had been found
by the congregation that in location and
construction the cathedral was unsuited to
their purposes. A new building was fur
nished by the government and this Is now

In this building two Sunday services are
held. The congregations vary because Of
the shifting nature Of the population. The

ward of hundred men. In the afternoon
Mr. VIM had Bible class with students
and civilians and Mrs. VIM one with po-
lcemen.
Except for the missionary's salary the
church is quite self supporting. 1t is more
aggressive than many long established con-
gregations in Christian lands, for it main

PORT ARTHUR IS NOW THE SCENE
OF A RELIGIOUS CONFLICT.

cations. Once they closed around him. and
again he turned and faced them.
little further on, as the crowd grew
more and more vehement and the clamor-
ings for his life became more insistent, he
darted suddenly up dark alley, although
he knew that should he begin to run his
rate would be quickly sealed when caught.
Strangely enough, he was not followed. 1t
was many years before he learned why.
On one occasion he was introduced to a
big Japanese, then become Christian, as
the man who had once saved his life 1t
appeared that the man was a ringleader
of the mob; Mr.. Winn's attitude had led
him to change his mind, and when the mis-
sionary ran up the alley he stepped in and
barred pursuit. He had to knock down a
number of men and throw two into the
river, but the pursuit was discouraged.
In sharp contrast to those stirring days,
Mr.. Winn, than whom no Caucasian Is
more popular with the Christians of the
island empire, was called unanimously to
become pastor Of the new Dalny and Port
Arthur church. When the attitude Of the
Japanese churches toward the missionaries
Is remembered and 1t is recalled that in all
Japan there is not another white pastor Of
q native congregation, this peculiar honor
conferred upon Mr.. Winn becomes the more
marked. The man himself is quiet retiring

A Hint to Husbands

Isn't it strange that some men. who will be kind and obliging to their neighbors, gentlemanly and polite to other ladies, will be so rude and cold and harsh at home. and perfect bears to their wives era bbed, snappish, ungenerous and altogether unsocial and hatefuly Does anybody know of any such men? Not that we wish to lay all the wrong doing and blame on mankind, or condemn them ell masse, not at all. There are plenty of good, noble men, but not quite enough. When they are so strong, and have so much power to do good, and win love, and bless their homes, why won't they all do it.
 Circumstances alter cases" :" Some mems wives are trying enough to wear out the patience oi Job; but then, in the perversity of things, you will generally find a real bear of a man united with a fraii, patient, forhearing and for giving wife. She is your wife, Mir Bear, and the mother of your children. and probably dependent on you for home and means, and can't get away from you; so. of course, she is in your power and you can treat her just as you choose. But if you expect her heart to bound with pleasure when she hears your footsteps, or to proffer you caresses, or to rejoice in your presence, you are much mistaken. She is human-neither more nor less. Please reverse your situations and conditions How much, and how long would you bear such treatment as you give her? You will inevitably be weighed for just what you are and there is no help for it.

The National Irrigation Congress

Sacramento, Aug. 29.-The Ma tional Irrigation Congress, which will be held in this city Septem Der 2 7 next, promises to be the scene of some of the liveliest debates in recent history. The management has practically challenged both the supporters and the opponents of what is known IS the administra- : tion policies with reference to the public land to defend their respect i've positions on the rostrum here.
 The question of how far the national government should go in the control of the public lands is recognized as one of the leading questions before the American people, and the Irrigation Congress management wants these discussed because it proposes that this shall be congress of real, live, up-tu- date issues. During the last two or three weeks letters and tele- grams have been sent from the headquarters in this city to men who are especially prominent and whose participation would make this a debate of national import ance. Clifford Pinchot, United States forester, has responded with the assertion that he will come prepared to debate with any man the governments forest policy Among others who have been in- vited to interest themselves, either by participating in person or seeing to 1t that the issue is properly pre- sented here, are U. $. Senator Burkett of Nebraska. Governor Frantz of Okla homa, Senator War. ren of Wyoming, Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, Senator Mel son of Minnesota and Murdc Mackenzie, president of the Ameri can live stock association of Colo ] rado.

SORE ON STATEHOOD

u0 " dSHIllS lOll OSt, WuOSc editorial mind has always figured Arizona to be a land of shooting irons, desert and Indians, now bursts forth in another spasm in which it warns the politicians of this territory and New Mexico not to bother congress any more con- corning statehood. As the Wash ington Post, to more or less extent. reflects the sentiments of the present administrator the latest outburst is given. herewith:
 Reports are coming in to the effect that the politicians of New Mexico and Arizona are planning 10 make another statehood fight in congress next winter. The New Mexicans are anxious for separate statehood If they can get it, but are willing to be yoked to Arizona if necessary. Arizona objects to this jointure. but is perfectly will ing to become separate state.
 "The president can do nothing more wise and timely than to squelch the premature attempts oi both territories to become states. Congress will help him in the task. If he should decide that the terri tories should become one or two states, and should recommend action at the next session, it is extremely probable that he would be inviting rebuff. There is nothing to indicate that the presi dent has failed to appreciate the meaning of the statehood election in Arizona and New Mexico last fall. It was a distinct and final refusal on the part of Arizona to be linked with New Mexico. This refusal was made in the face of advice by the president that Ari- zona should accept joint statehood. In few other instances has the president been unable to grasp the sentiment of western communities as to their own affairs.
 The forthcoming session of congress will be very busy. There are many questions of great moment to be considered. It would not be proper to provoke a discussion of statehood in con- nection with New Mexico and Arizona and thus consume valua- ble time. When a territory is ripe for statehood, no more important matter can come before congress than a bill providing for the admission of the new state. But neither Arizona nor New Mexico is fit for statehood. Arizona has admitted the fact, and New.Mexico loes not have to admit it. These territories are better off as they are, and both will benefit if there is d Hull in the statehood agitation. The politicians of both territories may as well turn to other affairs and give legitimate business an opportunity to develop, for congress will be in no mood next winter to
 listen to them"

WITH the surrender of the Schmitz board of police commis- sioners and the surrender of Chief of Police Dinan, San Francisco has advanced another notch toward regeneration, but it still has long way to travel. The police of San Francisco have been under the control of as corrupt an organiza
 ton as ever. existed and the police force has been the chief bulwark behind which violence, lawlessness generally and corruption operated The prosecution of the bribeta kers and grafters at an early stage was greatly handicapped as well as were all other reform measures which were set on foot. In all industrial. disputes which have arisen in San Francisco in recent years the police, instead of pro- tecting the public, made matters worse. When the force has been reorganized and all influences which have tor years controlled it have been removed the work of rebuilding the city morally and physically will be greatly facili- tated.-Phoenix Republican.
