MAY ASK $58, 600, 900 BOND.

Counsel for the Standard Oil Com
psny yesterday took time by the fore
lock and took the attorneys for the gov
erument by surprise by applying for a
writ of error aud a writ of supersedeas
before Judge Grosscup, in the United
States Circuit Court Of Appeals, as first
steps toward contesting the assessment
of the fine of $29, 24O, 600 imposed by
Judge Lands last Saturday. Assistant
District Attorney Harry Parkin was
alert, however, and asked thats day be
given him to communicate with Di strict
Attorney Sims, who, it is expected, will
cut short his vacation in Michigan and
return to Chicago at once.
1t is probable that when the plea OF
the Standard Oil Compauy's attorneys is
renewed this morning District At
torney Sims will demand that the corpo-
ration put up the largest bond ever ask
ed for in history, and 1t is expected the
amount sought will be $5s, 800, 600,
about double the fine. Attorneys for
the corporation, however, are prepared
to contest the governments plea for a
heavy bond.
Although the Standard Oil attorneys
assert their appeal will be based on 192
reversible errors, they have not as yet
pointed out to the District Attorneys
office copy of their bill Of exceptions.
II is expected the rulings OF Judge
Landis upon the admission of certain
evidence is to be attacked by the de-
fense, and 1t also is intimated that th'
court's action in summoning John d.
Rockefeller and other officers OF thu
standard Oil Company of New jersey
before him may be made the basis Tor
plea of errors.

CHASED OUT OF TOWN.

Ill feeling toward negroes which has
been brewing since last Friday night,
when John 7. Maddux, an aged white
man, was assaulted BY neg'o, cuimi-
mated in race riot at Hillsboro ILL.,, last
Wednesday night and the maiOrity OF ne
groes were chased out of town. Negroes
and white citizens fought in the streets
for hours. Finally most Of the negroes
fed and order was restored. G. d. Fry,
who has a contract for paving work and
employs negroes, insisted that his en-
ployes he protected, but to no effect.
Yesterday Fry went to St. Louis, de-
claring he would procure other negro
lsborers. 1t is feared if he brings back
a Dumber of negro laborers that blood
shed will result, as anti-negro feeling il
at high tension.

A NOTABLE ADDRESS.

II may seem to some little out OF
the usual order that mau Of mature
years, who has never married, should
undertake to discuss before the Vir-
ginia Bar Association the subject of
divorce, its causes and remedy. "The
duty of the State to Diminish Divorce"
was the announced theme of the sd-
dress of State Senator l.. II. Machen,
of Alexandria, at the recent session of
the State Bar Association at the
jamestown Exposition grounds. He
handled the subject with mastery abil-
ity, showing thorough appreciation
of the many evils growing out of the
increasing number of divorces, and
the increasing facility with which they
are secured. They constitute q serious
menace to our social order in the dis
ruption OF the home, the foundation Of
society. Statistics show that divorces
in the United States for the last twenty
years have exceeded $4,000 annually,
or more than half q million In
twenty wears. 10 no other country on
earth is snch a debasing record shown.
1t would Indicate that the American
people are rapidly becoming disciples
of the doctrine of free love. Nor are
divorces confined TO any one class of So
ciety. They are common to all classes.
but 10 The circles of the rich and So
called high society people thereis more
frequent mention of them and they at
tract more attention. In the lower So
cial ranks there are doubtless many sep
aratious of married couples without the
formalily of divorce. The rapid growth
of this national evil Mr.. Maehen ascribes
to the case with which marriages sie
consummaled and divorces granted, by
reason of lack of uniformity in the laws
of the several States, and he might have
added az reason for the lack of uni
formity the multiplicity in some States
of the trivial causes for which divorces
may be granted.
Because of the immature age at
which many young people contract
marriage, there is a lack OF mature
judgment and appreciation of the great
responsibility assumed in such a con-
tract. Mr.. Machen would very wisely
strike at the root of the divorce evil,
by making it more difficult to enter
into and to break the bonds of we'd
lock. To this end it is essential that
there should be uniformity of legislation
among the several States, discouraging
or making impossible the contracting Of
hssty marriages. Mr.. Machen would
prohibit the marriage of persons under
twenty-one years of sge; would require
ten days newspaper publication OF no.
tice of an application for marriage IL
cense, and require medical examinations
of both parties, as prerequisite to OBJ
tanning a license. He would also pro-
hibit the remarriage of divorced per-
son for at least three years after issue of
the decree of divorce. Unless the di-
vorce is upon scriptural ground, per-
petual prohibition against the guilty
party would be better. Under present
practices, marrisge is simply matter OF
copartnership to be dissolved at pleasure
by either or both parties, and not sac
rament. Surely, for the sake of our
American manhood and womanhood, the
States should make earnest efforts to-
ward uniform legislation upon matter
50 vital to our well-being.- Roanoke
