There is, probably, no sociological Ques-
ton which Is being so widely and ear
nestly discussed by both churchmen and
laymen as the divorce question in the
United States. And there are few ques-
tons more grave or which demand right
settlement than this Prof. Shaler Nat
thews, dean Of the University Of Chicago.
speaking on the subject before 4 Chau-
tauqua assembly the other day, struck
at the root Of the evil when he declared:
I'VE fail to take our family relations
with sufficient seriousness. We &c into
family relations with the same sang
fToid that we 90 upon a picnic"
There is much truth IN this Growing
more materialistic day by day. we IN the
United States are coming less and less to
look upon marriage as a sacrament BY
the majority of people it is regarded
merely as an act Of mutual convenience
sanctioned by law. AS many people, al
most. are married by the legal authorities,
by justices Of the peace and recorders.
as by ministers Of various denominations;
and people rush blindly into marriage,
realizing that II, after experience. they
find they have made q mistake. the way
out IS not difficult II il is difficult II. one
State, It is not 50 In another; and we
constantly have the spectacle Of unhappy

SATURDAY. AUGUST 10. 1907.


The Maryland Democratic platform
rings true on the tariff question, anyway.
The following plank contains good enough
doctrine for everybody:
1--WE feel that it IS incumbent on Us now to de-
clare that 10 taxation can be justified OF excused
which takes from the pockets OF the people more
than is reasonably required % defray the costs Of
ar economical and frugal administration Of the gov
eminent in all its departments, and we therefore
favor such 3 revision Of our existing tariff win
relieve the great masses Of the people from its op
plessiye inequalities, Determinations, and burdens
and put an end 70 the ntolsrabls wrong that ex-
toTts from them an annual excess Of revenue Of
SO GO withdrawn from circulation and piled Up
IL the Treasury as a constant tcmptstion 10 de-
moralizing extravagaucs."
That recognizes the presence Of an enOr-
nous surplus in the United States Treas
ury. in large part collected through
unnecessary tariff taxation, as one OF the
fundamental reasons for a revision OF the
& -if downward and the purgation Of the
y ngley law of its oppressive inequali-
ties, Determinations, and burdens" II
there were no other reason for the revi-
sion of the tariff. a conclusive one could
De found in the piling up of excess reve-
nue. in the Treasury, whence it must be
doled out to bank depositaries at the dis
erection Of the Secretary OF employed as q
pawn in the Wall street game.
It IS strange conception Of public
duty that relegates 10 1893 the imperative
obligation Of reducing a burden Of taxa
ton that weighs upon the people in 1901
Maryland Democrats have wisely opened
fire on that vulnerable position.

AIabama's &c settlement.

The Southern Railway, pursuing the
course Of compromise adopted in the
North Carolina and Virginia rate dis
putes. has agreed 10 put in iorce the
lower passenger and freight rates imposed
by the Alabama legislature, pending the
determination OF the reasOnableness Of
those rates in the due process Of law. On
the part Of the State, II was agreed TO
withdraw the revocation Of the South
ern's license to do business IN Alabama
Gov. Conner, in celebrating his victory,
says it emphasizes the fact that the
State is dominant in the affairs which
concern it most nearly" The fact re-
mains however that. as in Virginia and
North Carolina, the question Of the valid
ity Of the legislation now TO be enforced
is unsettled and it viii be settled eventu-
ally by The Federal courts.
IN al three of the States mentioned, the
most conspicuous element OF the c0ntro-
VERSES between the civil authorities and
the railroads has been the deep resent
ment Of the use of writs of injunction TO
nullify State legislation before il has been
even put into effect, and long in advance
Of a final judicial determination Of the
validity of such legislation. While this
use Of the injunction is amply fortified
by precedent, and is usually acquiesced
in without serious question, there IS some
thing SO exasperating about it, and its
effect is so notifying TO State pride, that
the open opposition Of State executives TO
Il IS not surprising. No matter how care
fully the States action may have been
considered as It was in Virginia, or how
thoughtlessly i may have been taken, as
IN some other States, a Federal injunction
may destroy the fabric of State law in
an instant, with no possibility Of restor-
ing II save after several years Of litiga-
ton. Meantime, the State, as to that
particular matter. is placed. to borrow
Senator Daniels phrase. in a condition OF
syncope. Il would seem as II some better
way OF determining the rights Of the par
ties 70 q dispute involving the validity Of
State legislation might be devised. At
ali events. North Carolina, Virginia, and
Alabama, together with the Southern
Railway. have arrived at a method OF
settling their differences without syncopa-
tion Of either the States or the railroad
company.
The Alabama settlement differs in one re-
spect from those made in the other States
Alabama revoked the license OF the South
ern 10 do business in the State. This
license is now TO be restored in considera-
ton of the railroads obedience to the
rate laws; but il was not because Of the
railroads attitude toward the rate laws
that the license was revoked. That was
done on account Of the removal OF q suit
against the Southern for personal injuries
from State court TO the Federal court
and in pursuance Of the provisions Of the
Alabama statute imposing the penalty OF
revocation Of license on all corporations
removing suits 10 the Federal court. This
precious bit Of legislation viii. Of course
be tested in the courts, where its fate is
not al all uncertain.

/ The Hague conference was originally
called for the purpose Of celebrating upon
measures for the maintenance Of peace,
and for the reduction OF the excessive
/ ornaments which weigh upon all nations
! Thus read the pacific and high-minded
! rescript of the Car which called the
nations together IN conference But it
was found impossible 10 do much toward
the promotion Of the first of these pur-
poses. and nothing at al toward
! bringing about limitation Of ornaments.
The conference OF 1883 simply expressed
| the pious opinion that such limitation is
greatly to be desired in the interests of
the material and moral welfare of
humanity" and hoped that the govern
ments would examine the possibility Of
an agreement as to the limitation Of
armed forces by land and sea, and Of war
budgets"
| In the present conference this vital
question was shunted to the background.
It was not placed on the programme, for
! the reason that it was not thought q prac-
teal question and nothing az all would
have been heard OF it in the conference
but for the insistence Of Great Britain
That power proposed a reafIlrmation Of
! the former declaration, with the addition
! OF a clause affirming that the question OF
( the limitation of ornaments had become
more urgent than ever. Germany, how
ever, would not assent to this, and the
! British delegates agreed TO a modified
proposition which. instead Of urging the
| limitation Of armaments. asserts simply
that limitation IS highly desirable" So
! the measure Of progress since 1888 in re-
/ ducing the heavy burden of militarism by
international conference may be taken by
! calculating the comparative meaning Of
| the phrases greatly TO be desired" and
highly desirable" An extraordinary ad-
vance. surely,
But the powers themselves have not
stood stiu. so far as actual increase in
/ their ornaments is concerned Shipyards,
and gun factories, and powder plants
were never so active. The whole world IS
! in q state OF preparation for war. The

4 Question of Clothes.

Il seems likely that as result Of the
agitation about the uniform Of our sailors
in the navy there viii be some decided
change The opinion Of both officers and
men seems hostile 10 the present uniform,
which perhaps because OF long usage and
custom. still seems rather picturesque 10
the layman. How the blue jacket with
faring wide collar and the under-vest dis
playing the broad chest, the curious hat
perched on the back Of the head, and the
trousers so tight in some places and so
loose IN others came into being no one
seems to know. The present uniform is q
curious evolution, and it has always been
more or less the subject Of comment.
Even in the old days Of the 'Tngoldsby
Legends" the London man, seeing a
/ sailor. remarked:
And then lie hitchej his trousers up. as IS. In
told, their use;
wonder why these sailor-men should wear those
thiugs so loose
And the wonder has not ceased today.
Certainly one could hardly devise COS
tune that would DO more conspicuous
than the present uniform Of our navy's
enlisted men, and there is probably some
| ground for the belief OF naval officers
that the Conspicuous attire" has had a
good deal TO do. with preventing enlist
ment in the navy.
! The present uniform does suggest a
/ comic opera chorus rather forcibly, and It
marks the seaman in q most decided way
when he is ashore on leave and enters a
public place. Il should not be a difficult
/ task TO decide on and adopt some Service
able and less conspicuous gar5 for the
Jack Tar.
One Of the objections Of the sailors
| themselves to the present uniform Is that
II renders them too conspicuous, and that
many proprietors Of restaurants. theaters
and such-like places Of public resort do
not care 10 have uniformed sailors as
patrons. But IS It likely that a change in
the uniform viii do away with this objec-
ton? A uniform of some kind there must
be. It should be worn with pride. There
is nothing about the uniform Of Uncle
/ sam to make its wearer feel ashamed.
It rests with the sailors themselves to
see that wherever they go the uniform Of
the United States navy is respected.
