Pretexts for Divorce.

The St. Louis judge who has just
expressed judicial degree of impa-
thence with the silly pretexts for d.
vorce which are often brought before
him, expresses one of the most pro
found facts of the grevious situation
which is called by courtesy the "di-
vorce problem" That there is such a
thing as a divorce problem in the
world is not to be denied, but it is not
raised in one case out of twenty
which are brougt into the courts fol-
settlement. The statutes Of nearly
all of the states leave judges with
little or no discretion. The word
''incompatibility" is very broad and
inconclusive, one, and can be made
to cover, or at least is made to cover,
multitude of acts, either mutual OF
on the part of one member of an un-
happy pair toward the other, indicat-
ing perversity, obstinacy, selhshness
or other things which may be ag-
gravating, but which raise no prob
lens for judicial settlement.
The Biblical ground of divorce,
cruelty and improvidente are the only
ones which the courts should be call
ed to consider 1t may be safely as
sumed that a husband who drags his
wife into court on trivialties which
real woman, lacks those elements
real woman, lacks hose elements
of manhood which would make living
with him desirable or even tolerable.
This is equally true OF woman in
the sense that a woman capable OF
such an act has lost that feeling of
regard a wife should hold toward the
partner of her joys and sorrows. But
divorce is another question. Let those
who cannot live together live apart,
but let them feel that the marriage
tie is something more binding than
shoestring-St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat.

The Annihilation of Distance.

How much nearer to each Other
the nations of the world are today
than they were few decades ago!
When weeks and months were re-
quired to get news from across the
ocean the old world seemed to be a
long way off. Now the whole earth
is. belted with telegraph and cable
lines, and yesterdays happenings in
Europe, Asia, Africa, South America.
Australia and the islands of the sea
are read ct this mornings breakfast
table. Distance is annihilated and
the nations are becoming friendly
neighbors in consequence. The mar
velous change is brought home to the
mind most strikingly upon reading u
great modern newspaper whose tele-
graphic news covers the whole world
each day-a paper such as The Chi
cago Record Herald, which has YER
table army of correspondents in ev-
cry important city. In addition TO Its
own staff of correspondents The
Record-Herald has the benefit of the
foreign news service of the New York
Herald, famous for its world wide
cable system and for the reliability
of its foreign news; also that of the
New York World and the New York
Journal of Commerce, besides that
great coop -rative gathering or
ganization, the Associated Press.

Imprisonment for Life.

1t may be of interest to petty
thieves as well as to those from whom
they steal to know that the habitual
criminal act, if enforced, will make
''lifers" out of lot of fellows who
have been often convicted of peti,
larceny and who have just stolen and
stolen until they have become looked
upon as common thieves, with whom
pilfering was disease. Under the
new law society will be relieved OF
these fellows if the prosecuting attor-
neys over the state do their duty. The
new law is stringent one and pro-
vides for every emergency
1t provides that every person who
after having been twice convicted,
sentenced and imprisoned in some
penal institution for felony, commit
ted anywhere in the United States,
shall be third time convicted in this
state for a felony hereafter COM
mitted shall be deemed and taken
to be an habitual criminal, and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment in the state
prison for life" This act applies to
men and women alike. The fact of
the accused having been twice con-
victed is to be alleged in the indict-
ment, proved at the trial and found
by the jury before life sentence is
imposed.

Children and the Law

The laws relating to charities and
children have placed Indiana on ad-
vanced ground. Gradually this state
has come TO recognize that the child
is of as much Importance at least as
its property. 1t has assumed to say
that every neglected child or child OF
an unfit home shall be protected The
State now declares that when child
rem commit offenses they shall not
be tried in the Criminal or Police
Courts, but by a special court, where
the process is more in the nature OF
a probate proceeding. Inquiry IS
made into causes. The surroundings
of the child are inquired into, and il
these can not be improved the theory
is that the child must be removed
from them. The purpose is to re-
claim rather than to punish or even
to reform. The new laws also define
a dependent and neglected child and
authorize the punishment of any adult
who wilfully contributes to such de-
pendence or neglect. They wisely
abolish methods heretofore followed
for making children dependent. 1t
has been too easy 10 make of child
a public ward. Tozi often adults and
parents were willing to give up their
natural responsibilities and the State
has been supporting proportionately
more children than other States.
Perhaps it is not realized yet that
the new laws provide for Juvenile
Court in every county. 1t is only
necessary in doing this to provide ju-
venile records for the clerk, TO ap-
point a probation officer and to ar
range for hearings of the cases in the
manner directed by the Juvenile
Court law. Children hereafter are 10
be tried in these courts, and no child
can be made O public dependent ex-
cept after court inquiry and judgment
Each county is required to support
children now properly chargeable to
it, but hereafter it can only pay for
those made public wards by order Of
the Judge of the Juvenile Court This
ought to insure careful investigation
of each case.-Indianapolis News.

One Governors Opinion.

In the biennial message which
Governor Broward sent to the Florida
legislature on its converting he refers
to the race problem as follows:
1t is apparent even to the casual
observer that the relation between
the two races is becoming more
strained and acute. The negroes to-
day have less friendship for the white
people than they have ever had since
the civil war. and the white people
have less tolerance and sympathy for
the negro. 1t is my opinion that the
two races will not for any great
length of time occupy the same terri
tory without friction and outbreaks of
disorder between the two.
81 doubt if education can possibly
tend to the happiness of any race so
long as it only aids in a keener dis
cernment of the hopeless difference
between the past and future history
OF that race and that of dominant
race in the same country and in the
same neighborhood
Il deem it best. and therefore
recommend a resolution memorable
ing the Congress of the United States
to purchase territory either domestic
or foreign and provide means to pur-
chase the property of the negroes, at
reasonable prices. and to transpor,
the negroes to the territory purchased
by the United States, the United
States to organize a government for
them of the negro race, to protect
them from foreign invasion, and to
prevent negroes from migrating back
to the United States.
81 believe this to be the only hope
of solution of the race problem
between the white and black races"

Will the Car Abdicate?

Whether it be true or not that the
Russian emperor designs to abdicate
it will be hard for ordinary people TO
understand why he should not do SO.
Why any man should subject himself
to the haunting horrors which Mich
olas must endure passes comprehen-
sion.
The poorest of his subjects is bet
ter off than the car, because the mou
jik even though he may be hungry
and cold, knows that nobody seeks
his life, knows that he can go to bed
at night without fear of being stabbed
or shot or dynamited while he sleeps.
The car of all the Russias is contin
ually beneath the Damoclean sword.
1t is impossible that he should have
any pleasure or comfort in life. Why
should not he abdicate?
1t is said by those close to him
that Nicholas possesses strong
sense of duty; that he deems it incum-
bent upon him to maintain the au-
tocracy even at the peril of his life. 1t
is also asserted that he has been SO
long under the black shadow of as
sassination that his sensibilities have
been blunted as men who work in
powder houses become insensible to
their danger.
Certainly considerations quite as
powerful as these must influence him
to retain a throne which is constant
" menaced by the forces Of anarchy,
murder and revolution. We can not
conceive of his daring those forces
out of mere bravado land it is equal
ly inconceivable that he should be &C
tuated by the love of dominion, be-
cause he must long ago have wear
led of ruling 1000. 900 people, all
of whom hate him and most of whom
wish him dead.
The reports which credit him with
an intention to abdicate hint at his
mental alteration We are inclined to
thing that the proposed action is
rather an Indication of sanity and
common sense If he abdicates he
leaves behind him the ever increas-
ing burden of terror and anxiety not
only for himself but for his wife and
children.
He can make for himself home IN
either hemisphere and live his life
out in peace and quiet, undisturbed
by the plots and counterplots of ter
rorists and revolutioraries. The mo-
,nent he quits, the throne he Is safe,
because it is to no ones interest TO
kill him.
If Nicholas fulhlls the predictions
and lays down his scepter he will
prove himself neither rcreant nor
coward, but wise man who pre-
fers traquility and comfort for him.

SEES NO HARD TIMES" SIGN.
Master of Steel Industry Believes
Country is Not on Verge of
Panic.

Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the
board of the United States Steel COR
poration and master of the industry
which is the most accurate barometer
of the country's prosperity, gave an
interview full of optimism.
What is your opinion of business
conditions and the prospect? was ask
ed.
Judge Cary's answer follows:
From the standpoint of the iron
and steel industry business conditions
are good. For the month of March
orders received by our companies
were about 5000 tons day in excess
of March, 1904, Notwithstanding we
have on our books untitled orders
which will fully employ on the aver
age our full capacity for about nine
months.
"As to the future one can guess
as we'll as another. Probably it de-
ponds largely upon conditions which
arise-crops, politics, finances, but
more than anything else, sentiment.
This may result from existing condi-
tons as they are seen or it may be
manufactured.
eff capital becomes frightened by
prospects of disaster or gloomy fore
bodings on the part OF hnanclers It
may become scarce temporarily at
least and this would affect business
adversely and bring about business
stagnation.

hind in the procession which can not
be stopped, for the growth of this
country is too rapid.
"The optimist of this country, if he
will deal with its limits will reach
the greatest success. OF course we
should proceed with caution. The
prudent man always does this. There
are always danger signals, and if peo-
pie around us are crying danger we
should look out for it. But in such
cases the wise man will keep his head
and his courag. He will try to i'm
prove his condition and his conduct.
He will recognize the rights and
interests of all others. He will en-
deavor to keep within the limits ct
his resources. But he will not lose
faith in his country or his country
men.

Their substance was that they can
best serve their race in the South by
giving such attention to the moral,

the colored population here that the

Terrorism is not state peculiar to
the realm of the car. Two or thre.
unknown men are creating a condi-
ton of panic along hundreds of miles
of railroad track in the United States,
and no way has been discovered to
prevent their wrecking fast trains
Fortunately there has been no great
loss of life yet. but it is impossible
to tell when there will be a disaster
as great as has ever happened III
America.
In one respect the situation is pc
culiar. No one knows wheher the
wrecks are caused by robbers or by
discharged employees or by otner per
sons with real or fancied grievances.
If the latter is the case no one knows
what is the nature of the grievance.
The wrecks cannot be the work of a
mailman, since the handling of the
rails shows expert knowledge, and
also indicates the aid of accompliccs.
While the territory covered by the
wreckers is large one the similarity
of the work shows that the same
party is responsible for all the diff
ferent criminal attempts. If there
have been any threats of damage to
be done unless stated conditions were
complied with, the fact has not been
made public, but there is nothing to
raise the presumption that the Penn
sylvania railroad knows anything
more of the cause of these attempts
than the general public does.

Queer Court News.

In Justice fingers court on Mon
day was heard the case of the State
of Indiana VS. Jacob, commonly
known as William Hooten who had
been hailed into court at the inst1ga-
ton of Paul Snyder of West township
on a charge of surety of the peace.
Mr.. Hooten had made preparations
for vigorous defense, denying most
strenuously any purpose of either VIC.
lating the peace of the State generally
or against the aforesaid Paul Snyder
in particular, and had employed At
torney Lauer to present his side of
the case.
About five witnesses. on each side
had been subpoened, and the case
was ready for trial when the Prose
cutting attorney at the request of Mr.
Snyder dismissed the case.
But here was the rub. A surety
of the Peace case while brought in
the name of the State % INDIANA. IS
one of the very few cases in which
the prosecuting witness, if he fails In
his case, or dismisses the same is
liable for costs, and when the justice
had taxed up the witness fees, and in
cluded all other costs, Mr.. Snyder
was asked to settle for the modest
little sum of $50 but the Prosecuting
Attorney very graciously agreed that
his fees might be cancelled as the
State had done Mr. Snyder no servic
for which he ought to pay.
Hooten of course was glad, but
really wanted to go on with the trial
for he claimed he had abundant wit
nesses to show that instead of said
Snyder being afraid of him, the po-
sitions were SO far as he was con
cerned reversed land he really was
afraid of Snyder.
