west HAVEN IS APATHETIC
OFFICERS NOT BLIND
The Savin Rock Raid is a
Reflection of Public
Opinion.
70 the Editor of Journal and Courier:

70 the Editor of Journal and Courier:
In the issue of your paper for July 80
appeared an article by a West Haven
e. on the recent raid of hotels at Saw
ing Rock. He writes in an amusing
vein in some particulars and seems
doubtful about the raid doing any good
claiming that it is an annual affair.
But it is in his reference to both the
officers Of the state and of the borough
that one finds reason for penning re-
ply.
This West Havener intimated that
the state police is concerned solely in
gathering in enough to maintain them
selves in their jobs and to satisfy their
legislative employers. The local police
here are described as "blind" and are
under instructions not to see'' things
going on. Now, it is open to question
whether they have any Instructions Of
the sort. In fact they know nothing
of it. The officers of West Haven are
as conscientious about doing their duty
as are officers elsewhere.
These officers, with the state police
and the prosecuting agent are regular
ly constituted guardians of public NOR
ais and are endeavoring to do their
duty in as far as public opinion will
support them If all citizens were to
show such lack of confidence as the
writer of that milk article these Of
ficers would not DO as well as they
do At the time Of the recent raid
there was only one citizen to appear
at the trial, an indication of the
apathy that prevails in West Haven.
This is enough to dishearten any Of
ficer who is trying to enforce the law
If there was an aroused public opln-
Ion back of Judge, prosecuting agent,
and state and local officers, the laws
would be enforced.
Furthermore, rigid Sunday law Is in
itself something of a temptation to
break it, Men who become thirsty
during the days Of the week become
thirsty on Sunday as we'll Deprived
Of an opportunity for liquid refresh
ment they feel that the principle Of
personal liberty is infringed. This
feeling, is one of the ingredients form
ing what is called public opinion and
must be taken into account, The raid
is a reflection Of the West Haven state
of mind.
If the writer Of the letter of last
Tuesdays issue of the Journal and
Courier wishes to know the real in
wardness of the situation at the Rock
In respect to the enforcement Of the
law let him, if possible, become an Of
ficer for time in order to see what
he is against. SPECTATOR,

INCREASE IN DIVORCES.
German Protestant Districts Show the
Greatest Number.

CTedLcSU NtHtiUCFt
Berlin, July 31.-The number of di-
vorces In Prussia has increased rapid
ly of late years and Is still augment
ing, according to the latest returns of
the registrars department, which are
complete to the end of last year
In 1901 there were only 4,675 d.
vorces, whereas the last annual total
was $3.50. These were very unevenly
distributed, the more densely populat-
ed districts showing a far greater pro-
portion Of dissolved marriages than
the more sparsely inhabited sections
Again, the religious belief of the peo-
pie seems also to have had eonsidera-
BILE effect on their views as to the. dis
ruption of the marriage tie, Protes-
tants, according to the returns, dis
playing greater readiness to seek d.
vorce than Catholics,
Taking the country as whole, one
divorce is granted to every 1000 mar
riages. Berliners, however, who are
overwhelmingly Protestant, obtain one
decree for every 800 marriages.; the
Protestant provinces of Schleswig- H OIL
stein and Brandenburg, one in $780,
Saxony, Pomerania and East Prussia
one In 1000; Hesse-Nassau, one In
1,100 and Hanover, one in 1,400. On
the other hand, the Catholic provinces
of West Prussia, Schleswig and
Rhineland, show only one divorce for
every 1880 Inhabitants; West Phalia
one in 1000, and Posen and Hohen.
Zollern, only one in 5000.
