THE DIVORCE EVIL
Is Dishonor to This Nation, Says
Father CIeary,

Last Sunday night at st. Charles
church, Father James NJ Clearv deliv-
cred an interesting discourse before
large audience on Marriage. the Most
Sacred Social Problem" in which he
denounced the evil Of divorce in scath-
ing language. He said in part:
THE divorce evil is our national
shame. our national disgrace. our ma
tional dishonor and the greatest men
ace to our national welfare. America
today is foremost among the countries
Of the world in the number of its di-
vorces,- recent statistics showing that
there is one divorce to every IL mar
riages. 1t is breaking UP our homes,
eating into the vitals Of our society,
and despite our material greatness and
our unprecedented prosperity is liable
to be the death knell Of the country
unless it's vicious progress is curbed.
THE life of a nation does not de-
pend upon the greatness Of it's COM
merce or upon the magniflcence of its
streets or public buildings. It depends
upon its people. and society cannot
long be sustained If the sacredness
Of the home is not guarded. Divorce
is the greatest enemy Of the home
which can now be broken up for the
most trivial excuse that vicious men
and women can think of. Unless mar
ried couples are controlled more by
sense Of duty and less by the wninls
and dictates Of passion. and view with
more concern the responsibilities which
matrimony imposes upon them. the
fabric of our national existence is very
much threatened .
Father Cleary stated that in many
cases the hardships which persons give
for seeking divorce are altogether i'm
aginary, as they often find that a Sec
ond marriage does not improve things
for them, it being but case Of pass
ing from the frying pan into the fire.
Quoting Cardinal Gibbons, he stated
that as remedy against divorce "le-
spectacle persons should ostracise
those who make mockery Of the mar
riage ceremony"
Father Cleary concluded his sermon
by vigorous appeal to all who be-
licved in God and who had the well
fare Of society and their country at
heart to oppose the indiscriminate get
ting Of divorces "by supholding the law
of God, which says that what God
hath joined together let no man put
asunder."
The address was powerful arraign-
ment Of the divorce evil as we'll as an
able plea for honorable men and
chaste women" to stand up for the
secredness and indissolubility Of the
marriage bond. He reviewed the con-
ditions Of society in the early ages and
the part played by the Church on be-
half Of the sacred tie Of matrinony and
left deep impression on the minds Of
those who heard him.

A REWARD For ElpELlrY.

Ihe many friends in the Northwest
Of Mr.. NJ. ]. Costello of st. Paul, will
be pleased to learn that he has re-
ceived an appointment from President
Roosevelt in the department of Labor
and Commerce at Washington. 1t goes
without saying that Mr.. Costello is
eminently qualified to fill any position
i'll the gift of the head of the nation.
He is man of legal training and a
newspaper writer Of superior ability.
For many years he was engaged in st.
Paul as the editor Of the Dispatch an,
subsequently as an editorial writer on
the Globe; but as his ideas conflict ed
with those of James j. Hill, the pro-
prietor. he ceased his connection with
the Globe and opened up law office.
When Robert A. Smith was elected
for fourth term as Mayor Of st. Paul,
he looked about for private secretary
IN whom he could repose every conf
dence and offered the position to MIR.
Costello, notwithstanding the fact that
he was Republican. Mr. Costello
readily accepted, and remained with
the veteran Democrat till he retired,
after the expiration of his fifth :erln.
Since then he has been constant con-
t:ibutor to the columns of Labor or
gans in the capicity of an editorial
writer.
During the recent presidential cam
1aign at the request of Mr.. Taft. he
served OH the Republican national
committee in New York and attracted
such attention by the superior quality
of his work from the Republican man
ayers that they thought he deserved
a permanent position under the Roose-
welt administration.
President Roosevelt had known Mr..
Costello for many years and kept in
touch with him on national affairs.
They had both served together in the
New York legislature when young
men. and a friendship sprans Up be-
tween them that has lasted through
all the years. At the special invitation
of the President, Mr.. Costello attended
his Inauguration and was his guest on
several occasions at the White House.
AT the Presidents suggestion, he mas
tered the Spanish language for an ap-
pointment as consul in one of the
South American republics. but as no
vacancy occurred. he is now given a
position at home
Mr.. Costello is a. native Of Tuam,
County Galway. Ireland, the town
made famous by the fact that it is the
a,chiepiscopal see Of the great rrelate,
John McHale. "the Lion of the Fold Of
JUDAH as he was designated by
OConnell. When a boy. he emigrated
to the United States and settled in
New York. where he studied stenos-
raphy. He naturally drifted into jour-
naltsn In the American metropolis and
subsequently into law and politics.
Being Republican, he saw no oppor-
tunities for advancement in New York
and taking Greeley's advice he came
West. Mr.. Costello is not only writer
of recognized ability, but f1vst-clas
speaker, who is informed on all the
topics of the day. and we predict for
him social and official success at the
national capital.

kellogg Is undoubtedly clever law
yer. but why an attorney for one big
trust should be chosen to prosecute
another big trust is a sort of conun-

the explanation lies in the fact that

can national committee, and that
Roosevelt wished to give him fat job

may be. At any rate, Kellogg appears
to have a job that will last him for
many years if the case is noe stricken
from the court calendar.
The people have read the testimony
OF j. D. Rockefeller and his colleagues
and have formed their own eonclu-
si"ns. The calling Of the president
and vice president of the Standard OIL
is practically the final move of that
corporation in its defense to the gov.
ernment attack. A few more witnesses
will appear on behalf of the defendant
and their counsel will get to work to
prepare the case for submission to the
full bench of the Circuit Court Judges,
before which arguments will be neard
on objections to disputed testimony at
the April term.
1t may take year for the court to
examine the volunnnous evidence and
render decision, and no matter what
It's decision may be the case will be
appealed to the United States Supreme
Court. Anotherityaar may elapse be.
fore the highsstscourt renders a final
decision.
In view OF these facts, it will be
readily seen that it is no easy mat
ter for even the: government itself to
convict any gigantic corporation of
wrong doing. If any individuals in
ordinary walks of life committed an
offense against the laws of the United
States they could be easily prosecuted
and punished, if found guilty. With a
corporation 1t is different, and the
Standard Oil suit is conspicuous ex-
ample of the laws delays. Some of the
persons prominent in this case may be
dead before it is finally disposed OF
If Roosevelt had ordered Rockefeller
to be prosecuted as a criminal for ls-
noring the laws and trampling on them
with contempt. the case would be over
long ago, and the millionaire would be
in the penitentiary doing penance, if
not in sackcloth and ashes, in the
striped garb of a prisoner. But John
II. Rockefeller had generously contrib
uted to Roosevelts campaign in 1904,
and 1t would be rank ingratitude to
punish him in the ordinary way.
