DESERTED AT RIO.

NEW YORK, Feb 24.-'Charged
with having deserted the Atlantic
feet under Admiral Evans at Rio
Janeiro VIM. Dorey, "a years old, ar
rived yesterday from that port on the
Lamport and Hull liner Terence.
Dory was a member OF the u. S.
Marine corps on the battleship Mis-
souri,. At Rio Janeiro he went ashore
in civilian clothes, he failed to return
to the ship, stopping instead at a
sailors mission, until the feet left.
He says he did not intend to desert
but merely wanted to get away from
sergeant who he said was persecut-
ing him. On his application, the
American consul supplied him with
ticket and gave him letter to the
captain of the Terence informing the
skipper that the marine wanted to
give himself up in New York On
his arrival here Dory was turned over
to the Navy yard authorities. He
joined the marine corps in Chicago

LIQUOR PROBLEM.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Feb. rs
A despatch to the Express from Chi
huahua, Mexico, says.
Governor Creel says that as more
pressing matters are disposed of he
may take up the solution of the liquor
problem along the lines of the Goth
enburg system as passed by him when
he was acting governor two years
ago.
In brief, this comprises a private
quasi-philanthropic corporation to
take over one by one, or as rapidly
as possible the saloons OF the state,
close many of them and conduct the
others under strict regulations and on
such plan as will conduce to temp
erance and morality. The profits Of
the company it was then proposed
will be limited to 6 per cent on the
capital invested, all above that being
devoted to public service or some
other cause.

James Day Fight. She was in the thick
OF the fray. seldom having fewer than
two enimies pounding at her throughout
the five hours the fight lasted; but she
was not so badly damaged as many Of
the ships. and a few days later, lying off
Dungeness with Sir Thomas squadron.
she was fortunate enough 10 capture a
French frigate that had ventured too
close. The services of the Warspite, and
particularly OF her captain. Robert Rob
inson. were so distinguished that she was
chosen TO lead the convoy OF the Goth
enburg fleet that winter. and as q result
took part in the only Christmas Day sea
fight IN our annals.
Five years later the Warspite fought
with Sandwich in Sclebay, and was so
hotly engaged that she could not answer
the appeal for help from the Royal James.
The veteran admiral and his flagship
perished. but that Capt Robinson could
not 90 other than he did is shown by the
fact that five hours after the Royal James
was burned the Warspite was stiu fight
ing desperately for her own existence
In the following year. with another cap
tain, the Warspite took part In the three
drawn battles between Prince Rupert
and De Ruyter. while Beachy Head, Bar
fleur, and La Hogue are also among her
records. Her successor, the third OF the
name, was engaged in the war Of the
Spanish Succession. She was launched
on the Thames as the first shots Of the
war We're being exchanged. She passed
out Of service as the terms Of peace were
being discussed. Gibraltar and Malaga
were her two principal engagements, with
the unfortunate incident Of the convoy in
1907. when, with the Swiftsure. she was
forced to fly from squadron Of seven
teen French men-o'-war and half the
merchantmen under her charge fell into

What, then are we TO conclude? That
all IS for the best. and that there is no
marriage crisis? Ny optimism won't go
that length. Alas, no. Not everything is
for the best In the first place not
everything is for the best. since il is the
destiny Of our human race TO evolve
Ceaselessly. despite hesitancy. toward
that better ideal which we call progress.
The essential thing is 10 know In what
direction progress lies. so as to favor
II instead or hindering ill., Now. Is IL
not toward the emancipation Of human
personality that progress is certainly
oriented? II so. l will venture to say
that divorce laws. far from assailing the
institution of marriage, are, on the con-
trary, a necessary eXpedient for assuring
the maintenance Of that institution by
bringing il into harmony with modern
ideas.
Anciently. no doubt with the old Ro-
man NOllGtlLlou OL Nllt uuSDdllu dS lue
owner Of the wife, the problem was much
less intricate. The right OF might i'm
posed upon the woman passive obedience
and resignation as the Indispensable vir-
tues Of her sex. Whether we like il or
not ideas on this point have been con-
slderably modified. and there is no going
back TO the former order OF things
Henceforth the indissolubility of mar
riage must be based upon the voluntary
and conscientious agreement between
husband and wife. l have somewhere
read that when the Code Civil was un-
der discussion. the first consul formulated
on this subject a definition which. for
my part, l find excellent: Marriage is
indissoluble in this sense. that at the mo-
ment when il is contracted each Of the
two parties to the contract must be firm
ly resolved never 20 break H." There,
in a word. is the essential. But that the
indissolubility Of marriage can in no
case receive notifications is contrary to
all the precepts and examples Of all the
ages.
To overcome the marriage crisis, the
thing needed is to reform our morals so
as 10 abolish the rashness and lightness
with which marriages are too often con-
tracted. And the entire essential OF such
reform rests upon this other formula:
Tn marriage. there can be no perfect
union save on the condition OF perfect
community Of ideas and sentiments"
