Do the People Rule +?

For many years the divorce code of
South Dakota has been a blot on that
State, on the nation, on civilization.
Anybody with the price could 90 to the
State, maintain a nominal residence six
months, and secure a divorce without
publicity and without any conditions.
The divorce industry had become rec
bgnized as one of the foremost in GER
tain cities of the State. People came
from all over the world to secure sep
arations under this elastic law, and in
most cases they compounded the scan
ial of it by Immediately contracting
new marriages.
The better moral sense of South Da-
kota has protested, but Legislatures,
session after session, have been ruled
By the special interests which per
seived business advantage for the State
n the easy-divoree statute. The bills
Tor repeal of the law were defeated
somewhere in the dark; they died in
committee on between the two houses
br in conference.
But this year. under the initiative
md referendum provision of the South
Dakota constitution, the question was
put up squarely TO the people of the
State, and they have emphatically de
ided in favor of decency. The vote
Is three to two in favor of repeal of
The old layV and eg4batitr74f,, Of ono
which will put an end to the scandalous
proceedings invited heretofore. The
people voted on it directly. Not nearly
al of them voted, it Is true; but the
great majority of those taking the
trouble to concern themselves about the
question voted for better things.
That IS a good Western parallel to
he Eastern instance afforded in the
The Washington times., 1908-11-11

reelection of Governor Hughes. They
We're going to retire the New York ex-
ecutive because he forced to passage
the race-track bill. But they didn't do
1t. The party leaders lacked the cour-
age to reject him as nominee, because
that would have outraged the moral
sense Of the people; and, once nomi-
mated, the people themselves had the
verdict in their hands, and they rem
dered it in no uncertain fashion.
Whenever a moral question gets be-
fore them in a fashion in which there
are just two sides to it, there is no
doubt about the ability of the people
to rule, and to rule in the right way.
The people do rule, and they are fast
sweeping aside the obstacles to the
manifestation OF their will.

The New Bishop.

Alfred Harding, a neighbor of TWEEN
| ty-one years residence and a church
man OF proven uprightness, has been
elected second Bishop of Washington.
This action, ordered yesterday by the
Protestant Episcopal convention for the
diocese which includes the Nations
Capital, determines for him that the
remainder OF his life and the fulhllment
.of his responsibilities are to be accom-
.Plished among men he has long known
intimately and well and who have come
TO trust him implicitly.
Such an election involves much TO
crafty him upon whom the choice falls
There is a saying that men of a lesser
sort can appear great at a distance, but
that it takes a real man to hold the
trust and affection Of his wOrkmates.
In that light DR.. Harding should find
this an honor in a special sense. No
doubt he so esteems it; and equally
without doubt there were many in the
convention who cast their ballots for
him with purpose particularly so to
honor him.
The circumstance of his elevation
after two other churchmen had declined
the office should not be allowed to di-
minish in any degree the distinction
which has now come to him. Neither
Bishop Brent nor Dr. Alexander Mann
declined the post because it lacked dig
nifty in any respect. Both were with
held from coming by responsibilities
elsewhere, not by disinclination to ac-
cept the Office. And there is extra hon
or to DR.. Harding because he knows the
work to be done, has made progress
against the difficulties of the diocese,
Is consecrated to the building Of the ca
thedral, and has the aTectionate regard
of all those sections Of his associates
into which strong men are certain to di-
vide themselves whether they be in
business life, in politics. or in the
church.
To DR.. Harding, therefore, the good
wishes of the community are offered
freely. To the clergy and laity Of the
diocese are offered its sincere and con
tent congratulations.

MAYOR
SEEKS HIS COUSIN
J. A. Bowles, of Clifton
Forge, Here to Find ]. P.
Hawkins, Missing.

John A. Bowles, mayor Of Clifton
Forge, Va, came to Washington this
morning to see if he could get some
clue to the whereabouts Of his cousin.
James p. Hawkins. who has been mys-
teriOusly missing since November 1.
from his room at 6I7 f street north
west. as told in The Times yesterday.
If Jim had been a drinking man We
could account for his disappearance"
said Mr.. Bowles. but I don't believe
there ever was a man of better habits.
He had always been an enthusiastic
church worker and have learned that
since he came to Washington, about
four months agO, he spent most Of his
leisure time il the reading room Of the
Young Mems Christian Association and
the Public Library.
His father and mother, who live in
Bedford City, Va. are both very old
and feeble, and Mrs. Hawkins is very
much worried because she has not heard
from her son for two weeks. He always
wrote her twice a week, and 1 think
that if she knew he was missing, under
what seems to be unusual circun1-
stances, the news would kill her. We
are doing everything to keep 1t from
her.
MRS. Sexton, in whose house he had
a room, told me this morning that
young man, who was apparently . min
lister, called at the house the Gay before
Hawkins disappeared. and asked If he
was at home. The minister refused to
give his name. The same man called
the day following his disappearance and
seemed to be anxious to know if they
had heard anything FROM Hawkins
Il am making every effort TO fiUd out
who this man is, as I think he may be
able to give us a clue"

The tennessee Tragedy.

It is not easy to discuss calmly and
sanely the recent assassination, in Ten
nessee, of one of the most brilliant men
in America. The natural horror which
cold-bloodcd murder inspires makes it
better not to indulge comment too
early. There might be charge of ex-
tremism.
Here was a man of whom everybody
agreed that he was without superior in
mental brilliancy, and had few peers
in those sturdy, basic elements, com
mon honesty, courage, and steadfast-
ness of purpose. Edward Ward Car
mack was man in millions. He had
had a unique career. He had been
tried. He knew all sides of affairs, and
he had lined up on the better side. He
was a patriot in the best sense; an al
TRUST; man who loved his fellow
men; a man who cared little for the
qualification of ambition or the Cutting
OF his pocketbook. He was utterly I'M
known 10 that rather cheap emotion
physical fear and he was magnificently
endowed with that most rare and esti
mable OF yiTtues-mOral courage. What
C8rmack conceived to be right. he was
1or- He made no compromises, he never
asked whether victory or defeat lay
ahead. rs it right!" That was all he
wanted to know. He was able enough
to have compromised a hundred times
20 his own advantage; he was the pos
SCISSOR of tastes which might have made
him wish for money. Yet he ended a
brilliant career, as poor as he was un-
sullied Of repute.
There will be moral lectures now
about various aspects OF this Tennessee
tragedy. There viii be people to be-
moan the misconception of gentleman"
which makes it the possible synonym
for murderer in many parts Of this
land. There viii be suggestions that
the country which permits lynching as
the pastime of the mob. need not pro-
test if assassination becomes the avo-
cation OF gentlemen.
But the fact of it all is that Ameri-
cans are too reckless of life and law. It
is lawiessness that infects rs. The
captain OF industry hires a great law
yer TO tell him how to defeat the law
The crook goes into partnership with
the official The great interest seeks to
corrupt legislation. 1t all comes back
to the same place. There is too little
respect for the law; and when the fear.
1ul fruits of this rec5Iessness come to
Us despatched with the blood of genius
and greatness, we are hardly able to
recognize what was the elemental
wrong.
The murderers should be punished.
The crime which deprived the commu-
lity of the genius and capacity OF such
a man should be avenged. But above
genius and distinction and personal en-
inence, human life is entitled to respect.
And still beyond that, the law. made to
protect and guarantee all men. should
be supreme.
To teach this people what it means,
how necessary it is, to ODE and respect
the law-that is the great duty of the
leaders of the American nation TODAY. /
Until respect for the law in all its
bearings is inculcated, tragedies of this /
kind cannot be stopped.
