UNWORTHY OF A GOOD CAUSE.

Two druggists of the village of Bountiful were
arrested last week and fined for selling liquor with
| out prescription from physician. Plainly they
had violated the aw-that is, if the newspaper ac-
count is accurate. The story given in the special
to the Telegram told how the straight-laced claw
and order" officers fixed up trap to catch the
druggists in illegal dispensing of liquor In both
cases they got young man who had been regularly
visiting the stores with prescriptions for medicines
intended and used by certain sick persons to rush
into the stores without hat or coat indicating the
greatest possible haste and request liquor In both
cases the druggist knew the young men and knew
they had frequently got medicines for the sick ones
and they gave the liquor to them with no more than
protest that they should have prescriptions. The
druggists we're Immediately arrested and were pun
ished by fines of $40 and $50, respectively
There are times when it seems strict compl
ance with law might mean the death of someone.
If the story told by the young to the drug
gists had been true, if the liquor had been actually
needed to alleviate suffering possibly save the
lives of the sick for whom it was purported to
be, and the druggists had refused to furnish the
liquor, the whole community would have been very
severe in their condemnation of them. The cause
of law and order is not furthered and the cause of
temperance receives only setback, by such tao
tics. Trucking man into violation of law under
the pretense that he is by doing rendering serv-
ice to suffering humanity is unworthy of any just

reviewed the troubles between America and Japan,
and suggested that these troubles were by no means
settled In order to bring the Democratic mem
bers to his way of thinking, the president showed
the position of President Grover Cleveland with re-
spect to an adequate naval establishment. All of
which indicates rather indefnably that with
Japan is not amt,lg the impossbilities as viewed
in Washington.
Diplomacy smoothed the troubles arising from
til, San Francisco incident-but then had no
batteship feet i'll the Pacific. Should the old trou-
bles be renewed (and who will say they may not
be ~ the nice diplomacy could be supplement
ed by strong def which the japanese, always
with a chip on their shoulders, would be quick to
sent. 1t is yet about four months before the ma
tional conventions of the great American parties
meet to place in nomination candidates for the
presidency. -Four months in world-politics may
bring startling changes Should the old troubles
with the japanese be renewed what more natural
thing could happen than the denomination of the
president, and what argument would prevail against
that which questions the advsability of swapping
horses midstream!
Circumstances with which students of politics
are familiar indicate that President Roosevelt is
not candidate for reelection He has not been
since the last election But no one denies that he
has been active in support of Secretary of War
Taft. Should events move during the next two
three months as indications point they may, when
the Republican convention assemblies in Chicago,
we would not be surprised should Secretary Taft
mount the rostrum and, in speech sparkling with
patriotism, announce his withdrawal from the race
in favor of the president. and that Theodore Roose
welt should once more go before the people as the
candidate of the Republican party Though not
candidate now, he may be candidate in June.

DRIFT OF THE EPISCOPAL C HURCH.

The New York World last week wired to many
Bishops and prominent cergymen for an express
sion of opinion touching the feasibility of a re-
union between the Roman Catholic and the Prot
estant Episcopal Churches. We are not to sup
pose that the idea of a corporate reunion of the
two churches is new one, dream of some en-
thusiast early in the morning of the Twentieth
century. Twice before at least has the matter
been seriously considered once with considerable
probability of success.
The first was in the reign of Charles l. An ac-
count of it was given by Cerr, who was commits
stoned by Pope Innocent XI. to report to him CD
the religious state of England. This report was
apparently and unoficially first published in French
in the year 1901, and in 1715 translated and pub
lished in English by Sir Richard Steele. This
transat is extremely scarce and very little
known. The effort of Monsignor Cerri for recon
clation must have been considered important at
papers The great difficulty which lay in the path
of reconciliation was in the Oath of Supremacy.
which seemed to render impossible the acceptance
of the Primary and Supremacy of the Pope by
English ecclesiastic and civil officers
In fact, the obstacle to reunion was political
and not religious. The next attempt at reunion

in the Eighteenth century and recorded by Mos
helm in his History Then, in 1719 when the
Relief Bill was passed, there those who thought

Events in the political arena move smoothly on
the surface, though beneath the surface there NAV
be a swiftly moving current which will change the
destiny of some half-dozen presidential aspirants
and make history in the next few months which
will materially affect the destira. of the republic
About the time the battleship fleet rounded the
Horn and began its northward journey in Pacific
waters, in Washington the president was holding
conference with the Democratic members of the
House naval committee in endeavor to impress
them with the need of an enlarged navy The prop
osition of the president put upon the broader
basis of patriotism rather than politics He told
the Democratic members that the withdrawal year
ago of Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to the
United States, was for other purpose than for
extended consultation on conditions in America.

DON'T GET CAUGHT.

A story was sent out from Burlington n. j..
last week about case of polygamy which had been
discovered in that state and which could not be
punished because of some defect in the laws of New
Jersey The weakness in the law aroused the moral
reformers of that commonwealth to high pitch,
and further investigation disclosed that the man
with two wives pleaded the statute of limitations
a bar to prosecution, and was upheld by the magis-
trate before whom the case was presented. There
no doubt that the man had married two wives,
but two years had elapsed since the commission of
the offense, and this placed it under New Jerseys
statute of limitations. As result, the accused
bgamist discharged
New Jersey alone must answer for New jersey
laws. But it is to be presumed that state which
cheerfully issues charters to trusts to operate
i'll other states in defiance of the laws of those
states will be bothered greatly if its statutes
Furnishing crime are to be imperative after lapse
of the two years provided by the statute of lmi-
tations. The statute of limitations is supposed to
be law of repose and an honorable defense but
its employment as a bar to the prosecution of high
crimes and misdemeanors is new and very chart
table Interpretation of the law, which has not to
our knowledge, been hitherto upheld. There have
been some very notable pleadings of this saving law
and it has got some very highly respected citizens
out of very tight places, but this employment of
the law is just little more direct method of escap-
ing just punishment for offenses against the penal
code than any we have seen.
The decision in the New jersey case empha-
sizes the need of universal marriage and divorce
laws These laws exist in perfection in the Cath
Ollie church. Their adoption by the several states,
or by the nation, would eliminate to large degree
the unwise application of laws which have no bear
ing upon the questions of the sacredness of the
marriage vows the holiness of the bonds which
make husband and wife, preserve the sanctity of the
home and guarantee the perpetuity of the nation.
The statute of limitations in regard to marriage,
as laid down by God himself, is till death parts the
principals of the marriage. There are so many IN
stances in the Bible where the law as to marriage
is emphatically stated that they are familiar to
nearly all. For this cause shall a man leave ia
Their and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife"
Matt. XIX.) These are the words of the Savior,
and it will be noted that He said ''his wife" not
"his wives" Bigamy may not be punishable in
New Jersey after two years, but the punishment of
an All-Wise God cannot be averted by pleading
statute which never intended to deal with the
laws of marriage-not even the laws framed by
man for his own convenience.

| they saw an opening for renewing negotiations fOI
reunion. Bishop Darlington, in a pastoral letter
| addressed to his clergy, thus expressed himself
There appears to me to be, in the present circum-
stances of Europe better grounds of hope for q
successful issue to dispassionate investigation of
the differences which separate the two churches of
! England and Rome With this view and these
hopes | continue to exert my humble efforts in this
great cause of charity and truth; and what public
duty of greater magnitude present itself to us
than the restoration of peace and union to the
church. by the reconciliation of the Churches of
England and Romel" The friendly words of the
Bishop of Durham we're reciprocated by more than
one of the Catholic Bishops of the time.
Not until 1884 was this hope of reconciliation
revived, when the Tractarisn Movement might be
said to have had its beginning. 1t, however, never
assumed the proportions of national desire, but
resulted in the conversion to the Catholic Church
of many of the most intellectual clergymen and
laymen of the Anglican Communion.
The Romeward tendency of many distinguished
cergymen of the Protestant Episcopal Church of
the United States is not alone expression of hope
for the union of the two churches; it is also pro-
test against the doctrinal looseness and religious
supineness of many of the Bishops and ministers
of the Episcopal Church In the United States the
sentinels on the watch towers of Israel have left
their posts and are fraternizing with the enemy,
The concurrence of the House of Bishops with the
House of Deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in the United States, in the passage of the
Open Pulpit Act, has given thoughtful and con-
scientious clergymen and laymen of that church
ample material for serious reflection. The General
Convention of the Church, assembled at Richmond
last Autumn, contained very few crumbs of com
fort for those who have at heart the doctrina in
tegrty and decent ceremonial of the Episcopal
Church. Since the adoption of the ninth canon at
that convention it is permissible for the An
glican clergy to fraternize in Divns with dissent
ing bodies and to extend the hospitality of their
pulpits to Methodist, Baptist, or even Unitarian
ministers. 1t is now right and proper if clergy
man and his Bishop so agree, to permit any Prot
estant minister, or indeed. any man they will, to
deliver any message he may from the pulpit of an
Episcopal Church. The only provso is that the
dissenting minister be he hereto or a -infdel
CALI himself Christian. In the amendment to
Canon 10 the Bishops have trampled down the
hedge and the wild boar from the woods and
the wild beasts of the field may enter and root up
the vineyard 1t is the worst blow, and delivered
by her own sons that this church has been hit since
she separated from her Anglican mother.
