BANGOR, Me-, Jan. 1i-In the course

Luciliius a. Emery. Chief Judge of the
Maine Supreme Judicial Court, gave ut
terance to some views that have created
much comment and discussion among the
clergy comment and discussion among the
clergy and others. Judge Emery said, in
part:
Il have read a great deal and heard a
great deal about the divorce evil. Now. in
my opinion, divorce is not an evil, but
rather a remedy for evil. Like other REM
edles for evil. It may and does have at

ously consider and eliminate IL possible.

a remedy. The evil precedes divorce, but

APPLES AS A PAYING CROP.

HE address of President James T. Shall
cross of the Peninsula Horticultural So
ciety, an intelligent presentation Of the work
accomplished by that association of fruit grow
ers.
The last year summed up in results was not
satisfactory to the fruit producers, the weather
having greatly interfered with the crops. Prices,
too were low. The one bright spot, Mr..
Shallcross says, was the yield of apples 1t
seems that apples should be cultivated more
largely on the peninsula than they have been.
1t has been demonstrated that the peninsula can
produce apples of high quality Mr.. Shallcross
tells in his report of the practical failure of the
peach crop-an old story. Hard as it may seem,
it looks as if the peninsula will have to wipe
peaches as a practical crop from the farmers
slate.
Mr.. Shallcross points out the three important
factors in the fruit raising industry-productioA
transportation and selling and they are large
enough to keep the men interested busy all the
time Transportation of the fruit has always
been a difficult problem to handle, because of
the practical monopoly of the railroad company
in transportation. But in this the fruit men are
making progress. Selling facilities are much
better than they were few years ago.

DOING A HUMANE WORK.

IT WO organizations which do much good arc
\ the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals.
At the annual meetings of these organizations
Special Agent Stout presented his report of the
work done during the year. From this report it
is seen that the societies have not been inactive.
The society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children received All complaints during the year,

sort or other. No wonder there is need of
humane society to protect children from abuse
and i'll treatment.
The record Of the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals does not show so many
cases. There were $50 complaints and the agent
himself noticed 40 cases of cruelty. AS a re-
suit there were twenty-five prosecutions and 283
warnings The warnings evidently resulted in
tie abuses ceasing

BONDING OFFICIALS.

FINDER the present system Of requiring free
- hold bond for county officials in this coun-
" often the county and private persons who arc
on the bonds lose money. In fact the more the
present system is examined the more defective
well as unjust it appears to be-
1t will be recalled that at city election under
the referendum VOTE an expression of the views
of the voters was obtained on this question. By
an overwhelming majority the voters of Will
mngton declared that the city Office holders
should be bonded by corporations or bonding
companies The voters decided against the pres
cnt method of freehold bonds. 1t was however,
found that under the law bonding companies
could moi be accepted as sureties--in other
words what is regarded as the best sort of bond
is not available in Delaware simply because the
law specifies otherwise. The natural thing to do
then is to change the law so that the companies
may become sureties. This is evidently desired
by the people.
Let us notice how the present unjust system
works in practice The county must have off
cials The county says to the officials, you must
secure freehold bond. The county imposes,
therefore upon few men, for some persons must
become bondsmen or else we could have no dualr
ihed officials, a burden which should not be re
CURED. But The county goes further than this
II four men go on bond, the county says to
each individual you. John Smith, arc liable for
the entire amount of this bond. We the county
may be negligent in not watching the accounts
of the officials; all the bonds during the term Of
an official may not be worth the amount for
which they were originally given but il any one
of the bondsmen is worth the entire amount Of
all the bonds and some bonds prove not to be
good. we may require the entire amount fro II
the one or two men who are financially respon-
sible'
This is what happens in practice as was in
stanced in the case of a county defauter some
time ago when several men were forced to carry
the entire burden of his defalcation. The coun-
ty also is sometimes the loser as it was in this
case, as the full amount of the shortage was
not recovered, but a compromise was effected.
We thus see in this one example that the
present method instead Of being good or safe,
is unsafe. Therefore, bill to amend the Law
so that our trust or bonding companies may be
come sureties for county or city officials should
be presented to the Legislature early in the ses-
sion, and its passage should speedily follow.
