DEFENDS DIVORCE.
Former Justice Brown Replies to
Cardinal Gibbons.

Describing as a 'gruesome picture
that drawn by Cardinal Gibbons in
his Views upon divorce, Henry B.
Brown, former justice of the supreme
court of the United States, spoke at
the meeting of the Maryland State
Bar association.
''The law and its procedure in di-

Mr.. Brown. He held that divorce

personal notice to the other side
generally rebounds to the welfare of
both sides and proves real bless

1T is HOT ONCE MORE.
The Mercury Mounts to 80 Degrees
This Afternoon.

Judging from the weather report
from the ten Kansas stations, the
season of food is over. A trace of
rain at Topeka was the only moisture
reported from any government sta
ton IN the state for the "a hours
ending at o'clock this morning.
At 1870 this afternoon, the Kaw
river was standing at 16.1, and the
rise expected this evening is not ex-
pected to do more than stop the pres
ent fall for few hours. The small
streams of the state are rapidly
draining off.
The government forecast for to-
night and Saturday is, Unsettled
weather and probably showers The
same prediction for last night and
today. failed to materialize.
This afternoon the wind is blowing
- miles an hour from the southeast,
and the temperature is rising again
to real July weather.

Again, it is reported from different
sources by men who are In touch with
some of the influential members of
the last senate that that BODY will op-
pose the remedial legislation suggested
by the administra ton.
This controversy of the national and
state banks over the guaranty ques-
ton and the spread of the guaranty
idea throughout the west has set the
big surety and insurance companies to
thinking and the state insurance de-
partment is advised that the larger
companies have about decided to add
the system of guaranty of bank de-
posits to their surety program. In
other words the fidelity companies
would go on a banks bond just as
they would on that of public official
and make good all loss to the publiu
If this plan is generally adopted the
need of a national bankers guaranty
company would be done away with.
Some of the national bankers are a.
little afraid of their own charter for
the reason that it does not limit the
liability of their insurance company.
Again it is stated that there is no state
law at all under which this bankers
insurance company can do business
and they would undergo the uncer-
tainty of threatened lawsuits facing
them under a vague law.
If some member of the national
bankers insurance company, acting
under the state law in the role of
policy holder, should appeal to the in
surance commissioner for redress the
absence of a specific law to cover the
case might lead to unlocked for COM
plications.
It is expected that by the first of
next week Governor Stubbs will de-
eide on the special session program.
Most of the men close to the governor
are predicting a special session, but
there is a strong sentiment among
men of influence in all walks of busi-
ness and political life against such an
action for the reason that it is un-
called for by the circumstances and
unwarranted by the facts. The rem
edy, they declare, can be found this
side of that contingency

BANKERS AND THE POSTAL
SAVINGS BANKS.

1t is doubtful if the American Bank
ers' Association has strengthened itself
with the public by the attitude it has
taken with respect to the establishment
of postal savings bank system. After
much discussion. the association has
gone on record as being opposed to the
establishment of postal savings banks.
It holds that despite the fact the
Republican party isfpledged in its plat
form to establish postal savings banks
there should be no legislation on the
subject Great concern is evinced over
the idea that the establishment of pos
tai savings banks would put the Gov
eminent into the banking business.
Such an attitude as this has much
the appearance of short sightedness on
the part of the bankers. In the first
place, one of the reasons why the Re
publican party did not lose more votes
on the issue of Government guarantee
of deposits was because it made a
specific promise of postal savings bank
legislation. It is a binding promise,
as President Taft said in his Milwau-
kee speech. 1t will injure the Repub-
lican party if it is not carried out
The idea that the relatively small
amount of business. done by the postal
savings banks would be menace to
the privately owned banks cannot be
taken seriously. Plenty of fsr-seeing
students and financiers, practical men,
are convinced the postal savings bank
system, by encouraging the use of
banks and bringing money out of hid
ing, would be a great reinforcement to
the banking system and distinct aid
to business by getting money now out
OF use into the channels of trade.
Just now, the bankers are entering
on great movement for the establish
ment of a central bank. They viii not
help this movement by fighting the
postal savings bank The central bank
and the postal savings bank are not
exclusive of each other In fact. able
thinkers on banking and currency ques-
tions are by no means wanting who
believe that the postal savings hank
idea could best be carried out if cen
trail bank were established.

CHINESE STUDENTS IN AMERI-
CAN SCHOOLS.

Substantial evidence that China is
giving more and more attention to the
United States and that it is DESTROYS
of having its people learn, more and
more about the American way of doing
things is seen in the fact that dele
cation of fifty-one students will leave
Shanghai next month to study in va
rious American schools.
This is an outgrowth of the generous
action of the United States in renting
to China the balance of the Boxer in
demnity which was paid to this Govern
ment by tie Celestials on account Of
the Boxer outrages. When the sum
was RENTED, China determined that
the money would be devoted to the
cost of educating Chinese students in
America and sent representative here
to convey its appreciation and to ad-
wise this Government what it had
determined with respect to sending stu
dents here.
The coming Of students from China,
sent by the government, is likely TO
be largely instrumental in strengthen
ing the already good relations between
the two countries. II is at a time
when President Taft Is doing his ut
most 10 bring about better relations,
knowing that the time is at hand for
great development in China II is
likely to lead TO a better understanding
all around.
1t is noticeable that Chinese stu
dents are not being sent to Japan as
freely as they were few years ago.
Americans are too much inclined 20
fail to appreciate the strong points in
the characters of other peoples and to
make no effort 20 understand them.
The advent Of a strong delegation of
Chinese is likely 10 be quite as bene-
fetal to this nation as it is 10 China.
And if this country can train the ma
iority OF the Chinese who 60 abroad.
there will not be much difficulty about
expansion of trade or about American
influence in China continuing TO wax
stronger.

Assertions of this sort might be re-

them. If we got mad, WI would ask
why and would asseverate more and al

way of saying that Americans might
