THE OUTLOOK FOR LEGISLATION
Savannah Morning News.)

Savannah Morning News.)
The prospect that the Legislature
will make a record for doing things
isn't promising. 1t hasn't done a
great deal yet and less than three
weeks of the session remain. The
McLendon case and the near beer
will offer opportunities for a great
deal of lk-time-consuming talk
which if taken advantage of will in
terfere greatly with expected legisla-
ton. The McLendon case has al
ready delayed legislation much more
than it should and we cannot see that
the prohibitionists would gain any
thing by insisting upon considering
the near beer bill. If that bill should
be passed the Governor, under his
promise to the prohibitionists, would
be compelled to veto it. A promin-
ent prohibitionist admits that
What has become of the biennial
sessions bills? The people want that
and they would like to have a chance
to express their views on the bill
abolishing the Office of county treas
urer. And the bill to equalize assess
ments, what is going to be done with
it? 1t is very important bill. Even
if it shouldn't be passed at this ses-
sion it will be subject of a good
deal of debate.
There are 500 or more bills await
ing action, and the number which
has reached the Governor is so small
that no mention of them has yet
been made in the public prints. 1t
must be evident to the Legislature
therefore that it will have to get
down to hard work if it expects to
receive the applause of the people.
The general tax bill is going to take
up a good deal of time. There isn't
money enough in sight to go around,
and there is certain to be something
of a scramble for what there is.
Therefore the bill. as it comes from
the committee, isn't likely to be at
all satisfactory. If it isn't it will be

CURRENT COMMENT

the subject of a great deal of discus
sion. 1t is to be hoped that it's pas
sage will not be delayed until the
very last hours of the session. If it
should be so delayed it wouldn't be
possible to make it what the Legis-
laturewants it to be in the short
item allowed for its consideration.
The work of the session seems to
have dragged. Is that because the
McLendon case injected too much
politics into the proceedings? What.
ever the reason it is evident that
the Legislature has got to work faith
fully and vigorously the remaining
days of the term if it expects to win

DIVORCE IN ENGLAND
Conservatives in Alarm at GOreH Agi.
tatiOn for Reform
New York World.)


The proposition in the house of
lords to give British county courts
power to grant divorces is well cal
culated to alarm the conservatives. On
its face, however, the movement is
one simply to extend to people who
cannot now afford it a privilege very
largely employed by the wealthy
classes. For the divorce in Britain
as it can be obtained under present
conditions, only through the high
court is very much of a luxury. The
agitation for the change proposed bv
Lord Gorell began several years ago.
Those opponents of the Gorell mo-
ton who cite the American example
OF the increase in marital separations
have abundant food for their fears at
home. A London Express writer cal
culated in 1905, that, considering the
difference III population, the divorce
and separation figures per 100 inhab-
itants were as great in England as in
the United States. If restrictions of
expense for proceedings shall be
removed now, as suggested, the
British example will be likely soon
to displace the American.
But the fact which impresses it.
self is that divorce is never and no.
where a national issue. French di-
vorces increased from 1879, in 1884,
to 1924 in 1906. In Germany the
increase is steady year by year, al
though most marked in most densely
populated districts. Divorce is a
world issue, and chiefly a social is
sue 1t may be apparently restrained
by arbitrary statutory provisions; but
the evils at the base remain. Lord
Gorell, holds with reason that rigid
ity of law or unavailability of the
courts breeds merely separation and
covert immortality in place of the open
forms of readjustment

PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS
BRILLIANT CEREMONY

| Fof the tlfst time since the parish
was founded twenty-five years ago.
y Pontifical High mass was eele-
| brated In the Immaculate Coneep-
ton church yesterday morning. The
ceremonies began promptly at 10
lo'clock and were unusually brilliant
| throughout As early as nine o'clock
| the church began to be filled with
people and at 10 o'clock every seat
was occupied The archbishop acted
as cclebrant and sung the mass being
assisted by Rev G.. NJ. Capilupi, S. j.

ceremonies. The musical program
was beyond a doubt the most boauti-
full ever rendered in the church Great
credit for the successful rendition OF
the music is due To Mrs. 4. J. shin
ck, the dircctrees OF the choir. Con-
sidering the fact that the rchearsals
for the mass sung yesterday were only
commenced two weeks ago, the sing
ing was extraordinary.
The individual solo work and eho-
rus work was excellent and marked
new epoch in musical work IN
tho immaculate conception church.
Rev Edward Barry, the distinguish
ed Jesuit orator from Denver, deliv-
cred an eloquent sermon ON Faith
The preacher said that without faith
is was impossible to please God. that
the man who had faith in God and
that faith by good
works would be saved but that the
man who refused to cooperate with
the grace of God, believe and perform
good works, would be condemned.
The sermon was powerful effort,
delivered by a master Of logic, theo'-
oey, iitcrture and oratory, and was
a distinct intellectual treat to those
who heard it. AT the conclusion of
the Pontifical mass, the archbishop
spoke briefly. thanlSin~ all those who
had assisted in making the celebration
