The farmers are taking time by the forelock and using the time to the very best advantage. Ground IS being rapidly gotten into condition for the planting of crops and every thing goes to show that larger acreage than usual of corn will be planted. Cotton Is the money crop of this country but without corn there would be very it- tie cotton raised. This being the case Alabama should raise enough corn to supply the demand of every farm along without corn. then why not raise itH

flor divorce the violation of the seventh is the only one in which the number granted to the husband exceeds the number granted to the wife. In this report on this question the director of the census point out the fact that while this sin is condoned in man. 1t is rarely forgiven in wo- man and the differsnce in the figures may be accounted for. Public opinion It's too severe on the woman who sins. American laws re better on this score than those of England. For while the English husband may geeure divorce on the ground of mere proof of his vorce must also prove cruelty in adii- lflon to the graver cause. In the United States the law Is the same for both man, and woman.
 A glance at the widely varying di- vorce laws that grace the statute books of the American commonwealths' win show that the wife has legal than the husband has The public senti- ment that created these laws decrees that the husband is responsible for the support and protection of his wife.

become our ministers they preach about
these most interesting people who lived
several thousand years ago. But when
man studies into the social life Of the
Pittsburgites. or the Brooklynites, or
the Chicagoites, and breaches about pre-

discusses when he talks about these

one OF the great questions in the
churches today is the failure to get the
working classes TO attend worship.
Isn't it barely possible that the outline
Of studies quoted here may explain this
failure in part at least? The simple
gospel Of Christ can certainly be pro-
claimed and illustrated by present So
cial conditions in this country quite as
effectively as If illustrated by the social
life Of the Israelites or Jebusites. 1t is,
Of course. safer to discuss the sins of
David or the oppression Of the Romans
than it would be TO talk publicly about
the sins of some present-day ruler or
fight the oppression OF some one known
Of men and still living. But in CaIvin's
day or Luther's. in Cromwelrs time,
even in Wesley's. the ministers of the
Christian religion did not hesitate to
rebuke those in high places or point the
inevitable punishment that would follow
individual and national violations Of the
moral law
Doubtless the youth Of the land have
been drawn away from the spiritual life
by the desire for money, just as the
whole people have; but the example of
the men who lead in church affairs. the
constantly increasing tendency of the
churches to ignore the real social prob
lens that confront them, must have had
q share in the unwillingness Of young
men TO enter upon a service hampered
by restrictions that prevent the full ex-
preston of opinion on the gravest
questions that demand a present
solution. In a calling that is poorly
paid that commands tremendous per-
sonaI sacrifice, there must be very
close relation between the pastor and
the common people TO compensate for
the sacrifice; and that relation does not
exist cannot exist so long as the
churches are unwilling TO discuss fear
lessly the things that most concern the
masses.

why the number of students in theo-

other professional schools show gains.
To the lay member a partial explana-

symposium in a recent number of the
Outlook. In this it is shown that one
OF the most influential seminaries in the
Presbyterian church gives third Of

Gross INeRATITUOE TO NORTH

1t hardly seems right that 5. D. n.
North should be forced out Of his posi-
ton as head of the census bureau Just
when he was getting in shape to have a
good time. There was nothing small
about North OF his ideas. Although he
was the lead of a bureau nominaliy
under the secretary Of the department
OF commerce, he had gathered the inn
preston that he was a bigger man
than the secretary and was responsible
only to the president. Indeed there
were indications that he considered
himself indispensable.
Now when any man thinks he is the
only one who can hold a particular job
he is due for trouble, whether he is
the head of a steel trust or just q plain
janitor. Even kings have been known
TO suffer because they had such a de-
fusion. and history is fun OF the rec
ords o. dereiicts wrecked on the same
notion. NJ Nagle Of 81 Louis the
secretary, thought North was wrong
and he proved it The president was
given his choice Of North or Nagle, and
ST. Louis won.
Mr.. North. Ct viii be remem bered. is
the astute gentleman who served with
the tariff committee in the formation
OF the Dingley schedules and at the
same time drew salary from the New
England wooden manufacturers for look
ing after their tariff interests. So we'll
die he combine his private and public
employ that the wool men gave him
an honorarium Of $4,000 in recognition
Of his services while working with the
tariff committee. The correspondence.
published not so very long ago, raised
something Of a scandal, but the admin
istration apparently thought this dual
service was all right for il rewarded
him with the appointment as census
director, one Of the best jobs in Wash
ington. Having thus approved him Of
ficially, Il seems grossly unjust TO now
throw him out the window. but perhaps
his old friends the wooden manufactur-
ers viii take care of him for services
rendered. They certainly ought to.
