TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.

The ministers OF Jackson, Miss,
have met and decided that they will
not perform the marriage ceremony
in cases where either the man or
woman desiring to be united in the
holy bonds OF matrimony has been
divorced. If the ministers believe 1t
is wrong to perform the rites of mat
rimony for a divorced then they
should not perform the ceremony for
such, but nevertheless and nothwith-
standing their decision, the divorces
when they decide to get married will
have the ceremony said just as long
as the State laws permit and the
office and powers of the justice OF
the peace exist.
While the divorce evil is a grow
ing menace to society and the mar
riage vow is too lightly considered,
seemingly, throughout the world and
especially among those who are con-
sidered leaders in the social fabric,
yet there are no doubt many noble
pure woman forced into the divorce
court by the brutality or neglect of
their husband who would make a
better man happy in welded life and
herself become am ornament to So
ciety; while there have, no doubt,
been many good men 'nagged" into
desperation and driven to separation
by a termagant, who with a good
woman as his wife, would become the
ideal Christian husband and citizen.
The divorce laws are often outra-
geously abused and in the smart
SETS of the east and sometimes in
other sections of the country are
made to serve a most unholy pur-
pose, but we are not near prepared
to say that all divorce laws should
be repealed or that all divorces
should be barred from another mar
riage.-Greenville Democrat

AMERICAN CARDINALS.

The Roman Catholic population I'M
der the American flag is estimated
at 24,00000O. That is nearly one
tenth of all the Catholics of the.
world. The United States is second
in the list of contributors to the sup
port of the Society for the Propaga-
tion of the Faith, the great mis-
sionary organization of the church.
1t excels all countries bit one in it's
contributions to Peters pence In
its response to the appeals of the
church for these two objects it gives
four times as much money as Italy
and Spain combined Such are some
of the statements of facts set forth
iii a plea for six American cardinals
made in the current number of the
North Americafrr Review The plea
is am important one at the present
time because there are seventeen va
cancies in the College of Cardinals
more than there have been for a
generation. Ii number of adherents
were the determining factor i'm the
choice of cardinals, then the church
would be in duty bound to assign
six places to the United States. The
WTII0I I'll Lille dIIlCl0 CHl6u SHOWS Ill
interesting fashion that the paths
to preferment in the church are much
easier for the Italian religious leaders
than for the American. He gives il
distractions of notable public service
rendered by Americans which, if
done by Italian bishops, would have
brought red hats as rewards. For
example, the part played by bishop
in connection with the adjustment
of the vexed friar matter in the Phil
ippiners, or that in connection with
the anthracite coal strike, or that i'm
connection with the attempt of Leo
XIII to prevent the Spanish-American
war; The historic reasons for the
dominance of the Latin element in
church councils are reviewed. 1t is
shown that they ought no. longer be
operative, but that the church, seek
ing to meet the needs of modern life,
should have among its highest adj
vilsers representative of all the ma
tions in whose odmain thousands of
adherents are Wound. The plea for
more cardinals is justifiable. Not the
second American cardinal, often hi
ted at as a possibility, but six is
the fair demand OF the great army
of churchmen who recognize allegi-
amce to the flag of the United States.

Views of Mulberry street Null berry Bend and the Five Points in New York City. which had been taken prior to present day improvements, showing plainly what life had been and what it is to-day the result of the work of great philanthropists and social workers.

JAPANESE PAPERS
 COOLING OFF
More Conservative in Comments on Cal.
 ifornia's Proposed Action.
(Special from United Press.)

Especial from UnlLeu FreSS.J
 Tokio. Jan. 23.-The conservative tone assumed by the Japanese press in the last few days in it's discussion of the California situation is believed by American residents here to be due to a governmental check. Where a few days ago the Japanese papers were de- claring that the adverse legislation might provoke a war, they are now admitting that the agitation was local to California and that even if the pro- posed legislation was adopted it would not work a serious hardship to Japan:
 Even the Hochi, the most rabid of Japanese papers, has calmed down per ceptibly. What the papers still insist on is that any restriction adopted by California or by the United States gov ernment, shall not single out the Japanese as its special object. The re- currence of the California agitation has convinced Japan that she must look elsewhere than to America to pro- vide for her excess population in the future.
 Korea, Manchuria, and Formosa au- thoritjes are doing their utmost to turn the trend of Japanese immigrants to these places. Japanese themselves would much prefer coming across the Pacific to America as the prospects are much better here.
