The figures of the divorce evil have
grown SO large in recent years that
they are little short of appalling to all
thoughtful citizens. 1t is not sur
prising that religious bodies all over
the country are giving the matter seri-
Gus consideration with a view of as
certaining what can be done to pre-
vent such a growing disposition to
disregard and dissolve the obligations
of the marriage tie. In 1887 there were
27,9ls divorces granted in this country,
while in 1906 the number had increased
to 7o,062. During the 20 years ending
with 1906. the total number of divorces
in this country were 9i5,645, an average
OF 47.2s1 a year. 1t would certainly
seem as if some way should be found
to check the enormous growth OF this
evil and no subject today appeals with
greater force to all citizens who have
at heart the highest welfare of the
community.

The Checking Of Consumption.

One of the new ideas which is being
ment to stamp out tuberculosis, is to
have all hospitals set aside wards for
the care of patients in the last stages
of consumption. 1t is urged that with
patients .hus segregated, and under
proper care and restriction, there would
be vastly less danger of spreading this
dread disease than is the case where
such patients are cared for al home.
1t seer,s to us that there are some
strong objections TO this. 1t is now
conceded, by the medical fraternity,
that tuberculosis. in it's last stages, is
scarcely be safe or practical TO treat
patients suffering from it under the
same roof with other patients.
The people who now seek the benefits
| of hospitals a large proportion of whom
do so for surgical operations, should
not be exposed to the danger of in
| lection from patients in the last stages
of consumption, who would be using the
same facilities, and be cared for by the
same nursing force. If such a service
should be rendered consumptive pa
TENTS it should te done in a distinct
and separate building wholly given over
to such use. If such institutions would
serve, in any large measure, to check
the spread of the great white scourge
by narrowing the field of infection, So
ciety could well afford to establish and
maintain them for that purpose

Cuban Finances.

The new republic Of Cuba is already
suffering from a sad lack of cash, which
of course is very undressing to it's ma
tional pride. Its Congress developed
wonderful capacity to vote approp-
nations without any apparent thought
Of where the money was to come from
Other legislative bodies have developed
the same tendencies, but in the real
race of imrrovidence the Cuban con-
gresham is clearly entitled to the belt
with several laps to spare. Not only
does the safety and dignity Of the Gu
ban government, in the minds of those
now charged with the responsibility
of it's administration call for a good
sized military establishment, but the
political obligations of the party in
power have been largely repaid by an
enormous extension of the civil list.
Governor Magoon's administration of
the island was specially strong on its
financial side, ard contrasts painfully
ent regime. Under American control
the budget for the fiscal year which
viii end June 80. was $24.250 900 and the
revenues were s27,OO0,00O, leaving a
comfortable surplus for the year of
50, 10000 1t is figured that the total
that will Re required to meet the ex-
penses of the present government for

while the total revenues will not ex-
coed $24.0O0,OO0 II these figures are
correct they foretell deficit at the close
of next year Of $4,000, 900 in the Cuban
treasury b..
1t must be admitted that these fig
ures go far to justify the Spanish con-
tention that the people Of Cuba are
not qualified for self government.
