CARNATIONS. They convene once y
year, their members make addresses
and resolutions are adopted, and the
man in the street is apt to conclude
that that's an end of the matter!
But it lacks very great deal of be-
ing the end. Indeed, it has come to
be so in this country that congresses
and legislatures take very few pro-
gressive steps unless they are first
prodded into action by some volunteer
association of men and women. Near
ly all of the political and social re-
forms that make the glory of the last
decade got their initial impulse in
some civic association. Legislatures,
national and state, have developed in
to little more than workshops in
which the marble rough-hewn by some
civic association is chiseled into its
finished state. We quarrel in a most
unseemly way over the merits of the
Initiative" Pending a conclusion of
the academic debate, we have virtual
ly put it into practice, because all
of our legislative achievements that
are above routine matters are moved
outside the halls of legislatures. Leg
islatures have become merly con-
sentative and critical bodies that do
little more than deny enthusiasm its
full demand.-Dallas News.

THEIR RECOMMENDATION.

1t is interesting to learn that the
Dallas Pastors Association discussed
the divorce law and recommended GER
tain changes to the legislators. I'm
doubtedly quite number of changes
are needed Some of these changes
which have been recommended at
various times in various states have
been put into effect and are more sat
isfactory than the former laws. Little
has been done to improve the divorce
law of this state.
But it seems strange the pastors
should make this recommendation
The divorce evil, after all, is of such
nature that little can be done by
any divorce law to help the situation

some one with a stronger pull wanted
the job with its accompanying fat SAL
