Sir James Mcdonald. proprietor of the

oracle in tariff matters and which has
stood for sixiy-six years for easy trade
relations between the two countries, has
been asked by President Taft 10 confer
with him to-day at the White House on

into effect on March 81 under the Aldrieh-
Payne tariff law against the Dominion.
The owner of the Globe is in Washing

Rev A P. Doyle. rector Of the Apos-

Church yesterday. and characterized d.

He cited official statistics TO show that
divorces in this country are increasing
relatively three times as fast as the pop
ulation.
There were nearly 100000 divorces
in the last twenty years." said Father
Doyle, about three times as many as
in the previous twenty years. There are
about 5000 courts whose time is princi-
pslly occupied in disrupting the family

the lowest in this regard.
Make but one comparison-America de-
stroys one family in every fourteen. while
in Ireland there is one divorce in every

are increasing three times as fast as the
population.
Divorce is Americas national night

There seems TO be no power in the
