SECULAR SHOTS AT PULPIT.

New York Post A London clergyman,
visiting this country, tells his audience
that no successful business man in mod
ern times can be honest, Even in an at
tempt at being sensational the business
man would find himself hopelessly out
olassed.
Chicago Record Herald: Owing to con-
tinued criticism the preacher who mar
ried John Jacob Astor and Madeline Force
has resigned from the ministry and an
nounced his intention of going into busl-
ness. Did John Jacob furnish the neces-
sary capital?
Houston Post: a Chicago minister says
the commandment, Love one another"
means exactly what II says, even that
every man should love every woman We
do not dissent from that view of It, but
we feel it our duty to add that there are
important qualifications to be observed
merely for the sake of peace and concord
Springfield Republican: The pope's de-
cision to create more American cardinals
has great significance, says dispatch
from Rome, and by some 1t is asserted
that the way is being paved for the flu
ture advent of the American pope" The
Italian majority in the sacred college
Will remain preponderant, no doubt for
many years to come, but one can con
eeive of situation arising which would
make an American pope seem expedient
TO cardinals engaged at some future time
in electing a new bishop of Rome. Euro.
pean rivalries might make such COM
promise attractive, And 1t may be added
that real American in the chair Of
St Peter might accomplish a great work
If he served long enough.

EDITORIAL PEN POINTS.

Houston Post: The biggest fool In all
the world lives in Kansas City. The
Judge in the Hyde trial rejected a yenire-
man on the ground that he hadn't sense
enough to be juror.
Washington Post; All the world heard
the news when the price OF sugar
jumped, but 1t is suspected that the
dropping thereof will receive but scant
publicity in grocery circles.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Nickel and
lO-cent stores are forming a big merger.
The public fail to see how nickels and
dimes can be marked up, but have no
reason to doubt the ingenuity of trusts.

Powers of Party Committees.

EVWSIb OF EdIIy OOmmltJeos.
Much Misunderstanding as to the
powers Of party committees prevails
even among those who ought to
know better. The editor OF a nearby
republican weekly, who bolted one OF
tho party nominees in the recent
election. justified his course by ex-
pressing his conviction that the can
didate in question was UNFIT, mo
matter II the members Of the state
committee are willing to stultlfy
themselves and disgrace the party by
supporting him"
This editor, who had himself
served on the state committee only
last year, ought to know that the
laws providing for direct primary
nomination have taken from the
party committees whatever power, II
any they ever had over the nom
inees, and that the certificate OF nom
ination issued by the canvasslng
board is final when uneontested
The committee has no authority in
law TO remove any candidate, or to
name a new candidate, except to fll
a vaoancy--in fact, It is presumed TO
get its commission from the same
source as the party nominee. Unless
nominee should himself volun-
tarily withdraw, the committee has
but one duty to perform, and that is
to conduct the campaign for all the
ticket to the extent that It's re-
sources permit. Were this not true
despotic party committee might
overturn the overwhelmingly ex-
pressed will Of the rank and file and
substitute someone who could by no
means procure a nomination In the
regular way.
What relates to the state or local
committee is equally true OF the ma
tlonal party committee. After a ma
tional convention has named the
standard-bearers the committee is
powerless to change the ticket with
out the consent of the nominees. A
nomination for president requires
the votes OF a majority Of the con-
vention delegates--in the democratic
convention OF two-thlrds majority
while the committees are made up
OF but one representative from each
state, Were the committee to usurp
power to make substitutions on the
ticket, representatives, OF a small
minority OF the whole. party might
easily control, r9's
The fact, then, Is that there is but
one appeal from a questionable nom
ination, when the nominee persists
In running, and that is to the people
who elect, and who, as a court Of last
resort, may decide in favor OF mis-
competitor. II the people, with full
and free choice, do not so decide. the
verdict must be either that the can
didate is not Objectionable or that
the voters are not aroused 10 the
seriousness Of the objections.

A Divorce Proctor.

For every fourth marriage in Kan
sas City last year another marriage
ended in divorce, This shocking
condition is attributed. chiefly, TO de-
fective divorce machinery. Eighty
per cent OF the divorces were granted
without contest. one-third of this
so per cent were Of couples from
other states. lured to Kansas City by
the laws facility. The law requires
outsiders to reside In the state one
year, but il seems to have been en-
tirely set aside and divorces granted
with utter abandon.
Aroused to the enOrmity of such
a baleful condition, Kansas City has
decided to install divorce proctor,
whose duty II shall be to summon
witnesses and hear testimony before
q divorce is granted, This should
have a restraining influence. but the
divorce evil will not be solved IN
Kansas City or elsewhere by taking
hold Of Il at the wrong end. The
divorce is the enlect, while the evil
lies in the cause, and the cause Is to
be found, very often, In the reckless
marriage. So Ns
Until society deyises some method
of safeguarding marriage, It Is
bound to have the divorce evil with
