Aston. the Law and the Church.

The New York Herald, in a some
what heated controversy with those
who object 10 the projected remar-
rage of John Jacob Astor. declared
that the divorce of Mr.. Aston lis per-
fectly legal in the state where 1t was
issued, and consequently legal
throughout the country" There is
no doubt that this statement is per-
the union, while empowered to make
their own marriage laws, are con-
strained by the constitution to give
due respect to the laws OF other states
and TO the degrees Of their courts.
However, that does not hinuer man
who has a legal divorce on grounds
that are recognized in one state,
from going elsewhere and marrying.
In the Aston case, however. the d.
vorce was granted for adultery and
the law of the state OF which he is
citizen, forbids him to marry again.
He is a member Of the Episcopal
church, whose clergymen are forbid
den to celebrate marriage for him,
and the only thing he can do il he
wishes to be legally married is to
go outside OF his state and outside
OF his church to have the ceremony
performed.
There is no injustice in this, be-
cause the community al large is not
affected in the least as to whether
any certain man or woman marry or
do not marry.
It is urged that uniform divorce
laws in the several states would sim
plify many OF the cases that arise.
Perhaps that is true. but that has
little or nothing to do with this case.
In the future If the laws of the diff
ferent states are made uniform and
right such a scandal as is proposed
in the Aston case will be rendered
impossible Of consummation.

powers with a view to getting rid Of

Italy and accomplishing the union of

Safety in the Air.

! 1t really seems that the time has
! come when the idea of speed should
/ be subordinated TO the idea of safety
1 if the navigation of the air is to be-
come a thing of practical utility. Up
I to this time it has been largely a
matter OF sport, or a contest of dar-
ing The time has about arrived
when there should be such a demon
stration of the safe navigation of
the air as shall convince the people
that there is something in the future
of aviation to repay the cost of. it.
The tragic death of the two aviators
who were killed at Chicago last week
with all the sickening tragedies that
have gone before, are too high a
price TO pay for a mere stunt that
has as It's only object the thrilling
OF the gaping multitude. Out of ev-
cry advance that is made in the ap-
plication OF human invention there
must be a commensurate advantage
to the human race in general. The
New York Tribune says:
The deaths of two aviators at
Chicago show again how little prog
ress is being made toward rendering
the aeroplane safe. Not only may
the flyer encounter holes in the air,
dangerous gusts and aerial whirl-
pools, and not only will a sudden
loss of nerve or giddiness imperil
him, but worse than all this, in spite
Of precautions and careful examina-
tons by expert machinists, he may
go aloft with a hidden defect in his
airship and be doomed TO fall to his
death. Although the causes of the
two Chicago accidents were not GER
tainly determined, ii seems probable
that both aeroplanes fell because of
plane has not yet reached the point
where. even carefully groomed for
exhibition purposes, ii may not sud
denly collapse and dash its driver to
the ground So far as safety is con-
cerned. including stability in the air
under suddenly adverse conditions
and freedom from mechanical weak
nesses. it is hard to see that any con-
siderable advance has recently been
made"
OF course, II is a great thing to be
able to say that an aviator can fly
over the country at a rate OF speed
faster than the fastest express train.
but the triumph will be more secure
when he can say that he can operate
his machine with as great or greater
safety to IT'S passengers. 1t is safety
and not speed that is the great de-
sidatum

irish Home Rule Near.

Irish home rule, so long the hope

within a few years, and there has not

enough to put it through parliament,
at least in the initial stage. This is
reasonably certain, whatever may be
the fate of the measure when it
comes up again after the lords de-
feat il.
The dangerSfor home rule lies in
the possibility that the liberals may
not be able to retain power for two
or three years longer. until they can
bring the time Limitation TO their aid
in the upper chamber. Politics in
Great Britain is in convulsive stage
at present. While the house of lords
as an anti-reforrn body is now sub
jected TO certain important restric-
lions, social issues are coming to the
front which may compel Asquith to
dissolve parliament and make a new
appeal to the people In that case
the issue would be home rule, with
out any entangling alliances with
any other question. Then would
come a serious fight for the liberals,
especially in England, which is the
predominant partner in the United
Kingdom. Home rule for ireland. II

issue for Wales and Scotland. and
eventually for England. This consid-
Grafton may or may not hasten this

ally, however, local parliament for
each of the Kingdoms is certain.
And so it Is not only the old issue
OF home rule for Ireland that is at
stake IN these latter days, but the APP
plication of the principle to all parts
of the British empire, which in time
is expected TO develop a high type of
popular government With the broad
ening of the lines and the introduce
ton of republican ideas and repub-
lican government into many of the
great nations of the earth, it is easy
to see that the home rule movement
in England is only part of a world
