"REeELLloN," A DIVORCE PLAY.


Patterson's divorce play, to which
he has given the title Rebellion" Che
might have appropriately added,
against the teaching of Jesus
Christ") has been on the boards at
a local playhouse this week. We
have not seen the production and
know of it only through the criticisms
of it which we have read. In it the
author takes an extreme case of I'M
happiness In marriage and by wildly
depicting the misery of a young wo-
man whose misfortune it is to be
married to worthless, drunken sot,
he endeavors to prove to his audi
ence that divorce in this particular
case is justifiable and, by inference,
to show that the position of the Cath
olic Church on the divorce question
is wrong.
OF course this play does not prove
anything. as no play can prove any
thing. BY a misuse of the play
wrights' art he wins the sympathy of
his audience for the young woman,
who, in the early part of the play, is
innocent enough. Then with the pic
ture Of misery, undeserved on the
part of the wife, before his audience,
he allows the priest to argue for the
position of the Church. Having the
cnfffnO orroroaA hot h~
Ing of the priest is lost on the audi
ence, who are sympathizing with the
woman without any thought of the
principle involved, he makes no i'm
preston Cor at least he will not if
the audience is gushy enough) and
the disobedience of the girl in getting
a divorce Is apparently justified. The
author does not take any particular
pains to impress on his audience the
fact that the marriage was a free con-
tract into which neither of the par
ties was compelled to enter in the
first place. He forgets to impress up
on them the fact that they both knew
II It unhappiness would be the result
If they misjudged one another's char
acters; that they both knew, if they
were Catholics, that marriage is a
union which only death can dissolve.
He forgets to bring to the attention
OF this audience the fact that there
are virtuous men and women living
happily in the world who have never
entered and never expect to enter the
married state. And finally both he
and his audience overlook the fact
that the rebellion" is only a means
to enter another marriage which may
be worse than the one from which
the villain heroine has broken away.
For why should the second marriage
be better? If she made a poor guess
In the first instance what reason have
We to think she wouldn't use moor
Judgment in the second instance? And
besides she has the faint of a broken
vow on her conscience.
The critics for the local dailies
have given the play credit for being
an excellent production from the
viewpoint Of art" 1t is, however,
not so good from the point of view
or article. 1t was failure in New
York and it is creating no sensation
here. The principle which it aims to
popularize is wrong and, embellish it
as they will for the sake of making a
particular case of divorce seem JUS
tifiable, the play will not appeal ex.
cept to those who would remove all
restraints to sensuallty.

When one speaks Of walking

sa When one speaks of walking a
mile" it makes all the difference in
the world what part of the world one
sis in. An American mile is 1850
yards. In England the same standard
is employed. But the Irishman must
stroll good deal farther on the old
sod before he can say he walked a
mile. The Irish mile is 2,240 yards,
sor about one and one-third times as
great as the English and American
The Irish standard., 1911-11-11

mile There are other countries that
have longer miles still. The Flemish
mile is $3.50 yards; the Prussian, S.
237 yards; the Danish, S,244. But
Switzerland, one of the smallest coun-
tries in the world, leads all the coun-
tries of the world when it comes to
matter of long miles. The Swiss
mile is 9,153 yards.

During the past weeks a good deal
has been said about the attitude Of
the present administration toward the
trusts. If we are to take reports at
their face value the trusts are in a
bad way. But on second thought the
idea occurs that 1t is very opportune
time to make the people believe that
the administration and the trusts are
at outs.

Chinese massacre to Torreon, Mex,
May 10, was heard in Chicago yester-
day, when Willie Poyke, member

ment for the purpose of filing a claim
of 100000 against the Mexican gov

stroyed.
Several of the Chinese slain were
men we had sent from Chicago to
Torreon and other Mexican cities to
take charge of our merchandise

Lo company said last night. In Tor
reon we had the largest Chinese store

MORMON CHURCH NOT IN POLITICS
Statement by President Kim ball and others of St.
 JosephIs Stake

The following communication rom the presidency of St. Joseph Stake. Of the Mormon church, was sent to the Graham Guardian for the enlighten- ment of those who had received an erroneous impression from garoled report of an address by President Kimball:
 We are reminded by letters from prominent democrats of this county, who misunderstood the words and meaning of President Kimball during the closing remarks in the confer ence of the Latter Day Saints, Sun day afternoon. the 17th.
 The writer understood the speakers to say: T look forward to making this a Mormon county" President
Bisbee daily review., 1911-09-24

Kimball did not say this. neither did his remarks have any meaning that would indicate any such words. He said: ''We should be careful to elect good, clean men to office in this coun- ty, and have every office holder of high calibre. because this would be looked upon as a Mormon county"
 There is no "anti-Mormon senti- Inent in Graham county, nor in our fair territory, and there is no need of 1t. Our conduct and public utter ances would never warrant any such condition.
 In politics we arc strictly partisan, and we have no idea of anything else.
 We reafiiFm the statement made by President Kimball, that we should put forth the best timber that we have, and elect a ticket that will be of the highest type of officeholders. We have fought out the saloon ques- ton in our county. ard so far as tho dominant church in Graham county is concerned, we propose to upbuild and sustain only conditions looking for ward to maintaining dry and moral conditions in our midst.
 The church is not in politics, but every member has the right and should not be curtailed in the free exercise of his citizenship; but ths Mormon church and ali other churches are against the saloon, and therefore we advise the greatest eau ton in the selection of political off, cers, that the saloon and vices kin dred thereto may be Uprooted and kept down, while moral and clean conditions do prevail.
 The communication is signed by , President Kimball, Charles NJ. Layton and John F. Nash, of the presidency
