BLAMES MARRIAGE LAWS.
Episcopal Thsolosian Says Matrinon,
10 Not Sacred Enouah.

Episcopal Thsologian Says M~atrinnopy
10 Not Sacred Enough.
Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 27.-The
Rev. Dr.. Henry 8. Nash. professor In
the Episcopal theological school Of -
city, believes that conditions regarI
the s~acredness OF ~mstrimony have
come to such q deplorabIe state that
s~tricter marriage laws are a necessity
and that divorce although a necessary
evil. should be made harder to obtain.
Illustrating his point on the easy man
ner Of obtaining divorces and the In
consequential methods OF entering into
wedlock DR.. Nash cites four cases:
The Eames-Gogorza engagement, the
Gould-Decies alliance, the CHAMBER
Cavalier case and the reported Nc
Kim-Vanderbilt escapade.
He says the remedy lies IN the proper
rearing Of the children, In s~tricter mar
riage and divorce laws, in the salvation
Of politics by men worthy to hold pc
litical positions and-by the patriotic
adherence to the dogma Of liberty,
equality and fraternity.

Acting upon the suggestion of editorial in
our columns under date OF June 2Sth. Mr.. Will
liam Northrup. president of the Virginia Rail-
way and Power Company. makes full and en-
phatic denial OF the rumors in recent circula-

We glad to have confirmed our statement
that these rumors were probably unfounded,
and direct the public to Mr.. Northrup's let
ter which we have pleasure In publishing in
full in another column.
1t is we'll to remember in the future fact
stated in this communication: the street car
lines are operated under franchises calling for
the fulfment OF certain conditions. Prior to
any change Of policy by the company, the fran
chise must be altered by the Council, Aside
from the frank. and believe sincere. assur-
ances of Mr. Northrup, the City Council stands
always as the guardian and protector OF the
public interests.

Party Lines Broken.

Only one Democrat left his party and voted
with the Republicans on the wool tariff bill
IN the house, while twehty-f Republicans
voted With the Democrats.
The nnanimity of the Democrats III the house
on this and other tariff measures which have
been before that body is forcefui and suffi-
cient refutation of the ancient Islander that
the Democratic party could never be relied upon
to accomplish anything because every Demo-
crat had a little idea all of his own as to lust
how every i'll should be remcdied. ana could be
convinced that no other mans idea bet
ter or just good.
AT the time the breaking up of tn,
republican party upon the tariff question Is
again emphasized. Even more forcibly Is the
dissolution Of the old party manifested In the
united states senate, where very consider
able minority of the Republicans are In open
revolt against the majority upon the tariff
problem.
Already the Republican party has abandoned
the principle of tariff for the protection of
our infant industries some of the infants
having grown to be stronger and moro power
ful than the mother. 1t has also abandoned
the claim that the foreigner pays the tariff
which 1t advanced with so much rervor years
ago. The Republican principle of protective

1t was twenty. or even ten, years ago. And
