LOVE IN AMERICA.

The characteristic American atti-
tude toward women is a modern YER
sion of the Puritan attitude and is con-
sequently a mixture of benevolence,
pleasant. However successful an in
stitution the American family may be
when it survives, the American mar
riage is no more conspicuously sue
cessful than any other kind of mar
riage. People in America enter into
this serious and difficult contract for
the same absurd reasons as prevail
anywhere else. Now of all the kinds
of marriages that people make, mar
money are the least likely to be sue
cessful, and Of these the marriage for
passion has by far the poorer chance
of survival. But it is precisely this
kind Of marriage that is idealized in
America, where also divorces is easier
than in any other country. Passion
is idealized; by which I mean that
there is more dreadful and disastrous
nonsense talked and written about
love in America than anywhere else,
and constant harping on the differ
ence between pure" and impure"
love. One of the minor American
characteristics is the self-conscious
cult of Purity with a large Pa cult
too self-conscious to be quite clean
It is not the kind of purity which con
sists in looking calmly at life and Sc
lecting the good from the base in it
but of childishly dividing life into two
halves, opening the eyes on one hall
and shutting them on the other, label
ing one-half Good and Pure, and the

DIVORCE STRONGER
THAN QUEEN

Writing for the spread of divorce,
"A Veteran Diplomat" says in the De-
cember Metropolitan Magazine:
Queen Mary, on her husbands &C
cession to the throne, caused it to be
known that she intended to revive the
rules and regulations of Queen Vic
toria. She even went a step further,
and intimated that the men concerned
in divorce cases, as respondents, or
as correspondents, would be regarded
with disfavor in the highest quarters.
Queen Victoria never visited her dis
pleasure on the men implicated in d.
vorce cases, save in the solitary in
stance of Sir Charles Dixie. Indeed,
several of her most famous and most
trusted ministers, such as for IN
stance, Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmer
ston, and the now octogenarian, Lord
LANDAU were mixed up in all sorts
ing either their office or her good will
Both King George and Queen Mary
however, found that it was quite i'm
possible to put their avowed inten
tions into practice. They could MOI
exclude divorced women from theil
court, unless they barred therefron
the Kings own first cousins, Crane
Duchess Cyril of Russia, and Princess
Louise of Schleswig- Holstein, as vel
as host of other royal AMI imperia

ly related to them by ties of blood"

friends of Miss Plunkett however. feel
confident that she will be elected for
another term. This office is filled by

QUESTION OF POLITICAL ETHICS.

Editor Daily News:
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE re-
suits of the recent fractional fight in
Mississippi politics, while remarkable,
even deplorable, yet, to the observant
were easily accounted for and readily
understood; but, in the editorial dou
BILE column of your issue of Nov. 10th

writer, so foreign to his estimate and
conception of the splendid abilities

geously contend for the survival of
the fittest under any and all circum-
stances, that he confesses, they are

less deplorab!e than the results of the
conflict referred to.

that the the metropolis has been the

the purpose of discussing with all
hands the possibility of a readjust-

the elections in the different states on
the first Tuesday in November. The
Democrats claim that they are going
ahead at full steam; the Republicans
allege that the results in New York
and New Jersey will eliminate those
states from Democratic consideration
in the national election next year. The
