DIVORCES
Vigorously Denounced By
Rev. |. D. Greene
IN His Address At The Y. NJ.
c. A. On Sunday
In Speaking On The "ldeal
Christian Home"
Makes An Appeal For ClGRIi-
ness In Homes
-
And OF The Relations o.
Husband And Wife

The people who attended the meet.
ing at the Y M. G. A. Sunday after.
noon received toning up on their
relations to the home and the home
folks. The Rev. l.. d. Greene present
ed very forceful address on the top
ic, "The Ideal Christian Home, the
Moral Home and the Ruined Home"
The address was full of helpful and
permanent advice in reference TO the
relations that should exist in the home,
relations of husband and wife and par
ent and children. He urged that the
home should be full of real Christ
ian love, that patience and forbear-
ance should prevail at all times. He
cautioned the young men and women
not to marry too early in life, and
stated that early love, if true, would
keep for few years and that lat
er date for marriage would be all the
better for future relations-that hus.
band and wife then would be sure to
have oompanionship just when they
need it. Mr.. Green took occasion to
vigorously denounce the present d.
vorce rate. There is but one cause
for divorce in the real law of life, SO
that when we consider that divorces
are granted for even the smallest pro-
vocation there is not very pleasant
condition Of affairs existing in Ameri-
ca today in this connection. Last year
there was granted in the courts of the
United States an average of over 200
divorces every day. At the close of
the court in Cleveland last spring
there was granted at one time 240
absolute divorces.
The appeal for cleanliness in the
home, for great care in reference to
amusements and recreation was very
earnest. The speaker claimed in avery
eloquent manner that no home would
be ideal or complete without Jesus
Christ as definite part of the circle.
He called upon parents and children
to express more positive effection
toward one and another.
This was one of the most helpful
addresses that has been presented
this season.
The interest in athletics at the Y.
M. G. A. Saturday was well up to the
high standard that has prevailed for

the afternoon the Cadets went TO Gam
bier on the train and hiked back home
by the road.

corps met with Mr.. Bliss for their

ROOSEVELT NOT AT HOME
TO STANLEYS CALL

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. August 7.-con-
gresham A. o. Stanley, of Kentucky,
chairman of the house committee which
is investigating the United States Steel
corporation, called at Sycamore Hill late
yesterday to pay his respects to Colonel
Roosevelt and was keenly disappointed
not to find the ex-president at home.
He had merely dropped in" he said,
while automobiling across Long Island.
His motor trip. he added, was under
taken mainly to get little fresh air and
rest after the hard work of the week 5
session of the committee, and he had
given Colonel Roosevelt no intimation
that he intended to call.
II am certainly well pleased with the
way the testimony has developed at our
New York hearings" said the Kentucky
congressman. Il believe we are getting
at the basic facts in the steel situation,
and enlightening ourselves as well as the
public in the mean time. We still have
some strenuous days ahead of us at the
continued hearings in Washington. The
length of the remaining sessions will
depend a good deal on when congress
adJourns."

SILENT
OVER HIS CANDIDACY

DALTON, Ca. Aug. T-Since his return
from Atlanta Friday night, Mayor Paul
B. Trammell has been a busy man. 1t
was rumored that he would have some
definite statement relative to his enter
ing the race for governor on his return
from conference with political friends
at the capital, and Saturday he received
numerous callers, all anxious that he
would make the statement and that 1t
would be his decision to become can
didate.
These callers were, however. doomed to
disappointment: for, while Mayor Tram
nell spoke encouragingiy ne would make
no positive assertion as to his plans. In
fact, he stated that he himself was just
as much in the dark as his callers, for he
had reached no decision.
That Mayor Trammell's visit was al
together for the purpose of viewing exist
ing conditions at first hand among the
lawmakers at the capitol, the one place
where the sentiment of all sections of
the state can be determined, Is the gem
eral opfnion here And since his return
he has expressed himself as satisfied with
his visit.
Since his return. Mayor Trammelrs
friends have been doubly in; tent in their
requests that he enter the race, and are
hopeful Of an early compliance on May
or Trammells part.

litical Enemies

WASHINGTON. Aug. Ito the activ-
ity of political enemies, Representative
A. +. Lafferty, of Oregon. ascribes the
threatening attitude assumed by the
father of a young woman of this city.
The representative admits having ad-
dressed letter to the young woman to
whom he had never been introduced, en-
closing card TO the house gallery and
expressing the hope that he might some
time have an introduction, if agreeable
to her. but states that was all the letter
contained
Mr.. Lafferty says he received call
from the young womans father, who is
chief clerk in one of the government
services. The father. said Mr.. Lafferty,
remarked that he was surprised to see
that the representative was so useful
man. Apparently he had relieved his
mind of the idea that the letter had
been written in bad faith. The visitor
departed in good humor, declared the
representative. who has not seen him
since.
Another letter came. however, threat
ening Mr.. Lafferty. 1t was written on
paper manufactured in Oregon. according
to the representative. and for that rea-
son he considers 1t was inspired by po-

FREIGHT RATE ADVANCES
STAYED BY COMMISSION
Interstate Board Orders Sus-
pension of Class Freight
Rates in Northwest
tBy Associated Press


WASHINGTON. Aug. 7,-Proposed adj
-vanees in class freight rates by railways
operating between the, Mississippi and
Missouri rivers. which were TO have be-
come effective on October 81 1911, today
were suspended by the interstate COM
merce commission until December 80.
The suspension affects all class rates
from Atlantic seaboard points to Kansas
City, Omaha and other Missouri river
transfers The increase proposed aver
ages about 3 cents per 100 pounds on
freight of the first class
The rates attacked are substantially
the same as those complained of in the
well known Burnham-Han Munger
case. In 1908. the commission issued an
order in that proceeding reducing the
rates on first class freight from 90 cents
to 81 cents a hundred pounds and maxi
ing preportionate reductions on freight
of other classes. The railroads contested
the order, which was effective for two
years from November 10. 1908. In October,
1910, the United States supreme court
sustained, and the case win be heard
lower rates were made effective immedi-
ately. They continued In effect only IA
days when, on the expiration Of the two
years life of the order the railroads
again advanced them. The advance was
sustained and the case will be bearded
probably in the approaching autumn.

DIRIGIBLE TORPEDOES NOT
LIKELY To BE ABANDONED

WASHINGTON, August Though the
reports OF the experts who have been
watching the OPERATIONS of the battle
ships, torpedo destroyers and submarines
near Provincetown, Mass. have not yet
reached the navy department the off,
Gals of the diyislpn of material declare
there is not the slightest probability of
the abandonment of the use of dirigible
torpedoes in naval warfare because of
their alleged inaecuracy.
They insist that the torpedo has been
greatly improved in recent years. not
only in the matter of speed and range,
but in accuracy of direction. 1t is true
that in rare instances the automatic
steering gear of the torpedo has blocked
ITSELF. causing the weapon to take an
erratic course. but through the use of a
small gyroscope within the shell it is
generally possible to hold the torpedo
on a very accurate course.
1t is assumed that because the range of
the weapon has been extended from 500
yards to nearly 1900 there will be more
misses, but even II one out of four or
i've torpedoes finds It's mark. the experts
will be entirely satisfied.
