SOPHS ARE WINNERS In
WARM GAME OF BALL
Easily Defeat High School
Contingent

On Friday night at the gymnasium
of the Y. N. c. A. the Sophomore elias
basket ball team put the kibosh to the
"All High School by the quite decis-
i've score of 80 to 8. This unquestion-
ably gives the Sophs the title Of
Champs of the High School.
The 81, his showed superiority at
every stage of the game, while the
All-High School showed there were
points .'ot yet discovered. For the
Sophs, McMath was easily the star,
with Chester, a colse second, McMath
having field throws to his credit
and Chester 6.
Between halves the Freshman AS
played the Freshman BIS" with a vic
tory for the former at the very large
score of four to seven. In this con-
test, Bell was probably the star for
the AS, while Dews Miller took the
honors for the BIS"

A great many Republicans, Ne thinH'
will agree with Harper's Weekly that
the Democrats in Congress are making
quite a fine showing. When il came
10 getting together on the reciprocity
with Canada" says the Weekly they
beat the Republicans all 10 pieces The
five Democratic votes against the bill
look so very. very small beside the one
hundred and forty-four ayes that they
reaIly. serve 10 mephasize the fact OF
practical unanimity. It was about the
sanest and best thing the House Dem
ocrats have yet done, and that is say
ing something, for their behavior since
the election has been remarkably I'M
like the traditional Democratic be-
havior in the face of opportunity
This is true, and few persons are
beginning to think that the TWO parties
have changed places, so to speak. The
Republicans are fighting and dis
aggree like old-time Democrats, while
the latter are working together har-
moniously like old time republicans. On
the reciprocity agreement the Repub-
licans in the House divided into practi-
cally even halves and their speeches
were as contrary and contradictory as
their votes.
The Democrats. as Harper's Weekly
remarks, have found getting together
a hard lesson to learn, and they have
been a long time in mastering it, but il
appears they have at last aquired wis
dom along lines that make for cohesion
and action of the right kind. Democra--
ic solidity is all that is necessary 10
place the party in the strongest of po-
sitions and to make more complete the
division of the Republicans.

Christian Science MonitorD
That God rules in the affairs of men
is as certain as any truth of physical
science. On the great moving power,
which is from the beginning, hangs the
world of the senses and the world OF
thought and action Eternal wisdom
marshals the great procession Of the
nations, working in patient continuity
through the ages, never hating and
never abrupt, encompassing all events
in its oversight, and ever effecting its
will, though mortals may slumber in
apathy or oppose with madness. Kings
are lifted up or thrown down, nations
come and go, republics flourish and
Wither, dynasties pass away like tale
that is told but nothingisbychanCe
though, men in their ignorance Of
causes may think so. The deeds of time
are governed, as well as judged, by the
DEGREES of eternity. The caprice Of
fieeting existences bends to the i'm
movable omnipotence which plants its
foot on all the centuries and has Meth
er change of purpose nor repose. Some
times, like a messenger through the
thick darkness of night, it steps along
mysterious ways; but when the hour
strikes for a people, or for mankind,
to pass into a new form of being, I'M
seen hands draw the bolts from the
gates of futurity; an all-subduing in
fiuence prepares the minds of men for
the coming revolution; those who plan
resistance find themselves in conflict
with the will of Providence rather than
with human devices; and all hearts
and all understandings, most of all the
opinions and influences of the unwil-
ling, are wonderfully attracted and
compelled to bear forward the change,
which becomes more an obedience to
the law Of universal nature than sub
mission to the arbitrament of man.

%+%% = 4 = = \ = = = 4
1t is the opinion of Charles A. Eli
wood, professor of sociology in the
University of Missouri, after a careful
investigation of the divorce question
that before the end of this century one
out of every two marriages will result
in a divorce. His opinion is based on
the ratio of increase that has already
been shown In 1885 the courts of this
country granted $4,000 divorces as
against $4,000 for all the rest of the
world, and in 1906 the American courts
granted 10000 as against 10000 for
all other countries. Therefore in forty
years the ratio increase in divorces
has been three times as great as the
ratio increase in population.
Statistics are presented showing that
at this time the ratio of divorce and
marriage is to y in the United
States, 1 to % in France, to 40 IN
Germany and / to 400 in England. In
Missouri one divorce is granted to ev-
cry eight marriages, in the state OF
Washington one to every four mar
riages, in Colorado and Montana the
ratio is one to five. In Texas, Okla
homa and Indiana it is one to six With
these figures before him it is not sur
prising that Professor Ellwood pre-
diets deplorable conditions in this
country unless something is done TO
preserve the family ties.
Free divorce" he says, "is just the
same as free love. 1t is just swapping
of families, and the free love advocates
are more dangerous to society than
are anarchists
81 believe the family is in a period
of transition in America. l believe We
are passing from the old to a new and
higher type of family-a family ii
which there won't be coercion, or auth

will be ethical, will be democratic. Tho
equal rights of every member will bt
regarded and preserved. In this tn,
child will be taken more into consid
eiation than it is now The family o

But is there any reason to hope tina
VIC will pass from the old to higher
type of family" if divorce continues t
be what it seems to be now, an Amerl
can institution. We are told that more
natiye-born Americans get divorces
than foreigners or internationa
couples, and more childlass familic.
obtain them than families with chill.
dren, and more city residents are d.
vorced than rural residents. Thought.
full men realize that the divorce ques-
ton is becoming one of the most seri-
GUS in the country, but it is to be hop
ed that studies such as those of Pro-
fessor Ellwood will help in the solu-
ton of the problem, and the suppress
sion OF great evil.

hugh Jennings Applies Connie Maok's
Method to Gamer.

Del Gamer is undergoing the same
treatment that Connie Mack applied
to Amos Strunk.
Connie Mack shocked the baseball
world last autumn when he announced
that he would play Strunk i'm the out
field and have the school boy lead off
the Athletics batting order In the
world series.
The plan of Mack was all the more
surprising when the fact that Strunk
had not been playing regularly during
the season was taken into considera-
ton.
An intimate friend of Comics was
asked why he made this radical switch
In the lineup.
Because he has faith in Strunk and
believes that IL he'll give the boy the
chance of his lifetime he'll make good.
So Mack gave Strunk the chance of
his lifetime. allowed him to play and
lead of In four of the five games and Is
playing him again this year.
Hughey took Gamer and placed him
on first without opposition. He let Gal
ner believe that the job was his and he
had nothing to do but play his best
game. Gamer is Of a nature easily

al battle at Santiago, on March % on
lower Chesapeake Bay The de5truc-
ton of this ship has been the subject
of much discussion of late and was one
of the most interesting tests of the
accuracy of the aim or American gum

lures are complete in every detail and
give the spectator a good idea of how

Of sinking a ship. There is no doubt
that the program will be one of ex-
ceptional interest
