Is Celibacy the Remedy?

A New England correspondent of the
Churchman makes urgent appeal for
"celibate priests as one solution OF
the church's present weakness and in
efficiency. He says in part:

almost a corporate paralysis of the
American church on everything except

Lord is the crying need of our holy

CATLIN AND STEPHENSON.

Congressman Catlin Of St. Louis will probably
lose his seat because $4,000 was spent to secure
his election. The House Elections Committee thinks
it was too much; anyhow, Missouris law forbds use
of so much money.
Good dea When Congressman spends all
but $4,000 of his two-year salary getting elected,
there is suggestion that he is going to have to live
too closely for the scale of expenses in this town.
But it seems tough to fire Missouri man for
spending $4,000, while Wisconsin who ad-
mits spending 100000 getting nominated, to say
nothing of election expenses is handed a neatly
engrossed vindicaton of title to his seat.
Will not somebody reduce this thing to mathe-
matics, and answer this question:
If $4,000 is too much to pay for a seat in the
House, and $l07, 900 is a reasonable price to give
for one in the Senate what may be regarded as fair
maxma in both cases?
Then write the answer into law, and enforce
the law, and it would help some

Says That Here Is One Reason Why
the People Demand Recall.

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Newspaper report recently states that
prominent society woman of this city
has applied for an absolute divorce, and
that the judge has ordered the bin filed,
but has directed the specific charges
to be suppressed-put under lock and
key In TIE clerks office. Further, re-
ports explain that the Judge granted
this privilege In his discretion because
OF the social prominence of the parties"
1t Is conceded that Judges, to be just,
beyond the strict letter of the law.
Also, as a rule, 1t is well, we think, or
better far that such cases as divorce
suits be heard in chambers or by
commissioner In chancery, and passed
upon without publishing the details
But that Is not the law in this juris-
diction, and that has not been the prac-
tice.
But what invites particular attention
to this case is the evident reason influ-
encing his honor-"because of the social
prominence OF the parties" Why
should not any one having need to ap-
peal to the court to redress a wrong,
however poor or unknown socially.
have the same considerate treatment?
We know most cases are served in
supersensational fashion 10 feed morbid
minds. reckless of the feelings of the
injured to go to the court for protection.
This seems to be a case OF respect
Of persons" a thing hard to believe of
such a fair-minded judge. And yet is
II not just such apparent or real dis
elimination as this that has aroused the
people TO demand the right to recall
the Judge who forgets his office as
judge?-to show consideration for those

show the untortunates. with fewer

THE MICHIGAN PROGRESSIVE PRO-
NOUNCEMENT.

There were about thousand delegates at the
Michigan convention in Jackson yesterday under
the oaks where the Republican party was founded
and christened. They decided that there was only
thing to do in the present exgency, and that was
to form new party throughout, to nominate State
and local tickets from top bottom, and to cut loose
once and for all from all old political affiliations.
That is just what was done by the Jackson con-
vention of l854-and the work there begun saved a
nation
There was contention between the more or less
practical" politicians who wanted to be as inde-
pendent as possible without giving up all afhliaton
with the old parties; but word from Oyster Bay
that the leader of the movement hoped for COM
plete independent movement, and this settled the
matter. The unanmity and the enthusiasm which
marked the proceedings after the important deci-
sion had been made, suggests strongly that the con-
servative and hesitant minority had taken counsel
Of their fears rather than their honest judgment
and that, when vigorous leadership sounded the call
to war; not skrmsh, there was readiness for the
forward movement.
Michigan will be followed by long series of the
States in the fortnight between the present and the
opening of the national convention in Chicago Wher
the Chicago meeting is called to order it will be II

DOES WILSON STAND ON THIS ?

We believe in the preservation and maintenance in
their full strength and integrity of the three ordinate
branches of the Federal Government the executive the
legislative and the judicial each keeping within it's
either of the others-Democratic National Platform
This plank virtually pledges Governor Wilson,
in event of his election, to keep his hands off the
legislative branch of government. 1t cannot mean
anything else if it is to mean anything at ALL
Whatever strength Governor Wilson has among
the people is directly due to his utter disregard OF
the theory that the executive has no right to en-
croach upon the prerogatves Of the legislative
branch of government 1t is because DR.. Wilson, as
governor of New Jersey, has not only exercised the
functions of the executive in enforcing laws passed
by the legislature but has used every force within
his power to compel the legislative branch of the

The Pennsylvania railroad is considering the
