A FRANK CANDIDATE.

All honor to Judge Lawrence Y

and election as United States senator
from Illinois. Instead Of claiming that
he has been forced into the contest by
his friends or that crisis In the af-
fairs of state Or nation has made it
necessary for him to become candi-
date, he frankly admits that he is in
the field on his own motion and that
his reason is selfish one In begin
ming an address in an Illinois city the

Judge Sherman has set a good ex

frankness. He tells the truth abou
his candidacy. a man who does tina

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

Rabbi Leon Harrison delivered q
lecture on Marriage and Divorce In St
Louis last Saturday evening He gave
as causes of divorce the growing lnae-
incidence of women as bread winners,
desertion and neglect OF husnanos'
and a growing liberty in America IN
the feeling that the people make the
Ilaws and can consequently I'M
make them. AS remedies for
divorce DR.. Harrison said mar
rage should be made more
difficult By requiring an announce
ment of the approaching marriage
three weeks or more in advance, and
divorce should be made more difficult
by abolishing laws and demanding
Istricter judges and officials.
Throughout the talk DR.. Harrison
emphasized the sacredness of the
obligation of matrimony. Being sa
e-ed. the marriage ceremony should b'
performed only in the church, he said
Or. Harrison condemned the practic'
Eof allowing justices of the peace 7

A Judge Who Dared More Than Sol

Cedar Rapids Republican: Tseo-
dore Roosevelt has sometimes made
fetish of courage. He has affected
to be great admirer OF manly nerve,
especially on the field of battle and in
the saddle on the plains. He has
shown some OF that kind Of courage
himself and so it may be assumed that
his admiration is sincere.
But we want to call his attention TO
another kind of courage, a higher and
a nobler courage and infinitely more
important to the progress Of the world
along It's higher lines.
