THE THIRD PARTY EFFORT.

VIII the attempt to form thlrQ
party be successful? Will the plans
that had their origin in heated con-
ed third term candidate exert enough
influence to start new party that will
in any way prove formidable? Is the
time ripe for such a radical action, or
is there any need for it? Such are
the questions Mr.. Roosevelt's disap-
pointed followers must answer for
themselves.
10 many people sufficient reason will
be apparent why a negative answer
should be given to all the above ques-
tions. In the first place, the failure
OF the effort seems apparent from the
fact that Roosevelt's willingness to
bolt the convention did not create a
stampede for him even among his own
followers. There is no doub: whatever
that Roosevelt would gladly accept
the nomination of boiling convention
ii that convention represented his fol-
lowing intact. Had Roosevelt's par
tisans decided on boiling, however, his
following would have been trimmed to
such small proportions by the loss of
delegates who loved not Roosevelt less
but to be regular Republicans more,
that the result would have been dis
astrous to his cause. The same oppo-
sition to party irrgularity will be a
severe set back to any attempt to form
third party.
Besides there is no real need for
such movement. If the Republican
party as now constituted Is reactionary
its candidate and its policies. The
Democratic party stands for all the
progressivism that Mr.. Roosevelt rep
resents and has stood for 1t before Mr..
Roosevelt, who now seems to think
that he is the only simon pure pro-
gressive ever took up the cudgels in its
behalf. The issue is not of such tant-
amount Importance as Mr.. Roosevelt
asserts it to be. Neither is 1t so new
as Mr.. Roosevelt would imply. 1t
seems startling strange that after Mr..
Roosevelt had welded the big stick for
seven years in fattening out bosses he
is now himself flattened out by mer-
! CHESS steam roller. Is it possible that
this magnificent machine (magnificent
| of course, from the point of view of
its perfect gears and pinions) could
have been modelled, nodded, machined
and set up in the short space Of four
years? Or has the terrible colonel
himself had hand in constructing the
fatal mechanical device? 1t Is unkind
to attribute any such unrighteous ac-
ton to man Of such professed virtue
as Theodore Roosevelt. But he that
follows the sword shall perish by the
sword and he that follows the steam
roller cannot complain If in the end
his own is a steam roller fate.
The time is not suspicious for q new
political party. At best the new or
ganization would represent only what
one of the old parties has represented
for years and continues to represent
now. The movement will, moreover, be

Professionalism AND DIVORCE.

Protestant clergyman, Rev. Fran
els M. Moody, field secretary of the
California state commission of mar
riage and divorce, is authority for the
statement that there have been 1OO,-
600 divorces granted in the United
States in the past year. THAT is, )"
his statement continues, "seven times
as many as was granted in Europe.
Divorces since 1870 have increased
three and one-half times as rapidly
as the population" This Protestant
clergyman recognizes the magnitude of
the threatening danger. He realizes
that unless Protestant churches take
concerted action in restraining the
evil, disaster to Professionalism will be
inevitable. To solve the problem he
thinks that ministers ought to exercise
caution in complying with request to
perform marriage ceremony. He
writes:
Preachers should not accept the
word of stranger seeking to be
married. No bank will cash SIS
check for a stranger, but will require
Identification, yet preachers will mar
~ strangers, provided they have Ii
cense."
All Catholics will agree with the
contention of this reverend gentleman.
But they will further agree that all
efforts to restrain divorce among Pro-
testants will be futile until the
churches take an absolute stand
against it. No halfway measure will
suffice. Only strict adherence to the
memorable law enunciated by our Dr.
vine Lord will be able to effectually
tagion.
Professionalism rests largely on the
false principle that the line of least re-
sistance is the best road to follow.
Making attendance at church on Sun
day simple matter of choice, making
religion itself so elastic that there is
practically no restraint, allowing the
dissolution of marriage on the slight
est pretexts and sanctioning re-mar-
riage Of divorced persons have all con-
tributed to the disintegration of the
sects The bars have been thrown
aside and the tlocks allowed to wander
at will. The mistake is beginning to
be noticed as the pastures are being
emptied of their herds. Something
must be done to round up the wander
ing sheep. What can be done? That
is the question that the followers of
Luther and Henry VIII are now trying
to solve. Those reformcrs won friends
by their advocacy of individual liberty,
by removing the only effective re-
straints to sensuality. They won
friends by opening the door to an in
finite amount of trouble. But the
trouble was distant The followers
of Luther and Henry VIII see it now
1t has grown to such proportions that
they cannot see anything else.

MILLIONS THAT SMALL

City rradssmsN Made Wealthy BY
the Money Sent In BY Country
Purchaser.

1t u 4 recognised fact that the retail
business Of the country villages and
the large towns. for that matter. is In
serious danger. Year By year the once
prosperous merchants are being forced
to the wall-driven out by the mail Or
der business. And this Il taking place
IN face of the fact that the population
and purchasing power Of the country
districts are ever on the increase.
What Is the matterf
The mail order houses are drawing
the cash retail trade from its natural
channels to the cities.
The growth Of this octopus has been
phenomenal. From q jeliylike idea
without form-an experiment. fifteen
year, ago, 1t has grown to proportions
that threaten the determination Of the
retail country merchant.
Thousands Of people every week send
In their hard earned cash to some mail
order house in payment for goods that
could have been bought cheaper at
their home store.
Why do they do IT. 1t is owing
partially to the desire of the average
person to be humbugged and partially
to the effect Of persistent advertising.
The mail order house sends out its at
tractive literature to every family in
the country. In this literature. COM

All of these millions come out Of the
legitimate trade Of the country mer-
chant. the man who has invested his
capital. built himself Il home and been
active in building up the town, with
the expectation that he would be al
lowed to do u legitimate business in IA
legitimate way. He is entitled to the
trade of his town and the country
adjacent. He pays his taxes and con-
tributes to the support OF the commu-
nifty. That community owes him re-
ciprocal duty-the duty to give him the
preference Of trade, everything else be-
Ing equal. This is the theory of all
organized civilized communities, begin
ming with the family and going on up
through every organization to that Of
the state. Home protection from for
eign robbers is the first duty of every
good citizen.
