Senator Munroe of Providence,
has started a ball rolling that ought
to be kept rolling. To get the
states convicts out of the jalls and
put them to producing something,
rather than to consume everything
in their reach, is a thing to be de-
sired. It will be money in our
pockets to have a lot OF producers
rather than only consumers under
the protection OF the state as her en-
forced gueSts,-Westerly Sun.

The Republicans OF Massachu-
sets Legislature have elected Con.
gresham John Weeks to the office
of United States Senator, in place Of
w. Murray Crane. He is a most
pronounced " stand patter," and
with the considerable dissatisfaction
of that kind OF politics that exists in
the Bay State, it would seem that
the selection of Congressman Weeks
is far from wise.

Deputy Sheriff Cramer Badly
Used Up.

Deputy Sheriff Robert Cramer was
given quite beating by number of
women at the home of Guy Smith, near
Evansville, where he went upon orders of
creditors. Smith was holding a sale of
his personal property. Mr. Smith some
time ago gave bill OF sale to Frank L.
Stoner for 500, and other creditors were
the Farmers Supply Co.. and !. X. ID.
Williams, who were owed about $3.50.
The understanding was that the proceeds
OF the sale were to be paid by Smith to
third person, and applied to his debts.
The creditors asked that Deputy Cra-
mer go to Evansville and have MIR Smith
sign all agreement to this effect Mr.
Smith signed it, but later became very
abusive and finally struck several blows
at Mr. Cramer. After time Mr. Cra-
mer struck him and knocked him through
doorway.
The ladies of the house numbering IL,
took up the fight and handled the deputy
roughly. They BACKED his eve and badly
bruised him. The deputy beng an ad-
mirer Of the fair sex took the beating un-
til rescued by a number ot bystanders.
and would not resent the insult No ar
rests were made, Bob being a candidate
for Sheriff will now surely receive sulfra-
gette influence.

Rev, Father Kane on the Divorce
Evil.

The Rector OF Saint Johu's Catholic
Church, on East Second street. this CITY
on Sunday last, March 3oth in the
course of his sermon on the sixth precept
Of the church. demonstrated the sad con
dition of the divorce court in this
( county and the country at large. The
sermon was carefully prepared and he
| then announced the figures. showing one
divorce application to every seven license
applications in our clerks Office, being
the worst statistics OF any place in the
United States.
He stated that marriage was a most
ancient institution and sacred contract
and ordained and witnessed by God in
the Garden of Eden, and is the uniting
for life OF one man and one woman. He
then traced marriage from lis beginning
on down through the wears and down TO
| the time when the men deviated from the
path of righteousness and began to prac-
| tce polygamv. Christ then cane as a
social and moral reiormer and re-estab-
! lished marriage as il was founded in the
Garden OF Paradise Besides the mar
riage contract all other contracts fails.
! The marriage contract is iudissoluble.
The greatest stigma of the American
nation today is the divorce evil and &C.
Cording TO siatisuccS the United States
now stands in sorrowul contrast to the
other Christian nations Ii is 4 sad spec
tacle that our Legislatures are composed
of protesting Christians. who engage in
the making of laws permitting divorce.
The rector then stated that it was
high time that the moralsts found
throughout the country fighting the
liquor traffic, and political corruption.
should attack divorce. Up to this time
he stated that they had been as blind to
this most unspeakable evil. In permit
ting divore, this county, and this coun-
try stand in open defiance to the will of
God, said the speaker
Father Kane then stated that one
reason why divorce is so frequently ap
piled for, is because of the haste in
couples marrying. They fail to consider
the responsibilities and the obligations
OF married life. Many women who enter
the married state are in utter ignorance
OF its responsibilities such as domestic
science. management of households, etc.
Another reason he said why there IS
such a frequency of applications for
divorces is also found in couples living
beyond their incomes. If man Is max
ing from SIP TO SIS per week, too often
this family wants to live on a plane of |
the man making $40 or $50.
In selecting husband Young woman |
should be careful TO investigate his char |
aceristics, disposition, etc If he is con. |
stiutionally lazy or addicted to intem-
perance i'll drink, she should not think |
that she will be able to correct and re-
form him for she will not be able 10 do |
1t. Those contemplating matrimony |
should take time and consider their |
prospective mate as one considers a bus
mess partner.
He closed by saving that the Church |
has always stood for th- indissolubility |
OF the marriage contract, and its sacred !
ness. There are a number of thinkers |
throughout the entire country who are
now considering with alarm the growth |
OF divorce, as 1t strikes at the very foun- |
tain source of society in the family.
