PENNSYLVANIA DIVORCE
LAW

Pittsburg millionaires who have
tired Of their domestic relations
will not have to journey to Reno
to have the ties severed. After
the establishment of a virtually
fictitious residence, person mar
ried outside Of the State can Sc
cure a divorce without personal
service on the respondent. The
"easy divorce law' was passed by
the 1913 legislature. There arc
certain features of the Pennsyl.
vania law which Nevada may
copy, probably must copy, ii Reno
it not to be eclipscd.
Fortunately, the Pennsylvania
statute is being tested and the
courts may nullify it. 1t is to be
hoped the law will be wiped off
the statute books.
A divorce is comparatively
easy to secure under existing
laws. TO dispense with all safe
guards, however, is an injustice
to the party who may be injured
by the proceedings. It is not SO
much the ease with which the d.
vorce is obtained, but the funda-
mental thing is to protect society
against subtcrfuge in such litiga.
ton.
Forces have been at work to
secure uniform divorce laws.
Their success has only been par
tjal. Each year, however, sees
the situation bettcred. This ma
ton would take a long step for
ward if each State had the same
laws governing divorce.

SEASONS LESSON

Youth sounds the depths of JOY
at this season of the var. Those
verses come tingling through oul
brain:
I'm Youth, eternal Youth!
I'm the sun rising, I'm poctsi,
singing =
l IN the new world. I'm Il little
bird that has broken out
of the egg. III
IN joy, joy, joy
Children yesterday caught a
glimpse of the Never, Never, Nov.
er Land. Their eyes danced and
youth, eternal youth bubbled ovel
in ecstatic joy.
No tragedy is more pathetic
than the empty stocking. 1t means
the destruction Of those castles in
the air reared for months by the
child's imagination. Thanks to
society. organized so perfectly to
administer cheer at this season OF
the year, few children were for.
gotten, few little hearts felt the
blight Of disappointment.
Love rejuvcnated today should
inspire us to carry cheer through
the coming year. The bounty OF
the present too often blinds us tc
the bitter struggle of thousands
who are too proud to speak. They
suffer in silence.
AS we recognize the sweetness
OF youth at this season more in.
tensely than ever, our sentiment
means little unless it shields and
protects the child, thousands OF
whom are bearing burdens thei,
bodies cannot stand. Out of the
Christmas season should come q
realization Of responsibility TO-
ward the less fortunate. It is a
good thing to give them boost
at this season Of the year, but the
helping hand should not vanish
with the tinscl, nor the well of
love cease to flow when the Yule
tide glamour fades away.

TINKER TO MANAGE
CUBS NEXT SEASON

Chicago. Dec. 25.---liogcr Hs"eslla-
hans status as u result OF tlc Gnu OF
the baseball war has caused much
gossip among the fans. They would
like to know what is to become or
him and whether Joe Tinker Will
make as good or better manager
Of the Cubs.
Bresnalan signed three-year con-
tract with the Cubs last year and 1t
has still two years more to run. It
is said to be an ironclad contract, at
$4,000 q season. AS it will not ex-
pirc until the end of 1917 Bresnalaii
has $4,000 coming 10 him.. Who Is
10 pay that is not known and wheth-
or nc will be paid is also unknown.
He is not a bit backward in assert
ing that he will get all that is CON-
ing to him. ....' .
Who is the better manager is not n
difficult question to answer at first
hand. Until Bresnahan Joined the
Cubs it was believed he was one Of
the smartest pilots in the game. be-
cause of his success, at St. Louis.
But when he assume1 the role of Cl'
rector of the Cubs he lost a great
deal of this prestige through failure
to give the West Side winner. tic
was not a success and came within
an acc of finishing at the bottom OF
the National league race.
Tinker is a genial companion on
the road, not only with his players.
but with everyone, with whom nc
comes in contact He is what is term
ed a, great mixer and never had any
difficulty in getting his men to obey
his orders on the field or play the
game to tie limit while in uniform.
He never held himself alOof from ilis
men, because he was only an ordl-
nary player once and remembers how
it felt to be friendly with the man.
ager who made a pal of his players.
This was something Eresnaban did
not do while manager of the Cubs.
He did not deliberately snub his play
ers, but did not seem to have any
time for them. The Cub players took
notice Of this and as a result were
not as satisfied as they might have
been. In addition. Bresnahan criti-
cized his players publicly more than
Tinker ever did, and this also had
discouraging effect OF them:
Which one is tle smarter man
when on the field of battle is harder
t. oanswer Both Tinker and ,Bresna-
had had schooling under two Of the
recognized star leaders of the game,
Frank Chance and John ;McGraw
They play different style Of game.
and from what Tinker achieved last
summer it looks as if his system, the
one used by the old Cubs, was tho
better. - g ""T!I-. -.

GIT is an optical Illusion that makes
 the task at hand seem common
 n place, the far off, significant" says Mr Edward Howard Griggs in his book, Self Culture Through the Vocation" and he adds: "The mountains near by appear rocks and stubble fields; in the distance they are clothed with blue beauty majes- tically outlined against the sky"
 Perhaps the most difficult of all things with people who have ideals. aspirations, artistic sense and sensitive feelings, is as they phrase it. to bring themselves down to mere commonplaces.
 If only-only-they would endeavor to raise those monotonous and familiar tasks into something idealistic and beau- tiful. but all they will permit themselves to see is that their way lies through stubblefields They hate the coarse dried grasses, the roots entangling the feet that tear the garments and bruise the tender flesh. The way seems long and often lonely. They rebel against the rocks that obstruct the path, the sun that burns, the rain that chills the distance to be traversed looms long and wearily ahead
 Not A few of their troubles arise from the fact that mentally they will not dress for mountain climbing. They will not and cannot adapt themselves to the life journey they are compelled to take. They go afoot, attired as if for travel in q Pullman car They like the luxurious environment of the touring car. Destined to walk, they wear the mental garb of the ease loving traveller.
 A mental attitude is really as impor- tant in relation to a life journey as suit able apparel is to the mountain climber

PLEA FOR THE ABOLITION
 OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

for they do their work in the heat of pas sion and not after the long, calm deliber- ation of legislature and jury and two or three courts"
 There is a movement to abolish this aw- ful stain on human society. and it can be accomplished through education. Like all reform, this, too, must come through orgs nized effort.
 A league has been formed in New York with officers and advisory board composed of men and women all over this country. It calls attention to the ne- cessity of interesting every one in the cause to enlist the neighbor and friend to join and secure the power of great numbers.
 In an invitat ton to join the Anti-Capital Punishment league we find these words:
 If you understand that hanging or electrocuting brutalizes public sentiment and cheaps life instead of safeguarding 1t;
 "Is you believe that in the twentieth cen- tury kindness. thought and science should replace the antique hangman in the treat ment of homicides; If for any reason or all these reasons or for a better one of your own, you are opposed to the dangerously suggestive
