MINISTER SAVES BIBLE

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Rev. Al:
len L. Benner marshaled a class OF
boys and girls safely from his burning
church In Richmond Hill yesterday,
then plunged back into the smoke and
flames to save the pulpit Bible, the altar
cloths and other sacred articles. He
Was dragged out OF the building by
bremen, still struggling to be allowed to
get more treasures. The church, 81,

and names drove him back for a mo-

Fought his way to a door which led to
the church yard. The draught created
when he threw this ajar held back the
hames for a few minutes.
When DIR. Benner returned to the

wonders why its cities wax big,
beautiful, and attractive, while as a
whole the commonwealth Of Aus
tralia fails to develop. The reason
Is plain. Australia has a taste for
doing other things than those that
the world wants II and needs 1t to
do. Argentina is getting a Ike
taste. Canada is not without its
cosmopolitan flavor; and in our own
country, tenant farming Is vastly
on the increase, indicating that the
proprietors are being lured away TO
the towns and villages. It Is all
very regrettable; II makes the price
Of butter, eggs, meat, leather, milk,
-four and all the table necessaries
and agricultural staples high. But
SO long as people can get more sat
isfaction in living in the town, they
are going to live there. Back TO
the land is a fine slogan; but 80
long as the land Is kept away from
the man who really wants 1t, and
the town provides superior amuse-
ment, why, folks are going to elbow
their way into the town, live the
artificial life, and wonder why it's
so hard to make ends meet doing It.

A NEW DIVORCE EMPORIUM

Arizona, IL Is reported, aspires to
ret q share Of the tourist-divorce
trafic. It is proposed to fix over the
<constitution-it will be recalled
without difficulty that when u was
adopted that Arizona constitution
was the most modern, radical, amend
able, and amenable constitution in
sxistence-so as to permit citizen
ship to be secured in six months,
and establishing q wide range OF
grounds on which it will be granted.
The good, old plea Of Cruelty" just
plain cruelty, which may be mental
or physical, psychic, or physiologic,
win be included In the list. The
hotel men Of the Arizona towns are
all reported strong for the new
measure.
Somehow we guess that the re-
ports Of this new enterprise are, like
the story Of Mark Twain's death,
greatly exaggerated. The women
vote in Arizona, and the woman
vote has never been in favor Of lax
divorce laws. There is more proba-
bility that, If the issue is seriously
raised, a lot Of politicians will be put
out Of business by dint Of their alli-
ance with the hotelkeepers and the
easy-divorce movement.

EnR NEW STREET CAR RULES

Unless the public takes enough in
terest in the matter to help make
the new street car rules mean some
thing, they will mean nothing. There
is no rule that prevents the people
crowding a car if they will continue
to climb on after it is filled. II they
will stay off the crowded car, the
rules require that they be given
room enough to be comfortable, in
another car; and il there are not
cars enough running, in the rush
hours, to provide everybody with a
seat or seven feet Of standing room
then, and only then. will the rules
have been violated.
II Is, at last, up to the public.
There's no use grumbling about bad
car service, and then jumping aboard
Q chr packed like a sardine box.
About one person in a score is really
willing to let the first car pass him,
In order to get a seat. Yet under
the new rule, If people will but let
the crowded car pass and wait for a
comfortable one, they will be taken
care of. Moreover, they will not be
delayed; for the business Of taking
on and off passengers, in the rush
period, is greatly complicated and
delayed by crowding the cars.
The new car service rules are cal.
culated to give the public good serv-
ice If the public seriously wants it
II people get more satisfaction out
Of hanging to straps and grumbling
they will be able to extract just that
satisfaction underthis regime. If they
viii cooperate to the extent Of max.
ing It possible to spread the rush
hour traffic over a sufficient period tc
determine just how many cars ar,
necessary to provide comfortable &C
commodations, the rule will compe
that the cars be put on.

WHY SOME THINGS ARE COSTLY

II there had not been a war, or
a huge production of gold, or au-
tomobiles, or moving pictures, or
wireless telegraphy, or any of the
marvels of this particular decade,
some things would have been ex-
pensive. The war and the gold sup
ply and the general tendency to re-
gard as necessaries many things
that would have been Injuries
few years ago, have had their ef-
feet. But there are other causes.
Take leather. Russia bought
nine million dollars worth Of 1t in
one order in this country; said to
= be the biggest leather order ever
placed. The reason for a world
wide scarcity of leather underlies
the war. Leather was getting
scarce before the war was dreamed
Of. People who studied the figures
published by our Department of
Agriculture knew the crisis had to
come. The world was not raising
animals enough to provide it with
leather. Neither was it producing
enough sheep to maintain the sup
ply Of wool. These are two great
staples. The war has accentuated
and compelled attention to the con,
ditions that involve them; but those
conditions existed before there wa.
q war.
Leather and wool are intimately
related. Australia, alone, coulc
have guarded the world against an!
early shortage of these articles, i,
only Australia had been willing I,
stick at the production Of sheep ant
cattle. But it wasn't. Australia i
a. big as the United States, ant
has about per cent as many people
They are peculiarly afflicted wit
the desire to live in town. Austral
