The Columbian says editorially !:
when the devil was sick the
devil saint would be; when the
devil got we'll devil a saint was
he" This old saying occurred
to us on reading the other day
Signor Nitti's tribute to Italian
Catholics. When Italy was pros
porous she fouted and insulted
the Pope, suppressed monasteries
and nunneries, ruthlessly confis-
Gated religious property, des-
troyed ancient churches to make
way for the gigantic monstrosity
in marble and stone which she
erected in Rome to the memory of
Victor Emmanuel. But now that
she is on the rocks, nothing is too
good for her to say of the Church
and Catholics, whose support she
so urgently requires to withstand
the onslaught Of the victorious
Socialists.

BROKEN HOMES.

At this time of the year it is
customary to analyze statistics OF
the various branches Of govern
ment. Thus, in the matter OF
divorce, it is painfully interesting
to learn that America still retains
the leadership among all white
peoples in regard to the number
of divorces granted yearly. Japan
leads the world, with America a
close second.
The figures for marriages and
divorces, submitted by the author
tiles Of Ramsey and Of Hennepin
counties, for the past two years,
bear out this contention in the
local field. According to the
statistics, during the past two
years in these counties, there has
been an average of one divorce
for every 6.5 marriages. For
merly the ratio was one in ten
now it has nearly doubled.
When one considers all that has
been written and said about the
sanctity of the home, all the legis-
lation enacted to throw safe
guards around the domestic
hearth, the laws for the protec.
ton of children, the blood shed
to uphold the inviolability of the
family circle, it surely sounds like
a parody to speak Of the sacred
nature of matrimony, and in the
same breath to admit that about
one home in every six or sever
defes and laughs at that sacrec
bond with the world Of Christian
tradition surrounding it.
What is even more deplorablt
and tragic is the sober truth thai
so-called respectable people looE
upon the marriage VOW i'll abou'
the same light as promise tt
keep a dinner engagement, as al
English jurist phrased it some
time ago. The marriage contrac
has become Of less consequence
far less, than a contract to bullC
a barn, to pave street, to furnish
a certain line Of goods. Its char
acter and stability and point 0:
honor are looked upon as OF fa1
less value than that involved in ;
promissory note. The awfulnes;
Of the tragedy Of broken homes
is somewhat lessened by the fac
that such unions seldom produce
many children; the few unfortul
nate little ones are left to g
through life with blasted ideas O.
parental affection and sanctity O.
the home. Nor is it difficult to SCI
what will be the result in thel1
own lives later on. Morality be
comes mere convention or propri
ETY.; certain things are viewed a
evil only when detected, while
divine commands in the matter O.
virtue and of vice are cast asid
as superstition.
The country at large is tryin!
to grapple with the housing prob
lem: the home problem goes beg
ging in vain for solution.

It should be a matter Of national

1t should be matter of national
pride with us to see this project
through to completion. The
Church in America needs just such
an opportunity to give expression
to it's stalwart faith and it's appre-
citation Of the value Of such a cen
ter Of worship. America hates
second place in anything, and
surely this occasion to approach
at least to the grandeur of foreign
cities in the matter Of wondrous
shrines Of religion will not be neg
lected.

The great American govern
ment indoor sport is investiga-

fully constituted authorities than
commission is appointed to in

fering for the time being, but it
seldom means redress. 1t would
be interesting to know just how
many investigating committees
have been appointed in this coun-
try during the past ten years, and
just what they have accomplished.
The thought of the next election
usually is too strong to be super
seeded by a mere question of high
prices or such trivialities. /,

and figures which go to show that, in
the opinion of the survey, the order
has been a complete failure and that
there has been decrease rather
than an increase in the amount of
coal sent to New England ports.
The Interstate Commerce commits
sion's order was intended to curtail
fuel exports sufficiently to meet the
requirements of 100000 tons a month,
estimated to be the minimum neces-
sary to satisfy New England's needs
during the winter. The geological
survey alleges that this minimum has
not been met during the first two
weeks the priority order has been in
effect and at the same time exports
from Hampton Roads have been
steadily gaining.
Among the reasons for the non
operation of the order it is beginning
to appear that the West Virginia coal
operators are involved in an ar
rangement to defeat it deliberately.
1t has been conclusively proven that
coal exports have increased and since
that time the operators association
is said to have been busy trying to
clear itself by repudiating speculation
of which certain of it's own members
are admittedly guilty.
The operators allege that if any
increase in export can be found, it is
due to slowness of New Englanders
in pla cing orders-which may or may
not be SO, of course. However it is,
buyers were urged to make careful
estimates of their needs and not to
order too heavily and increase the
anxiety already existing over the fuel
situation. At the same time they
were told that increasing production
would undoubtedly tend to lower the
price and this fact has had some
thing to do with the alleged con-
servatism of the purchasers.
In concrete terms the data from
HHampton Roads shows the change
for the worse which has taken place
in a month, as follows: For the week
ending July TO-. coastwise coal ship
ments to New England amounted to
149, 900 net tons and EXPORTS amount |
ed to '295,o0O net tons, that is. diff
ference of 146,ooo tons in favor of
foreign markets. That was bad
but for the week ending Au- !
gust Z shipments to New England
had gone down to $4,000 tons, net. !
while exports had risen to $4,000
tons. revealing a disparity of 10000
tons between the receipts of the New
England market and those abroad.
The facts speak for themselves

by the Bureau did not change in July
as compared with June.
The average family expenditure for
90 articles of food increased from
June Is to July Is in 80 cities and de-
creased in II cities from which
monthly prices are secured.
Comparing the figures of July. 1920,
with those of Identical establishments

the number Of persons employed,
while in there was a decrease. The
largest increase, 1928 per cent. is
shown in mems ready-made cloth
ing. while paper making and cigar
manufacturing show percentage in
creases of 1876 and 90, respectively.
Decreases of 55.5 per cent in wooden
and 81 per cent in boots and shoes
are shown.
Now the above from one of the
Government departments does not
bear out some Of the statements made
by Candidate Cox, who is stating
that the demand for foodstuff ex-
ceeds the supply; that Europe has
been compelled to buy because it is
not producing. 1t would seem fitting
that Mr.. Cox should inform himself.
He need not go far. even if he dis
trusts the Governments statistics.
He should know that large quantities
of food are held in cold storage: he
should know that by reason of the
rate of exchange, which now is af-
fording the European countries a
protection beyond the dreams of an
American tariff, in that it encourages
the utmost effort for home produc-
ton, Europe is supplying herself
with that which she formerly bought
of US, in consequence of which our
exports have dropped off largely. In
deed, should this process continue
not only will the price of food drop
but likewise the prices of manufac-
tured goods against which this coun-
try is not adequately protected and is
not likely to be by Democratic adj

owing to the fact that they perform
a sort Of terminal service for the big
trunk lines operating west of the
Hudson river-have had to make
relatively large property invest
ments: and to earn a fair return on
this big investment rates here would
have to be much higher than in
other sections of the country. As
New England industry could not
stand this differential in rates the
railroads here had to accept the same
increase as other roads in the East.
AS the situation stands at present,
the railroads here will hardly be able
to restore their credit and thus raise
the funds necessary for their proper
expansion. 1t may be commended with
a fair show of reason that in the
case OF the New Haven a previous
extravagaht management is largely
responsible for the excessive invest
mcnt and the consequent small re-
turn now being shown on this invest
ment. But this certainly does not
apply to the Boston & Maine. which
has also been badly crippled; or TO
the Maine Central, which now finds
itself likely to be unable to pay. a
1alr return on an honest investment.
To correct this situation the New
England roads are seeking a larger
proportion of the revenue from
business. The Interstate
commerce. Commission has admitted
That they are entitled to a higher
percentage of the joint rates, but as
yet the lines here are apparently de-
pendent upon the willingness of tn,
trunk hire to make a fairer division.
New England business men, even if
not directly interested in the rail
roads, should for their own sake CO.
operate with the railroad manage
ment in their attempt to get a larger
proportion of this revenue so that
the roads may be properly developed
to give satisfactory service.

Nothing has been more refreshing

of those groups whose purpose is to
take unto themselves what other men
have earned.
The variegated Socialists. the

vocates of bolshevism-what lot of
threats they uttered toward their
American opponents.
They were going to beat Henry AL
len because he prevented the lawless
mining crowd in Kansas from freez-
ing the people of his state. But AL
len was renominated by the majority
that his fine courage deserved.
They were going to beat Senator
Cummins of Iowa, one of the authors
of the new railroad law, because he
oppc-cd the Plumb Plan, that scheme
which has not even the virtues of
communism in that it would confis
cate in favor of group rather than
a people. But Cummins has been
renominated and probably will be re-
elected, as his service merits.

sentative Thetus Sims of Tennessee
went back to the House to continue
his activities in behalf of the Plumb
Plan, of which he was the sponsor at
