' The unalterable opposition of the Roman Church to the remarriage of the divorced is shown anew by the Teqommendation of Cardinal Gibbons to Catholic women | “neither to invite married divorced people to their! a social functions nor to accept any invitation to them to attend theirs.” Such a proscription by Protestant society would raise | $ @ ban against the divorced which, while making them] «© less eager to seek the court's relief from sufferings often | j yy exaggerated, would make them hesitate to incur the stig- HB a ma of social ostracism by entering into the new union) > J oP AG =S to which a society divorce is so often the preliminary. | What it is not certain that legislative enactment could effect might be accomplished very readily by the erec- Gecree marriages. Of recent years the question of divorce in all its phases has been widely discussed and almost yearly with chine-like output of divorce-#minute decrees by com- Plaisant courts and the free-and-easy assumption of ; matrimonial bonds with the idea that they will be loosed "by the law as the whim moves, haé pointed to a disre- Bs gard of the sanctity of the marriage obligation which e has both shocked and angered the sober public. It is probable that the Protestant world will have a strong pronouncement on the divorce evil by the annual convention of the Episcopal Church, which will begin “ its sessions at Pittsburg on Nov. 3. a ‘Two cases of exceptional interest which are likely to influence dhe convention's attitude are the marriage of the Rev. George F. Kettell, formerly of Baltimore, to a divorcee, and the act of the Rev. Quincy Ewing, of Greenville, Miss., in officiating at the ‘marriage of the Rey. Charles Morris, who had a divorced wife living. In the discussion Bishops Potter,; Whitehead and Vinton are expected to make addreases opposing the remarriage of divorced pereons.

An interesting indorsement of ‘ the views here advanced, as far as regards trust com- panies, is furnished in a paper read at the Bankers’ Con- vention by Philip 8S.

Was not the offer for public Purchase of the depreciated securities of the Shipbuild- {ng Company sufficient in itself to serve as a corrective of any existing loose practices of this sort? If as a result of the Dresser disclosures there ensues accountability of trust companies to their clie} in recommending investments the lesson, expen- a sive it has been, will have been worth the price, \ POKER AND POLICE ESPIONAGE. _ “Magistrate Breen’s discharge of prisoners arrested for taking part in a restaurant poker game {s on the theory 4 that the statute against gambling ts not designed to . cover what may be designated as private gambling. Such police espionage, said the Magistrate, “if car- ried to its logical conclusion, would affect not only every social club but many private homes where the pastime of playing cards is often conducted as an innocent “a amusement, and into the circle of which a police officer 4 may be admitted under the guise of a friend or guest.” The Saturday night poker party is an institution ‘which officious departmental zeal must and shall not seek to upset, and the Magistrate's ruling will receive r popular approval, Suppose this “police officer in the 4 guise of a guest” should betray a social circle where ane N of the miniature roulette wheels on sale at any toy store was in operation! Magistrate Breen’s is the second magisterial ruling witain a week on “police espionage,” the other concern- Bris ing undue vigilance in the arrest of saloon-keepers 4 shown to be only technically violating the law by the i. margin of a tuute over closing time. Such decisions are on right lines. It is one thing to suppress obnoxious lawbreaking and quite another to bring the law into contempt by misdirected zeal. THE MAGIC TOUCH. There is a little band-box of a play-house in Forty- fourth street in which several persons who aspired to be theatrical managers have tempted fortune with disas- trous results, The public came, saw, criticised and went @way not to come again. It was disposed to oblige, but the incentive was not offered jt. Now after half a dozen failures the tiny theatre re- opens under the direction of a professional manager, the public comes once more, is pleased, promises to return, nd the house at last is a success, ‘It is all in the knowing how, and how simple that _ Kuowledge is seen to be when analyzed!
