THE QUESTION OF DIVORCE, Some comment has been mage ad- visedly upon the disturbing effects of the American laws relating to mar- riage, each state asserting its right to legislation upon 'the subject. Can- may eventually, and all too soon, have a similar experience, now that the privy council has confirmed the decision of the British Columbia court and to the effect that the pro- vinca can legislate with regard to marriage and divorce. There has never heen much difficulty in securing marriage. The way to un- ion of two person® in matrimony has been easy enough, much too easy in the opinion of some people. Those who are mestally and physically in- competent should not 'be allowed to wed, for the state's sake as well as their own, and sooner or later the representatives of the medical profes- sion upon the matter will have due weight. The church, too, has been a brake upon the marriage of divorced persons. It does not recognize the right of any one to divorce, Hig mari- tal relations may be very unforunate, and divorce may be the only way out of his trouble, yet the church holds that*whom God hath joined together Ro man can put asunder. There bas been but one way hereto- fore of procuring and it has been by an appeal to the senate. This legislative body is not consti- tuted specially for this work, but it has been the only institution to grant relief to those who have been unhap- pily yoked. The causes have been lim- ited. Only the grosser offences against the sanctity of the marriage vows have given warrant to the senators to decree, as they have, that the con- tracts entered into between men and women shall be ended. Rarely has a offered to the proceed- ada a divorce, defenco been ing. The cost of a divorce has keen so great that only the few have been able to indulge in it. This suggests that the percentage. of cases may be Ligher if the provingial court can dis pose Of .them for less money. The competenpy of this body being declared it will be resorted to the more, and it will deal with evidence ae the senate committee cannot be expected to do. The history of the next few years should pres:nt some interesting chap- ters upon the question of divorce, FARMERS MAKE DEMAND. The Weekly Sun's idea is that rail ways should not Le built unless there is an immediate prospect of making pay. "Not dollar of the or twenty in them one twelve millions voted subsidies to railways ought to have been granted by parliament," it re- "Wherever population, present is suffici a marks. perspective, construction of in sight is ample building without a im- or immediately ent to call for the line the revenue justification, fer Where there is no such should subsidy, mediate prospect no company be allowed to build on any terms."

The Sun uke for the farmers, but it is the farming section of the North- West's population that is most in- siftant upon railway extension. It is the same section that is making the commotion with regard 'to grain ele- vators and warehouses, that has im- pressed the western delegation to par- liament with the necessity of an ex- penditure of many mi'lione more, which, for the present, it is not com- mitted. sazacity of ------------ Alberta will have a re-distribution bill next year, and then an election. , Mr. Rutherford, having, attended the ter- centenary proceedings in Quebec is now visiting the scenes Its premier, of his earlier life in Eastern Ontario. SOME POLITICAL FENCING. The imperial consnons may reject the lords' amendments to the old age pension scheme. The lords may a sec ond time limit the application of the law to seven years. The amendment of the measure in any event would be a victory for..the lords. The upper chamber bas done an unconstitutional § thing in tampering with a money bill, but it will not be damaged by the indignation its act may provoke, The lower hquee wants to get the scheshe in operation, and it can af ford to bottle its feelings on the con- stitutional point. The teries do "pot oppose the bill, which is an evidence that they dare. not, that they are afraid of attacking it, and are simply putting hindrances 'in its way with- out noise and talk. Mr. Asquith is called a master in tactics, and he may be safely left to advise in this casé the course that is best. EDITORIAL NOTES, It is somewhat cooling to read of what Mr. Peary is going to do when he reaches the Arctic pole. This is decidedly the season for Arctic litera- to! ture. ---- It is' quite probable that British capital will assist in moving the Can- adian wheat crop. Quite proper.

It is that the federal election will be held in October. He is not recognized as a seer, but for the time being he is the opposition's man of mystery, Sixty million pounds a year war material is being spent each Germany and Great Britain. This is what Mr. Lloyd-George calls a "stu- pendous waste," and no other word fittingly describes the situation. by The Weekly Sun is syrprised that Mr. Mackenzie, of the Canadian North- ern railway, was not knighted.

A New Teacher Appointed to the High School. Newburgh, July 30.--Henry Beeman, this week, finished his boat, which he has been building in his spare mo- ments during the last year. The skiff is about eighteen feet long and the builder has reason to feel proud of his first venture in this line. Hon. A. B. Aylesworth, Ottawa, spent Sunday with his father, J. B. Aylesworth. Harold Ryan returned home, this week, from a short holiday. George Paul and Miss Annie Paul, Tamworth, spent Sunday at Mrs. Shorey's. A number from the 'burgh attended the employees' excursion to Tweed, on Wednesday. Miss McGee, Winnipeg, is visiting Mrs, Halves. Miss Lizzie Humphries is visiting Miss Tillie Wagar, Colebrooke. Mr. Sexsmith, Selby, spent a couple of days, last week, with Rev, M. E. Sexsmith. Rob- ert Anderson has been given the con- tract for taking care of the cemetery, and S. E. Sagar will be the superin- tendent. Miss Goodearl, of Kingston, is the guest of Miss Potter. The Board of Educationr met, on Monday night, to engage a teacher to succeed Miss Grange, on the high school stafi. In all, eighteen applica- tions were received, and after much consideration, the board accepted that of Mr. Owens, of Trenton, with that of Miss Smith, of Niagara Falls South, as second choice. However, Mr. Owens wired his acceptance, on Tuesday, and will be the new teacher on the staff when school reopens. Ex- tensive repairs are being made at the academy this week. F. D.

Sins Of Omission. The Ottawa kree Press gives a very elaborate review 'of what, according to its contention, the Whitney gov- ernment has dome for the cause of |T education in this province. There are, however, two very marked respects in which the government has fallen down and as to thesp our contemporary is silent. - One is the failure to do anything toward improving the enforcement of the truancy laws, and providing some kind of machinery for their enforce- ment. There is little to be gained by improving the course of studies and raising the salaries of the teachers, ii the benefits of education are not ex- 1 tended to those most in need of them. The other is the failure to take ona single step in advance in the matter of technical education. All we have is the statemient that Dr. Pyne has goue to Europe to make a study of this impprtant question, but ministers of the crown have, in the past, visited |} Europe on all sorts of pretexts dur- ing vacation 'time, and no public benefit has followed therefrom. In short, the Whitney sins of omis- sion are serious, and canndt easily be condoned, h le h I » I ------------ Venerable Medical Man.
