The Divorce Evil. According to recently issued statistics covering 1913, about seventy-five marriages out of each one hundred thousand in the United States result in divorce . This is not as alarming a ratio as some extremists would have us believe. Nevertheless, the divorce problem is sufficiently serious. A great many causes have been given, many of which are just and legitimate, and many of which would be relieved by a juster economic system and a sounder social fabric. But perhaps the most prominent and even most frequent cause of divorce is nothing else than incompatibility.

It is probable that marriages

successful as in past times. We realize the seriousness of the condition more than our forefath

ers did because we have statistics

r.ot. But anyone who is familiay ture of the Nineteenth and the the preceding centuries knows

stock subjects for novels and plays was the un

successful marriage. Many of our greatest, many have been very unlucky in their crates had his Xantippe, Marcus

riage resulted in Commodus, Napoleon had his Josephine, Diderot had his peasant girl, Samuel Johnson, Goethe, Heine, Wesley, Ruskin, Lincoln, these, and many others equally notable, were

very unhappy in their matings.

It is evident that in these cases the sole cause of the mis-match was incompatibility; and what

is true of them is doubtless true

others equally unfortunate . though not so well

known.

The husband becomes interested in his club, his business, his social circle, his books and his

papers ; the wife grows absorbed in her clubs, her own circle, her domestic interests and other

feminine affairs. This goes on for years and years until finally the two awake to discover themselves in separate worlds. It is merely an accident that they live in the same house. It is merely a convenience that they continue to live together. Their bodies are mated but their souls are separated. They are divorced in fact if not in name. When such a condition arises and one or the other can no longer endure it, almost the one sole relief that offers itself is a divorce. One may reasonably argue that this is often the refuge of a coward but he cannot reasonably deny that this is undoubtedly one of the commonest causes of separation. But why this incompatibility? Is it not due to the bankruptcy of romance? Is it not due to the fact that the old glamor which wove its nets of passion around each of these souls has been permitted to decay and drop away? In the old courting days each of them strained every nerve to make himself or herself as attractive to the other as possible. But now that the knot is tied, they lapse into a kind of indifference and suppose that love will continue in some sort of automatic fashion and sustain itself. This is a great fallacy. It may be argued that love is a duty but it cannot be denied that it is also a duty to nurture and to tend it. The wedding license does not guarantee the permanence of love ; that can alone be guaranteed when the man and the woman are as faithful to their love as they are to each other. The one cure for incompatibility is to make marriage a life-long honeymoon. When the wife is always a sweetheart who must be courted, when she uses the same arts of love to retain the love of her husband that she did in the first place to win it, and when the husband maintains the same chivalric attitude toward his wife that he did to the maiden before she became his wife, love will flourish like the green bay tree. After all, responsibility for the right married life lies on the shoulders of the wife and the husband. No laws, no social system, no economic justice, however desirable or needed, will ever guarantee successful marriages. That alone will

some when husbands and wives

stand that love is an art and that every successful husband and wife must become an artist in love.

The "New Policeman. In the wave of municipal reconstruction and legeneration now sweeping over the land, the policeman is beginning to have a share. We have talked about the "new" city politics, the "new" city charter, the "new" city executive, the "new" community spirit, and now we are beginning to talk about the "new" policeman. But this change is not so much a matter of externals as in spirit and attitude. The old notion that the typical "cop" must be a florid-faced, brutal bully, holding his position by being as cruel as the men he sends up, is giving away to the idea that a policeman must be a gentleman. And the old notion, that the best "cop" is he who makes the largest number of arrests is giv-

fng way to the Idea that the best "cop" s he who makes the least number of arrests; not because he is negligent of duty but because he prevents crime in his district. In fact we are coming to feel we could cite cases to prove our point if space permitted that a policeman should be the embodied conscience of a community patrolin g the streets ; one who will attract rather than repel; one whose ambition is to inspire citizens

to an admiration than to terrorize the law. The germ of ed in the mind laclana, So;

Goodwin. Here's hoping the germ will some day1 come to full development.

Solution of the Garbage Question. At a session Monday morning the Board of Works devoted an hour or so to discussing the garbage situation. The various remarks made revealed where the real root of the difficulties affecting garbage is to be found. An excellent ordinance was passed and approved by the Council September 8, 1913. This covers quite adequately all points of garbage collection and disposal. Considerable publicity was given to this ordinance at the time it was passed and there is no excuse for the citizens being ignorant of its provisions. Nevertheless it is found that a large percentage of Richmond people are completely ignoring it. It is undoubtedly this indifference of the citizens themselves to their own laws and ordin

today are as and they did with the litera

ances that lies at the bottom of so many of the bad conditions which plague us. A law is not an automatic, self -enforcing thing. The police department cannot possibly keep going about from house to house to see that every individual is fulfilling the law. If the citizens do not have enough civic pride and self-respect to co-operate with the city officials, the citizens have no right to complain of the incompetency of any official. The thing that we need in all of our cities is an awakened sense of responsibility on the part of individuals. We often say that an official is i trustee of the public ; so also is every private person. Each and every one of us is responsible for the state of affairs to the extent of his influence. In a recent speech at Cincinnati, Felix Adler made a stirring address before the City Club in which he said that he had at one time supposed it to be the duty of every voter to entertain a cordial hatred of the political boss and that he

and respect for order rather them into a 'dread and fear of

then imagined that the extirpation of political bosses would purify our American politics. But he confessed that he has now come to believe that the political boss is little more than a scape-goat on which the indifferent and negligent citizens saddle the responsibility for their own failures. There is no doubt, we suppose, that very often while a man is calling down fire from heaven on the head of some incompetent city official, the Recording Angel is pointing at the man himself and saying, "Thou art the man." It is a splendid thing for a man to go on the battle field inspired by patriotism for his own country and face bullet and shrapnel; but it is a thing quite as heroic and quite as splendid to develop in one's self the patriotism of peace and to have the same loyalty towards one's community that the soldier feels towards his flag. If we are not faithful over small things how shall we ever be given charge over large things ? Citizens who do not obey the garbage ordinance are doing on a small scale what Benedict Arnold did on a big scale. And if disease and ill health result from the unsanitary condition of our alleys, as certainly will be the case, John Smith and Sam Jones and Bill Brown and every other private citizen who has been indifferent to the law will be responsible for the deaths and the losses due thereto.

ANGUISHED

Lord, is it a sin to live That we who live again Tn Thee, must live our bitter Here An anguished Now of pain? Is sunlight to be paid for By we that it was made for Hy longings unfilled And dreams that fade from view Like songs that grief has stilled And hopes that ne'er come true? Lord, is it such a crime to grow That we whose years increase Must never any joyance know Of a serene high peace? Is laughter of such heavy cost We pay for it in sorrow tost And agony and tears, And the long, dark, hopeless years, Seeing beauty passing by So low our power, its strength so high? Lord, is pleasure such a blot That hell is made thrice burning hot I or those to scorch in who dare smile Against the shadowy Afterwhile? Ah, we have need for patience more in this our spiritual war, Than ever great commander needed Whose hosts by trampling terror speeded, Rushed to destruction through affright And more than all, the Light!

To The Editor Palladium: My attention haa been called to the fact that a short time since there was a statement made in your paper, that I had filed a remonstrance to baring an aro light placed at the comer of South Eighth and H streets, and that it was supposed I would now withdraw same, as I had recently been held up and robbed of 12.00 in money at my premises. I wish to state that : I do not intend to withdraw my re- i monstrance, as I object to the light on the grounds that it will destroy the j enjoyment of the main part of my premises and as the light would serve just as well if placed at South Eighth and I streets, and would accommodate the residents of that sec- j tion, since they seem to enjoy the glare of electric light. As to the hold up and robbery, that certainly originated in some one's fertile imagination. Respectfully, . Mrs. Orothaus. CHRISTIAN FORBERANCE. Church denominations, of whatever kind or creed, have in common, one great and noble purpose vis: The betterment of mankind, spiritually, morally and physically. Therefore, it is greatly to be regretted that any one engaged in such work should find it necessary to publically denounce or condemn other denominations in order to attempt to carry to success the work of his high calling. Will God, who is as the scriptures declare, truth and love, reward services thus performed? Were it not for the fact that the. general public is not so uncharitable or narrow minded as to be visibly swayed by false and extravagant statements, there certainly would be danger of bringing the work of all the churches into general disrepute -by such methods. Our Master said "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Also, "therefore all things whatsoever ye do ye eren so unto them for this is would that men should do unto you, the la wand the prophets." Thus it would seem incumbent on us in striving to do the work and will of our Master, to keep in our consciousness the Golden Rule. And be it said in defense of a principle, and in justice to those so denounced and misrepresented, that all church services are free to the public and that "whomsoever will may come and drink of the water of life freely," for, "Ye shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free."

WORK STARTS TODAY Church Building to Be Completed in Few Weeks.

Work on the temporary building of the Central Christian church started today, when the first gravel was hauled to the site on Twelfth and North B street. With good weather George Mansfield, a member of the church board, said the tabernacle could be finished and ready for use in five or six weeks. At a meeting last night the board approved the plans which have been drawn. The building will be finished after the manner of the Honeywell tabernacle, only more substantially constructed. The interior walls will be rough and unplastered. Seating capacity for 1,000 persons is provided in the main auditorium. In addition there will be several smaller rooms for Sunday school classes. TWO WOMEN AVOID OPERATIONS By Taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Chicago, 111. "I must thank you with all my heart for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I used to go to my doctor for pills and remedies and they did not help me. I had headaches and could not eat, and the doctor claimed I had female trouble and must have an operation. I read in the paper about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and I have taken it and feel fine. A lady said one day, Oh, 1 feel so tired all the time and have headache.' I said, 'Take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,' and she did and feels fine now." Mrs. M. R. Karschnick, 1438 N. Paulina Street, Chicago, Illinois. The Other Case. Dayton, Ohio. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound relieved me of pains in my side that I had for years and which doctors' medicines failed to relieve. It has certainly saved me from an operation.
