FOUR ITEMS FROM THE COMMONER.
Republican politicians are try
ing to prevent the election to the
United States senate, of Governor
Chamberlain, of Oregon. Gov
ernor Chamberlain, a democrat,
received a majority of the votes
at the June election. The legis
lature chosen at that same elec
tion is almost unanimously re
publican, but of the ninety legis
lators fifty-one voluntarily signed
a pledge to elect as senator the
popular choice. It is reported
that P.esident Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft have been asked to inter
vene in the Oregon situation to
the end that a republican senator,
rather than the popular choice,
may be chosen.
A compendium of statistics on
marriage and divorce has recently
been issued by the bureau of the
census department of commerce
and labor. The statistics are the
result ot careful gathering of
figures in every state in the union
the period covered being from
1887 to 1900. The last set of na
tional statistics on marriage and
divorce covered the period from
1807 to 1880. The present set of
statistics, taken in conjunction
with the former one, therefore,
gives a view of the marriage and
divorce question for the past
forty years. The three important
facts brought out in this compen
dium are: One marriage out of
every twelve in the United States
terminates in the divorce court.
Divorce is two and dnc-half times
as common in this country as it
was forty years ago. Illinois
grants more divorces than any
l other state in the union.
Here is a good Roosevelt story
for w;hich the Washington corres
pondent for the New York World
stands sponsor: "Quentin Roose
-1 velt, the president's youngest son,
, has just begun to attend school in
Washington. Before entering
school he was lolyl at home that
he mustn't let the fact that his
father is president give him any
; airs; that it had nothing to do
with his standing in school: in
: short, that he was not to mention
it at all. On the first day the
pupils were asked to tell where
- they lived and what their fathers
j did for a living. It came Quen
tin's turn ‘Where do you live?’
I'At the White House,' he replied,
after a pause ‘What is your
i father's business?' The admoni
tion not to mention that his
father is president stuck in Quen
■ tin’s throat He made no reply
at all. •Well?' Still no response.
'Come, you have to answer, you
; know. What does your father do?’
The youngest Roosevelt looked
the teacher squarely in the eye,
and replied: ’He's IT.’”
A remarkable tribute to a de
voted Catholic priest was paid re
cently at Shenandoah, Pa., at the
funeral of Rev. H. F. O’Reilly,
rector of the Roman Catholic
church of the Annunciation. For
forty years Father O'Reilly had
served in this position. An As
sociated Press dispatch says:
“Twenty-five collerics employing
more than 10,000 men and boys
in the Shenandoah and Mahoney
valley were shut down to enable
the workers to pay their respects
to the dead priest. The public
schools here at Mahoney City
and‘other surrounding communi
ties were closed and all business
in Shenandoah was suspended.
Fully thirty thousand persons
paid tribute to his memory. So
immense was the crowd in town
that a detail of state police was
called upon to assist the local
authorities to handle the people.
Father O'Reilly was one of the best
known and most popular priests
in the diocese. During the Molly
Maguire crusade and in numerous
coal strikes he wielded a great in i
fiuence in behalf of peace and law
and order.”
Why Not Spread a Net for Ravenous
Loan Sharks?
Various Denver philanthropists t
are discussing ways and means
ot making the approaching
Christmas a blessed one tor all ]
God’s poor within the city's gates t
If they are truly in earnest, it
they really wish to do something
tor the struggling toilers of Den- \
ver that will not flicker ou: with
the Christmas candles, why not
cast a net, cable-strong, for the
“loan sharks?”
They are ravenous creatures
and they feed mercilessly on the
poor man’s weekly income
Here is a story that came to the j -
notice of the Times only yester- j,
day: A Denver bookkeeper, earn
ing S2O a week, has a wife and
three young children His wife
was ill for a long time two years
ago, and to give her the care and
comforts she needed he put a SO7
mortgage on the furniture of their
cottage, receiving S9O
after the various tees had been
deducted. For two years now he
has been paying $4.85 every
month interest on that mortgage,
$100.40 in all.
Last year, when his third child
was born, and things were going
badly, he secured a salary loan,
for which he is paying 10 per
cent, a month. One-fifth of his
earnings, scanty at best, now goes
jto the loan sharks in interest..
As for the principle—there seems
: to be no earthly way by which he
can ever hope to pay that, though
he seizes eagerly on any odd jobs
that comes his way, balancing
books in the evening, earning a
little extra money here, saving
the pennies there—while all the
time his affairs are getting more
hopelessly entangled. He and
his wife are dreading Christmas
. this year.

There are hundreds of such
hard working people in Denver
whose homes, ease and happiness
are being gulped down into the
greedy maw of some loan shark
There is work here for the
philanthropists and the ministers,
"rescue work” such as is already
being carried on in some eastern
cities.
A money-lending association,
financed by public spirited busi
ness men, which will lend money
to the needy, on proper security,
at a reasonable rate of interest! A
society formed to rescue working
men and women from loan sharks!
The idea is "in the air.” May
it soon secure a firm footing on
the solid earth. What better
time for beginning the work than
now, at this season of good will
toward men? —Denver Times.
