WILL RATES BE CUT?
Report That the Bell Company VIII
Slash Prices when the National
Starts Competition.

1t is reported that the Bell Telephone
Company proposes to cut rates as soon
as the National Telephone Company
enters into competition, which will be
within a short time. 1t is said that
the rate cutting has already commenced
and that one man yesterday closed a
contract for a Bell long-distance phone
for one year, for SIS. The regular long
distance rate is S72 per year, so it will
be seen that the new price is ridicu-
lousy low in comparison.
The National Telephone Company's
rate for residence phones is SIS per
year. 1t is said that the Bell company
threatens to cut this in half, and offer
a residence phone service for 50 a
year, which is about IS cents a week.

The State Statistician Of Indiana has
done an important service to sociology
by compiling the statistics of mar
riages and divorces throughout the en-
tire State. If the same work could be
done, and done as thoroughly, in every
other State a more exhaustive study
of the divorce question would be
possible, and the needs of uniform leg
islatlon would be more apparent. The
reports of the statstician show that
during the year ending on June 30,
1901, the total number of marriages in
the State was 24,OO7 and the total
number of divorces granted was 3,O00,
or about 10 per cent Undoubtedly
some Of these divorces should have
been granted, but it is extremely doubt
full whether such a large percentage Of
marriages as this should have been an
nulled. Other statistics are also of in
terest. The divorces granted to wives
were 1867. to husbands $50, and this
is about the proportions in other States.
1t does not follow from this that wom-
Sh dAN ihOAc pIOue W rush lulO TIE III
vorce courts than men. The causes ex-
plain the numerical difference. OF the
total Q,96O divorces granted to wives
792 were for abandonment by husbands
and 901 for cruel treatment by them.
These are sufficient causes and explain
the apparently large proportion of
wives seeking divorce. The State Sta
tistician also finds that no relation ex-
lists between the social condition Of the
people and the large number of d.
vorces granted each year His report
states that In the older counties. where
the social conditions are on a higher
plane, the ratio of divorces to marriage
licenses is about u per cent, which is
pretty near the average in other coun-
tries. Social conditions, therefore, 1t
may be assumed, have nothing to do
with the number of divorces. 1t is
mainly a question of domestic condi-
tons and human nature, as influenced
by hasty and ill-considere1 marriages.
AS for the remedy. the Indiana Stats
tician is not far out of the way when
he recommends throwing about the
marriage contract such restrictions as
will make 1t more difficult for people
to rush into matrimony recklessly"

A distinguished commander in the

officer, it is confined principally to the
members of the weaker sex, though
there have been instances in which it
has afflicted men. The disease. SAYS its

a tendency on the part of women to
undertake the burdens Of matrimony

of the financial standing of their future

safety as to their future maintenance.
