Among the scores of pertinent re-
marks made by Secretary of War Taft
during his address at the S1st commence
ment of Miami University on the 10th
of this month, in which he discussed
the uppermost topics of the day, his
denunciation of the divorce evil was
decidedly to the point. During his re-
marks he said:
Last year there were 612 divorces
out of every 10000 marriages. If this
continues to grow, what will become
Of that which is today the foundation
of our civilization and our state-the
home and the family? Ought there not
be some radical measures by which to
prevent the looseness with which the
marriage bond is tied and the ease with
which it may be Dissolved? Now, if it
were given to congress to pass uniform
laws of marriage and divorce, we would
be certain, first, that the majority in
the congress of the Union would see
to it that conservative restrictions upon
the law of divorce would be enacted
and that for no light reason should there
be a separation of those joined together
in matrimony under the law, and,
secondly, we would be certain that ad-
ministered as the divorce law would be,
by judges of the federal courts subject,
as they all would be, to the general
supervision of the supreme court of the
United States, that there would be a
uniform administration of the law in
the courts
