In our opinion the separation OF Nor
way and Sweden should be matter Of
great regret. While not in sympathy
with monarchical governments as rule it
must be confessed that Norway and
Sweden has been model government Of
its kind Both countries governed them
selves very largely and they were united
for common defense, they had the same
king and their consular and diplomatic
services were united. For many years
the Norwegians claimed that Sweden had
the preponderance in the foreign service
and that not sufficient attention was paid
to Norwegian commercial interests. The
Swedish government claimed that this
was not the case and that the prestige OF
both nations would suffer should separate
consular and diplomatic service be institut-
ed. We are inclined to think that Norway
was not entirely reasonable in itsclain ane
that back of it was the not uuworthy desire
for complete independence. We trus

more nominal than real, and the step
taken is not much effect in the govern
ment of the countries. Their union h; S
consisted mainly in united consular
service, one consul representing both
countries. This has become distasteful
to Norway, and she has proclaimed its
discontinuance. She has offered her
throne to one of the Swedish princes. but
there does not seem to be disposition tc
accept the same. DR.. Nansen, of. Arctic
fame, has been suggested as president in
the event of the establishment of a repub

ments cannot be made with some of the
princes to assume the role of king. VIVA

THE DIVORCE QUESTION

Carroll D. Wright statlStlclan OF the
Department CT Commerce and Labor, re-
ports that during the last twenty years
there have been e7o 900 applications for
divorce in the United States. This
startling announcement suggests the pres
ence of tendency which. if unchecked is
liable to effect the very foundation of our
existing social order.
The extension of the divorce habit is in
a large measure the outgrowth of chang
ing conception of what is involved IN
marriage. There are those who regard 1t
as merely convenient arrangement, cal
culated to contribute to the selfish pleas
ures and advantages OF the contracting
parties, and who think when it has be-
come irksome and uncongeuial its annul
ment is entirely proper and commendable.
There are also many who consider love,
compatibility of temperament as indispen-
| sibe concomitants of welded life. and
| they regard the loss or absence OF these
conditions as adequate grounds for seek
ing divorce.
| Without attempting to close every ave-
nue. of escape from the marriage relation,
save death, it may be stated as general
proposition, that if divorce proceeding
we're made m ore formidable, or practically
prohibitive sufficient care and circumspec-
ion would be exercised in contracting the
obligations of marriage to greatly minim-
| ize. if not almost entirely remove the real
causes for separation This is not tanta-
mount to the assertion that' uncomfortable
conditions may not exist; but many OF the
d faculties between married people are
more imaginary than real, and in a major
ity of cases more easilysendured or over
come than the social evils and the deprav-
1 ity which follow promiscuous divorce.
Proceeding at the present pace it is
only question of a few years when the
marriage relation will have degenerated
into farcical and temporary civil con-
tract and the sanctitys andliseclusion Of
the home will be regarded an .obsolete
whinl of antiquatedj sentimentalists.
When the home atmosphere shall have
been banished, and the tender and
| ennobling influences of the integrity OF
the family shall have3 passed away, then
we shall reap the bitter fruitss of lax
divorce laws, and the shameless disregard
| of nuptial vows.

LAW REFORMS.

THERE'S renewal of the agitation to
abolish the grand jury system. 1t is
claimed by those who are promoting the
crusade against the continuance of this
institution that it serves no good purpose
in large majority of the cases brought
before it; that it involves an unnecessary
expense lothe state; and that it subjects
persous suspected of misdemeanors or
crimes to an expense, delay and partially
Of hearing which is without justification.
They contend that better. fairer way to
bring these cases within the jurisdiction
of the court is by means of the writ of
information.
The Iowa State Bar Association has de-
clared itself in favor of pressing this re.
form before the state legislature at its
next session: and it will in all probability
accomplish something, at least, in the
direction of removing some of the imper-
fections Inherent 10 the present system
