Judge Johnston has swept much

MatrimOny and Divorce.

To the Editor OF the World;
People have wondered why more
divorces are granted in the United
States than in any other country. The
reason is this; More Opponents are
going on. Without the consent OF their
parents children without knowledge Of
even the meaning of the word "matri.
mony" are ruined by the quick knot
that is tied
If there were law that no couple
under the sge of twenty-One years and
without the consent OF their parents or
custodians, should be granted mari
age certificate, the man and wife would
live happier and have respect for each
other and people would be careful be-
fore picking out their partners.

BaScOm At 1t Again.

Mr.. Bascom Slemp was interviewed
IN Richmond last week, and in his
usual optomistic style predicted his
Paps election by four or five thousand
majority, and that the Republicans
VIII elect their candidate in the Fifth
district. No one will be alarmed at
his guess work now. He did happen
TO hit it once and they called him a
prophet. Then he missed 1t so far last
year that people regard his prophecy
ing as a joke. This is his first appear
ance before the public since the niubt
after election last fall, when he closed
ms headquarters about midnight and
departed from Roanoke saving that
about the only spot that showed any
Republican gain in the State was HOG
Island in Accomac County.
His reasons are not sound ON thio

claims the Republicans will sween this
district and gain the 9Th. Last wear
Swanson carried the 9Th, district NV
2l69 and Lewis carried the 9th. bv

III the Republicans have a chance n
carry the 9TH, the Democrats, by the
same reasoning, have a better chance
to carry the 9th, as they have a less
majority to overcome. But Bascom
talks a great deal. Last wear he was
going to have 10000 majority in the

State. He missed it just a small frac-
