juvenile court law, which places the
control of all juvenile offenders and

!I''Idlesil" undef fne Jurisdiction of the

statute to treat Juvenile offenders not
as criminals, but as persons not hav-

intent. The law gives very great lati-
tude to the probate judges who are to
be designated as Juvenile court judges

may be returned to his parents and
obliged to report to the court at stated
intervals, or he may be required to

DIVORCE BY WHOLESALE.

While all the readers of the daily
press are painfully aware of the fact
that n very large number of divorces
are being asked for and granted, the
announcement by the census office
that n suit is filed every two minutes
during court hours and decree al
lowed every three minutes Is starr,
ling information. According to the
figures compiled by the census office,
this has been the average for the
past 20 years. Further than this, the
average Is now increasing at IN
alarming rate.
And the most surprising fact SO
far disclosed is that, contrary to the
general belief, the largest percentage
|of increase in divorce Is in rural
communities. Discussing this phase
of the matter an official of the census
office said:
"rhc astonishing thing developed
by the investigation now being made
by the census bureau is that the
greatest increase In divorce is IN the
rural districts. do not mean by Thu,
that the rural districts furnish the
most divorce cases. The cities still
do that. But the increase in cities
for the last 20-year period over the
period from 1867 to 1887 is not as
large as the increase in the rural dis.
tricts. We are now trying to find out
the cause OF the increase, both in
city and country"
This is indeed surprising intelli
gence and will furnish much food for
reflection.
Taking the country as a whole for
the 2O-ycar period from 1867 to 1887
there were only $4,000 divorce suits
MED In this country. For the 20.year
period from 1887 to 1907 the number
aggregates 100000, or four times tho
number for the first period. How.

RAILROADS IN THE SOUTH.

legislation have not kept the trans
nortation problems of the South from
receiving careful attention. Business
men who are concerned with condi.
lions all over the United States have
followed with much interest the
speeches of both public officials and
railroad officials in the South.
Tile recent address in Cincinnati Of
Mr.. Hoke Smith, Goyernor-elect of
Georgia, Is taken rs an example OF
tho most radical view. which urges

ter the Governor.elect spoke in Gin.
clnnati, reads like an answer to many
OF Mr.. Smiths statements. though 1t
could hardly have been prepared as
such.
The opinion of those who have
given study to the question is that
what the South needs most Is i'm
proved facilities, better service, and
not lower rates. Industrial expan.
sion has been and continues to lie so
great that the difficult task before
the common caTtiers is to provide
means to carry the products of both
farm and factory to market
THE South cannot have both lower
rates and better service" said PresI-
dent Finley in Atlanta.
Choice must be made between the
two, and l am sure that the intelll-
gent business men OF this section
will agree with me that improved ia.
cilities are more urgently needed
than any reduction in charges"
There was n time when early fruits
and vegetables could not DO obtained
in the North except at very high
prices. Now. owing to the establish
ment of through railroad service, or
anges from Florida and berries and
peaches from the other Southern
States have come to be regarded al.
most as necessities. Fruits and veg
etables from the South used to be
consigned direct to New York or
Philadelphia, and dealers in other
places had to pay extra freight or
express charges. Now all towns with

York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pitts.
burgh or Buffalo have the rates that
apply to the larger cities. Thus the
Southern farmer is vitality affected
by improvements in transportation.
Considerable as the improvement
has been in the past, however, the
remarkable growth of manufactures
and the increase in the output of
farms due to modern methods OF ag.
riculture are making the task Of the
railroads greater and greater. The
4 necessity of providing better facilities
grows with every month.
