STATISTICS on DIVORCES
Census Bureau Makes a Compilation
Of Twenty Years Record.
TWELVE MILLION MARRIAGES
One In Twelve Of These, According 60
Records OF the Courts, Has
Proven q Faifure-DIvOrces
on the I~ncreRse.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-The bureau OF
tie census has just completed a compilation
OF the statistics Of marriage and divorce
covering a period Of twenty years from
1887 to 1896, inclusive. This IL the second
statistical investigation OF this character
authorized by the federal government, the
y earlier inquiry being carried out through the
agency Of the Department (now bureau Of
Labor, under the direction of Carroll ID.
Wright, who was then commissioner of
labor. Mr.. Wright has also been associated
with the present inquiry. acting as an ex-
pert special agent OF the census bureau.
The detailed report presenting the results OF
the present inquiry, and including also a
summarization OF figures presented in the
former report. which is now out Of print,
is in press; but in the meantime the census
bureau has issued a bulletin, prepared by
Joseph A. Hill. which presents a summary
of the results OF the inquiry with as much
detail as will probably be desired by the
general public.
over Twelve Million Marriages.
The total number Of marriages recorded
during the twenty years from 1887 to 1906,
inclusive, was 1882, 0A. The number an
nually reported increased from 5000 in the
year 1887 to 1853, 30 in the year 1906. The in
crease year by year was by no means uni
form. The marriage rate is quickly respon-
sive TO changes in economic conditions. A
small Increase shown for 1898 and an actual
decrease in the succeeding year reflect the
influence of the panic of 1892, and normal
conditions do not appear to have been re-
stored in the matrimonial market until the
year 1899. 1t is computed that II the average
annual increase in marriages during the
five years ending with 1899 had continued
for the nawf afx yaara the aGRra4afa number
OF marriages contracted during the latter
period would have been greater than IT
was by 259,Sl3. 1t Is to be presumed that a
considerable number OF persons in this large
total never contracted marriage. This sug-
gests a loss to the community heretofore
little considered In connection with periods
Hf financial depression.
Marriage Rate.
The marriage rate in the United states in
tho year 1900 was SO per 10000 population.
tBased upon the adult unmarried (single,
widowed ordicorced) population, the rate
becomes 31 per 10000. indicating that in
each year something over 3 per cent Of the
unmarried adult population marry. The
marriage rate based on the total popula-
tion Is higher In the United states than in
any other country for which reliable sta
tistics are available. But taking the mar
riageable population as the b~asist-hat is,
= the population which is OF manageable
age and not married-the rate in the United
States Ia not as high as it is in Hungary,
is about the same as In Saxony, but is still
higher thar in any of the other countries
included in the comparison.

el5.eS. For the earlier Investigation. cover
ing the twenty years. 1851 to 1885, inclusive,
the number reported was 32S,n6 9, or hardly
more than one-third OF the number re-
corded in the second twenty years. At the
beginning Of the forty-year period, covered
b ythe two Investigations, divorces occurred
at the rate OF 1000 a year; at the end OF
that period the annual number was about
5000. This increase, however, must be
considered in connection with increase In
population.
ma increase Of % per cent In population
between the years 1870 10 1880 was accom-
panied by an increase Of 70 per cent In the
number OF divorces granted. nj the next
decade, 1880 to 1890, the population Increased
g per cent and the divorces 70 per cent
and in tho following decade, 1890 TO 1900,
an Increase Of p per cent in population
was accompanied by an increase OF IS per
cent in the number Of divorces. In the
six years from 1900 to 1905 population. as
estimated. increased 1915 per cent and d.
vorces 2s.S per cent.
Il this appears that at the end OF the
forty-year period that divorces were In
creaslng about three times as fast as popu-
lation, while in the FIRST decade QSD to
iSsO they increased about two and two
Thirds as fast.
The divorce rate per 10000 population
increased frob twenty-nine in 1870 to eighty
two in 1906. In the former year there was
one divorce for every 3A1 persons, and In
the year later one divorce for every LIS
Since it is only married people who car
become divorced. a more significant d.
vorce rate II that which is based, not upon
total population, but upon the total mar
ried population. The rate per 10000 mar
ried population was eighty-one IN the yeaI
1870 and 200 in the year 1900. This com
parison indicates that divource Is at present
two and one-half times as common com
pared with married population. as 1t was
forty years ago. A divorce rate OF 20
per q 1000 married population Is equivalent
to two per 1000 married population. As
Stunning that 1000 married people represent
500 married couples, it follows that In eacl
year four married couples out OF every
1000 secure a divorce.
This does not mean that only four mar
riages out OF 1000 are terminated by divorce
The rate, It will be noted, is an annua
rate, continuously operative, and comet
far short of measuring the probability o
ultimate divorce. The available data in
dictate, however. that not less than on,
marriage in twelve is ultimately terminates
by divorce.
Divorce rates appear to be much higher
in the United States that in any of tn
foreign countries for which statistics re
lating to this subject have been obtained.
The number OF divorces reported for eacl
state in each twenty-year period and tn
divorce rate In 1880 and 1900, based on

Two-thirds OF the total number Of

covered by this investigation were granted
to the wife. q t.l.
Without any reference to the question of
which party is the more frequently re-
sponsible for the marital u~nhappiness that
leads to divorce, it may be said that the
wife has a legal ground for divorce more
frequently than the husband; that Is to
say there are certain well-recognized and
comparatively common grounds that are
more readily applicable as against the hus-
band than as against the wife. Notably
there is neglect to provide" or nonsup-
port which, for the husband seeking
divorce, 10 hardly an available ground, al
though the present investigation found six
cases In the state OF Utah, in which the
husband obtained a divorce on that ground.
Cruelty although not i~nfrequently the
ground for divorces granted to husbands.
is more generally existent as a cause for
the wife's seeking a divorce. Five divorces
for cruelty are granted TO the wife for
every one granted to the husband.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-27
Causes of

The most common single ground for
divorce in desertion. This accounts for $50
per cent of all divorces period 1887 to
lS6); 4s4 per cent, or almost oAe-half Of
those granted to the husband. ana ssb per
cent, or one-third. of those granted to the
wife.
The next most important ground Of
divorce is, for husbands. adultery, and for
wives. cruelty. OF the divorces granted 10
husbands 1887 to 1906 8.s per cent were for
adultery; and OF those granted 10 wives
27.5 per cent were for cruelty. Only 10 per
cent OF the divorces granted to wives were
for adultery OF the husband. and 1O6 per
cent OF divorces granted to husbands were
for cruelty on the part of the wife.
Drunkenness was the ground for divorce
n 53 per cent of the cases in which the
wife brought suit. and in IL per cent Of this
cases in which the suit was brought by the
husband.
The above percentages represent those
cases in which the specified cause was the
sole ground on which the divorce was
gaanted. Very frequently, however
divorces are granted. not upon one ground
only. but upon two or more I'm combine
ton.
In many cases in which drunkenness OF
intemperance was not recognized IN the
decree OF the court as a ground for divorce
il appears TO have been present as a con
tributory Influence. Intemperanee was II
