Menace Of Divorce.

The divorce mills OF South Dakota
were not voted out of business a day too
soon, and other states will do well to
tinker up their divorce laws, if Walter
r. W'olcox, professor of economies and
statistics at Cornell university, has been
quote correctly, Professor Wilcox Is
consulting statistician Of New York
state department Of health, and for the
United States census bureau. He has
had much to do with compiling the
statistics on marriage and divorce which
viii soon be issued by the government.
Professor Wilcox is quoted, in the course
Of lecture delivered by him at Ithaca,
to the following effect:
"The increase OF divorces is 80 rapid
that at the end Of the present century,
il ii is not checked. fully one half Of
the marriages will be ended by divorce
instead OF BY death
Incidentally, he presented some inter
csting statistics bearing on the period Of
married life at which divorces are most
common. and showed that the chances
for dissolution of marriage in the
divorce courts after children are born
are only one fourth what they would be
II there were no offspring. Having called
attention TO the fact that the s-ersge
duration OF life at the present time is
much greater than il used to be, he sug-
sesrd that the increasing length Of life

The ROxbury Hatchery.

The argument for the adjustment Of
the state Ash hatchery at Roxbury
seems to be placed largely on the groun
that the United States government is
carrying on Ash culture station in
Vermont and therefore there is no rea-
son for maintaining two such institu
tions. Il is pertinent 10 call attention
to the fact that Vermont has no more
claim on or control over the government
station in this state, than it has upon
one in California. The government is
not running its station for Vermant and
this state will get no more considers-
tion any other eastern state in the dis
tribution OF its products. The Roxbury
hatchery should not be given up under
the misrepresentation that Vermont has
the least controlling interest in the gov
ernment station.-Northfeld News.

Far from being discredited in his own
organization, Samuel Gompers seems to
have grown in power with the American
Federation of Labor, which body on Sat.
urday again elected him as president.
This reelection may also be taken some
what as retort to alleged snubs against
labor, in which Gompers as the head of
the organization had to take the brunt.
Aside from that, however, Gompers holds
a remarkable sway in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Patriotism and Piety.

The swanto Courier makes an excel
lent suggestion as follows;
rGoyernor Prouty's Thanksgiving pro.
clamation is well worth reading in all
the public schools. 1t breathcs of thank.
flllncss, il reverent, and Is wise in coun.
sci and eleyating in thought"
This all true and more might also be
said in praise. The public school is the
cradle OF patriotism. 1t Is maintained
by the state and IL should ever conserve
the interests of the commonwealth in
the broadest sense OF that term. Patr-
otism and spirit OF devoutness should

grand heritage handed down to ms by
our New England fathers. Burlington

: It is a gratifying sign Of the
times that the papers Of Mclean
county are generally disposed to
treat Governor John Burke with
candor and fairness. It is no part
of the business Of a newspaper to
with hold credit where credit is
due; nor is it special evidence Of
loyalty to party to abuse a worthy
public official because he happens
to honestly believe in different pol
itical principles. In this day and
age good citizenship and intelli-
gent, conscientious attention to
public duty have, to a large extent,
superseded the old order of things
which found expression in the fam
iliar slogan, Party first. LAST and
all the time" And for this. adj
vance we have Theodore Roosevelt
to thank LARGELY, for he has always
generously recognized meritorious
public service without regards to
politics.

the enforcement of law, and his
public addresses throughout the
state have probably had more in
fluence than any other n factor
in fostering a healthy public senti-
ment in favor Of law enforcement.
He has given q higher tone and
significance to law and order, and
by his example,, established o
standard Of official conduct which
will insure to the state a higher
quality Of public service in the fu-
ture.
furthermore, Governor Burk's
influence has been extended be-
yond the confines Of North Dakota.
He has brought the state to the
favorable notice of the whole a
ton by his prominence, at the
Deep Water-W Way Conventions, at
Memphis and Sioux City, Of which
latter he's chairman; and also at the.

or Burke we do not in the least de-
tract from the high qualities Of his

MI. johnson is a worthy, capa~
bic man in every respect, and is
entitled to the earnest support Of
