Evils OF Divorce

In commenting upon the appalling prev
| alence of divorce in the United States
as recently revealed by a census bulletin
Cardinal Gibbons says, divorce is be
coming so prevalent that marriage is
getting to be little better than free love"
The growth of divorce proceedings in
the United States is not only disgraceful,
but is a menace to the best interests OF
the land. The variations in the divorce
laws between the states are responsible
for most of the trouble. The ease with
which divorces may be obtained leads
people upon the slightest pretext to seek
them.
The strength of the nation rests in the
sanctity of the home, because from the
environment the youth of the country
imbibe their inspirations The duty,
therefore, which confronts us, in view of
the fact that during the past twenty
weary over one million divorces have
been granted in the United States, as
shown by the records of the courts, is APP
parent. Instead of the fads and fancies
which seem to stimulate the legislators
into activity, if some strong man would
make himself the pioneer in the framing
oflaws that would be adopted by all the
states, as well as the Federal Congress,
he alone would be held as great leader.

are, $50 far as they are open to criticism
--throughlack of adequate support. Mr.
Stone had to admit that he knew of nc
other normal schools working under the
handicap of such slender support, and
yet to Mr. Stone, along with other mem.
bers of the Normal Board, belongs the
responsibility for this very condition.
The competency of the present normal
| schools to take the necessary steps in
elementary agriculture and Industrial
training was pointed out both by Prin.
Morrill, and DR.. Collins The latter in
vited Supt. Stone to name any educatorsin

Alger, former principals at Randolph and
Johnson. None were named; and vet
the necessity OF this work, which these
men were ready and willing to undertake
years ago, is turned into an argument
for the establishment of new school
which Shall outclass and degrade the
old. -
The building of new plant at John
son will accomplish at very reasonable
cost all that can be accomplished by
building a new school anywhere. Stand
ards can be as high in Johnson as in
Bellows Falls, where many Johnson grad
yates go, by the way The same work
may be conducted in the one place as in
the other No envious competition with
the other schools will be aroused, because
a dilapidated old building is replaced
with a suitable one, in the same COM
munity. All complicated and delicate
problems will be avoided, particularly in
respect to satisfactory training school
arrangements. 1t will be easier to put a
$40, 900 building over the old institution
that is already turning out 80 trained
teachers per annum than it will be to
build up an entirely new school in a
$125, 900 plant that will not turn out
halt that number. Some of the Massa-
chusetts schools even now graduate
fewer teachers than Johnson. The sensi-
BILE thing for Vermont to do is to make
the most of what she already has. Let
her begin at Johnson. The expense will
be moderate. The risk will be nothing.
1t may be urged that every commission
which has been appointed to investigate
normal school affairs has reported adj
versely to the schools. Well, perhaps
some day a commits ,ion may get the idea
that it has come not to destroy but to
fulfill, and that the way for Vermont to
make progress is to build up and not try
to tear down what she already has.

The Senator from Lamoille County
voted for the Sc, called Trustee bill simply
because it was a pledge made by the
Republican State Convention last June
and also because the Lamoille County Re-
publican Convention, which nominated
him, endorsed the Republican state
ticket and platform" We could not
honestly do otherwise and we are glad
to have been counted with the 10 Sena-
tors who believed that the party should
keep it's promises. We might add, par
enthetically, that had there been full
Senate 80 members, 1.-TWO were absent
the bill would, in all probability, have
passed. Because those who wanted the
bill killed would not allow it to lay over
until all the absent members were present
is the reason it was killed. We are sure
that our action pleases the Republicans
of this county, and there is no Disgusting

pledge by majority of the Senate is con-
demned by Republicans generally.

Cabinet MAKING

Cabinet making is an industry to
which President elect Taft is devoting
as much of his time as can be spared
from other important occupations, affect
ing the incoming administration. For
the Post office Department in the new
regime head has already been chosen,
Mr.. Hitchcock, the chairman of the Re-
publican National committee, and now
it is stated that Congressman Burton of
Ohio can have the Treasury portfolio if
he will take it. The Congressman is
credited with having senatorial aspira-
tons, and his acceptance of the Treasury
post would clear up that situation. But
he does not regard the outcome of that
situation as a practically accomplished
fact, and will await further develop
ments, though making no secret of his
preference for the Treasury if he is to go
into the new cabinet. AS to the Con
CHEESEMAN'S fitness for the position it is
said that for years he has made a study
of the questions of finance and is the
author of a work on Financial Crisis
and Periods of Commercial Depression. I"
The addition of another member of the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency last winter by Speaker Cannon, in
order to appoint Mr. Burton to that
committee when currency reform was to

A Few QUESTIONS. What are these

why the partys platform pledges were
violated by the Republican legislature
that was chosen on that platform ? Who
is going to stand the brunt of this live
issue that the Democracy and the indie
pendants in our own party will be justi-
fed in raising? Who must take the con-
sequences OF the failure to keep our word !?
What answer can man or a newspaper
honestly make to the critics of 1910
when they point out this breach of trust
to u.s. How shall we look the working
men of Vermont in the face two years from
now when they tell us that they cannot
trust the Republican party of Vermont
to keep good faith with them?
