guests Of the Republican club Of Massa-
chusetts and heard addresses by Sec
retary of War Taft, United States Sen
ator Elmer J. Burkett OF Nebraska; !;
Gov Curtis Guild. and Lieut.. Gov. Eben

Taft followed lines similar to the one
which he delivered In Kansas City sew

occasion to deny that he had been a
party to any arrangement by which he
would receive the nomination for vice
president. He added that should he be
selected, he would not refuse the nom

DEFENDED sY PRESIDENT.

Highly Approved.

Washington.-Pres Rooseveli's 5
on an analytical review by Secretary
Root o. the charges against him was
made public Monday. The charges
were preferred by Lorin Andrews and
House committee on the judiciary as
the basis of impeachment proceedings,
They relate to Judge Wilfley's admin
istration OF the United States court
for China at Shanghai.
After disposing OF each Of the seven
charges by showing that neither OF
them is the proper basis of criticism
against Judge Whitley. Secretary Root
reviews conditions In the foreign quar-
ter of Shanghai, showing that because
of the heretofore lax American admin.
istration OF Justice there, affairs had
grown disgraceful. Judge Whitley was
sent there for the express purpose OF
reversing these conditions. Secretary
Root concludes:
The circumstances thus presented
exhib'. a motive for the attempt to
drive Judge Whitley from his position.

misjudgment, e1aggeration and distor-
ton OF the facts on the part OF the law
yers who have personally suffered
from the changed conditions. They
make it clear that upon no triflins
grounds should our government incur
the public misfortune which would be
involved in putting the stamp OF dis
approval on the work for decency and
righteousness that the United States
court for China has done.
My opinion is that Judge Whitley is
entitled, not to condemnation, but to
commentator and high credit for his
conduct il office and that the charges
against him should be dismissed"
President Roosevelt's vindication is
contained in letter to Secretary
Root
He first comments that it appears
that Congressman Waldo OF New York
stands sponsor for the charges.
Il cordially concur in your findings, ="
he continues. which is to the effect
that Judge Whitley is not only limo
cent. but is attacked solely because of
the fearlessness and integrity with
which he has stamped out vice and
crime in Shanghai.
1T is Gear that Judge Whitley has
Deen attacked not because he mas zone
evil. but because he has done good
The assault on him is simply an i'm
peachment of decency and zeal for the
public good and If successful would
tend to COW and discourage every hon
est public servant who dares to with
stand the forces banded together for
evil and would do grave damage to the
honor and interest of our country in
the Orient.
''If the attack We're to succeed, the
beneficiaries would be every keeper
of a house OF prostitution. every swind
ling lawyer, every man who lives by
blackmail and corruption in the cities
of the far East.
These are the people whose hopes
have been revived by the effort to
overthrow this upright and fearless
Judge who has already done 50 much
for the good name of America in
China. 1t is not too much to say that
this assault of Judge Whitley III the in
terest of the vicious and criminal
classes is public scandal"

Naval Officers Experts in Diplomacy

The story is that the Relief has been
burdened with woe ever since the
cruise began, and that every officer of
the navy, except the doctors, is
tickled to death that this is SO. The
line officers who didn't approve having
a doctor as their commander have
found many ways, the story goes, of
making life miserable to the men in
charge of the hospital ship. OF course
the suggestion of service conspiracy
to this end would be resented and
could not be proven, but there is a
sub rosa intimation that something
very like cabal has been formed
with the purpose of proving how much
a doctor doesn't know about running
a ship.
Wherever the fleet has been the Re-
lief has usually limped along behind
the procession. She has had trouble
getting supplies, getting coal, getting
consideration of all kinds. 1t always
just happened this way and nobody
in particular was to blame. 1t is
limited that when the fleet returns sug-
gestions will be made in many quar-
tiers that the cruise has demonstrated
that nobody is competent to manage
a war vessel who is not an accredited
officer of the navy. In other words,
that the experience of the Relief, with
a medical officer in command, has
been a hopeless failure.
The Lamar register., 1908-12-16

w HEN 1t comes to diplomatic
w maneuvering to accomplish their
designs the officers of the navy can
give pointers to the Russians and the
japanese. As an instance the case of
the hospital ship Relief may be cited.
1t will be remembered that last win
ter President Roosevelt made an or
der that the Relief should be COM
mandcd by a medical officer. The men
at the navy department were amazed
that a doctor should be given COM
mand OF a vessel. but there was no
appeal from Mr.. Roosevelt's order.
The Relief was detailed to accompany
the fleet on its trip around the world.
Letters from men who are with the
fleet have been received here telling
of the sad experiences of the hospital
ship and her commander. In describ-
ing these experiences one writer pref
aced his letter as follows: 1.-THE Re-
lief is the most unpopular institution
in the navy. There is no exception.
The Relief has everything else beaten"

VIZ ASHINGTON.-It was generally
w known that divorces in the
United States were getting more
numerous each year. but nobody was
prepared for the surprising statement
made in a census bureau report that
one marriage out of every twelve in
the country terminates in divorce.
Yet such is the case, as shown by the
bureaus figures.
The statistics are the result of care
full gathering of figures in every state
in the union, the period covered being
from 1887 to 1906. The last set of
national statistics on marriage and
divorce covered the period from 1867
to 1886. The present set of statistics,
taken In conjunction with the former
one, therefore, gives view of the
marriage and divorce question for the
past 40 years.
The total number of marriages re-
corded for the 20-year period from
1887 to 1906 was ~ ,S32,044. The total
number of divorces for the period was
945.625.
For the period of the first investiga-
tion OF the subject, from 1867 to 1886,
the total number of divorces was $685.
TIC. At the beginning of the 40-year
period covered by both investigations
there were in this country 10000 di-
vorces annually; at the end of the
period there were $4,000 annually.
The divorce rate per 100000 popula-
tion increased from 20 in 1897 to So
in 1905. The rate per 100000 married

Amazing Increase in Divorce Is Shown

population was 81 in 1870 and 200 in
1890. This comparison" says the
bulletin, Indicates that divorce Is at
present two and one-half times as
common, compared with married
population, as it was 40 years ago..
The Dakotas, which have national
reputation as divorce states, prove, on
analysis of the tables, to be nowhere,
either in total number. of divorces
granted or number of divorces per
100. 900 of population, as against other
states.
In discussing the relation OF divorce
to population, the bulletin says: An
increase of 30 per cent. in population
between the years 1870 to 1880 was
accompanied by an increase OF ~ per
cent, in the number of divorces granted
In the next decade. 1880 to 1880. the
population increased 25 per cent. and
divorces 20 per cent, and in the fol-
lowing decade, 1890 to 1900. an in
crease of 81 per cent. In population
was accompanied by an increase OF
&C per cent. in the number of divorces.
In the six years from 1900 to 1906,
population, as estimated. increased
105 per cent. and divorces 1913 per
cent.
at thus appears that at the end of
the 4O-year period divorces were in
creasing about three times as fast as
population. while in the first decade
GS70 to 1880 they increased only
about two and two-thirds as fast.
Divorce rates appear to be much
higher in the United States than in
any of the foreign countries for which
statistics relating to this subject have
been obtained"
Two-thirds of the total number Of
divorces granted in the 20-year period
covered by this investigation were
granted to the wife. Children were re-
ported in 39s per cent. of the total
number of divorce cases.
