NATIONAL MILITARY SCHOOL

This is an age of specialization,
and West Point s~pecializcs with the
rest of the world. Il is cmphatically
a great military training school
pure and simple. It may even be
called n great military university.
As such it has followed the course
of other American universities in
steadily raising admission require
ments. less than a generation ago
a boy who had a grammar school
diploma might reasonably count on
passing the entrance examination.
To-day only those who have quali-
fed themselves IN studies ordinarily
pursued in high schools are entitled
to approach West Point with a like
degree OF confidence. On the whole
it seems to us that the prospect of
the military academy fulfilling the
purpose of its creation IS improved
by the increasing stringcncy of re-
quirements.

HELD iNFIDEL BONFIRE
IneersolPs Books Burned as Climax Of
Revival.

Big Stone Gap, Va, Oct. 11.-Under
peculiarly spectacular circumstances
Methodist revival came to close at
Pennington Gap. when a number OF
volumes of Robert G. IngersolPs works
were publicly burned.
In the ranks of the converts were
sinners who had long strayed out of
the fold and who were impreganted
with the agnostic doctrines taught by
lngersoll After their conversion, 1t
was suggested that such volu-es as
existed in the community shtylle be
utterly destroyed by fire, and the idea
was instantly adopted. A day and hour
for the novel ceremony was fixed, and
at the appointed time a large assem-
bIage gathered. Amid song and prayer
the offending books were torn apart
and cast into the blaze one by one.

New York, provided that his asso-

cts be substantially Republican, Fusion
nominees as already selected. His
statement, Quilting the conditions upon
which he will accept is in part as fol
lows:
Whether am a candidate or not,
will support the rest of the Fusion
ticket nominated in opposition TO Tam
many Hall When the Independence
League committee withdrew from the
Fusion conference it declared that it
still stood ready TO support frank
and honest expression of progressive
principles and candidates irrespective
OF party This is your opportunity to
substantiate that declaration. Nomi-
nate me if you 80 desire, with the
greater part of that Fusion ticket be
hind me, and l will run.
The candidates nominated on the
Fusion ticket are worthy of support.
The ticket is already in the field, If we
nominate another ticket both tickets
may be defeated If we nominate the
Fusion ticket, Tammany will be de-
feated. And if Tammany is defeated,
the citizens will win
He wishes the endorsement of the
independents to enable him to head

DIVORCES ON
The INCREASE
U. S. Report Says Number
Grows Every Five Years.
945,625 IN TWENTY YEARS

Weddings In the Same Period, From
1887 to 1907, Were 1882, o44-West
Has Higher Percentage of Unhappy
Marriages Than the East.
Washington, Oct. 8.-The census bu-
reau has published report on mar.
riage and divorce. The investigation
of the subject was undertaken by d.
rection of congress, and grew out of
a conference In this city between rep
resentatives of various religious de-
nominations. The investigation has ex-
tended over a period of nearly FIVE
years.
Apparently the divorce rate like
the velocity of falling body, is con-
stantly increased" says the report,
land 1t is impossible to determine
statistically from available data just
what the results would be IL the rate
reached at any particular time remain
ed constant; in other words. no Stats
tics bearing on the question of the
duration Of marriages terminated by
divorce have been obtained that accu.
rately represent present conditions or
conditions at any particular period, for
the conditions are not static, but dy-
mamie"
The statistics cover period from
1887 to the end of 1906. and the total
number of marriages recorded was 12,-
S32.044
The investigation showed that In the
twenty years covered the number of
divorces granted was 945,625.
In the twenty years from 1867 to
1886 the number was about 32S,716,
hardly more than one-third of the num-
Der recorded in the second twenty
years. The report says that each sue
cessive five-year period since 1867 has
witnessed a marked increase In the
number of divorces.
In 1906 the highest divorce rate per
10000 estimated population (16S1 was
reported from the western division-a
rate which was more than four times
that reported from the north Atlantic
division (41) and almost four times
that reported from the south Atlantic
t43). The rate for the north central
division G0S) was almost two and
two-thirds times that for the north At
lantic, while that for the south central
(11S) was two and three-fourths times
that for the south Atlantic Broadly
speaking. the divorce rate increases as
one goes westward.
