BAD MARRIAGE LAWS THE CHIEF
CAUSE OF DIVORCE.
George Elliot Howard in the Deem
Der McCLURE's.)

The great fountain-head of divorce
is bad marriage laws and bad mar
riages. Hampered by ancient tradi-
ton, befogged by medieval modes OF
thought, in dealing or neglectlng to
deal with the marriage institution we
have signally failed to develop meth
DDS Of social control adequate to the
new psychic character of the family
No one who in full detail has carefully
studied American matrimonial legisla-
ton can doubt for an instant that,
faulty as are our divorce laws, our
marriage laws are far worse. Hardly
a conceivable blunder is left uncom-
mitted; while our apathy, our care
lessness and levity, regarding the mar
riage institution, are almost beyond
belief OF the two factors as causes
of divorce, bad marriage laws are, OF
course, less harmful than are mar
riages biologically or morally bad
, Here, too, the power of the lawmaker
is limited. Yet bad marriage law
will account for divorce in far more
cases than will bad divorce law
This is true because its function Is
prevention. For instance, bad mar
riage laws may permit, or fail to pre-
vent, the union of those who are un
fit to wed because of venereal disease
insanity, crime, or degeneracy. The!
may suffer, even encourage, clandes
tine unions, so apt to end in the di
vorce court. This is why the mar
riage resort" l4iSe that at st. Joseph
Michigan, is many times more harm
full than the divorce colony" such a
those formerly at Mandan, Fargo, o
Sioux Falls. The thoughtless, frivC
lous, sensual, or immature couple
Joined at the wedding resort often fin
their way to the colony.
There is crying need of a highe
ideal of the marriage relation; Q
more careful selection in wedlock. A
ounce of prevention is worth poun
of cure.

PROPERTY SALE FOR
TAXES.
BACK

A list of all delinquent taxpayers
is being compiled by Assistant City
Attorney Frank ]. Gerard, for the
purpose of having public sale OF
the property on which there are
taxes unpaid. There has not been
such a sale in Nashville since 1902,
and the new city officials think that
it is time for those who have been
warned that they are delinquent to
have their property sold if they con
tinue in their refusal to pay up what
they owe the city.
Albert ]. Ewing, Jr., city attorney
states that there are a great many
people in the city who are able to pay
their taxes, and who will not do so
and that some of these people owe
back taxes to the amount of hundreds
of dollars According to the charter
of the city, the city attorney is ta1
collector, and is empowered to sci
property and collect the money fol
back taxes when the money Is mo-
forthcoming from the owners.

TION.

The Globe in this issue is able
to give complete totals of the regis
trations held in the city and county
since last August, and including the
ten days biennial registration of last
August. The city has had one more
supplemental registration than the
county for the reason that registra-
ton was held for the city election of
last October IA. City and county alike,
however, had the biennial together
and the supplemental registration
just ended last week held for the
county primary of December 9.
There are, according to the figures
of Supervisor Adamson, 20,966 voters
at this time registered in the county.
Of this number, it is estimated that
from 1000 to 1900 are Implications,
especially in the city, by reason of
removal last October.
The following table, however, pre-
sents the white and colored totals
of the city and the country for the
three registrations, separating them
ward by ward and district by district:
The city shows total registration
of 1915, all told, and 1858 white,
all told, after deducting LOOP col
ored voters registered in the three
registrations together. There are
now 1920 colored voters registered in
the county, leaving just 1853 colored
for the country.
The grand total registration in the
country, white and colored, is 4,231.
The Second Ward leads with to-
tai of 1903 voters registered. The
Twentieth is close behind, with 1,-039.
The three largest Negro wards, as
