FATHER TO HAVE AN INNING.

Father, the head of the family,
the man who pays the bills and is
burdened with the responsibility of
helping to direct the affairs of state
and nation, is going to have a square
deal, writes a Topeka newspaper
man. A Kansas man who is of a
sentimental turn of mind proposes
to find out about fathers standing
as a member of the family. The re-
sponsible head of the family, he says,
has been too long neglected.
Songs have been written, toasts
drunk and oratorical flights INDUCED
in for the honor and fame of mother
and the girls and the rah rah boys,
the useful horse, the helpful hen,
the beef steer, the school ma am and
pretty much everybody and every
thing except the old man. The Kan
sas man rises modestly from a far
corner of the state, and declares that
father should have an inning, and
he has adopted plan to give the
head of the household a square deal
For the best verse limited to 40
lines, or prose limited to 400 words,
he proposes to give prizes of 500
each and smaller prizes, all totalling
$500. When this wealth of senti-
ment which is expected to sound the
praises of father is collected he will
print the whole in little book. He
does not count on coming out whole
in the enterprise; indeed, he expects
to find himself short a good many
dollars.
"But it will have one good effect"
he says. 1T will test a lot of SEN
timental people and others on a sub
iact that has been sadly neglected,
and we shall be able to know when
get through just what is thought
of the old man"
The "old man." let us hope, will
have cause, after the poets and es-
sayists have gotten through with
him, to take courage and look for
better things.

GROWTH OF THE DIVORCE EVIL.

The federal government has just
published two volumes of statistics
covering exhaustively the subject of
marriage and divorce. Figures were
compiled from the most reliable rec
ards to be obtained, and may be &C
@epted as very closely approximating
actual conditions. In some of the
states such statistics have not been
accurately kept, and in others of
them they were not kept at all up
to few years ago.
The governments figures cover
forty years, divided into two equal
periods, the first ending in 1886 and
the second in 1906. Starting with
marriages, as that is a necessary pre-
iiminary to divorce, it is shown that
she marriage rate fluctuates to the de-
gree of the country's degree of pros
perfty or commercial depression. The
divorce rate, however, increases
steadily, but more rapidly when times
are hard. There are proportionately
more marriages in the south than any
8ther section of the country, and few
sr divorces in the south than in any
other section. III the United States
as a whole there are 357 marriages
per 10000 of population of mar
riageable age, or above fifteen years,
which is the highest rate of ~
country and is nearly approached by
emily Australia, Hungary and Saxony.
The number of divorces in 1867
the first year of the statistics-was
1891 Forty years later, in 1905,
the number was 1902. The first
is at the rate of 2S per 100000 of
population, and the second at the rate
of IS per 100000. The rate of in
crease was nearly three times, which
Is greater than the rates of increase
In population of marriages.
The government experts figure
that at the present rate in the United
states not fewer than one marriage
IN every sixteen will be dissolved Ill
timately by divorce, and that it
seems reasonable to suppose that the
rate will shortly become one to
twelve.
These facts and figures, says the
Savannah News, are so full of ire
mendous meaning for the home, the
family and the country that they cam
not be called dry" as statistics are
proverbially regarded They spell,
continues our contemporary, trouble
the decay of domestic life, the
cheapening of the most ennobling
sentiments and obligations, the weak
sning of moral fiber. Is it not time
that campaign of continent-wide
agitation should be waged against the
menace of the divorce evil?

the item was recorded in the daily
newspapers in an article of three
lines. Thirty-fve years ago this man
Scion Chase wastalked of much in the
United States, and he came very near
changing the country's financial sys-
tenn. He drove an OK team through
the country and addressed the peo-

him that we learned most of the talk
about "the masses and the classes"

used by spread-eagle orators. Chase
was one of the leaders of the green
back movement, which threatened
for a time to sweep the country.
