EASY DIVORCES

The Chicago Record Herald COM
ments on easy divorces, showing the
United States ranks third in the list
OF countries where the marriage knot
is most frequently united. 1t says:
Statistics of divorce show that the
highest ratio of divorce to population
is found in Algeria, that next to Alg-
eria is japan and next to Japan is the
United States. The figures for the
three countries are: Algeria, 2SS d.
vorces a year to each 100000 of the
population; Japan, 215; the United
States, 70. But suppose we compare
the United States with other christian
countries. It Immediately leads the
procession and leaves a large gap be-
tween itself and its closest follower,
The figure for Switzerland is 80. and
Switzerland occupies second place. The
average annual number of divorces in
this country Is more than twice as
great in all other christian countries
combined.
Another comparison considers mar
riages and divorces together and is
brought to a later date, the first table
being for the beginning of the century
and the second coming down In MANY
cases as late as 1906. The number of
marriages to one divorce or separation
in this country is IL, while in Algeria
1t is 3, in Japan and in Switzerland
23 The facts were received In a. com
munication to the twelfth session of
the international Statistical institute
by Walter r. Wilcox. delegate from
rhis country, who indicated that the
increase OF divorces relative to popula-
ton has been at an accelerating rate.
the number Of divorces per 1OO,0 900 OF
the population rose from 27 in 1857 to
so In 1906. THE divorce rate relative
to total population was fully three
times as great at the end of the forty
year period as it was at the beginning"
Account Is taken of remarkable in
crease in the SOUTH, due largely to the
spread of divorce among the negroes
but the divorce ratio is largest in +he
western part of the country. We note
also as affecting the legal aspects Of
the case that the laws appear to he
better than their administration GET
is probable that not a few of the
recorded divorces, and perhaps an an
preciable proportion of them, might be
found invalid on either technical or
substantive grounds in case they be.
came the subject of judicial investiga-
ton"
mat Is an evil condition chat ought
not to be tolerated and that explains in
part our supremacy over other christ
Ian countries and our rivalry with
Algeria.

Trains Going West
STRIKE AIDS FARMERS

In some respect the strike of the
switchmen is assisting the farmers of
North Dakota in their policy of hold
ing their wheat. There can be no rush
Of grain to the terminal points, when
only an occasional freight is being op-
Grated. Some wheat has been taken
into Minneapolis and Duluth since the
Inauguration Of the switchmen's strike
but is was in cars that were in transit
at the time of the Inauguration of the
labor trouble. There is a considerable
amount Of wheat in cars on sideracks
and this will be moved as soon as
the people are supplied with fuel and
food.
The North Dakota farmers had COM
pleted their work and were ready to
market their grain more literally than
for some weeks. This tended to de-
press the market in spots-but che
strike came at a time when it saved
the farmers from themselves. OF course
there is danger of a great rush when
traffic is resumed but that is a some
what indefinite date, az this writing.

THE WHITE WAY.

The movement started last fall to
make white way" in Fargo Is pro-
crossing IL 1t is slower than
some had anticipated. The lighting OF
the south side OF Front street and on
Broadway between N. p. avenue and
Front has had good effect. The ma
terial is here for the extension OF the
system two more blocks north, and
some work will be done on the avenues
on either side. 1t will not be long till
N. P. and First and Second avenues
will be lighted and by next summer
the movement will progress north on
Broadway beyond Second avenue
The new system certainly improves
the appearance of the city and makes
a favorable impression on the visitors.

PREVENT MINE ACCIDENTS

The mine rescue station represents
one OF the most recent efforts made
by the government to reduce the num-
Der of fatal accidents in nnines-and
1t is but one feature OF general study
Of the causes Of mine disasters now
being undertaken by the geological
survey at the mine accidents station
In Pittsburg.
This humanitarian work was started
in July, 1908, by authorization of con-
gress, which appropriated $3.50 900 for
this purpose, after four explosions in
coal mines in December, 1907, costing
200 lives. These disasters startled the
entire country-and led to a general
inquiry into the death rates among
Ensners In the United States. statis-
tics gathered by the United States
geological survey showed 2,061 miners
killed and $500 injured in the coal
mines in 1906, and S,125 killed and
$500 injured in 1907. The death rate
for 1907 was 4.s6 for every 1000 men
employed. In 1908, 2,450 men were XIII
led, or $50 in every 1000 employed. a
reduction of 675 in the number Of
deaths from 1907 European coal prod
ucing countries show death rates IN
mining as low as one in every 1000
men employed. and not more than two.
In other words. for every man killed
In European coal mines, from two to
four are killed in the mines OF the
United States. Since 1889 more than
10000 miners have been killed In the
United States. The lower death rate
in European countries is due to the
establishment OF government testing
ataticns for the investigation or pro-
lens relating to safety In mining
acluding the use Of explosives.
The principal work of the Pit,sbura
station consists OF testing explosives

made Phenomenon by Professor.

Baltimore, Dec. Tit is no longer
necessary to travel across the deserts
of Arabia or Africa or over the burn
ing wastes of Arizona to see a genuine
mirage.
DR.. Robert w. Woods, professor OF
experimental physics in the Johns
Hopkins university, who is one of the
best known experimental physicists in
the field of optics, today showed his
classes and other Hopkins students
who were interested a miniature mi
rage that revealed perfectly the real
ness and vividness of the hallucination
common to travellers on barren,
sandy tracts
Professor Wood reproduced the
desert in his laboratory with a sheet
of iron plate about fifteen feet in
length covered with sand, under which
a series of gas burners were lighted
to heat the sand as 1t Is in the desert
A mirror reflected the sun upon a
white sheet of paper at on3 end OF
the artificial desert, the paper serv-
ing as clear skyline When the

KNOX AND ROOT


Former Secretary of State Root
spent great deal Of his time in an
effort to secure better understanding
with the Central and the South Amer
lean republics. The other day Secre-
tary Knox used shirt sleeve" dipIom-
acy-or a diplomatic club-or some
thing of the kind and went after Pres
iden zelaya of Nicaragua so hard there
were lot Of people alarmed. They fear
Knox win undo all those things which
Root had done.
The belligerent tone of the letter OF
the present secretary to some extent
justifies this suspicion. The letter
was couched In a language that could
scarcely be called courteous-certainly
not in the tone the secretary would
have used to power Of more import
ance.
This letter, however, doesn't neces-
sarily mean a departure from the
policy Of cordial relations with the
Latin states. Before his election as
president Mr. Taft was an earnest ad-
vocate of the Root policy. He has not
changed in his attitude in a general
way. Like Secretary Knox, the presi-
dent probably realizes that zelaya is
a pestiferous mischief maker and de-
serves what he got,
In a smaller way the Nicaraguan
president is something like Castro of
Venezuela and 1t requires a mailed fist,
rather than a kid glove to hold him in
check.
