MILLION DIVORCES
IN 20 YEARS

in Less Than Ten Years.
SCANDAL IS INCREASING

Presbyterian General Assembly Hears
Startling statisties-Reform 10 De.
nnanded-"sad and Shameful condi.
tions Are a Disgrace to Christian
America"
Denver. Colo. May 22.-How in the
past twenty years nearly a million
divorces have been granted to mis-
mated men and women. how in nine
years in Pennsylvania the number OF
divorces has almost tripled and how
the evil mas grown to be almost a ma.
tional calamity. were features brought
out in the report of the special com
mittee on marriage and divorce pre-.
sented to the Presbyterian general as.
sembly.
The figures given in the report are
taken from the government census
and are surprising. The committee
makes some suggestions for the elimi.
nation of easy divorces and asks that
II be continued to carry on its investi
cations. The report says:
Scandal In Increasing.
that the scandal and sin and sorrow
resulting from the laxity OF law that
makes divorce and speedy remarriage
possible show sad and shameful con
tinuance. and that the Efforts to resist
and lessen these evils. that threaten
the permanence and purity OF the fam
lily life. the stability of the state and
the life and power OF the church
seem unavailing. yet the united efforts
Of the churches. OF national and state
officials and organizations of the Bar
Association OF the United States and
conspicuously the faithful and per.
sistent work OF the national divorce
congress. encourage us 10 believe that
the movement has made great pro
gress.
There Is a strong sentiment yet
against the enactment of a national
law regulating marriage and divorce
owing to the jealousy OF states to pre-
serve their rights. But the states
should seek the closest possible uni
formity and secure the least possible
perplexity and the best results for the
purity OF our people. and for the peace
and prosperity OF our Christian ma.
ton.
Statistics Submitted.
I'VE submit the following statistics: !:
I'm 1887 the total number Of d.
vorces granted was 27.sis. and in 1906.
72.O62. The total number granted In
twenty years was s45.625. Certain Of
the states granted divorces as fol.
lows:
Pennsylvania in 1887. 1897 di.
yorces, and In 1906. 3O27: New York
in 1887. 1912 divorces. and in 1906.
2O69; North Dakota in 1887, 81. and
In 1906. 500; Ohio In 1887, 2OO3 di-
vorces. and in 1906. 47S1: Kentucky in
1887. 949 divorces. and In 1906, 2O50;
Illinois in 1887, 1868 divorces. and in
1906. 5S43; Massachusetts, IN 1887. 752
divorces. and In 1906. 1910; Virginia in
1887, sos divorces. and in 1906. 1914.
Surely this surprising and alarm
ing Increase in the number OF divorces
granted should call halt. and impress
all who care for their country and love
righteousness with the necessity OF
discovering. II possible. the causes OF
such a condition and the possible cure
for such calamity"

President Roosevelt, along with the rest
Of his achievements the past eight years,
has touched up the code of ofhcial etl-
Quette and disturbed the dust about that
old Washington bug-a-boo In way that ,
the game or will furnish them with ample
precedent If they do not. The beauty OF
our movable code has long been apparent,
but it took the Roosevelt genius to make
demands on 1t. The laws of polite official
behavior had never touched at all on
what Presidents could do or should do.
The rules and regulations. probably fewer
mention lesser officials of the government
and their place at table or in procession
after the chief executive. OF the un-
written laws none was more to be re-
Spected In tne puDllc mlno tnan tndt
which forbade a President to pass over
the threshold OF a foreign embassy Of
legation. Somehow or other those who
used to think most keenly on the subject
felt that II this rule was disregarded the
country would be put in the position Of
accepting foreign patronage, and that the
results Of such an action must neces-
sarily be serious.
The Roosevelt mind did not work the
problems out that way. When one day
he wanted to pay a call of sympathy at
the British embassy, when Lord Paunce-
fote was on his death bed he went just
as another citizen would have felt free
to do.
His next visit to an embassy household
was when his friend. the late Baron
Sternburg was entertaining Prince Henry
of Germany. He lunched there on that
occasion with the German royal visitor.
The two were companions on riding trips
afterward.
Future visits OF Presidents to foreign
