X. U. MAN WANTS EASY DIVORCE.
Professor Blackmar Would Throw
Restrictions to the Winds

Lawrence, KAN. Jan. 17.-'Divorce
is natural. Divorce is a good thing
When man and woman can not live to-
gether in peace or with willingness it
is time they were parted. But the
rapid growth of divorce indicates evils
which are not apparent on the surface,
and it is at these evils that the laws
OF the country should strike and not
at divorce itself as an institution
This Is the statement of Prof. r. w.
Biackmar OF the sociology department
of the University of Kansas in a lee
ture to the class in sociology
Professor Blackmar would not sever
restrictions on marriage He would
compel persons contemplating mar
riage to first pass a physical examina-
ton and then he would have them an
nounce their engagement few months
ahead and a legal notice of their in
tent1on to marry published in the pa
pers.: In this way, he believes, hasty
marriages could be avoided, and those
who marry would be more apt to do
it deliberately.
After he had made it as hard as
possible to get married Professor
as possible TO get a divorce. In speak
ing of this he said: -.
Il DO not believe a man and woman
should continue to live together after
they wish to sever the bonds, but that
statement must have some oualif1ca-
tons. The man has assumed some re-
sponsibilities when he takes a wife
Which the law should not allow him to
shirk. He should be forced to care for
the wife and children he has. But
the state should begin at the beginning
of the marriage relation to eliminate
what is known as the divorce evil
1t should exercise more precaution in
regard to ri1ose who enter the mar
ried state and then it will have less
occasion to exercise Jurisdiction in the
break & UP of the marriage relation.
The rapid growth of divorce is one
OF the alarming problems of society,
and the state must get at the cause
of divorce itself for thai is only the in
dication of an evil that lies beyond
the divorce court and starts when the
state says TO all:
Come, and we will marry you"

The Plaintiff Is Pretty.
Miss Carter, who is very pretty and
who has all the appearance of an edu-
Gated, refined woman sat in the wit
ness chair and in a well modulated
voice read, without tremor, the mes
sages of love and endearment which
she says Rinker wrote to her. She also
read letters written by herself to
Rinker. Most Of the letters, which she
alleges R1nker wrote to her were ad-
dressed to 81. Carter, Esq. 1922 East
Twenty-second street. Kansas City,
Mo-" Miss Carter said the reason of
this form in addressing the love-
messages was due to Rinker's fear OF
fined $500 three years ago in Judge
John c. Pollock's court for sending
obscene letters through the mails.
''My Dear, Sweet Little Girl" was
the opening sentence of a letter which
Miss Carter read and which she al
leges she received from Rinker Febru-
airy, 1907. 1t continues:
Love Letters Are Read in Court.
''I must say that have very lone
ly time since 1 left you. If you only
knew the warm spot that is constantly
burning and aching for thee. 1t is
then and only then that my soul in one
unbroken sigh breathes forth its love
for thee and only thee. The bells of
Shandon that ring far out over the
river Lee never sounded more precious
and dear to anyone than your voice
does to me- oh, could but press the
button that would draw US near and
taste the sweetness for me alone in the
arms and on the bosom of baby mine.''
Another letter read said:
"You need not fear of our separa-
ton, only as I told you in my former
letter, and that is DEATH"
In a letter received by Miss Carter
on March Is, 1907, she is referred to
as s'wife.''

FOUND OLD INSURANCE POLICY.
Poverty Stricken Troy Woman May
Secure Small Fortune.

Troy, Kan, Jan. 17.-An unusual
suit has been filed here today. Some
years ago John D. Penny took out
policy for $4,000 in the Union Mu-
tual Insurance company. He paid the
premiums on the policy for three
years, and then ceased to make the
yearly payments.
The policy provides that if the pre-
niums are paid for three years and
then stop that the insured is paid up
for about nine years. About two years
ago Mr.. Penny died and left his wife
and children destitute, his wife being
obliged to take in washing to support
herself and children.
A month or so ago Mrs. Penny was
looking over some old papers and dis
covered the policy. She demanded
payment from the company. NO set
Element could be made SO suit has
been begun for $4,000 the face Of
the policy and interest.

MUST PAY A HIGHER LICENSE.
Soldiers Are Non-Residenfs and Must
Paw n SIS Fec


Junction City, Kan, Jan. 17.-Game
Warden Bader has received an ans
wer to his inquiry as to whether or
not officers and soldiers of the regu-
lar army are entitled to hunt in the
state of Kansas upon payment of a
residents license fee of 81.
The letter states that officers and
soldiers are not residents of the state,
and that the fact that they dwell in
an army post or fort within the state
does not make them such. Therefore
army men must pay a residents
fee Of SIS before they can legally
hunt off the reservation.
There are exceptions to this rule,
however. One of them is that il a
soldier is married and his family re-
sides outside the post, he may obtain
license for the sum of 81, the same
as any other resident. If man en-
lists from this state he may also take
out one of the 81 licenses. In all 9TH
-er cases the nonresident fee of SIS
is required.
According to the estimation of Mr..
Bader there were about 100 army men
who took out licenses the past season
at the rate OF 81 each. Had all of
them taken out the nonresident Ii
cense, as they are by law required to
do, the state would have been about
$1,400 better off.
