LINKING THE STATE CAPITALS.

The Columbia Commercial Club
can do no greater work than to Sc
cure a National road-north to south.
Their action is timely. During the
long winter evenings, shut in by i'm
passible roads, the farmer will pom
der the value of good roads. The city
man is learning, too.
The people are realizing that with
out wagon roads the country would
stagnate and starve. And when they
see how large dividends the roads
pay, We shall have good roads everv-
where.
The building of good roads will co
far toward solving the city probleGi,
as well as the country problem. They
will do more than electricity, more
than all modern appliances, to make
farm life wholesome, social and pros-
porous. Then the boys will stay on
the farm. A score of lesser ecoD-
omic and social problems will admit
of easy solution.
A National road from Canada to
the Gulf will be built-part of q sys-
tenn of highways joining the capitals
of every state. This road certainly
should intersect the Old Trail Route
at Columbia.

1YPEwRlTERs CHEAPEN PAPER
They Don't Require Such Good Quail
ity as Pen and Ink.

dS Gil anu 1IlAs
The use of so many typewriters
has cheapened the quality of paper
used.
"A typewriter will write on a
much cheaper grade than will a
pen," said ]. L. Stephens of the
Stephens Publishing Company. Take
fer example this cheap yellow paper.
You cannot write on it with a pen
and scribble with a pencil, but it will
do for typewriter"
"Since typewriters are used so
much there is a large demand for
paper and this would call for a large
supply" said Miss Estelle Hickok,
stenOgrapher to President. Hill.
'The larger the supply of paper the
lower the price would be and this
would cause the paper to become
cheaper as the typewriters come
more and more into use There is
cheap grade of paper used to a
great extent now, but l prefer the
better quality for all purposes, as
the typewriter forms the letters
palmer and the paper looks much
neater."
In former years, before typewrit-
ers came into use, the people who
wrote much had to use a good quail
ity of paper, as they had to use pen
and ink. A pen could not be used
satisfactorily on a cheap grade, and
written with a pencil would
have been blurred in a short time.
Then typewriters came into use
and with them a cheaper grade of
paper. This does not mean that all
typewriting paper is of cheap quality,
as there are differences in the
grades of this as we'll as in other
things. But the price of all grades
becomes cheaper as the supply be-
comes larger.

A LITTLE NARROW.

Serious exception may be taken to
some of the comments made on Sat
urday's game by the Kansas City
Star. According to the Star the game
was rather fiat compared with for
mer contests.
No doubt the crowd was not as
large as it would have been in Kan
sas City. But the crowd is not every
thing. Many studsnts at Columbia
were given an opportunity to see the
big game of the season, which they
would otherwise have been forced to
miss. Likewise many students at
Lawrence will have the same oppor-
tunity next year. The game can
hardly be regarded entirely as a mon
ey-making proposition.
The Star complains that the frater-
nifty banquets and dances were not
what they would have been in Kansas
City. Possibly not, but there is little
doubt that, despite a slight incon-
venience, most alumni would rather
have their annual homecoming at
their Alma Mater than in another
city.
One thing that the Star failed to
dwell upon was the absence of rowdy-
ism which was notable at Columbia.
Experiences have been different at
Kansas City.

If you would be happy though

seems to have solved the question
better than most states in the union.
though just why no one can tell.
Statistics show there is only one di-
voice in every eight marriages in
Missouri. rare condition of stabil-
ity when one considers that Wash
ington has one divorce to every four
marriages, Montana one to five, Colo
rado. Texas. Arkansas, and Indiana
one to every six, California and
Maine, one to seven. The other
states of comparative connubial felic-
ity are New Hampshire and Kansas,
with the rest trailing along with SIM
liar ratios.
This is an age of divorce, alarmists
say and even those far more conserv-
ative than calamity howlers assert
that We are nearing a Roman deca-
dence in divorce at a perilous rate.
The United States leads in this mat
ter of broken family ties. In 1905,
when the divorces Of the rest of the
Christian civilized world numbered
10000, the United States alone had
1000.
And why? Sociologists advance
all sorts of glittering generalities as
causes. They speak learnedly of the
growth of wealth with it's subsequent
lowering of moral standards; they
cite the growing individualism of the
day when each man is a law unto
himself regardless of the common
good. They point out modern indus
trial conditions, the disruption of
homes through the labor of women
in factories, and so on.
OF course all of these are to be ac-
cepted, but they deal so broadly that
the average intelligence refuses to
grasp them. 1t sees only it's imme-
diate sphere and can look only into
its own and its neighbor's Heart for
its answer. 1t sees that Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith do not ''get along" and that
the JOnes's are not on speaking
terms. 1t notices that Mrs. Smith
is college bred woman with a wide
awake interest in life, while Mr..
Smith is an absorbed business man
to whom home is place to read the
morning paper and to sleep. 1t sees
her chatting at the dullness of her
four walls and her husband, and their
gradual drifting apart until the final
break. On the other hand the
Joneses are climbers and live beyond
their means. LimOusines mean more
than love to them and love can't
keep the pace.
MIR. Average Intelligence axes all
this to heart. He decides az discuss |

The Divorce Problem

can do very well with last years

rising standards of living and they
would say politely, Indeed, how

Lillian Glitter in The Love Waltz?
In a closer range of vision than the
sociologist's intellectual generalities.
and striking nearer home to the indi-
vidual, are a number of explanations
OF our divorce evil. A large majority
OF the divorces granted are sought by
women, partly upon the acquiesence
OF the husband and partly because
the woman is the wrOnged one. Mod
ern education for women seems to ex-
plain much of this. She knows more,
her outlook upon the world is broad
CT, she is more Independent intellect
ually and economically because of it.
Education of any sort besides the
most elementary sort for women is
less than half century old. Only In
the last forty years have women been
admitted to the great universities.
and only in the last decade have they
broken into the world of commerce
and become self-supporting. PrOba-
bly, this most of all explains her at
titude toward distasteful marriage.
Eer grandmother endured this be-
cause she had to be supported. The
modern woman does not.
This is an age of growth, mental
stimulus and the pace that kills.
Men and women both demand con-
tinual interest and action. Kaiser
Wilhelm's three Ks kinder, kuch-
ell and kirche" (children, cooking
and church)-no longer appeal to
her as the limits of her sphere. OF
course they are vitality interesting to

they were not, but they are not

other things. Therefore she revOlts
against the old, old double standard
of morality that man has made; she
demands something besides a house
to live in and bread-winner. She
