LOOSE DIVORCE LAWS.
II the Natural Orphan Is an Object Of
Sympathy, How Much More So Is
the ArtificialIy Made Orphan.

In commenting on the three
young men that were sent from
our county to the Huntingdon
Reformatory at the June term of
court, the Fulton Democrat SAID
that Cugston S mother and father
separated when Fred was quite
young. Mlller's father and moth
er separated when he was a mere
child and Rankin Keith's mother
died when he was a child. So it
is IN many cases, If a boy does
not have the tender care and ad.
wee of a mother, he Is at a disad.
vantage in this world.
This observation of the Demo.
crat led the Chambersburg Val.
ley Spirit to say that the child
that has lost its mother by death
is indeed to be pltled. The inau.
ence of mother, and her loving
care and aifectlonate guidance Is
what has brought the human race
from mere animalism through
savagery and barbarlsm to the
height of civilization that it now
occupies, and the end is not yet.
We may go so far as to say that
even a bad mother Is better than
none at all.
What then shall we say of the
laws which by too easily grant
ing divorces have turned our
courts into a mandatory of artl.
ticlal orphans? What shall we
say of the latest horror that has
been perpetrated by our own
state in increasing the ease of
getting divorces, so that if one is
rich enough 1t Is not only easy
but rather pleasant to put away
a wife, without even the pretense
of a trial by jury, without those
ancient safeguards that the good
old English common law threw
about even the humblest citizen
to protect him or her from OPP
preston and injustice.
The Legislature that framed
the law and the governor who
signed it have done an lnfamos
thing in striking this gratuitous
blow at home and the family. If
this law Is permitted to stand on
the statute books countless mum.
bers of boys and girls deprived
of the maternal care that divine
providence intended for them,>
will go the way of these poor
Fulton county boys, the way of
vice and crime to the prison and
gallows.
Does not each one of us remem
her the mother love and what 1T
meant to us all our lives? The
love that approaches more near.
ly to the divine than anything
else in human nature?
Intellect, sagacity, patriotism
bravery, all are sometimes re-
ferred to as Godhke in their
quality, but the purity of a moth
er's love is Int from the great
white light that streams from the
throne of God itself.
We pity from our hearts the
poor boy who was recently con.
vcted in Fulton county whose
loss of his mother came by ma,
lures law, but, oh, far more
pltlable is the case of those other
two who were separated from
their mothers through parental
selfshness aided by a Vicious and
degenerate law.

Line Of Athletic Endeavor-
Some Of the Feats He Has
Performed.

CARLISLE, Pa, Nov. 1G.-The 1911
football season has brought into the
public eye a young Indian student at
the Carlisle school who promises to
become the greatest all around ath-
lete the world has ever seen. James
Thorpe, Sac and Fox Indian from
Oklahoma, came to Carlisle in 1908
with no knowledge whatever Of ath-
letics, and since then he has accomp-
lished such marvellous variety OF
athletics feats on floor, gridiron, dia-
mond, track and field, that the world
of college trainers has been astonish-
ed by his achievements.
1t is difficult for anyone to believe
that an apparently normal youth
could rank among the leading athletes
of the world in more than one or two
or perhaps three-special lines OF
activity, but James Thorpe has broken
| all traditions by approaching world
records in so many lines that physical
trainers are at loss to account fol
his feats of strength, speed and en-
durance.

Philadelphia, he took first place in the
five events mentioned above.
In his second year at Carlisle he
was a first substitute on the football
eleven and played in several games.
The next year he played regularly at
left half and began to show steller
qualities. He punted well. kicked field
goals and scored the touchdown tying
Pennsylvania. After school in 1908
he took his summer vacation and did
not return in the fall, although his
term of enrolment here had not ex-
PRED. He returned to Carlisle this
fall to complete his enrolment term
and it is believed that his ambition
to become one of the men chosen for
the Olympic games was factor in
bringing him back, as his opportunity
for training at Carlisle would be bet
ter than elsewhere.
Although busy with track work
while here, he practiced baseball and
played amateur baseball since leaving
Carlisle, refusing numerous offers to
play on the minor league teams.
