 SELDOM KNOWN Technical Reasons Advanced
 Seldom Real Ones WANT ACCURATE DATA

Alcoholism Not Cause of Mental Disease, Says Dr. Grozeman. Farm Hygiene Presents
 Dreary Picture

Washington, September 26-Technical causes on which divorees are granted are seldom the real causes, declared the Rev. Dr. Samuel ". Dike, secretary of the Ma tional League for the Protection of the Family. in speaking today to the fifteenth International Congress on Hygiene and Demography. There is great difficulty in getting af the truth of divorce. Dr. Diks ass,ertea, wherefofo there is no reliable stafisticat information on the subject. Ambition for dress and social pleasures, he e1assed as a leading cause of divorce, with unwillingness to bear children, inliu- ence of sex vices, influence of property and quarrels over its distribution, made quate wages and innutritious food as other causes.
 "If. we are ever going to have Q clear idea of marital tendencies, said Dr. Fred erick l.. Hoffman of Newark, N. J., ''we must have accurate data on the divorce question. Proper statistical information is necessary to advance in legislation, not only on this subject but in all social problems
 The vital statistics section of the con- gress decided to present to the congress a recommendation that all countries make efforts to have accurate marriage and divorce information gathered.
 If alcoholism was the cause of mental disease we would all be imbeciles today, asserted Dr Maxmillian r. F. Grozeman, director of the National Association for the Study and Education of Exceptional Children, for our ancestors drank ex- cessively and took big night caps And, he added, "all the Germans would be im- heciles whereas they are nation of strong minded artisans and scientists"
 Intemperance, he said. was q disease and would occur in families suffering from mental weaknesses, but until it had been proved that it was a cause, 1t should not be elassed as such.
 Farm hygiene presents a dreary picture. according 10 pr. J. N. Hurty of the In- diana board of health, who told the dele gates that the farmer was in tde patent medicine stage" The life of farmers should be from 30 to 90 per cent longer, he said, most of ills which they suffered being self imposed

Springfield, Mass. September 26.-Greet- ed by cheering throngs Gov Woodrow Wilson, democratic candidate, spoke here today
 Both the regular republicans and the irregular republicans" the governor said. "are regular upon this point. Neither of them fails to stand pat on the tariff and neither of them propose to remedy the evils which are created by the trusts. have been reading messages which Mir. Roosevelt sent to Congress. In almost every instance he said and trusts have come about through natural develop fnent of business conditions and tt Is a mistake to try the process by which they have been built up and the only thing to do is to accept them as inevitable arr fangeinents and make the best qf 1t by regulation.' l answer that that results from confusion of thought. Big business on a great scale is evitable It Is de- sirable But if is different matter from the inevitable development of the trusts The trusts have not grown by themselves but have been bolstered by the deliberate will of certain men to the detriment of their neighbors.'

Third Party Votes Wasted

1hlrd farty votes NaSteu q think it is becoming clear to the business community and the working men that wasting their votes upon third party candidates is just as dan gerous to the preservation of the pro tective principle as voting directly Tor the opposition candidates.
 Tt seems to be the purpose of the third party managers to defeat not only the republican national ticket, but republican candidates for Congress, by skimming off just enough votes for their own candidates in every state and district to wipe out existing republi- can pluralities. The effect of this policy would be appalling if it should sue ceed It would result in the return of free trade democrats to Congress from district after district now represented by republicans. So far as the plan sue ceeded, there would not be left in Con- gress a corporals guard of members friendly even to moderate degree of protection. Even if Governor Wilson, elected President under such conditions, should repent of the extreme policies of his party and should veto measures aimed to carry out the policy of Champ Clark. of levelling the custom house to the ground, there would not be votes enough in the two houses to sustain the veto
 This Is tha road along which the third party candidate is seeking to lead the lcountry--not merely the defeat of a worthy republican President, but turn ling the country over, bound hand and foot to the mereies of radical majori- fy which would be too powerful even to be influenced by it's more sober and conservative clements. Former repnb- llicans who vote for the third party can didates are voting for this policy but from the reports which are reaching me from day to day. I am satisfied that most of them are beginning to under stand the danger and are turning back from the brink of the precipice."

THE THIRD PARTY.

There can br no doubt hut that Theodore Roosevelt and his fol- lowers are organizing lhiro party and propose to place a ticket in the field during Ihr com lIg election. or course the tick ct will have no bearing on the final result further than lu make more certain and mora nr0nOun- crd the dc feat of President Tafi. Already rcpUdiaIrd by a ronSid- rrahlr element of his party, who rcfuS" to exile Themselves from the regular organization. the Roosevelt propaganda will crys- taliZe an organization in uppOsi- tiun lo the regular nominee, striking the hardest blows where the President is the weakest.
 In the end, as We have here tofore said, it will make the de- feat of the Republican nominee more pronounced; but what of the man who loves to repeat that he IS Hloit pl NdilIoI illuI d prophet. To the diSintcrested citizen it. appears that il will take but little of a prophet to discern inc end of the Rough Rider, in solar as politics are concerned. In four years from now he will have so thoroughly diScrehited himself as IO haIp eliminated his personality from the political arena. but he will have left be- hind him seed which will grow with accclrratinn by reason of his active campaign against those things which Taft has represrnt- ed. He is responsible for the first great break from the ranks of the Republican party; he has clcavcd deep abyss between the rcac- fiOnarirs and inc progressive wings of his party. In one fhll swunp he has lupplrd over num- bcr of doubtful states into inc Drn!"rralic column, provided al WayS. IT," Democracy makes no nli~IHk"-.

CROSbYTON WINS IN
COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

Crosbyton scored another vital
point in the contest for the county
seat OF Crosby County yesterday.
when an opinion, signed by Chief
Justice HUFF was handed down In
the Court OF Civil Appeals. affirming
judgment OF the lower court.
The law allows a specified time
In which motion for rehearing may
be filed. Should this period elapse
before the necessary action is taken.
the final chapter in this interesting
litigation will doubtless have been
written.
The case which was appealed 10
the Court OF Civil Appeals was re-
yersed and rendered during the last
term. Questions were then certified
to the supreme Court of Texas, which
handed down an opinion reversing
and remanding the case.
Peculiar features, centering abou,
the exact central point OF the county
made the contest an unusual one
and presented technical points for
consideration OF the higher courts.
The citizens OF Crosby county by
a heavy vote decided that the seat OF
the county should be removed to
Crosbyton from Emma. and the con
test. which has been keenly waged
grew out of that result.
