NATIONtL MARRIAGE LAWS.

A set of proposed amendments to
the state marriage and divorce laws
will be presented to the General As
sembly of Missouri this winter by w.
W. Wright, divorce proctor of Kansas
City. He says that the present laws
are too lax 1t is interesting that out
of his practical experience Mr. Wright
has come to nearly the same conclu-
sions as several sociology professors
who are sometimes called theoretical.
The amendments include the estab-
lishment of a court of domestic rela-
tions. physical certification before
marriage, six months publication of
marriage banns and prohibition of
marriage by certain classes. A di-
vorce when granted is not to be final
for a year. and the defendant is not
to be allowed to remarry during the
life of the plaintiff.
The adoption OF these suggestions
would undoubtedly be forward step
for Missouri. but their immediate eff
feet would be that the persons they
seek to reach would merely go across
the state line for their marriage or
divorce.
1t would seem that this is one sub
ject which must be treated by the ma
tional government if any thorough
end is to be accomplished.

ABOUT CHILDREN'S HEALTH.

Figures may not lie but there are
times when they can produce some
very erroneous impressions. A good
example is contained in a statement
issued recently by the Bureau OF Ed
ucation in Washington, ID. c.. regard
ing the physical condition of school
children in this country.
The statement contains figures
gathered by Dr. T. NJ. Wood, profess
sOr of physical education in Columbia
University. He claims that fifteen of
the twenty million school children
Need attention for physical defects.
We are led to assume a deplorable
condition of health is the rule among
these children.
We are willing to accept the find
ings of the examination without
doubt. We know it's true that the
perfect physical specimen has yet to
be discovered. In making the test a
high standard was used. The slight
est deviation from this standard
meant an imperfection in the child.
And the examinations were made
chiefly of children of the city. School
children of the country seldom need
a doctors care.
Statistics show our children are in
creasing in height and in weight, and
that the mortality rate is decreasing
every year. There's certainly no de-
terioration among them. We refuse
to be alarmed at Professor Woods
findings.
We can't all measure up to stan
dard of physical perfection. Some o!
us must be fat, some tall and slen-
der. but that's no hindrance to sue.

Wilson is a real and sincere Pro-
gressiye. He has proved it by his
course and conduct as a public officer
and as a candidate. He is running
on a sane progressive platform.
Nothing OF benefit to progressive
principles or honest politics can be
gained by voting for either Taft or
Roosevelt The best service Progress
sive Republicans can render to their
party and to their country, under these
unfortunate circumstances, is to vote
for Wilson 1t will help to teach dis
honest manipulators Of politics a
wholesome lesson.

wise. TAFT cannot carry California.
Therefore a vote FOR him is a vote for
Roosevelt and the destruction Of the

feated the Republican party can be
reunited as a progressive party, as it
WAS before some Of its members were

be its leaders, and who care more for
political success than for the honor

SENATOR WORKS URGES
ELECTION OF WILSON

Washington, oct. 15-United States
Senator John D. Works OF California
issued signed statement charging
the Progressive third party movement
in California with gross fraud and ask
ing ali Progressive Republicans to
vote for Gov Wilson for president. He
also pointed out the impossibility Of
the Republicans carrying California
for Taft, because Of the manner in
which the Bull Moose leaders Of that
state fraudulently entered and cap
tured the Republican primaries, and
no advised all Republicans in Califor-
MIA and in other states where Taft
electors are not on the Republican
ballot, to vote for Wilson.
Senator Works outlined the manner
IN which the Roosevelt men, not en-
titled to a place on the ballot at the
primary election, caused their candl.
dates and voters to swear that they
were Republicans in order to enter the
Republican primary to nominate fol
office on the Republican ticket men
who were not Republicans, but mem
bers Of the third party
The statement pointed out that
these persons, by means Of false affi.
davits, obtained control OF the Repub.
liean state central committee of Cali
fornia and permitted third party men
to act in Republican convention un.

'The right and hon rable thing for

do that they would lose the votes Of
Progressive Republicans who did not
