Whnt of Tax scrrernt,on,

i would like for those who advocate
segregation in the matter OF taxation
to show IL segregation has been tried
by any of the States. And IL so with
what success.
Does segregation mean a reduction
OF our already heavy burden of taxes?
You may say that it is spending the
greater part of our taxes at home.
Yes. 1t is. But there is much money
wasted at home. How much is wasted
In mudholcs every year? Twenty
years ago our revenue for roads i'm
this district was less than one third
of what 1t is now, and we had as good
or better roads than we have to-day.
don't mean by this that there is not
an eNtravagant waste by the state. I

Not without merit is it asserted by
the shoe manufacturers and dealers
who are fShting pure shoe legisla-
ton that the substitutes are superior
to leather. and that an exclusively
leather product would advance the cost
The public would have to bear that in
crease. Pure shoe" legislation has
mace poor progress; there is little
ground for believing that much is to
be accomplished in such direction.

A CIVIL CONTRACT.
Marriage is besides being a divine
institution, civil contract in which
the party of the first part and the par

agree to do certain other things which
are reasonable in a contract. A within

dissolution is through the door of le-

Yet the first couple l married were

peramentally the antipodes of the 9th

The divorce court seemed the only
solution to their woes.
Right thinking people deplore that
the divorce court is a necessity-its
good is mixed with a great deal of
harm. 1t is too often sought and too
lightly held. Like poison, it should be
taken advisedly and in minutest guam
titles.
1t is deadly as well as dangerous,
and the strict stand of the church and
clergy is it's safeguard.

CRUELTY PLAYS A PART.
Cruelty plays large part in divorce.
Twenty-seven men in every hundred
have been intolerably cruel to their
wives. The gentler sex has a better
record for only ten in one hundred are
AmazOns who have beaten up their
man.
The covenant betwixt them made"
is soon forgotten and the reasons for
the severing of the divine knot are
from reasonable to ridiculous.
Everything is cause" from the
shadow of the seventh commandment
, to the scent of cloves on the breath
of a late-coming husband.
Divorce has come to be more than
an evil. 1t is a plague.
Statistics show an appalling condi--
ton.
Twenty-eight wives in one hundred
divorces have lost their wifely honor
and have gone astray. The modern ex-
pressions soul mate" and affinity"
have disguised a long suffering public
and have degenerated to become syn
onyms of passion, infatuation and ami
NAL desire.
The sages are working on the prob
lem as to which sex is at fault, the
male or the female-the husband or
his wife.
When the Divine Moulder was fash
ioning his clay after-thought, his SUI
preme effort was woman. She was
bit of the best clay from mans side
that lay close to his heart. 1t is the
