THE DIVORCE EVIL
Judge 5. S. Miner Deplores Its In
creaSe-TrOuble Makers to
be Adhered.

The Lansing Journal says: Judge
Selden S. Miner is serving his Sec
ond term on the bench of the 35tn
judicial circuit comprising the coun-
ties of Shiawassee and Livingston,
and he believes that one of the grav-
est problems which faces the United
States today is the proper solution
of the divorce question.
1T is enough to make any thought
full person pause and wonder where
we are headed" said Judge Miner
the other day. "It is one Of the fea-
lures of my position which gives the
gravest concern. The number of di-
vorces is increasing steadily; the
causes for which people lightly ask
separation after being Joined togetn-
er for better or for worse, are grow
ing more trivial. Before the next
session of the legislature i hope to
work out the provisions of some leg
islation which might check the flood
of divorces, each one Of which means
the wreck of home which was for
a time, at least, happy. Many Of the
DEGREES force children's futures to
be blighted; send them through the
world with the stigma of the child
of divorced parents; rob them OF the
fathers love and needed discipline
and of the mothers care"
Judge Miner tries conscientiously

Cargill-TyreIl.

Mrs. Rose Cargill, daughter of Mr..

to get at the bottom Of every di-
vorce action presented to him. He
takes q hand in the questioning OF
the parties to the suit, and also digs
into the testimony of the witnesses.
Wherever there is not such bitter
ness as to preclude reconciliation,
ne pleads with the husband and wife
to be reconciled, and offers his good
offices for the settling Of disputes
Frequently he holds up the DEGREES
for time, and urges the parties to
get together before presenting them
selves in court again. He has the
satisfaction of knowing that his per-
suasion and advice have prevented
,, several DEGREES from being demand
ed, the parties disseminating their
suits after listening to him.
He has a lively dislike for o cer~
tain class of witnesses. The neigh
bors who rush into court either as
champion of the husband or the wife
anxious to tell all they know and
thus satisfy a desire to NEEDLE and
private grudge as we'll, are made
to fell unwelcome in ,nis court. A
few weeks ago there was a case OF
middle-aged woman, who demand
ed, for trivial reasons divorce from
the husband with whom she had liv-
ed for twenty years. There was a
cloud of witnesses, and mos. of the
testimony was tittle-tattle. The
witnesses were in court when the

Instead of granting the separa-
tion, he earnestly urged the parties
