EASY DIVORCES"
Tnes Nofnes Capita11

LDeS MONIES Cap1tal.J
The courts of the state are largely
responsible for "easy divorce" Judge
Byron w. Preston OF the Iowa supreme
court, in reversing a Polk county case
recently, pointed out plainly that there
is plenty Of law to put an end to legal
separations for "convenience."
Divorce cases are not pleasant for
the courts to handle. When it is pos
Of court and file stipulations In which
courts to consent to the agreement and
wipe the case Off the docket.
It is undoubtedly true, and we say
this in the light OF Judge Preston's re-
cent decision, that many divorces are
granted in Iowa where there are no
statutory grounds for q decree.
Judge Preston makes 1t very plain
that incompatibility OF temper Is not
ground for divorce in Iowa.
Quarreling over the teacups leads to
threats by husband or wife which may
easily end in divorce II the route thru
the courts is not made rough and diff
ficult.
The problem OF divorce in many cases
has come to be question Of settling
up the property instead Of reckoning
with the laws Of God and man.
II an agreement can be made as to
the alimony and who supports the chill
dren the balance is easy. Some Judge
Of the court will let the matter quietly
slip thru.
Polk county has had entirely too
much OF the easy divorce" and Polk
county members Of the district court
ought to get good lesson from Judge
Preston's recent decision.

There are only two instances OF
persons who went to heaven by special
TRANSPORTATION Elijah. who was
snatched up in a chariot Of fire and
Enoch who was translated-and it
must be admitted that some serious

Anyhow nobody ever made success
who didn't try. No mysterious power
reaches down and snatches the BUSH

professional man into a fine practice

You've got to be a candidate. Got to
stick around in the way. Got to have
something to trade. Got to trade it.
Anyway we must be candidates
either for success or failure. Every
body's a candidate for a competence

ply doing something Iowa has long
desired and intended to do and upon
which the leaders Of all factions and
men in whom the state at large rests
confident have advised and agreed up
on. As Shaw said no location is too
good for Iowa. Iowa should make the
improvement and those in charge Of
the work should see to 1t that the ex-
penditures are neither exorbitant or
stingy. 1t Is merely the common spirit
of Improvement that leads to improve
ments commensurate with ability and

York City. Mr.. Perry SHOWS that III

much higher than the rate at winch II
spreads in new localities. In other
words the actual results of the soclai
center are more effective in get'1tls
public support than the words Oh us
most enthusiastic champions.
The work is getting on more sofia
basis. Seventy-one cities had, during
the winter of 1928, paid workers tor
some form of social-center ACTIVITY
as opposed to forty-four the previous
season, and the amount expended IN
the maintenance of school centers mas
grown from s139, 535 in 1912 to SEA-
SIS in the past year. There are 1's1'
paid workers reported. This, with the
volunteer workers brings the number
OF persons engaged II soc!al-center
direction considerably above the 5000
mark.
That the general social and rec
reational possibilities Of the wider
use Of the school-plant'' movement
are making a constantly greater appeal
may be seen from the fact that in ssl
school houses there We're public en-
tertainments and lectures; in 4eS
school buildings there were open meet
ings Of adults to discuss local prob
lens; athletics or folk dancing in 474
schools: and social dancing in 100.
"A notable development Of wider
use" in 1928 was for election and
other civic purposes. Bailottng during
elections took place in 529 school
houses; 259 buildings were used for
registering voters; and political rallies
to the number Of 4S1 took place in
school edifices.
Mr.. Perry reports great difficulty in
obtaining exact statistics of social
center activities. Little uniformity OF
agreement exists as to what consti-
tutes a social center. Even the name
itself is not constantine institution
is variously reported as recreation
center" "civic center" social and rec
reation center" evening center"
community CENTER" etc. Some cities
have social center activities going on
SIX nights a week; while others open
their school buildings once or twice a
month.
We should, however, look beyond the
mere figures in judging social centers.
says Mr.. Perry. "Centers Of individual
growth and refinement, of civism and
social integration-that is what these
places are, and no system Of numerals
can ever be devised that will convey
an adequate notion Of the vitalizing
influences which radiate from them"

MERELY THE ELIMINATION.

Those who are inclined to give ear to
the fuss making over the extension of
the capitol grounds and the assertion
that the legislature was carried off its
feet by the work of a committee Of
Des Moines promoters will do well to
Annals of Iowa by Edgar r. Harlan.
The fact is that years Of purpose and
the urging Of many governors merely
eliminated in the action of the last
1egislaturew hen it proceeded to do
something definite toward the i'm
urovement Of the grounds. Mr.. Harlan
governors beginning with the second
biennial message OF William Larrabee
dn 1890 when the governor said:
The Improvement Of the capitol
grounds ought to be begun at an early
day. The grounds should be in keeping
with the capitol, which is one Of the
most beautiful on the continent.
In his first biennial message, Jan. s,
1900, Leslie NJ. Shaw recommended
that
The two blocks directly north OF the
capitol grounds be Immediately pur-
chased or obtained under condemnation
proceedings. Nothing will be saved by
delay and the erection OF substantial
buildings by the owners may material
~ add to the expense. No location is
too good for Iowa and none but the
best should be considered.
Warren Garst in his biennial mes
rage Of Jan. u. 1909. urged
A commission authorized to purchase
land adjacent to the ca pitol grounds,
with the right OF condemnation where
necessary, and with funds sufficient to
secure such land as may be deemed
necessary to provide bea utiful boule-
ward of approach and surroundings
Governor Carroll in his message Of
Jan. IA, 1913, advised the legislature
that "a comprehensive scheme for en-
larging the capitol grounds should be
adopted by you" and sketched the ex
tent of the additions to be acquired
His plan was similar to that adopted
by the legislature.
