less than one absolute divorce year
for her entire population OF 100000.
III the United States We're to write
in the Constitution an amendment
prohibiting absolute divorce it would
not be taking such a radical step as
might at first be thought, but would
be following a beaten path.

-forbids divorce. 1t is absolutely
prohibited in Italy. Spain and to two
thirds of the population Of Austria
Hungary. while the Latin American
countries Of Mexico. Argentine Re-
public, Brazil, Peru, Chile and others
have similar laws.
1T cannot be gainsaid that divorce
destroys the home. And the home is
the base and foundation of the
State. hence we must stop divorce or
ruin the State. which cannot continue
to exist if its base is allowed to

ABSOLUTE DIVORCE NOWHERE
Louisiana Senator Would Amend
Federal Constitution

Washington Feb 6.--An amend
ment to the Federal Constitution for
bidding the granting OF absolute di-
vorces with right to remarry was
proposed in the Senate Wednesday
by Senator Ransdell of Louisiana.
He made a brief speech in which he
deprecated the growth of divorces.
The amendment proposed was as
follows:
Section l. Absolute divorce with
right to remarry shall not be per-
mitted in the United States or in any
place within their jurisdiction. Uni
form laws in regard to marriage and
to separation from bed and board
without permission to remarry shall
be enacted for the United States and
all places subject to them.
Section ?. Congress shall have
power to enforce this article by ap-
propriate legislation
1t is said that in New Orleans
there was one divorce for every four
marriages last year and that this
moved the Senator TO act. There is
one State in the Union in which alb
solute divorces are prohibited
South Carolina.
Addressing the Senate on the mcr-
its of his resolution Senator Ransdell
said
THE remedy by constitutional pro
hibition is drastic, but the malady is
so fatal that nothing short of 1t will
prove efIicacious. Almost every one
who has given the subject the slight
est study admits that divorce is one
of the most serious problems con
fronting our republic.
THE total number of divorces
granted in the United States in 1867
was 1887. or ~ per 100000 popula-
ton. Forty years later, in 1906,
there were 72,O62 divorces. or So PEI
100000. Thus there were more than
seven times as many divorces grant
ed in 1906 rs in 1861 or, allowing for
the increased population, divorce had
increased 3l9 per cent. To put 1t in
another way, in 1867 there was one
divorce for every 1905 persons,
while in 1906 there was one for every
l,1G2.
III divorces multiply at the same
rate in the future as in the past
and there is every indication that
they will increase faster-then be-
fore the middle of this century we
will have annually in the United
States 275 divorces per 100000 per-
sons, or one divorce TO; every five
marriages.
Our closest competitors in Europe
are Switzerland, with Al divorces an
nually per 100000 population. Hun
gary with 50 and France with 80. &C
cording to the statistics for 1910 and
1911, while Japan has 2l5 divorces to
our So.
During 1901 the total humble, OF
divorces granted in the United
States was more than twice as great
as in all the rest of Christendom com
bined; yes. actually more than two
times as many divorces among 49,
100000 Americans that year as
among the 4O0.000.O00 souls OF
Europe and other Christian coun-
tries.
England in 1911 granted coo di-
vorces, or l II per 100000 popula-
ton. while in 1906 the United States
allowed 72.062 divorces. or Sc per
100000. During the twenty years
ending with 1906 Ireland had only
nineteen divorces. or an average Of
