BY bringing the various boards and

to Annapolis, there would be a greater
unity in the administration. and in ad-

you think on this matter of divorces
yourselves. Take your own communi-
ties. think of the divorces which have
been granted in recent years with
which you are familiar Read the
dockets of your circuit courts and see
their preponderance. Examine the
newspapers day by day and see the
cases cited, and contrast that with the
country a half century ago, and you
will realize the great increase in the
divorce evil.
At the present time divorce is an es-
tablished custom; indeed. it has to a
certain extent become fashionable. We
have a city in one of the states of the
Union that has acquired an unsavory
reputation by the lax of its divorce
laws. Reno and divorce has become
synonymous. How then do we stand
when this matter of national morality
is weighed on this point? Does the
number of divorces now compare ia
vorably with the numbers granted in
years past? Emphatically no. So
you see We have failed on the first
point of the morality test and have
been proven deficient in this respect
Let us now take the next step of the
test The number of illegitimate chill
dren. ! will not dwell on this partic-
ular phase of the subject, for it is un-
necessary. as | think you all fully
realize the fact that year after year
the number of these unfortunates
steadily increase. l will only call your
attention in passing the treatment of
this question and the exposures made
recently, by the Vice Commissions re
port on conditions in Baltimore city
alone You were all unpleasantly
shocked to read the facts as they APP
peared in the cold light of scrutiny
But the only trouble with the Commits
sion's report is that it was not half as
bad as the real conditions are: they
made the best examination possible
with the time, money and facilities at
their disposal, but they did not fully
expose the true conditions of affairs
The facts as they were are bad enough
and you have but to multiply the in
crease in illegitimacy in Baltimore
city by the ratio that the popula-
tion of the United States to as
certain the astounding figures which
show the tremendous scope of the par
ticular branch of the moral question
SO you see we again ring false and fail
on the second point of the morality
test. Not only fail. but this time We
fail miserably.

WESTERNERS WHO
FAVOR WEEKS
FOR PRESIDENCY

Washington. Feb. 2.-(Special)-
The Presidential candidacy Of Senator
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts,,
continues to gain strength in the
Northwest, where he has always had
strong following. During the past
week two prominent citizens Of that
section. both Of whom are leaders Of
political thought in the Northwest.
have given out statements indicating
that the state of Washington will sup
port Senator Weeks at the Chicago
convention. The statement Of Hon. z.
A. Sims, a member Of the Washington
state legislature, appearing in several
Western papers, is as follows:
(; During my recent visit at the ma
tional capitol, l carefully analysed
the statements Of the press and the
views Of those interested in politics,
have talked personally with most of
the presidential candidates, and after
mature consideration and thought.
have arrived at the conclusion that
the Hon. John W. Weeks of Massa-
chusetts, is the proper man to head
the Republican ticket. l met Senator
Weeks and l was very much i'm
pressed with him; in fact SO i'm
pressed that l have decided that the
state of Washington could do no bet
ter than to make him their choice in
the convention. and / want to impress
my friends as / have been. so that we
can get to work with one idea, and
that is the election of Mr.. Weeks 70
the White House"
The other Westerner coming out
this week for the Massachusetts sena-
tor is William Jones of Seattle. a
delegate TO the last Republican ma
tional convention, and probable
delegate to this years convention. Mr.
Jones gave the following statement to
the Washington Post during his visit
in this city:
Il believe Senator Root would have
had the Washington delegation at
Chicago had he not eliminated con-
sideration of his candidacy. There is
a very strong sentiment for con-
servative candidate. and l should not
be surprised now to see Senator
Weeks the choice Of the state Of
Washington" ~
Advices recently received in Wash
ington from Missouri indicate that
the first county. delegates elected to
choose delegates to the Chicago con-
vention, are supporters Of Senator
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts. for
the Presidency.
Il am one of the number selected"
says a telegram reaching Washing
ton from Missouri. and can assure
you that all from this county will vote
: for Weeks delegates I have heard
from most of the delegates. and the
; district is for Weeks, beyond ques-
ton"
The supporters Of Senator Weeks
have always felt confident of strong
support in Missouri. and the assur-
ance that the first county delegates to
be chosen are for the Senator, is very
gratifying to them. Congressman l..
&c. Dyer of Missouri. and commander
in chief of the Spanish American
War Veterans. predicted several weeks
ago that the Massachusetts senator
would have the solid vote Of Missouri
in the convention, and that he would
receive the Presidential nomination
. on the third or fourth ballot.
