Laying the Foundation.

Americans will rejoice in the fact that the re-

THE DIVORCE PROBLEM
By H. Addington Bruce

In my opinion there is only one really adequate
solution for the divorce problem. 1t consists in
education for marriage-education which shall De-
gin in the first years of life and be directed par
ticularly to developing moral control and unsef-
ishness.
And the divorce problem assuredIy is one with
which society needs to deal effectively. For the
past half century it has been steadily becoming
more serious.
In 1867, according to figures compiled by the
United States census bureau, there were only
9937 divorces in the entire United States In 1906
no fewer than 72,012 divorces we're granted.
Since then, it has been unofficaily estimated a
would indicate that one marriage In every twelve
ends in divorce. -r-
All marriages thus ending clearly marriages
that have failed. What the causes of failure:
From surface appearances they are numerous
and varied. Several times the space available to
me in this newspaper might be filled with mere
enumeration of the different for which di-
vorces have been granted.
But analyze these closely and it becomes evil
dent that in the great majority of cases selfish
lack of control is at the root of the trou-
BILE.
Marital unfaithfulness, drink, gambling, cruel
and abusive treatment-what these and all the
other common reasons for. divorce but manifes-
tations of se1fishness and lack of control?
And what selfishness and lack Of control
but bad habits, for which good habits might have
been substituted by intensive training in early
childhood?
People forget that character formation or de-
formation begins in the very first years of life.
They forget that habits acquired in childhood
will in all likelihood persist through life giving
the character beauty ugliness and affecting the
whole destiny for good or for evil
The little child who is allowed to have his own
way in everything, whose outbreaks of bad temper
indugently CLOSED over, this is precisely the
child likely in after years to figure in divorce court
proceedings. .
When he does reach the divorce court society
blames him and looks upon him with and
contempt. Better far to heap the blame and scorn
and contempt the parents, who failed to start
him thinking and living right.
1t is idle to talk of solving the divorce problem
by legal abolition of divorce. 1t is mischievous
suggest it's solution by trial marriages" as some
have suggested.
We must candidly concede that divorce actually
is only symptom of greater social evil-marital
unhappiness. We must recognize that marital
happiness is as a rule, product of the two bad
habits Observation-Disclosures and lack of control.
Attaching these by the one sure means of moral
education in childhood we may then, and then only,
hope to the condition out of which divorces
grow '=

Food Waste Is Criminal.

strongly the duty and absolute necessity of

mand-
Since the first OF April, 1917, the productive
power of the country has been lessened by more
than two million and it likely will be much
further strained before the is ended It should
also be remembered that the manufacturing
of the nation have been materially curtail
ed by the diversion of energies to the manufacture
of materials in and do not in time
of peace. The demands of soldiers and our
sailors come first and the individual who does not
willingly concede this, bending every resource to
meet conditions, is lacking in the first essen
tial of loyal citizenship. To the obligation
our men afieId and afloat must be added the just
demands of our Allies. We must largely supply
their armies and sailors well as and
measurably supply their population with food and
materials.
With lessened production and increased con-
sumption by own men and by our Allies

easily "go over the top if strictly. to the

A HERO EVERY DAY.

Brave Deeds of Men in Americas Fighting Service
Secretary Daniels has just commended Ray
Nye, chief gunner's mate of the U. S. navy, for
heroism displayed in jumping overheard from the

WHAT WAS 1T FORT

What appeared to be a very sinBu-
Tar and prevalent incident of tho
Non-Partisan League meeting at the
opera house Thursday afternoon was
the introduction of Rev. McKaig, the
first speaker. of a fulsome eulogy OF
Mr.. w. G.. Scholts, who seemed to
have lost his position as State Direc-
tor of Farm Markets through radical
difference of opinion between himself
and the Governor of the State. The
TIMES is not advised as to the de-
tails or actual merits of the case, nor
did the speaker attempt to inform
the audience thereof-except by as
sorting, In effect, that Scholtz was all
right and the Governor all wrong
a rather violent assumption
If the sole purpose of this by-play
was to exhibit MIR. Scholtz. it worked;
for at the supreme moment McKais
crooked his finger and Scholtz sided
out on the stage, made a bow and de-
clared his readiness to serve the dear

are concerned with the principles of
the league alone.
1t is frequently said that the Non
Partisan league simply revives things
advocated by the Farmers Alliance
and the Patrons of Husbandry This
is largely true and wholly immaterial.
The warehouse plan was advocated as
part of the sub-treasury scheme 1t
was not an invention of the Farmers
Alliance, something similar having
been in use in colonial days in sew
eral of the colonies. The Grange was
based on a real grievance, and while
the particular remedies for aggres-
siOns, due to railroad extortions were
often unscientific, the agitation re-
suited in a lot of wholesome legisla-
ton that modified the worst evils at
least
The camouflage regarding non-par-
tisanship is likewise ancient The AL
lance tickets were nominally non
partisan Old time Democrats and
Republicans and Greenbackers and
Union Laborites and United Laborites
got together land laid aside partisan
ship that is they laid aside the old
time craftsmanship, and joined the AL
lance party, afterwards called the
Peoples party. When they had time
they looked up the definition of the
word partisan and found that amy adj

of becoming what they denied being
or giving up their cause, they ac-
knowledged that they were partisans
