CURB DIVORCE,
JUDGE ADVISES
Reno Jurist Believes Solu-
ton of Problem Lies in
Home and Schools.

For ten years Judge Thomas F..
Moran has been hearing divorce
cases in Reno, New. The most novel
cause for divorce is an old story to
him. Scarcely a city in the United
States but has its man or woman
who has been given freedom by this
judge.
And now comes Judge Moran with
a curative for the divorce evil.
In an interview he discredited the
theory that divorces can be stopped
and marriage made happy by legis-
lation.
There Is no law which a legisla-
ture can enact that will improve the
morals of a country" he said. "Such
improvements are made generally
under the care and guidance of pa
rental training. with the aid OF
proper education.
THE solution of the divorce prob
lem lies in the home and in the
school,"
Urging that more safeguards be
thrown about marriage, the judge
gave a few words of advice for par
ents.
Parents" he said. should know
whom the children meet until they
reach an age where they can take
care of themselves. The father and
mother should tell the son and
daughter things relating to sex and
marriage before they can learn
these things improperly. The faith
er should be his sor's chum. Then
this boy will be better able to choose
the mate wisely and will himself
be better mate"
He estimated that he had heard
probably 1000 divorce cases during
his ten years on the bench.

Mrs. Spiker's S Mother Says

Mrs. Knowles says she believed her
daughter to be legally married to

reception accorded the young moth

"sca ndalous."

cent to see the man punished as he

HooOer Declares for League
AsLong Safeguards Us.
And Works for World Peace

sailles treaty may be proving i'm
practical. but instead OF sitting
with our associates In friendly ef-
fort to develop such changes as may
be demonstrated as necessary are
we, at Germany's and Austria's in
sistcnce. as equals In the new nego-
tiations to admit changes in these
provisions that will create antag-
onisms of all the allies?
I'm my view the soul OF the
league as an influence to che pre-
vention of war may havo died In
world antagonism long before we
can come to our Presidential cleo
ton.
League Not Mere Document.
Tho league Is not a document;
Ii 10 an organization OF the moral
sense of the civilized states. with
out their combined good will 1t
can never succeed In any event. The
league Is. of course. already in ac-
tuaf being among the other men,
bers. 1t cannot, however, become q
real beneficent force unless II con-
tains the support of all the great
powers, and this can only come
about by our entrance.
with us out 1t is in great dan
ger of developing into an organ
ization for the advancement of GER
tain national interests. and We may
find ii an economic, IL not q po-
iitical league, against Us for we are
the creditors of the world today.
The adherence to il of other coun-
ries in the Western Hemisphere my
direct their political perspective to
Europe instead of to the United
States. and . cleavage may be driv-
en- in the bond for peace that we
have striven to establish in this
hemisphere. Are any of these al
ternatives better to any one than
acceptance of the treaty as passed
by the majority of the Senate? Is
1T not a practical thing to ratify
ii and then to build constructively
toward peace and good will?
World Drifting Back.
IF the league proves a success
the world will readily grant ii great
er powers. All these are the Issues
of self-interest. There are greater
issues than these. Two years ago
with the entire world aligned
against Germany, our prayer was
that we were fighting the last great
war, that something better should
come to the world in return for the
sacrifice. Today the world is drift
ing back, and through our failure
victory may turn only to new an
tagonisms!'

The general will be co years old

national hero seems to have re-
juvenated him. At the Southern So

cal buoyancy, light-heartedness and

tantes and beamed upon dowagers
with equal grace. Pershing will be
a tremendous vote-getter among the
100000 women who, party man.

polls on November S.
Pershing will not engage in an
active candidacy on such lines as
Gen. Wood, for example, is pur-
suing. He apparently is going to
let his friends do all the canvass

his not very strenuous job of. wind

At one meeting i'm the Middle West,

don this treaty, Is that we ask Ger
many to negotiate a separate peace

selves from the allies and with
drawn any consequential army from
Europe. can We suppose that Ger

fighting again? We shall be in the

abandoned its allies after having
made an agreement with them, for
the main lines of the treaty, as dis
