And Child
rem An Antidote
For Divorce Evil

Judge Thomas B. Buckner, form,
erly Of this city, well known in Mex.
leo and a brother of R. R. Buckner
of Mexico, is a circuit Judge in Kan.
sas City and in the past few days has
had to rule on a large number Of
divorce cases. The following inter.
view with him on the modern divorce
evils taken from the Kansas City
Star. 1t follows:
Divorce" unused Judge Thomas
B. Buckner, as he sat in his chamber
after the mornings grind.
1T is my observation, after many
years on the bench, that a sexual
cause lies behind it all. In two-thirds
of the marriages, l believe women
start with the idea of having no chill
dren. They resort to any practice to
prevent motherhood. They become
broken in health; the husband is at
tracted to another woman. The i'm
morality of the husband is frequent
ly caused by the wife. Such is the
history of hundreds of cases that
have come before me.
A Leap-Then Trouble.
Too few women who marry now
seem to recognize their part in the
contract" he continued. They iump
into marriage, believing it the end of
their troubles. Sometimes they
are working girls, tired of supporting
They care little about
establishing a home. They spend ev-
erything. In the cases l have heard
have made a point to ask if the fam
lily has its W home, and the number
of cases where there are homes and
children is negligible. A home and
children which will bind the interests
Of husband and wife seem to me to be
answer. at least, in part.
My father used to say, if a man
has almost enough money to get
its a poor sort Of woman who
ant make it reach and I think of
hat when l hear these complains a.
bout non-support."
