Juggling of Marriage
Vcws Tries Law Makers
in Eternal Triangle

1t looks like the lawmakers of the
state of Washington are tired of the
eternal triangle, the get-married
d-get-diVorce-Cuick class and az
going to make it more difficult to
enter the marriage fraternity and
just as hard to get out of it.
People will certainly have a diff
cult time of getting married and
divorced if the reformers, ministers,
club women and club people of the
state who are tired Of seeing the
marriage VOWS juggled around care
lessly have anything to say about the
matter. Senator Walter S. Davis of
Pierce introduced bill in the senate
which makes it mandatory to pub

Urge Favorable Consideration.
Tuesday afternoon hearing on the
divorce question was held before the
judiciary and public morals commit
tees. Ministers, judges, and attor-
neys appeared before this committee
and told Of the laxity of the marriage
and divorce laws and urged favor
able consideration of these two meas
ures.'
Coming over to Olympia on his
own volition, Judge G. B. Holden of
Yakima made strong plea before
the committee for more stringent
divorce laws. During last year in
Yakima county, he stated, 800
divorces were filed, while 220 de.
crees were granted. According to
Judge Holden that should be the
number OF divorces for the entire
state in the year and probably would
be II the divorce laws were more
binding. =
II am here as self-appointed
spokesman for five or six helpless
children who will either be partially
or wholly orphaned before the next
session unless the legislature makes
divorce and marriage less easy" said
Judge Holden.
Judge Holden stated that he was
in favor of divorce in many cases
where the grounds were sufficient to
warrant a decree, but in many of the
cases grounds are insufficient and it
is the children who suffer for the
wrongs of the parents.
According to statistics that Judge
Holden had in his possession, Wash
ington leads all states in the matter
OF divorce.
Child Principal Sufferer.
''It has been proven that the child
is the principal sufferer, therefore
the state should take more interest
in its protection" says Judge Holden.
After three hours conference the
judiciary committee appeared to be
intent on going thoroughly into the
matter. 1t is hoped that the house
will pass remedial legislation en-
bodying the main ideas incorporated
in the draft made by the Seattle Min
isterial Association.
"There is statewide demand for
some tightening Of the divorce laws
and marriage laws" says Judge
Holden. 1.-THE chief fault Of the
present divorce law is the blanket
clause which provides that decree
of divorce granted for any other
cause II judge sees sufficient
grounds"

Buren was the first president-elect to ride in a train even part of the way to Washington, and the expansion of the steam railway system was begin hing 10 inhame the national imagi- nation.
 When the day of reckoning and re- morse came: when bread riots broke out; when laborers stood in line near New York to get jobs at wage of $4 a month and board; when banks suspended payments in coin, and when business houses were tumblng into bankruptcy, the bankers and business men. who had always been violently anti-Democratic, turned upon Van Buren and pointed their accusing fin- gers at the White House. The fore most man of business in conservative New England, Abbott Lawrence, did not hesitate to hint to public meet ing in Boston, the incendiary sugges- ton that the time might come for farcible resistance to the government, when the crew, as he said, would have to mutiny and seize the ship of state.
 Van Buren faced the gale without bending. He rose above political maneuvering and the temptation to fiatter the mad passions of the hour and preserved an attitude of mas terful inactivity
 The president did call congress in extra session, but only to recommend the adoption of the sub treasury sys- tem. The banks having failed he pro- posed that Uncle sam, like timid old woman, should lock up his money in the bureau drawer. And the economic folly of the sub-treasury was persisted in until the establishment of the fed eral reserve system.
 It was squally weather all around, with the costly Seminole war dragging its slow course through the malarial everglades of Florida with embarrass- ing revolutions on both sides of us, in the revolted Mexican province of Texas and in Ontario.
 The defeats of the Democratic tick ct in the off years plainly foreshadow- ed the ill-starred presidents own de- feat in his candidacy for reelection in 1S40. No prophet was needed to write the refrain of the popular cam paign song of the Wings:
 Van Van!
 Is used up man.
 Nevertheless Van Buren remained in active politics 10 years. For still an other 10 years he lived on in retire ment at Underwood. his country estate in his native village. where he died in the midst of the Civil war.

"HE most notable event of Van
 l Buren's administration was the occurrence of one of the great panics from which in the nineteenth century the country regularly collapsed every 10 or 20 years, as in 1919, 1887, 1S57, 1873 and in 1893. Those periodic prostrations always followed wild de bauches in speculation, but since 1t Is convenient and consoling to blame some one else for our own sins, the president invariably has been made the scapegoat ,n each period Of hard times.
 No doubt Jackson's removal of the public deposits from the United States bank caused financial disturb ance and his distribution of the fed eral surplus among the state treasur- ies also was disturbing. The govern ment, the banks and the people gen. orally had all merrily joined in sow Ing the wind, whose harvest was the whirlwind of 1887.
 The nation had been indulging in the first of its big western booms. The river steamboat aided to open up new regions, where mushroom states, in ambitious emulation of New York and its Erie canal, ran wild in appropria' tions for the building of canals. Van

that only few boys failed to return
after the holidays, while IL new stu

At chapel service last Wednesday

Top Minnows at Work.

The presence of little fish in the
bitches of the town has occasioned
a good deal of interest, and many
who are not acquainted with the
work of malaria control have won
dered why these minnows were plac-
ed in the drains of the city. They
are little health workers, eating the
larvae of the anopheles mosquito,
which, according to science, carries
the malaria germ around. The min
nows are helping to control malaria
in Bamberg. A recent Associated
Press dispatch from Washington says
of the top minnows:
The top minnow, wee fish, is do
ing its bit for the health and COM
fort of the American people. and
seems to enjoy the job.
It's popularity as an agent in the
control of malaria and destruction of
MOSQUITOES has spread considerable

Samuel F. Hildebrand, assistant OF
the bureau of fisheries, working in
cooperation with the United States
health service.
