(Official City, State and County Newspaper) There’s Only One Way to Curb Divorces A western judge is arranging to install a micro phone in his courtroom and broad t the testimony in the divorce cases that are heard before him.| This, he believ so impress the citizenry gen- erally with the tragedy and suffering of the divorce | court that fewer divorce suits will be filed. It sounds well enough. But this jurist is mak- | ing the same mistake that nearly everyone else does when divorce is under discussion. He tackles the problém hind end to. For eliminating the divorce “evil” simply means | bringing about such a revolution in our ways and | characteristics that no one will any longer act onj impulse, be moved by selfishness or jealonsy, give way to anger, philander or lose tact. It means, in| knowledge of the Johnstown flood. These disasters | short, that when everyone in the country acts like a} cultured, intelligent, kindly person, we shall have no | more divorce. | And those of us who are not involved in these Divorces are rare between persons of real intelli- gence, They are rare where the two parties, ever. lacking intelligence of any high order, are yet un- selfish, tactful and desirous of making a go of it. They are extremely rare where there was any real love on both sides to begin with. There are a thousand causes for divorce. But al- most all of them have their origins in things that should be discernible before the preacher was called in. Unfortunately, however, no matter how many ““horrible examples” are spread broadcast, by radio or otherwise, a great many people are going to con- tinue to be petty and selfish and blind and—well, ,just plain dumb; so divorces will continue for quite @ time. The way out lies in raising the intellectual and spiritual standards and capacities of the ordinary slides, earthquakes and floods is not her tr ue mood, | T ereeae to exeuse me now be home to pack up. man and woman. There is no other way out and never can be. Repressive measures won't settle a thine. And remember this. The alternative to the Amer- ican system of easy divorces is the European sys- tem, where no one expects a husband or a wife to be faithful; where it is taken as a matter of course that they are merely enduring each other after the first year together, where every wife is expected to have a lover and every husband is expected to have a mistress. Our divorce situation isn’t so pleasant to con- sider. But the remedy will be a long time in com- ing, and things could be worse. Reality in Role of Cross-eyed Boy *A couple of fake religious leaders wandered into the city of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, the other day and anneunced that by the laying on of hands and by faith they would cure all and sundry of any ailments they possessed. In came the sick, the crippled and the malformed, by hundreds. There was much talk of the “cures” --that had been done. Everybody was happy. And then something slipped. Somebody led up: a cross-eyed boy. And that spilled the beans. The “healers” prayed and sweated and performed in- cantations without number, all to no avail. . The | boy’s eyes stayed crossed. The crowds lost their =-—--ieide.and the bloom went off the boom. -Mest of the striking examples of public enthu- ————siasm gone cockeyed don’t end in quite so ridiculous, a fashion. But it’s always somewhat similar. Someone always leads up a cross-eyed boy. 3 Ever so often, you know, large numbers of us get all tangled up with some dizzy scheme and aren't quite curselves for a while. A goodly multitude sat up all night a year or 0 1¢%» firm in the belief that the end of the world Was at hand. But it didn’t come and they went away cured. A lot of, us went nutty over M. Coue when he came to America a few years back. We glibbered his mystic formula in the fond belief that it would make the blind to see and the halt to run. But it didn’t, and presently wé found we were over it and «ble to go back to work. ~" “Or, to get down to a case a trifle more serious: nearly 10 years ago we got involved in a war. It * was to be a war that would end all wars and wipe away all tears, and most of us really lived in the belief that the world’s major troubles would slide -mway through the magic of war and the millennium would come as soon as the peace treaty was signed. But somehow it didn’t work: out that way. We discovered—in fact, we're still discovering it—that the way to make the world a better place is the 4 game old way: to work and sacrifice and struggle always for the good things, to support justice and ‘ fst kindness, neighhorliness and tolerance. So. _ .we got over our habit. of going about with our open looking for a,great light from. heaven... ‘and settled down to do our work again. It’s always the way.

It is announced that tank cars will be in regular service between Wisconsi d Miami and that 3,000 gallons of the lacteal fluid will be delivered in the Florida metropolis dail The milk tank car is Miami faced milk shortage. The production of milk in that district, it is urged, is almost negative and the imposition of the tuberculin test has been impractical. Importation of milk into Miami before has been from Ohio in regular refrigerator cars, but the method proved unsatisfactory. Milk of poor grade has been selling in Miami for as high as 35 cents @ quart. | Growth of any state depends. upon its supply of ; the chief foodstuffs. Florida’s supply seems de- ficient in many respests.

She emphasizes that girls of the ‘nineties were | “wasp-waisted and delicate,” and calls attention to the better health that prevails now. Yes, for all the ranting that you hear about the | modern girl—would you prefer the 1895 model to the competent, self-reliant girl of today? You know you wouldn’t. Don’t Be Envious Dispatches from the Dutch East Indies tell how ja motorist in a jungle road nearly ran down an elephant. The elephant, angry, picked up the auto and dropped it over the edge of a ravine. The man just escaped by a hurried leap. « Now don’t be envious of that elephant. It would be nice to be able to wreck the machine that nearly runs, you down, of course; but after all, it would hardly do. Elephants have privileges we pedestrians don’t. q'' , Editorial Comment | ' Another Farm Diagnosis (St. Paul Dispatch) Professor Walter Burr, sociologist at the Kan- sas Agricultural college, believes that (1) farming as & business can be successful only through co- cperative marketing, and that (2) our American farmers are not co-operative and ‘therefore that (3) we must teach them to become so, thus “here’s where the rural school gets its rush order from the administration.” He Perera his argument in the Independent. As to the first point, if it is true for agriculture the condition is peculiar to agricylture, since in- dividual success in other: businesses is to be seen ,on every-hand. This implies a handicap peculiar to agricylture, not placed on other. business. This imdicated handicap actually exists in the tariff as constituted. The way to remedy~the condition al- | leged in the first point, therefore, would appear to ! be -to remove. the handicap by adjustment of the ther business. As to the second point, it is a fact tam the great American co-operatives. American farmers appear to be as good co-operators as the javerage run of Americans. As to the third point | 5 in the chain, Professor Burr appears to be laborint: | under a misapprehension. The present generation | of farmers is asking relief” tor itself, not for pos- terity.
