ANY TO REMARRY Ramsdell, Pointing Out Evils, Proposes Amendment té the Constitution. FAST GROWING HERE. Twice as Many Decrees Grant- éd in United States Than in All Christendom. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—Divorce with the right to remarry would be Prohibited forever in the United States and tn all places under the Ration’s jurisdiction by an amend- ment to the Federal Constitution pro- posed fn the Senate to-day by Sen- tor Ranedell of Louisiana, Enact- ment of uniform mariage laws for all States and Territories, with provi- sions for separation without permis- aon to remarry, would be directed by the amendment. With the States of the Union Granting more than twice as many @ivorces as all the rest of Christen- dom combined, Senator Ranadell told his colleagues that the time had come for the nation iteelf to put down this menace to “the chief bul- | wark of society, the home—the maker @f good citizens and the model on which every wise government is founded. * “The remedy by constitutional pro- hibition is drastic,” said the Senator, “Dnt the malady is so fatal that @ething short of it will prove em- cactous. In the United States divorce fe spreading with alarming rapidity. It has permeated every walk of life and is prevalent among every class of people. The total number of divorces granted in 1867 was 9,987, or 37 per 100,000 pop i Fo 1906, there years |: were 72,063 divorces, or 86 per 100,000; tl in actual numbers there were more than seven, times as many di- » Yorces granted if 1906 as in 18 allowing for the increased popu! divorce had increased 319 per cent. “If divorces multiply at the same rate im the future as in the past—and there is every indication that they will increase faster—then before the middie of this century we will have annually in the United States 276 di- vorces per 100,000 population, or one divorce for every five marriages. “If the United States were to write ‘In the Constitution an amendment Prohibiting absolute divorce, it would Rot be taking such a radical *tep as ‘might at firat be thought, but would be following a beaten path.

There are already not a few persons who take seriously that hilarious impossibility summed up in the phrase “sex-antagonism.” The; notion is, of course, a piece of mental hysteria, and it shouldn't be allowed to spread. “You believe, do you not,” I put it| to Miss Powers, “that emancipated women will feel for men a decided increase of friendliness?
