(Continued from Page One.) years which was partly the occasion of the debt, was dimply the result of our effort to accommodate the Increasing number of students. Our doubled enrollment In a few years spoke eloquently for the confidence of parents in a school striving to develop symmetrically the Intellectual, social, moral and religious tendencies of their children. "But the campaign of forty days which has now reached such a happy issue afforded an opportunity for our friends to demonstrate their appreciation in a somewhat spectacular way. The response to our appeal was so prompt, so cordial and so widespread as almost to startle us. Now that there has been a little time to reflect upon the matter, we appreciate the added responsibility which this confidence brings with it."

SENATOR CLAPP IS FOR JLAFOLLETTE Favors Nomination of Wisconsin Senator by Republicans Next Year. (Palladium Kpoclal) Washington, June 21. In an authorized statement just made public Moses Clapp, United States senator from Minnesota, announces that he favors the nomination of Robert Marion La Follctte of Wisconsin as the Republican presidential enndidate. In the event "that Mr. La Follette heeds the "call to duty" Mr. Clapp announces that ho will most earnestly and enthusiastically" support the Wisconsin senator. In his statement Senator Clapp traces the history of the progressive movement. He declares that the rank and fie of the Republican party protested against the reactionary tendencies of certain leaders during the consideration of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill two years ago. He refers to "the evident domination of the tniRts In the framing of that bill." Ho insists that there is a call for new leadership, and he gives it as his opinion that Senator La Follete fill3 the bill In every respect. Senator Clapp's statement in full follows: Statement in Full. "The protest of the rank and file of the Republican party against the reactionary movement which began two years ago in tho enactment of the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, was the basis of what is now known as the progressive movement. "The evident domination of the trusts in the framing of that bill and their arrogant attempt to secure other reactionary legislation since then aroused the great mass of real Republicans, not. only to protest against such reactionary tendencies, but to demand a continuation and extension of progressive policies, and it is most natural that this aroused sentiment should peek a presidential candidate In sympathy with such sentiment. It has been evident for some time that the rank and Sle of the party would not be able to explain conditions without a determined effort to get some one who will stand for what it regards as real Republicanism. "The call for such a leadership must he regarded as a call to duty rather than the lure of ambition for as pointed out by Senator Bourne in his great speech on "patronage," an Incident of the presidential office has, through patronage, a great advantage, and while the sentiment of his party might be largely against his renomination, yet with his vast power of patronage and party machinery, the majority in such a case enters an unequal contest. Call to La Follette. "The man, under these circumstances, while the demand may be as general and widespread, as it. is in this case, answers the call of duty. By common consent this call seems to have centered upon Senator La Follette, and that the rank and file, in seeking a leader in the struggle for the people, Bhould turn to Senator La Follette was but natural. His loyalty to the principles for which the great overwhelming marojity of Republicans stand is not only unquestionable but he has shown by the advocacy of measures in the senate and by the ripened fruitage of the legislative policies he gave to hi3 own state before coming to the senate, rare qualities as a constructive statesman. If nominated and elected, he would, in his service to the people, redeem the promises of 1908 in their letter and spirit, the spirit of progressive, constructive policies. "I sincerely hope and believe Senator I .n Toilette will see it to be his duty to accede to the widespread sentiment to stand as a candidate for the nomination. He never yet has failed to heed the call of duty and, aside from the sacrifices which war Imposes there never was a clearer call than now. The people want a man who has shown that he can do them right. One has but to study the career of Senator La Follctte to see that he is such a man. 'By their fruits ye shall know them Is the greatest of all tests. Tested by this rule his opponents have to admit his constructive abiiity. As he has never shrunk from duty it is safe to say he will not shrink from this duty now. "As to the outcome, I have no doubt what the verdict will be in the states where the people have a presidential preference law under which they can express their choice of party candidates for president, free from the baneful influence of patronage. It is needless to add that if he becomes a candidate for the nomination, as I believe he will, believing in the principles for which he stands, I shall exercise the right which every Republican, according to my faith, has of determining his own choice, and shall most earnestly and enthusiastically support him."

DOMESTIC STRIFE COMMOMJII STATE Startling Figures on Divorce in Indiana Have Been Announced.

QBE

Indianapolis, June 21. There were 4,632 divorces granted ill-mated wives and husbands in Indiana during 1910, according to statistics compiled in the office of the state statistician and announced yesterday. There were only 30,677 marriage licenses issued during the year scarcely more than six times the number of divorces. The Litter figures are regarded in excess, because some licenses issued were never used. Of the divorces granted, the wives had much the better of the argument collectively. Legal separations were granted to women in 3,473 cases, while men asked freedom in only 1,157 cases according to the figures. The statistician's office has compared the total number of divorces granted and marriage licenses issued with those of 1909, 190S. 1007 and 1906.

The divorces granted in 1909 were almost 200 less than those granted last year. They reached 4,494, with the wives winning the cases in 3,16!) instances and the husbands in 1.025 cases. The total number of marriage licenses granted in 1909 was 28,525. For 1908 the total number of divorces granted was 4,253. The wives wdn in 3.136 cases and the husbands in 1.117. The total number of marriage licenses issued amounted to 26,990 in 190S. Fourteen Causes Given. In 1907 the figures for both were lower. Wives obtained decrees in 2,967 cases and husbands in 1,013. making the total number of divorces granted during the year 3,980. The marriage licences were much more numerous than in the preceding year, due, it is said at the state statistician's office, to the panic of 1908. The total number for 1907 reached 29,804. In 1906 the total number of divorces was only 3,669, of which 2,795 were granted women and St4 to men. The causes of divorces granted have been tabulated for 1910 from all the counties by the state official's office and they follow, specifying to which party the decree was granted: Abandonment (wife) 754 cases. Abandonment (husband) 369 cases. Adultery (wife) 164 cases. Adultery (husband) 223 cases. Criminal Conviction (wife) 45 cases. Criminal Conviction (husband) 6 cases. Cruel Treatment (wife) 1,338 cases Cruel Treatment (husband) 432 cases. Drunkenness (wife) 387 cases. Drunkenness (husband) 36 cases. Failure to Provide (wife) 608 cases Failure to Provide (husband) None Other Causes (wife) 179 cases. Other Causes (husband) 91 cases. Marion county led in the number of divorces granted with 598 to wives and 170 to husbands. Vigo was next with a total of 220 divorces. Then

came Vanderburg with 220, Madison with .176, Allen with 171, St. Joseph with 170 Delaware with 147, Grant with 122 and Cass with 115. Ohio Practcialiy Free. Ohio county won the blue ribbon for harboring least domestic infelicity. Only one divorce was granted there during the year, according to the reports Union county was a close second with but four decrees registered. The lone Ohio county decree was granted to a wife because of a drunken husband. An amusing feature of the figures, the officials in the state statisticion's office believe, lies in the lack of decrees granted husbands because their wives failed to provide for them. Not a case of such description was registered in any of the reports sent in by county officials.
