OCR DIVORCE LAWS ARE NEEDED. An association known as the Society for the Sanctity of Marriage has been organized to prevent divorces. They advocate a 20th amendment to the constitution tc make divorce impossible. These over-zealous and misguided reform ers are evidently ignoring certain angles of thi^ question and would shackle the country wiMt a puritanical law of slavery that would create more harm and misery than good It is true that our divoree laws are trifled with more than thej should be. making marriage in man; instances but a flimsy institution All laws, however, are more or lesi abused, but this gives no reason so: abolishing laws which more oftei prove a blessing than an evil. Mis takes are made in marriage t® whicl fact the contracting parties do no awaken until afterward. If a goo< woaian is Hied to a brute of a mai who does not support her and make life a miserable existence for he there should be away by which sh can be released from such slavery And the same law of justice applie ? to a man wh® is tied to an unworth _ wife. 5 A mistake in judgment by youn s and inexperienced people who ai * led into marriage by the natural an compelling law of mating should nc consign them to an everlasting earti ly perdition a. a penalty for the, misstep. We sfio<d have strict divw< laws; they m* necessary, bat i abolish lawg altei^ether woui be wrong and Jireposterous. But is safe to as»sjtme that j fanatical and unreasonable propos | lion win n^w get veny far in th 3 country. ! ri HOW MAW VIUNCIK?

I RENTERS AM. ^MH.ORDS | Renters in South I to organize against v .M»ivc-ciing. | charging extortion ft, u ,niT be & oin ß | In some cases landloLL but as a Ijrule Tiilk" IS nut T1 Lie. The average ■ property owner gets a small return 11 on his investment, not over four per j| cent on an average. There are many | 1 vacant houses in South Bend for the g 1 reason that the owners are anxious g to sell to get away from the annoy- " ance of renterg and the small per [J cent received on their investments. ■ They prefer to have their houses a vacant, as it is often a hard matter g to get possession from tenants after S a sale is made. Many tenants have themselves to | blame for renting conditions in the ■ smaller cities like South Bend, as | there are plenty of opportunities to ■ buy homes at fair prices, considering | the costs of labor and building gj material at the present time, on a ~ reasonable payment plan. ■ But there is a class of renters ■ who prefer to blow in their money on g automobiles, costly furs, jewelry. silks and satins, rather than to live moderately and try to save up somes thing for a home. They live from J day to day without a thought of the ■ future, wasting and living extrav- ■ agantly, and then when reverses |j come, attribute their troubles to the | landlord or to some other convenient s goat who by careful living and sensg ible economy may have succeeded in ■ getting ahead a few nickels. This J class of renters are the ones who ■i make the biggest howl when a prop- ■ erty owner is trying to get a reason- — able per cent on his Investment. | ONE CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES. The excess profits tax. one of the j biggest mistakes ever made in this country, should be knocked into a § cocked hat at the first opportunity. Il It is one of the strongest factors in ( the high cost of living. The consumg er pays the tax. jj I nder the operation of this measure every business firm sets aside a .j legitimate profit and then adds to it !v the amount that is to be paid to the - government. This rule is followed by the manufacturer, by the jobber, by the wholesaler, by the distributor and by the retailer, until it finally e lands on that patient goat, the con- _ sumer. h The abolishment of this unwise o law should be one of the first steps to e be taken by our law-makers toward [_ the reduction of high prices and a n more sane and normal condition of j living. e In delving around for some kind j of dope that would serve as a defense 3 and vindication for those who are v not inclined to the early rising habtr, T we find after a painful and exhaust- } ive research a few encouraging lines , g from an ancietn bard in the days of >r Wiiliam the Conqueror, which serves n Lis an effective foil for that other an5 _ cient doggerel, “Early to bed and h early to rise,” etc., which has caused so much trouble and annoyance in the world. Here is the other version. n which will appeal strongly to the Ps most of us: , Br When the mornyi iseth red ie Rise not thou, but Reep thy bed, y Beasts arise betimei, but then e3 They are beasts and! we are men. iy There is a little glefm of daylight ig ahead for newspaper publishers in re the report that a new process has xl been found for making paper pulp, or The Stamscott company of Hopewell, h- Virginia, have announced that after jir three months of experimenting they {have developed a process of making ce paper pulp from cotton fibre. They to expect to start the manufacture of ild the pulp in quantities at an early it date. e —— st- A bill is before the special »ession s j s of the Indiana legislature to amend the “blue sky” law. If it will head off the stock fakers who usually find good picking her*, and remove the ,odium from the state as one of the green and easy spots fell - all sorts of ; shady manipulators, the bill should Ihe passed without hesitation. Indii ana i - one of the few states whost • “blue sky” laws are in need of rackw.l inxu’ovement. Senator George Y. Hepler from this county has introduced a bill in ■ b -Liilaiure to increase th’ sala-

ries of the following officers of St. Joseph county: An increase of the clerk s salary to $6,500, auditor to $6,700, recorder to $6,500 and sheriff to $6,000. They ought to be presenting bills to reduce instead of increase public expenses. A public man of more or less prominence wants women kept out of politics until they know what they aie doing. But, just suppose this test were applied to men. hhe democrats are already referring to Cox as the “next president,” and the republicans are talking the same way about Harding. But it seems that this is one of the inevitable perplexities that we are called upon to bear in every national political scrap. There are three people usually who are pretty apt to read longwinded editorials in the newspapers. They are the editor, the printer that sets them and the proof-reader. You have heard of a photo being called a “speaking likeness” of a woman, but never a “listening Hke- ।, But wild expect Vncle Sam to guarantee as well as grant it. Rotten politics can only grow in the soil of popular indifference to politics. A man may now die unwept and unhonored, but not unstung. How We Got Collars. It is about a hundred years since the col ar came into being as a commercial proposition. It has been suggested that the neeklaee of teeth or claws, or string of beads, with which our earl.v ancestors adorned themselves. was the forerunner of the modern collar.
