tops the list with fi*2 per WO.OOO population, Montana

that state des not grant divorces by law.. Nevada als;,
leads in the proportion cf divorces to marriages, but Ore.
g n comes second, and there are taer relative changes,
but in tills table Gergiu also maintains forty-fourth place.
In the compilation it is shown that six counties in five
different states granted more divorces last year than there
were marriages, ana these were: Pawnee county, Okla-
I oma; Washoe cc. aty, Nevada; Trinity county, Califor-
nia; I hi! li county, Oregon and Claekamus county, Oregon.

The average of divorces in the whole country i as been
established at 126 per 100,000 of population, including the

faith being permitted divorce only by special dispense-I
tion of the cliurc.. authorities.
K:-.alilishment of closer relationship between heme,

THE TftAIFr IN THE SOUTH
A new era is being written in Southern affairs by the

consul iatii.il which lias ..eretofore been accorded til In i
sei tions of the country.
I his edit n h: i lieen predicted on a prejudiced political
idea that any such activity would indicate a reversion to
a principle which the South has abjured in t. e past. Iiow-
ciri-. an independent and non.paitisan organization the
Soiitr.ein taiiif Association, with thousands of members
tinnughinil the South, and a board of governors, consist

set about to see that Southern agriculture, commerce and

Is particularily interested in these three items, and If
Congress enacts a traiff it ought to include these products
in its protection.
There are others that might be mentioned, but Tiie
News is simply calling attention to these must potent reg
