Speaking of ihe ever increasing
number of divorces granted in the
courts of the state of New York, which,
by the way, is not noted for the ex-1
trnordlnnry number of such cases as
compared to a large number of other
states, Justice Frederick Crane, of the
state Supreme Court, delivered him
self of some particularly straight talk
a few days ago, concerning the very
noticeable tendency on the part of the
men and women of the United States
to rush into the divorce courts on the
flimiest excuse. "Marriage,” said the
Justice, "is one of the cheapest things
in our laws. Marry one day and then
come hack in court the next morning
and get a divorce. If we want polygamy
like the Mormons in Utah, why don’t
we come out bravely and establish It
here? Swapping wives and husbands
has become as common as swapping
horses in this country and at the same
time we judges, the supposed guardians
of the law, are practically forced to
wink at felonies and watch the of
fenders go free.” While the remarks
of Justice Crane are not entirely new,
having been frequently heard with
greater or less emphasis from many a
judicial bench during the last decade
or two, they are noticeable because of
indicating with forcible clarity the
lengths to which this constantly grow
ing tendency is leading. Particularly
In Ihe western states, the comment of
Justice Crane has a most forciable ap
plication as the judicial records of di
vorces granted are increasing with a
most startling rapidity and this,
coupled with the frequency with which
many divorced persons appear seeking
further decrees, lends a most pertinent
significance to that portion of the Jus
tice's remarks concerning polygamy.
Tt was not so long ago that a certain
other judge delivered of himself a most
scathing denunciation of the loose re
gard for the marriage covenant after
stating (hat three out of a total of
seven applicants for divorce had pre
viously been granted decrees in the
very courts over which he himself pre
sided. And. it is also a notorious fact
well known to all lawyers who have
been in touch with divorce courts, that
practically every judge who presides
over a divorce court could, with perfect
justice, voice the same complaint as

Justice Crane. It is believed that the
laxity of the divorce laws is primarily
responsible for this state of affairs
rather than a natural inclination on
the part of the general run of people to
escape the marriage tie upon slight
provocation, but, at the same time, it
is apparent that there is an increasing
disregard for the moral aspect involved
thnt is fast tending to make the mar
riage obligation a matter of mere con
venience, to be as lightly held and as
lightly cast aside as an outgrown frock
or coat. While the majority of those
who accept the marriage relation in
this light Would probably be the loud
est In disclaiming the fact, it is dear
that a view of this nature, if not di
rectly. is at least strongly tending to
ward a polygamous nature as the hold
er of such view Is very apt to change
partners whenever It is desirable or
convenient, especially in the absence
of a full regard for the moral side.
Owing to the flimsy excuses upon
which divorces may lie obtained in al
most nnv court, the matter Is allowed
to become in a great degree one of
personal inclination pure and simple.
Thus when the marriage tie becomes
irksome It Is so easily east aside if
both parties are agreeable thnt it is no
wonder that the marriage contract is
looked upon witli little regard save as
a convenience and as a safeguard to
character rather than a moral obli
gation in anyway binding on the indi
vidual. The great danger of the di
vorce evil lies in this lowering of re
gard for the saeredness of the marriage
compact. The fact that the courts will
j grant separation on almost any ex
cuse has a natural tendency in this di
rection and the force of the applica
tion is witnessed in the number of
times some people appear in the di
vorce courts. As a matter of fact in
a large portion of the states the fre
quency of the change is restrained only
by the legal red tape involved. It is
bj’ no means uncommon to hear of
parties who have been divorced two.
three or even a larger number of limes
and the most significant indication of
the trend of thought is that, as a usual
thing, n second or third divorce is the
subject for very little comment.

NOTES
(From our Exchanges.)
When Qeorge Milieli was sent to jail
at Fairbanks for having killed moun
tain sheep illegally, his dogs were left
to starve In the streets, until the I'. S.
marshal eame to the rescue and led
them up to the government pie router.
Fritz Block, who was found dead
some weeks ago on the Koyukuk trail,
had in one of his pockets a bank hook
showing that he had on deposit In a
San Francisco bank <17,000. Any man
is liable to be found dead, hut give us
seventeen thousand dollars and we will
never be found dead on a Koyukuk
trail.—Ex.
The Yukon council at its recent ses
sion at Dawson, Y. T., passed a resolu
tion exempting for three years the
Klondike Mines railway from the pay
ment of its annual ^territorial tax of
$1,000 per mile. The reason assigned
is that the road has been out of op
peratlon for several seasons and that
if business revives sufficiently to war
rant it being started up again the
roadway and rolling stock will require
a large outlay of money to put them
In shape again.
The Marconi company has started
the work of building a wireless station
at Mount Juneau. The wires arc strung
up the mountain side 850 feet above sea
level and are strung for a distance of
1,600 feet.
The Fairbanks fit> department re
sponded to fifty-one alarms last year,
traveled almost fifteen miles with the
big engine in attending the fires and
twenty-one miles with the chemicals:
laid hose for four miles. The lire loss
was $3,335 and $2,943 was collected
from tin1 insurance companies, thus
leaving a net loss of $390. The town
is proud of tlie record of the fire de
partment.
The police magistrate of Cordova
refused to grant a warrant against
Kpsteln & Greenbnum, itinerant mer
chants. who had failed to purchase
a license to do business and pay the
city council $50.00 a day for the privi
lege of doing business. The magis
trate held that the law could not he
enforced and therefore refused to is
sue a warrant.
Fred Patching, superintendent of
the Fort man n hatchery, is a local
visitor. Mr. Patching states that they
have twenty million young salmon
that they are feeding at the hatchery.
The fish are now about one and one
half inches in length and arc thriving.
The food fed them consists of king
salmon ground up to a pulp and fed
the little fellows raw. Ttiej have no
fear of mankind, eating right out of
the feeder's hand. The young fish will
be kept in tlie feeding pools until such
a time as they are large enough and
strong enough to rustle for them
selves.—Ketchikan M iner.
