Approximately 600,000 men and

the estimates made by election offi-

women leaders, however, that 100,f

to put down this menace to "the
chief bulwark of society, the home—
the maker of good citizens and the
model on which every wise Govern-
ment is founded."
"The remedy by constitutional pro-
hibition is drastic," said the Sena-
tor, "but the malady is so fatal that
i nothing short of it will prove effect-
ive. In' the United States divorce is
spreading with alarmfng rapidity.
It has permeated every walk of life
and is prevalent among every class
of people.. The total number of di-
hicago are y0rces granted in 107 was 9987, or
27 per 100,000 popultaion. Forty
years later, in 1906, there were 72,-
092 divorces, or 86 per 100,000; thus
in actual numbers there were more
than seven times as many divorces
'* granted in 1906 as In 1867, or al-
y fowing for the increase in population
~ divorce has increased 819 per cent
"If divorces multiply at the same
rate in the future as in the past—
and there is every indication that
they will increase faster—then be-
fore the middle of thtfi century, we
will have annually in, tK# United
States 275 divorces Jer™0,00 pop,
ulation, or one divoroe * fotv^fvery

This estimate is based on the theory
that about 20 per,ceht. of the men
voters have .become disqualified by
moving since the last registration.
Mrs. Medill McCorm^ck, chairman
onal committee of
oman Suffrage Aaso- tr
llant t9day over the- 'tt
owing made by the women an<\
cted that the number of quai-
women voters will b£_dodble<J-
,t the next registration.
"The Women naturally are timid
about going to the polls," she ■laid.
"It takes a great deal of courage for
a woman to go out and register for.
the first time. They will not be so:
backward next registration day and
the result will be that yesterday's
record will be at least doubled." I
Women election judges and clerkB
were a success in every precinct
wher^ they served, acoording to elec-
tion officials. More t* an 700 women

"As long, as the Romans of old

held the sanctity of the home invio-
late, their arms were invulnerable
and Rome became mistress of the
world. But with the accumulation
of colossal wealth came great laxity
of morals; mariage became a jest
and childbearing a useless burden,
the luxurious Romans lost all respect
for female chastity; the heroic vir-
