Mora Marriages in South.
The percentngo ot marriages Is
Teater in tho South than In the
North. The Western StateB, during
tl'e Ui3t fow years, have uiado a rapid
jtfmp upward in tho marriage rate
and are passing tho Southern States.
Tl'0 porccntago of marriagos to every
10,000 of population has been de
creasing somewhat In the North At
lantlc and North Central Stat6s, whllo
It Is increasing rapidly olsewhero in
tho Union.
Tho highest marriage rate Is In the
old Indian Territory part of Okla
homa, followed closely by Arkansas
and TexaB. The lowest rate Is In
California, Connecticut and Delaware.
).'ow York Is well down toward the
bottom of the list, close with New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts.
In the United States as a whole
thoro are nlnety-threo marriages tor
every 10,000 ot total population, and
357 marriages tor every 10,000 of the
population ot marriageable age, or
above fifteen years old. The only
countries that rival this high rate are
Western Australia, Hungary and
Baxony, which present about the same
average figures. The fewest mar
riages occur in Ireland, with Sweden
next. Ireland's rate is less than one
half that of the United States, t
The number of divorces granted In
this country in 1867 was 9937. Forty
years later, in 1906, the number was
72,062. Taking the census years of
1870 and 1900 as a basis for popula
tlon, this was a percentage increas3
of from 28 to 73 per 100,000 of popu
lation. The rate of increase was
nearly three times, and the evil has
been growing in even greater propor
tion during the last half dozen years.
Rate Constantly Increases.
The movement, though occasionally
chocked or retarded by commercial
crises, periods of business depression
or other causes, has been almost
without exception upward. In only
tour years, 1870," 1884, 1894 and
1902, was the divorce rate for the
country as a whole lower than it was
in the preceding ysar. The upward
movement, although varying in in
tensity in different sections, has been
general throughout the country.
Divorce Is far more frequent In the
far Western States than in the East.
Washington has a long lead, with
Montana a close second. Colorado Is
third.- Delaware haa the fewest In
proportion, with New York and New
Jersey next lowest.

Bons all tin b'.', nnd, doubtleus many
more, are factors which may affect
the figures.
Tho divorce rntn Is li!nhr In thfl
United States than In any fortlgn
country, except Japan. Swltsorland,
which hafi tho hlghiiKt ruto In I3urop,
has Inns than ono-hr.lf our proportion.
According to the International figures
Per 100,000 Population.
the number of divorces per 100,000
ot population Is nn follows:
Japan, 215; United States, 73;
Switzerland, 32; Saxony, 29; Franco,
23; Itoumanla, 20; Prussia, 10; Italy,
3; England, 2; Austria, 1.
Ono in Twelvo Dissolroi.
While definite data Is not obtain
able, the Government experts figure
that at tho present rate In the United
States not less than one marriage in
every sixteen will bo dissolved ulti
mately by divorce, and it seems rea
sonable to suppose, they add, that tho
ratio is nearer ono in twelve.
Possibly many persons will feel,
says the report, that these figures aro
not confirmed by tholr personal ob
servation of the relative frequency of
divorce. It should be remembered
that the comparison relates only to
marriages that have been terminated
either by death or divorce. Existing
marriages do not enter Into the ratio.

MARRIAGE AXD DIVORCE FACTS
Tho marriage rete Is larger In Southern than in Northern States.
Marriages are increasing most rapidly in the Far West and decreas
ing in Northeastern States.
The United States has the highest marriage rate of any country in
the world, rivalled only by West Australia, Hungary and Saxony. Tho
tewest marriages occur in Ireland, with Sweden next.
There are far more divorces, both in number and percentage,
granted In the United States than in any European country. Japan
alone excels our figures.
The divorce nate Is rapidly increasing. It Is three tiniC3 greater
than forty years ago. -
Divorce is more frequent in the Far West. Washington and Mon

ground for divorces granted to hus

eauso for the wife's application. Five
divorces for cruelty are granted to the
wife for every one grunted to tho hus

Tho most common slnglo ground
for divorce Is desertion, This ac

that tho offmiHo when committed by

Tho enormous Increase In divorce
In recent years is almost wholly In
the lss r.erlous c'ja;'gcs of desertion
and cruelty.
l''eiv Cases Contested.
Only 15 per cent, of the) cases
brought In twenty years wore con
tested, nnd In many of theso the
contest was merely a formality. The
wlfo more frequently contests than
the husband. Cruelty beads tho list
of contested grounds and desertion is
at the foot. Alimony Is asked In
about two cases In overy fifteen and
granted in two cases out ot twenty
two. A most Interesting phase of tho
question Is how long marriages last
before divorce Is granted. Owing to
tho law's delay and the time required
beforo a decree can bo obtained, the
percentage Is small In the first two
years of married llfo, although many
couples separate very quickly. Tho
highest figures aro reached after
threo and four year3 of married life,
and then gradually decreases. More
than one-half of all divorces are
granted beforo tho end ot tho ninth
year.
