commission has been so advised. The
thing always to do is to get together.
And that reminds us that the time is
doming when thi freight station; here
should be moved to another location
and that only passenger trains should
be moved through the city. That would
mean a belt line and rapid industrial
development.
- Crops in this section of the state
are loooking unusually well. Many
lields of corn have, begun to mature
and the chances favor a large crop
Cotton looks well, but too much rain
soon would damage it. In Gaston coun
ty the boll weevil has appeared and
the farmers are busy fightilng it.
Persons from Anson county say the
weevils have, attacked . blackberry
vines. Farmers are doing everything
possible to eliminate the pests and it
is believed that the cotton yield will
be good despite the weevils. One re
sult of the invasion is more corn
throughout the state.
Gastonfa's tax rate has been fixed
at $1.15 for the current year, the
achool rate being increased to ,"40

The teachers will cost the city $ll5,

DIVORCE IN CANADA
Springfield Republican.
Much is said in criticism of the
conflict of divorce laws in American
states, but our legal provisions re
garding divorce are less anomalous
than tnose of - the Dominion of Can
ada. At least every American state
has divorce judisdiction over its own
citizens, and that is not the case in
uie Dominion. The two most popu
lous provinces ox. " Danacia Queuet
ui.u Ontario have no invoice courts
at all. li any oi their inhabitants
desire a invoice thew must appeal to
the national Farliment, wnere tne
case is heard by 'comjtfittee of the
Senate and afterwaru oy a commit
tee of the House oi Commons,
tivorco by acu oi Co'agress ior in
habitants of the New England, Mid
dle Atlantic and (Jentrai siates would
be a somevvnac analogous situation
in the United staves.
On the other hand. Novt Scotia
ana Mew UiunswicK have divorce
courts, which date from a period
antecedent to the formation of the
Do'mmion government, and in the
vves km provinces divorces are
giatueu uiiuer tne English law ovij?
inally introduced there, vnile iuc
awi. whnui estaoiisneu the Dominion
oi Canada gave the feoeial govern
ment authority' over marriage and
divorce, the provinces in winch
divorce jurisdictions had already
been cstaoiished were not distuvoea
in their rights. During the session
oi rainmenc -jusu closed, 105 peti
tions Icr divoice were presenteu to
tne Senate iroin Ontario and eight
iiom yueoec.
The it-form which is again sug
gested by the chairman oi the Sen
ate divorce committee, and which
had the backing in Ii)19 of Sir
Kol'trt Borden, the conservative
premier, and of W. S- Fielding, now
minister, of finance in the Liberal
government, is the obvious one- of
instituting divorce courts in On
tario and Quebec. Those who oppose
this measure are actuated largely by
disapproval oi divorce in principle t
they probably fear, that if divorce,
were obtainable by less cumbersome
procedure the number of cases wouiu
be increased even though there were
no chanare in the legal grounds for
action. Naturally, with Catholic be
liefs dominant in Quebec, opposition
there to anv measure which might
faciliate divorce in every strong.
As a matter of fact, the weightiest
argument- for instituting divorce
courts is to make divorce 'uniformly
a matter of judicial, procedure. As
W. S. Fielding said in 1919, Divorce
is being granted and . is going to be
granted: the only, auestion is.
whether it; shall ' be i granted by de
cent machinery or by that which is
a burlesque of justice." That la
shall Canada have divorce granted
and denied, on . .thav.recommendatio
of parliamentary S committee or by
judicial determination in the law
courts ? The auestion, of course, is
for Canada, to decide. But analysis
of me situation snows us tnat wnen
we co'mplain oi anomalies in our
legal arrangements or when, withou
complaining, we descuss the com
promises in 'our national constitu
tion, wc have heasori 'tc' remember
that others are.in the .same boat.
NvaitincT 'f6r""A National
-ANTHEM, i :
Dr. llobert Watson Is correct in as
serting that the United States needs
a new hatiorial anthem, correct too in
listing "My Counry, 'Tis of Thee," and
"The Star Spangled Banner" among
songs that have been tried and found
wanting. The first is wooden in mus
ic and words; moreover its music is
second-hand or third-hand having
been written originally as "Hel dir im
Siegerkranz." "The Star Spangled
Banner has words of striking ex
cellence, at least when compared with
any other lyric in the competition, and
its music, though ultra-florid, is good
But its great range makes the tune un-
smgable for most people,
No anthem will ever meet all the
requirements laid down by Dr. Watson
A sbngvwith "a broad historic bdsis,"
revealing "our great aspiration for
universal liberty and justice," pro
claiming "the ideals of a true demo
cracy,' -testifying : to- our .somewhat
mythical desire for "fellowship with
all nations," expressing the "glories
of peace," likewise "saturated with
spirituality,'? and last but not least
possessing a catchy tune tor singing, is
too much . to ask. "Men of Hariech"
has for example, only rather narrow
historical basis, fairly good words and
the best of music, to fit it out Yet
there is no better national song
Perhaps when the United States gets
through the awkward age, quits grow
mg, settles down, decides what it
wants to do and finds out what it can
do, it will make itself a fitting national
song or several of them. These things

In the Summer of Life
Prepare
Summers and winters pass by every year, even the; dtkig
child knows that one season will not last always. ' .
But in a lifetime each season comes but once and too plten, we
fail to realize that it is passing. .' . C v
The Summer of Life comes only once and unless we' make -'
progress while the "weather" is pleasant, we will find hardship,
perhaps, in the winter that is sure to follow. ' . - t
To make life successful we must profit by the experience
of others. If we rely only on our own experience we will be too
old before we can make any use of it. 1 .-. . ,
And the experience of other plainly . points to the great
value of persistent saySng in the acitiVe years of lief. H
