En, the entire Dominion of Can ada with its population of some ten million ppeople, only fifty-nine di vorces *ere reported during J.923. If the same ratio bold true in the city of New York, the courts there would be granting only three and one-half divorces a month. But New York City unhitches twice as many In a month as Canada 'does in a whole year. In the United States the most recently reported ratio of. divorcee to population was 18.2 percent. Dur ing the same year England's ratio was 2>.2 percent, 'New Zealand II percent and Australia I percent. This low figure for Australia Is es pecially interesting since It is only necessary for a man and woman to separate by mutual consent for a per. iod of thre^ years when a divorce may be otyained by either party. In our country Ihe laws are much more strict, yet Quite often a' man moves to his club on the first of the month and his wife secures a divorce before it is time to tear off the monthly page on the calendar. Perhaps a lenient three-year mutual consent ruling would be more effective. In three years many affections for the 'other* man or woman, inlght cool off. Howard Butler of Oonmoek, N.

Curtail Senseless Expenditure of State Fends. In a recent editorial the Wilmington Star ably voiced the opinion of the majority of the residents of North Carolina when it said: "The people of the State are beginning to realize the Governor of North Carolina is daily facing a severe test of his courage and steadfastness of purpose. Mr. McLean made a pledge that the affairs of the state would be placed upon pi fair business foundation and the spending of public money limited to the present income. True to his promise Mr McLean is devoting his unusual executive and business ability to this great task. Every sane thinking citizen of the state stands ready to assist him and lend aid and comfort to the Gover nor in his determination to rid the State of excessive spending of money in excess of revenue. True to form when the Governor begin8 his /battle for economy and' against waste in the money belong ing to the tax payers of the State, the snipers appear and begin their attacks from ambush. Wild tales of waste and extravagance upon one band and hungry, starving wards of the State who are suffering' because of the economy program of the Gov ernor are used, seeking to defeat him in his laudable undertaking. Daily the majority of the press of the State is realizing the unfair figB^ being waged against the Governor, and are joining the forces that are assisting him arid are giving him their loyal support.
