Divorces Rise In U S and Warned Reform Needed
An editorial from an eastern exchange argues divorces rise faster than population, notes the 1867 to 1906 census report showing one divorce in twelve by 1906, and warns against lax laws while urging effort to reform marriage as a sacred institution rather than merely a contract. It cites marriage as a key life event and laments superficial regard for vows.
