Th*v have viewed our thousauds of
valleys and miner ul lined hills. They
havo learned that flowers und ga r
dens bloom and mature in this de
veloping land, aud where many ox
pected to find snow and cold, they
enjoy clear and warm days with In
vigorating atmosphere, unpolluted
by dust or smoke.
All this and more they will tell
to their friends in the states, and
thereby iuduce others to visit us;
aud those others will bo just ns
welcome as the ones visiting uh to
day. Alaskans are gregarious In
the extreme; wo like to have people
around us; especially do we llko to
meet the visitors from the state*
where most of our people formory
lived. Out of tho new acquaintnnco
thus formed spring many lasting
friendships. Nearly every boat
brings someone that we have known
before, or who are familiar with
the spots known to our former days
Not only for sentimental reasons
ire tourists welcomed by us, but for
commercial reasons as well, for
they purchase our souveulrs, buy of
our merchants, patronize our hotels
and in many waya trade with us to
.< mutual advantage.
So, here's to tho tourist, may they
multiply and grow exceeding great.
Divorce Destroying Our
Homes and Breaking
Up Our Families
Crying Evil of
People of This
Country.
By Senator JOSEPH E. RANS
DELL of Louisiana
DESTROYS TIIE
HOME, BREAKS
I
TERS THE PARENTS AND
CHILDREN TO THE FOUR
WINDS and makes an ugly
sore that breeds sin and sorrow
of the deepest dye.
AND YET DIVORCE 13 TO
DAY THE CRYING EVIL OF
THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY.
T requires no argument
to prove that divorce
Official statistics of tho federal census on marriago and divorce in
1909 show that in this country OXE MARRIAGE IN TWELVE
ENDS EN" DIVORCE.
Divorco is growing rapidly in the United States. In tho last
twenty year period, from 18S7 to 1906, the number of marriages dis
v !ved was 945,625, while from 1867 to 1886 it was 328,716, or a little
more than one-third. In 1887 there were 483,069 marriages and 27,
919 divom ??, about ono divorco in every seventeen marriages. In
1906 marriages numbered 853,290 and divorcee 72,069, or one divorce
in every twelve marriages. This is a fearful rate of increase.
If it continues in liko proportion for the next forty years tho mid
EVERY FIVE DISSOLVED BY DIVORCE.
Accepting as true that marriages resulting in divorce produce as
n:any children as others, tho figures for 1906 would mean that one
twelfth of our citizens, or over seven million souls, are tho unfortunate
victims, either as participants or offspring, of this terriblo evil and that
the homes of seven million American citizens aro arid spots, unworthy
of that sacred name and nurseries of sorrow rather than of joy.
