Cleveland Judge Who is Expert Gives 1 think the world affords no excep Opinion. tion to this rule. Cut in Local Market Is About Half Wants a Federal Law. Cent Under Last Week’s Mark. Cleveland, O., July 8.—Why are so many married people so unhappy? That inquiry along with others of col lateral interest and vitality, was brought to this city and laid before Judge William B. Neff. Off and on Judge Neff lias been hearing divorce cases for sixteen years. Since the first day of Januiyy he has listened to nothing but stories of matrimonal disappointment and delinquency. The twelve county judges, catching step with the swiftly moving temper of the community, took up the great subject of divorce. They acted none too soon. Families by the thousand were going to wreacy and ruin. The judges found that 498 divorces were granted during the January term of last year, 520 during the April term and 637 during the term begin ning with September. They had known about the situation in an in definite way. The figures however surprised them. "Each of us,” Judge Neff said, “ne cessarily had a standard of his own. Some of us were liberal; others were strict. Differences in tempermanent, feeling and prepossession among the judges led to uncertainty, confusion and dissatisfaction. “I suppose some of us were known as ‘easy’ judges and others of us as ‘hard’ judges in divorce cases. Natur ally, attorneys and petitioners wanted to go before the judges who were liberal in their interpretation of th'e law. There was more or less man euvering, no doubt, for position on the court’s calandar. “Willful absence of three years— °*herw!se complete and entire neglect of duty continuing for less than three years should develop into a cause of divorce. The law says that total failure must continue for three years. It follows inexoradly that a partial failure should continue for at least an equal length of time In other respects the Ohio law is a mod- ci for the whole country. And now there is one phase of the general marriage question about which I think it is my duty to sav a word. I approach it however, with hesitation, but it is so threatening to the physical integrity of our peo ple that 1 feel obliged to hint at it if I can do no more. It ought to be a criminal offense for anyone having a taint of sex infection to marry. A criminal ofiense, I said and I wish you would lay stress on the state ment. Such a person as I have nam ed has no more right to enter the marriage relation than has a small pox patient to enter a church or hall crowded with people in good health. “I have seen, right in my court room, the awful results of such mar riages, They are too terrible to talk about in print. Nor are marriages of the sort I am discussing simply occa sional. there are more of them than the world knows, or possibly would believe. I caution the mothers and fathers of daughters about to be married concerning what is, to my mind, the saddest fact in all our modern life.” (Telegram.) Cheese prices have dropped a half cent in the local market, despite an nouncements to the contrary, and at the same time the selling price of the Tillamook product, delivered in Port land, is a half a cent lower than it was the first of last week. Today quota tions run as followes:Tillamook twins and triplets, 17 cents wholesale in sin gle cases, i6'4 cents in lots of three cases or more. Young America’s, 17!.• cents. Factory selling price, twins and triplets, delivered in ~ Portland, 1554 cents. This morning 200 cases mook twins and triplets last week by Swift & Co., ceived by them and the price paid was 1554 cents delivered here. Re ports have been in circulation for some time that higher prices were be ing secured for this product in Cali fornia, and the Portland market was being allowed to go begging insofar as the Oregon product was concern ed. Attempts made to buy at Tilla mook under 16 cents, were unsucccs- ful, dealers claimed, and no change was apparent until a few days ago, when Carl Haberlach, selling agent for 19 Tillamook factories, announced a reduction of a half cent. This has now become effectivy. R. A. Lee, manager of the Portland house of Sw’ift & Co., stated this morning that he is in receipt of a let ter from a source which cannot be disputed, saying that the Seattle mar ket is loaded with cheese and the market there is weak.
