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!.•

This morning 200 cases

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

market there is weak. The letter
