pose to secure the passage of a law

says:
Their principal argument I'm favor
of this new measure 10 that Ii the
courts In other States are obliged to
recognize Indiana divorces as valid.
though they are generally obtained
by frand, the tribunals of that State
virtually absorb the whole divorce
business of the country, and i'm peril
the property and marital rights of
every woman from Maine to Califor.

ence of Congress. under constitutions.
