The expeditions manner in which
The Rev. George B. Vosburg, late of
Jersey City, has secured divorce
10 Dakota had led the religious press
to dwell upon the evils resulting from
the conflict of the divorce laws of the
various States The Examiner and
Chronicle points out that divorce
of this sort, obtained ia open court,
with both parties represented by
counsel, is valid IN every State. A
man may 60 to DAKOTA, acquire tech
nical residence by staying ninety
days, bring suit. return to his home
and re marry all within six months
time. He may get his divorce for
causes that would be regarded as
utterly frivolous by the courts OF his
own State, and yet there appears to
be no legal remedy. South Carolina,
for example, does not grant divorces
for any cause, but her citizens may
secure them in the courts OF another
State or Territory, and their own
State is powerless to prevent such
practices. The Examiner is Of the
opinion that, ia the absence of Fed
eral control, there should be such
Interstate action as would lead to
greater uniformity Of legislotion.
