IN SNAIL cities, like DeS MOines and

states. street cars are run with much
satisfaction by electricity from over
head wires, but the poles would not be
tolerated in towns where streets are
used for business. In these some sue

cost figured at cents per horsepower,
or S3. per car per day of sixty miles.
A car can run nearly that distance
without recharging, but there are some

A PROPOSED REMEDY FOR Dl
V0RCE.

The Hon. Edward j. Phelps, ex'
Minister to England and Lecturer
OH Law at Yale, has tdrned his
attention to the subject of Divorce
In the United States, with an ef'
fort to discover practical means
OF lessenlng the evil. How great
that evil is may be seen at a glance
from the fact that during the last
twenty years more than 5OO,OOO
divorces have been granted, where
as during the preceding twenty
years, only few more than go,
600 were granted. THIS rapid in
crease is the main fact which has
directed the attention both OF soc'a
and legal efOrmers to the subject
Mr.. Phelps treats it from a practl
cal, legal point Of view, and con-
siders the means whereby the law
may be best used as preventive
A uniform divorce law IN all the
States he regards as irpossibl'
ever TO obtain, and his view OF the
Federal Constitution is that II
would be illegal for the United
States to enact a law on this sub
iect, this being a matter which falls
within State jurlsd ctlon. lie ad
dresses himself, therefore, to State
laws; and, after q discussion o.
the main features of all these laws
reaches the conclusion that The
remedy will be found IN prohlOi
ton of marriage by either divorced
party so long as the other llves
He shows historically, that 1t Il
the liberty to marry again that ha'
caused such an increase in di
vorces; and he concludes that j
is the desire for another marriage
alliance that is the main cause o
most separations between husbands
and wives.
