no evidence, his work as referee consisting
simply in recommending that the divorce be
granted because of the defendant having
failed to answer, and in view of the fact
that the wife had not been served with a
notice that any suit was pending, it is little
wonder that she did not appear. So anxious
was FLAcK to get the divorce that he al
lowed decree of PREPARATION to be entered
on the ground of adultery on his part,
which he had contrived to have his wife
accuse him of, though she solemnlY de-
clares that if he is guilty of any such thing
she is not aware of it and never had any
suspicious in that direction. He would not
dare have such decree upon such grounds
entered up against him in Utah.
OF course the fraudulent decree will
have to be annulled, though why Mrs.
FLAcK should want to continue the rela-
tionshipof wife to so cowardly and con-
temptible a wretch as her husband has
shown himself to be, is more than we can
understand. Judge BooKsTAvER should be
impeached and imprisoned until the law is
fully satisfied for the dastardly part he
played in the proceeding.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CORRECTED.

The Philadelphia Press is vindictive
and violent Republican paper, which is so
dyed in the wool that it cannot even by a
strained effort say anything favorable of a
southern state or any of its inhabitants.
In recent number it made the statement
that Kentucky has the largest number of
illiterates, in proportion to population, of
any state in the union. This aroused the
ire of the Courier-JournGI, which first pro-
nounced rthe statement falsehood and
then proved it to be such by
the figures. 1t showed that ten
other states have a greater proportion
of illiterates and, to clinch things as it went
along, that Pennsylvania, the state in
which the Press is published, has more
white voters unable to write than Kentucky
has by about eleven thousand: and then the
argument isssplendidly closed with the an
nouncement that kentucky will have it's
illiterates educated before Pennsylvania
succeeds in educating or starving to death
its own
1t has been favorits practice, ever since
the war, of the Republican press to refer
sneeringly to the want of education in the
south, because it could find nothing
in its opposition which promised better re
suits. The same thing has been done with
reference to Utah and principally from the
same source. 1t is very true that neither
of the sections referred to turns out so
many purchased diplomas as those con-
trolled by that party, but that the ratio Of
illiteracy is greater or as great is not as a
rule true. Utahis ahead of any other terri
tory and of many of the states in respect to
general education, and the southern white
population are as a class better educated
than corresponding class and number in
the north The fact is, the Republican
party and press are hard up for arguments
just now; and when it and the Liberals of
Utah coalesce-a performance quite natur
ally and easily accomplished fairly rains
misrepresentation.

AN INFAMOUS PROCEEDING.

Divorces should be handled with care. a
lax system of securing conjugal separations
has a tendency to inculcate disregard for
the marriage VOW and make certain class
of men whose aim would otherwise be at
steadiness, Indifferent as to whether they
are steady or not This does not Imply
that there should be great difficulty in get
ting divorces where there are good and suf-
ficient grounds, by any means; on the con
trary, well-guarded statute providing for
separation under such circumstances is "A
wise, beneficent and civilized provision,
and should be upheld wherever enlightened
sentiments prevail; but courts or laws
should be abolished which admit of either
spouse securing an annulment of the mar
riage contract for slight or transient causes,
when by holding them off for a short time
a better understanding might be arrived at
and the couple go to living together on the
best of terms.
The most notorious abuse of the divorce
law which has happened in recent times
was in the case of Sheriff F'LAcK,
of New York city, short time ago.
After it was obtained, Mrs. FLAcK
rushed upon the scene and declared she had
never applied for divorce, as it was made
to appear she had; that she consented to a
separation and signed documents to that
effect at the same time signing other
papers presented TO her by her son, who
dutifully informed her that they related
only to a division of the property and that
she need not read them. She has recently
ascertained that the papers had reference
TO the divorce which her husband subse-
quently surreptitiously obtained, that one
of them was in fact a complaint against
him. This fastens deceit upon both hus-
hand and son. To make matters worse, the
lawyer who ostensibly appeared for the
wife. on being confronted by her was com
pelled to admit that he not only had moi
been retained by her. but that he never
saw her before.

STARTING OFF WRONG.

The North Dakota constitutional conven-
tion has some men in it of brains, exper-
fence and forethought. One of the wisest
things, as it appears to us
here, that was brought before
it, was a proposition to incorporate
an article requiring the supreme court of
the state to give the legislature advice on
any point wherein the constitutionality of
the law was involved. BY this means it
was proposed to save the state, the people
and more particularly litigants, great ex-
pense by having such disputed points tested
before the laws were made rather than
after; and why this would not be meas
ure of wisdom it would be difficult to point
out.
The Dakotas, like Montana and Washing
ton, are having things very much their own
way. Anything adopted by their respec-
tive conventions as the fundamental law of
the land ''goesn beyond all question, pro
vided the people themselves by a majority
vote ratify the work of their representa-
tives, which they undoubtedly win,
as it is that or another long
wait for statehood. Having ratified the
constitutions, the President will
at once issue proclamation declaring the
four territories members of the sisterhood
of states. Why, then, they do not seek to
improve upon rather than fall in line with
stale and mischievous provisions obtaining
elsewhere is a mystery, unless, indeed, we
ascribe it to the fact that the legal frater-
nifty have been getting in their work on the
state builders. AS territorial legislature.
making enactments which Congress could
annul at any time and without giving any
reason therefor, we can easily comprehend
why haste should be made slowly in the
matter of squandering time over laws
which are likely to cut into the business of
the legal fraternity; but it is in order to
emerge from that condition of dependency
that the constitution trainers are at work.
Surely, the lawyers must have got their
fingers into the pie. They make more
money fighting the constitutionality and
regularity of laws than those who are not
IN the secret know anything about. as
much, perhaps, as they do from
all other sources combined. And
while THE HERALD would not in
jure their business or themselves, yet it
does seem as though the great body of the
people ought to have an occasional thought
bestowed upon them, especially by those
whom they selected for that very purpose
One of the excuses presented by the
North Dakota statesmen was that it would
be undigniied to go before the supreme
court with a request for information as to
pending Notwithstanding like a
lawyer asking the Judge of court in which
he intends to bring a case how he shall
plead, is the idea we suppose they meant to
convey. But would not this, from any
point of view, be more dignifel than hay
ing work upon which they have spent time
and talent, and which they sent out to the
people with their sign manuals and bearing
the great seal of the state as law, knocked
into everlasting smithereeps by that same !

to be that of incompetent pretenders?

Taxing into consideration the fact that the
receipts were the heaviest of any day IN four
months, the market was certainly In q most
satisfactory condition. A dull and lower
market would have been no surprise with
such heavy receipts, out there was one ele-
ment Of strength in the fact that the receipts
were light at all other points. The trade
opened early and shippers, as well as the
dressed beef operators, were free buyers to
that extent that very large proportion of
the beeves had changed hands before mid
day. While statesmen in good many cases
thought they got fully steady or even strong
prices for their medium weight and handy
cattle, still there was an easier undercurrent
and the buyers generally claimed to have
bought their cattle shade easier than aver
age. The heavier cattle, which are becom.
ing more plenty at all the market points IN
the country did not sell so strong as yester
day. The beef cattle sold at "a range of 1920
