THE state Of South Dakota has of late
been overwhelmed by people from other
states seeking for divorce The reason for
this appears to De not so much the iiber-
atty of the statute az to causes for which
divorce can be uapted as the brevity Of
the period Of residence ninety days
after which an application can be fled,
The obvious remedy for the evil would h.
to increase the required period TO at least
one year, and then TO require some avid-
ence that the petitioner is not a residence
for divorce purposes only. It is the plain
duty Of every state to discourage as much
as possible the formation Of divorce col
onies. Such matters should be tried and
decided in the localities where the merits
Of the case are more readily arrived at.

no other country surpasses us in the

1t is surprising to me that any pa

with an unwill,ngness to accept the
