Judge John C. Tarsney Protests
Against the Procedures That

now famous decision in the divorce case
Of Charles F. Beach, in which the supreme
court set aside divorce granted to Beach
on the ground that he was not a bona fide
resident of the territory, was written by
Judge John c. Tarsney. formerly of Kan
sas City. In the decision. Judge Tarsney
took occasion to put in a word in behalf
of the good name and fame Of Oklahoma,
as follows:
IAN unervable fame has already at
tached to this territory by reason of the
inducements which her laws have in the
past offered for obtaining dissolution Of
the status of marriage. The liberality OF
the law has been taken advantage of and
abused. A large portion OF the laws asked
for in our courts were brought by citizens
of other states who came into this terri
tory for the mere purpose Of obtaining a
divorce. and having imposed upon the
courts by perjury and fraud, not only as to
the facts of residence. but also with re-
spect to the procedure: thus occasioning
injury to morals, reproach to the law. as
well as obloquy to the judcature which
must administer the laws. This court. as
a conservator of society. of the family
upon which society is founded of the NOR
ais of the people and of the good name and
fame of the territory. owe 1t to all these
that the laws shall not be administered
with such laxity and disregard to the in
tention of the lawmakers as to bring re-
proach and dishonor upon the people of
the territory and upon their judiciary.
For the reasons stated herein the judg-
ment of the court below is reversed and
