question Of prosperity under dis

1t does not apply to one laborer,
nor two or three, but to all the
employees as a class. We have
said before, in referring to this
matter, that we believed the re.

company was paying more money

Divorce Laws.

At the recent meeting of the
State Bar Association at Kansas
City Judge j. +. Greene of De Soto
read an interesting paper on the
question of Divorce laws in Mis-
souri,. The Republic some time
ago called attention to the grow
ing importance Of this matter in
this State, and it is gratifying to
note that Judge Green followed
the general suggestions made by
the Republic fol a revision of the
laws.
In tracing the history of divorce
laws in Missouri he discovered that
the territorial laws of 1907 gave
only four grounds for severance
of the marital bonds-impotency,
previous marriage and conceal
ment Of that fact, adultery and
abandonment. In 1917 jury trials
in divorce cases were abolished anC
the number Of grounds was in
creased to eight-felony, habitual
drunkenness, vagrancy and deser-
ton for two years being added
Judge Green declares that since
1885 the widest latitude for divorce
has prevailed in this State under
legislative sanction and abuses o1
legal processes.
/ Judge Green's general sugges
tions for minimizing the evils o1
the divorce privilege in Missouri
are along practical and strictly le
gal lines.
One of primary Importance i:
that no divorce shall be granted
: unless the complaining party ma:
been an actual resident of thu
) State for one year; another tina
DEGREES of divorce shall not b'

Tke Road Question.

Mr.. EDITOR:-I submit the first
of a series of articles on the road
question. In nearly every paper l
pick up nowadays, find something
about the Improvement Of high
ways: therefore, a little discussion
of the roads in our county will not
come amiss.
As we do not have $500 or $1,000
to spend yearly per mile on our
roads, or anything near even the
first mentioned sum, let us do the
best we can with what we have.
The whole secret of working the
roads is to keep the water from
running along the road or ruts. To
prevent the roads from washing
out waters breaks arc necessary. l
made a model of different styles of
such water-breal1s and submitted it
to the county court at its last regu-
lar term, recommending that the
court should require overseers to
adopt some such plan in their road
work. These watcr-b breaks will not
prove an eycsorc to the travelling
public and water cannot break
through them.
Let our road ovcrsccrs 90 over
the roads Of their respective dis
tricts and note how many Of the
water-breaks they have put in arc
turning the water from the road>
at this time. They will probably
find that very few of them are full
filling their purpose because OF
poor location and bad construction
and the washing of the frequent
heavy rains is destroying all Of theil
last years work. BY adopting sucf
breaks as l have shown, this wash
ing could be prevented in even thu
most difficult situations. Theil
cost would not exceed two dollar
each, and once in a place, woult
last for years.

The importations of wool in the
first six months of the Dingley
laws operations were little over
half those Of Il single months un-
der the Wilson law. The total impor-
tations from August 1, 1897, to
February 1, 1898, under the Ding
ley law were 81, ,O7O pounds,
while those of the single month of
April. 1897, under the Wilson law,
were 95, ,55?,o3 pounds.
Exports from the United States
to the fourteen different countries
which protested against the enact
mcnt of the Dingley law have been
$50. 100000 greater in the first
half year Of the Dingley law than
in the period of the preceding year
under the Wilson law, thus dis
proving the claim that the enact
ment of Il protective tariff would
result disadvantageously to our
foreign commerce.
The farmers have no occasion to
complain of the new tariff law as
exempIified in its first six months
operations, which shows decrease
of 90 per cent in the importations
of articles of ''food" and ''live ami
mals,' as compared with ~he cor
responding six months of last year
under the Wilson law; while those
interested in manufactures have
equal cause for satisfaction in the
fact that the reduction in importa-
tions of manufactures under the
new law, as compared with the cor
responding six months of last year
under the Wilson law, has been
about the same.
The improvement in business
conditions among the manufacture
ers Of the country is pointed ont in
a recent dispatch from Pittsburg,
that great center of the nranufactu.
ing industry, which says: ''Presi-
dent McK;nley's administration has
