In treating Of tho necessity Of reform
I'm the laws governing marriage and di-
vorce. the Newport News Press says.
with 'Gretna Greens Offering speedy
marriages and no questions asked, and
the Dakotas furnishing divorces while
you wait il is not strange that surpris-
ingly scandalous and unhappy results
have followed. The remedy, however
lies in the hands of Congress. and not
i'm the hands Of the ministers, as sus-
gested by our esteemed contemporary.
The only way the unspeakable evils OF
the present system may be overcome is
by the enactment Of just and reason
able national divorce ana marriage law.
Has it ever occurred TO our Newport
News contemporary that a national law
might sanction a class of marriage
which are permitted in some States. but
are fclonies I'm others. and should be-
made felonies i'm ali? We, Of course, re-
fer 10 marriages between whites and
llacks-to the unspeakable evil Of
miscegenation According 20 our ideas.
marriage ana divorce laws cannot be too
rigid but the whole question of reform
Of existing evils should be left where #
now is. i'm the hands Of the several States.
