HEADED THE WRONG WAY

The G l o b e notes with unfeigned sad
ness that the esteemed Pioneer Press is
beginning to pave the way for an adj
mission later on that the prosperity
about which it was went to talk so mag
niloquently during the months inlmedi-
ately proceeding the elections last fall
was of the evanescent type and that,
such as it was, it was brought about by
a combination of circumstances wholly
fortuitous and not likely TO happen again
in a lifetime. OF coruse, our contempo-
rary does not put this admission into
words. That is not the way Republican
organs have of doing things Readers Of
that paper can scarcely have failed to
notice, however, that its prosperity train
as pictured in the most conspicuous
place on its front page yesterday morn
ing is headed away from, instead of COM
ing toward, US, and that just ahead of
the engine onto which the Terrible
Teddy is climbing. there is a sign board
bearing the ominous words, -Four
years to the next stop" 70 make the
picture still more significant the train is
standing on curve which must carry
it out of sight within a few minutes

too frequent recurrence of the bust
ness of law-mal1ing. 1t is all directed
toward one given point-the enabling of
given politicians and officeholders of the
Republican party to hang on to their
jobs and increase their emoluments in
every way available
The Democratic representation in the
state legislature ought to be very much
more in evidence than it is. 1t includes
some men of ability. But the spirit
which keeps congressman quiet, because
their friends or constituents are given
some of the pie, is apparently not alb
sent among the minority in the legisla-
ture of Minnesota
The G O b looks forward to members
of it's party in the legislature from Ram
sey county and elsewhere voting for
many of the most doubtful measures now
pending on the principle of conduct here
referred to. The principle of bargain
and sale. of give and take, has sealed
mems lips before today to contemplated
and often to accomplished wrong.
1t is not necessary here to engage in a
discussion of any of the measures which
are here referred to or the many others
that might be specified. They are all de-
signed TO help Republican politicians, and
they are, not for that reason but in
their very nature, against the public
welfare. They violate all sound and hon
est conceptions of public morals They
are expressive of the character and pur-
pose of those who have again come back
into control of our state affairs. If the
Democracy of this state does not propose
to play stool-pigeon to the Republican
machine in state affairs, it's representa-
tNcs in the legislature must stand out
and oppose on principle every measure
which looks to private enrichment or
public wrong. no matter who may be the
benefciaries of it.

DO NOT REACH THE EVIL.

All over the country throughout the
present winter more or less serious eff
fort has been made to modify and i'm
prove existing divorce legislation. There
has been absolutely no concert of ac-
ton whatever, and the various measures
which have found birth with that end in
View have been remarkable more for the
strange diversity of view which they
represent than for any other quality
whatever, They denote in any event
that the public sentiment is in existence
which calls for some action in that di-
rection
One Of these measures has been intro
duced in the legislature of this state.
1t shows at least the earnest desire of
It's author to secure a remedy for the
worst abuses of the divorce system. It
IS doubtful, however, whether it will
be effective in accomplishing anything
of that description. The effort it rep
resents is in itself commendabIe. 1t is
not so directed, however, as to meet
the evils which are most threatening.
In this state we do not suffer to any
extent from the evil of having our divorce
courts resorted to by parties from other
states, so that such provisions OF Sena-
tor Lords bill as that which increases
the period of residence and that which
prohibits marriage for six months after
the period of service by publication has
expired are not really material
AS long as the state is willing to grant
divorces for the causes specified in the
Minnesota statute, and permits both
parties to remarry all such provisions
are mere makeshifts. A radical precau-
tfcn which will prevent collision is the
enc great requirement in this behalf. The
court should have it's agent in such
cases, charged with Investigating the de-
tails of the lives and conduct Of the
parties to divorce suits After the full
est investigation by such an official anG
with his approval, and not otherwise the
case should be put on the calendar, and
N4AN piOO1S OAICIGO " ILG court.
Women of well known loose character
are every day securing divorces. Men
whose tastes and dispositions lead them
to promiscuity are every day being re-
leased. The readiness with which di-
vorces may be granted represents. a con-
slant temptation to men and women
alike to disregard their marital obliga-
tons, and to grow FESTIVE under the re-
straints which matrimony places upon
them. Men and women alike
form alien attachments all the
more readily because they know how
easily the bonds which unite them to
their existing partners may be snappdd
through the courts.
All measures such as. that of Senator
Lord will fail of their object What the
country needs is a movement providing
throughout the several states which viii
produce a uniform divorce system. Such
system operating to prevent the re-
marriage of offending parties to di-
vorces will accom- 49,. all that can be
sought in the present condition of pub
lie sentiment. All other or less radical
remedies viii merely amelorate a situa-
ton which while it operates to the adj
vantage of society and the individua,
alike in many respects, is still so over
laid with danger and wrong as to eff
feet the very heart of modern society.
