DAKOTA DIVORCES NO GOOD.

The most important decision ever rem
dered by the United States Supreme court,
involving the marriage relation, was
that handed down last Monday, in which
it is held that a divorce is not valid
when the persons divorced are not resi-
dents of the State in which the decree
is granted.
This decision puts an end to what are
commonly called Dakota divorces, and
will be applauded by all right-minded
persons, for it is founded on principles OF
common sense and equity. The effect OF
the decision is far reaching in its con-
sequences. Persons who have been re-
lieved of martial bonds on one pretext
or another in the Dakotas, but who have
not been legal residents of the State in
which the decree was granted, and have
been married second time, are bigam-
lists under the law as soon as they enter
any other State in the Union. In the
other State the original marriage COM
pact is undissolved.
1t is cheering and encouraging to have
the highest tribunal in the land take this
important step toward divorce reform
The granting of divorces on some sort
Of huggery -muggery proceeding in the
party is a resident and where only one
party is ever heard, has become a ma
tional scandal and disgrace.
All those who regard the marriage as
too sacred to be lightly dissolved will
rejoice in this decision.

Webster's Weekly.

THE SECRET OF TRUE PROGRESS.
Webster's Weekly
Nothing speaks better for town than
the fact that the cause of education is
cherished by it's citizens. people who
appreciate good schools are presumed to
be intelligent and enterprising. One feels
safe in casting in his lot with such. He
feels that the future is secure; that pro-
vision is being made for the rising gen.
Grafton to do greater things than their
fathers are now able to do. 1t is no ac-
cident that the States that have the best
schools are the most prosperous 1t is
no accident that the towns and cities
that are doing the most for education
are outstripping those that are content
with minimum expenditure for schools.
Show us a community where the aver
age of intelligence is low and we will
point you to one that is a laggard in the
race of industrial development. It's peo-
pie are poor because they don't know how
to better their condition. The wealth
of a town is not in bricks and mortar
and machinery but in mind and char
acter Destroy the former and intelli-
gent minds and trained hands will re-
store them, but what does ignorance
build?

The publisher of newspaper has
one thing to sell and one thing to

and the space in his columns to
rent. Can anyone inform us why
he should be expected to give
away either the one or the other?
He can if he SO chooses, and he
does, as matter of fact, furnish a
great deal of space rent free. But
it does not follow that he ought to
be expected to do so. If it be rec.
ognized as a contribution, exactly
as would be the giving. away Of
sugar or coffee by grocer. But
strange to say it is not looked upon
in that light at all; and yet every

of its space and the sale of the

chants success depends on selling
his goods, instead of giving them
away.-Cottonwood Report.
