| to be generally agreed upon at this time.
although far disclosed the Pennsyl-
vania railroad has not yet specifically ac-
cepted the proposal to locate the station
building north OF Massachusetts, avenue.
The matter of financial adjustments in this
connection remains to be studied, in the
light of the Districts protest Of last win
ter against the bargain struck by the Bal
timore and Ohio when that property was
distinct from the Pennsylvania railroad.
While Congress is discussing public build
irgs and District finances it is hoped that
attention will be given to the urgent need
OF a new official home for Washington's
municipal government. This project cannot
be postponed another season without Sc
rious discredit to the District and the gov
ernment- II should be started now In order
that it may be completed when the great
park improvements have been comprehen-
sively undertaken.
The code amendments may be expected
as matter of course, considering the
strong reasons for their immediate adoption
and the intelligent manner Of their exploita-
tion. 1t was a decided benefit to the Dis
trict to have the code enacted at all. Now
that 1t has become the law Of the District,
it's occasional change tending to bring 1t to
an approximate state of legal perfection
should be of comparatively easy accom-
plishment.
One need for which the District pleads i'm
mediate attention is the provision of money
in the urgent deficiency bill for the pur-
chase of books for the public library in
season for use when the new building is
opened to the people. If this item is not
provided for In this manner the new house
will be put in service with a mere handful
of volumes on it's shelves and the munif1-
cence of Mr.. Carnegie will stand in striking
contrast against the parsimony or the pro-
crastination of Congress which. in accept
ing the gift of building, undertook to
properly maintain the library.
The improvement of the Anacostia river
is regarded as among the most vital needs
of the District appealing directly and per-
sonally to every member of Congress. The
project is ready for final approval, the sur
veys have been completed and all that Is
required is the defininitive touch of legisla-
tion to start the Gredges working.
Taken altogether the local list of necessi-
ties and opportunities is exceptionally i'm
portant this winter. There is room for
every ardent friend of the District to get
in line to give a long, strong pull for the
sake of the capital, whose requirements
| must be constantly pressed upon the atten-
ton of Congress

Washington and the Divorce Question

A glance at the bare record of appllca-
tions for divorces filed in this District with
in the past few weeks would tend to per-
suade one unfamiliar with the situation
that life in Washington Is not conducive
to success in matrimony. Over hundred
unhappy couples have appeared in court
as petitioners, on the one side or the other,
for legal separation for various causes.
To those correctly informed as to the state
of the case this rush for the divorce mill
has meant merely late realization by the
unfortunates that they must hasten to file
their petitions before the new law could
take effect limiting the basis Of divorce
to a single cause-that of infidelity. The
District doubtless has only its fair aver
age of mismated couples. The change Of
the law is challenged by some who believe
that the divorce cause should be broader
than that now recognized by the statute,
whereas the code provision is as earnestly
supported by others, who believe that
much of the so-called divorce evil springs
from too great freedom in the obtaining of
legal separations. There are strong ar
guments on both sides, and they will pre-
sumably be effectively stated by the cham
pions of the opposing schools of thought
during the future sessions of Congress as
the PROJECT Tor amending the divorce pro-
vision of the code is advanced. Mean
while, TEe Star believes, along with most
other American newspapers which have
followed this subject that the real divorce
evil consists in the main in the lack Of
uniformity in the divorce laws of the dis
tinct Jurisdictions. The imposition of re-
striction upon the grounds for divorce in
the District will probably result in the
temporary exile of such of it's residents as
desire separation on other grounds than
here obtain to some state where they can
secure divorces under the local statutes
This Immediately discriminates between
those who are able and those who are un-
able financially to follow this course.
causing In effect application of the local
law only to the poorer victims Of marital
mistakes. Were the statutes similar In
all the states the divorce problem would
be put upon a rational basis for effective
study and solution. Until it has been thus
regulated. by general agreement among the
legislatures-a virtually impossible course
or by constitutional amendment giving
Congress the power to legislate upon this
subject for the whole country, it will re-
main one of the standing dilemmas of our
social organization.
