OUR CHAOTIC DIVORCE LAWS.
Reasons Why Divorce Cannot be Gov
erned by Federal Statutes.

Cardinal Gibbons lately declared
that, in his opinion, the worst evil
from which the American community
is suffering is the legal federation of
divorce. IL Is also reported that Pres
ident Roosevelt at no distant date
will advise congress to institute an
exhaustive examination of the divorce
laws of the several suites with a
view to the devising of some remedy
for their Gissimilarity and for the
fertilization OF the marriage tie. There
is no objection to such an inquiry. II
might, and probably would, help to
create a current of opinion that would
impel certain states, In which the di.
vorce laws are particularly lax To in.
troduce reforms which, beyond a
doubt are imperativcly called for. 1t
should be distinctly understood. how
ever that an amendment of the Fede-
raj Constitution which should en-
Vorce law for all of the states and
territories Is out Of the question.
Even IL such constitutional amend
ment were not impractiCable its ex.
pediency is doubtful. Such tremend
Gus invasion OF the rights reserved to
the states as would be the transfer
to the federal government OF the ex-
elusive power to regulate marriage
and divorce would throw the door
wide open TO a rapid transformation
of our present political system into a
unified and highly centralized govern
ment like that of France.
The discussion of the expediency OF
such a constitutional amendment is
however. essentially academic, foI
never would II be adopted by the pre-
scrihed number-three-fo urths--of the
states. II never would be adopted, be
cause the people of the several states
would never agree as to the scope and
character of uniform divorce law
The Catholics would iGsist-hy the
tenets of their religion they are
bound to insist-that divorce shall

ever. Marriages are sometimes,
very rarely. annulled by the pope on
canonical grounds. but n divorce in
the legal sense of the word never has
been and never will be sanctioned by
the head OF the Catholic church. The
only state m oar union which accepts
the Catholic view of the indissolubil.
ity of marriage is South Carolina,
which has no divorce laws. Members
OF the Protestant Episcopal church

are engraved the circles of altitude
and the lines of bearing. From this
map, by a slight calculation, and by
revolving the transparent scale until
it is opposite certain figures in
dicated on the map, the ships location
can be instantly taken. The name of
this particular star is obtained easily
by reference to the nautical almanac

This seemingly simple device is
already in use on the American Line
and the Red Star Line Of steamers
and every new test reports success
1t is the result of many years study
and hard labor on the part of DR..
Geisinger whose idea it is. Even
after the working model had been
made and found satisfactory a diff
fculty arose. 1t seemed impossible
to duplicate by any mechanical means
the transparent indicator. No en-
graVer could be found who was will
ing to undertake the work of reproduc-
ing exactly the fine lines and figures
on this scale, the use of which de-
pended entirely on accuracy. The in
yentor Immediately went at the task
OF planning a machine which would
make the desired lines, and after in
finite labor he constructed a mechani-
cal device which engraves on the
scale exactly the Ines of his in.
senious original model.

one cause only. to wit adultery. New
York, however, is the only state which
has based It's divorce law on this
principle. In twenty states and ter
ritories wlllful desertion for the
short term of one year Is a sufficient
cause for the dissolution of the mar
riage bond. Desertion for two years
suf1ces in twelve state and territories,
and also in the District of Columbia
A desertion for three years constitutes
an adequate cause in thirteen other
states and territories, including Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and
New Hampshire A failure, during
one year. on the part of the husband
to support his wife is ground for q
divorce in seven states A lack of
support Is n sufficient cause but no
limo Is specified in nine other states
including Massachusetts, Maine, Yer
mont and Rhode Island
Now, 1t IS obvious that such laws
would not have been placed and re-,
tanned upon the statute books unless
they had been upheld by public
opinion In their respective states. II
Is, therefore, necessary TO act upon
public opinion in order to secu. even

JOAQUIN MILLER'S YARN.
A Startling Story Told by the Poet Of
the Sierras.

Captain John Healy, the millionaire
mining and railroad promoter OF
Alaska, tells the following on Joaquin
Miller, the Poet of the Sierras."
Miller had been in Alaska for some
time when he concluded to come down
into civilization again and make some
money lecturing. One afternoon | met
him in one of the big cities, and after
exchanging frontier greetings the
poet said: Captain, you must bring
your daughters to hear my lecture on
Alaska
Il promised, and when we reached
the theater we found a box awaiting
us. Well, Joaqin came on, long hair,
long beard, high boots, flannel shirt,
true western style. OF course, he got
a big hand on his appearance alone
Then he started in TO portray Alaska
as only poet could. He held mis-
listeners spellbound as he described
the progress and future of the great
northwest. Finally, to vary his theme,
Joaquin started to tell some pretty
good mining stories, but he reached a
One night l was invited to
dance in miners cabin, and while
Fill Dalton scraped away on his fiddle
we just hoed it down. But the miners
tramped in and out so much between
dances that before midnight the ladies
declared the floor was so slippery they
couldn't dance another step unless
something was done.
Then, continued Joaquin, after
an eloquent pause, something was
done that never was possible in min
ing days in California. Each miner
CALAMITY opened his buckskin powder
pouch ana sprinkled gold dust on the
floor! And this was repeated through
out the night
Joaquin certainly had the audience
or he would never have dared to con-
tinue as he did.
And in the morning, ladies and
gentlemen, those miners never
troubled themselves about sweeping
up that gold dust. They Just h1tched up
their dog sleds and rode away
There was a slight agitation in the
audience, which Joaquin must have
recognized as ominous CT incredunty,
but he was equal to it. With a wave
Of his hand toward my box he said:
And my old friends up there in the
box, Captain Healy, from Alaska,
Will substantiate what | say.
1t was master stroke OF the poet,
for the house burst into applause. and

West Point.

There are numbers of men between
the ages of IS and 25 who have taste
for the military, yet have not the pull
to get themselves appointed lieuten-
ant-general of the army at once.
To such as these West Point holds
out attractions.
Graduates of West Point may as
pire to all the lower grades in the
line of commissioned officers. Indeed,
West Point men now and then get to
be colonies.
Some think the government should
have, in addition to West Point, a
medical school where general officers
might be trained. Others maintain
that the education of general officers
may safely be left to take care of
itself-Life.

PERFECT PEACE.

DR.. Lines, who has a keen sense of
humor, carried off the anecdotal
honors at a recent chamber of COM
merce dinner with the following
story:
'At the time of King Edwards re-
covery from his threatened fatal i'll
ness with appendicitis" he said,
thanksgiving services were held all
over the kingdom. At one of these
the services were to close with the
singing of a well known hymn, which
happened to be in the back of the
books used in that parish"

They amount to little now, for the mo-

When there are few of the flies and
