MUCH TOO SWIFT.
Interesting Decision Regarding
aSOuth Dakota Law.
The United States Supreme COurs
Declares That Divorces Grant,
ed TO Temporary Residents
Of that State Are
Not Valid.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The United
States supreme court yesterday again
passed upon the validity of divorces
granted in South Dakota to non-resi-
dents. The case was that of Annie
Andrews VS.. Kate II. Andrews, and
the question "A issue was as to which
was entitled to administer upon the
estate of Charles S. Andrews, whom
both ladies claimed as husband. The
record showed that Mrs. Kate An
drews was his first wife and that her
husband secured a divorce in South
Dakota after remaining there six
months, the time required by the
statute of that state.
The Massachusetts courts held that
the decree had been fraudulently Sc
cured and, refusing to recognize it,
recognized the first wife as the legal
widow of the deceased Mr.. Andrews.
That was the holding of the supreme
court of Massachusetts, and yester-
days opinion affirmed that holding
1T said that Andrews residence in
the state of South Dakota did not
constitute legal domicle. The case
arose out of the fact that Mr.. An
drews' father bequeathed certain
property to "the wife of my son,
Charles S. Andrews"
In passing on the case Justice
White discussed at some length the
question whether the federal consti-
tuition is involved in any way in the
case. lie held that this could not be,
for the reason that the general gov
I,
marriages to delegate; control over
marriages always having been vested
in the states and not parted with by
them. Hence there was no power
that congress could exercise to regu-
late or prohibit divorces, and it must
follow that unless the states were
permitted to control the subject of
divorce among their own citizens the
subject would be entirely uncon-
trolled, in which case the absolute de-
struction of society must be the re-
suit. As Mr.. Andrews had been a cit
iZen of Massachusetts the courts OF
that state had jurisdiction and not
the courts of another state.
1t was evident that Andrews six
months residence in South Dakota
had been taken up for the purpose Of
securing a divorce. That temporary
change of residence did not amount
to domicile nor to change of citi-
zenship. For this reason he held that
the South Dakota court was without
jurisdiction in the divorce proceed
ing and it's decree void. Nor did it
matter if there had been a compro-
mise with the first Mrs. Andrews and
if she had been induced to consent
for a money consideration, as had
been alleged. The fact was that the
case was one for the Massachusetts
courts and not for the South Dakota
courts and they could not be deprived
of their power by this means.

THE BOY TURNED OUT.
Knowledge Gained mt First Hand, In
His Case, Was Not Easily
Forgotten

He was a boy of u who was at the zoo
with his father to see the sights, and as
they stood before the cage occupied by
the chimpanzee the boy inquired;
Father, do them things like boys"
'Mebbe they do, my son." replied the
father; but | guess 1 wouldn't git too
near"
"But that one wants to shake hands"
"Yes, he pears to; but | wouldn't
shake"
Don't you think he wants to be
friends?"
"Mebbe SO, but you kin jest wink at
him to let him know how you feel"
That didn't exactly satisfy the boy, how
ever. The chin" insisted on reaching
out his black paw for friendly grip, and
while the fathers back was turned the
lad extended his hand, says the Boston
Globe.
Next instant his howls caused a rush
of the crowd to see what was the matter,
and as he held up finger which was bitten
to the bone and danced about. the father
produced a handkerchief to tie it up and
explained to the people:
He's my son Claudius, and he's great
hand to find out things. He's just found
out that them critters hev teeth. and if he
ever gifts over this, he won't never want to
shake hands with no more monkeys"

PROPOSITION OF STEEL TRUST.
Something Novel and Startling for
the Democratic Calamity Howl
ers TO Contemplate.

The announcement which the Uni
ted States Steel corporation makes
of its plan for profit sharing with its
army of employees is the most re-
markable proposition of the kind
ever made. The plan of proft-shar-
ing has been tried by several small
corporations, usually with success,
but this is the first time that a COR
poration employing an army of men
larger than was ever assembled for
campaign has announced a distinct
plan and made a public proposition to
divide a portion of its profits among
those in its employ. 1t is a PROPOSE
tion to add to its $1,000 shareholders
168,O00 men to share, in proportion
to their annual earnings, definite
portion of the profits of the immense
business. Mr.. Carnegie contemplated
such a scheme when he was the head
of portion of the plants constitut-
ing the "billion dollar trust" and
doubtless the present proposition is
the working out of the details of his
idea and putting it into active opera
ton.
No one will assume, says the In
dianapolis Journal, that this offer is
inspired by purely philanthropic mo-
tives. Indeed, it may be assumed
that the scheme is dictated largely
by personal and economic considera
tions. Men who have shown the high
est capacity for the successful man

agemcnt of vast industrial affairs
have come to the conclusion that it
is for the interest of the greatest
corporation in the world to giye>ev
cry man employed by it an interest
in its success. The managers of that
corporation have already learned
that the best skill and the best serv-
ice can be secured by paying the
highest wages ever paid in the iron
industry. They have now come to
the conclusion that still better eco
nomic results can be obtained by
adopting a plan which will insure to
all employed lifelong employment by
giving them n share of the profits.
The managers seen that by making
every man a small shareholder he
will have a personal interest in see
ing that nothing is wasted. 1t means
that the managers desire to avoid
strikes and other Interruptions,
which are more disastrous to a mann
moth business than to smaller ones,
by making the employees sharers in
the profits of the enterprise.
The billion-dollar steel trust, con-
cerning which the public has had so
many serious apprehensions and re-
garding the purpose of which so
many warnings have been uttered,
has given the world number of sur
prises. Instead of cutting wages, as
was predicted in some quarters, the
corporation has advanced wages
twice; instead of using its position to
push the prices Of iron and steel to
the highest figure, its influence has
been to keep prices down below those
which Independent companies desired
TO make under the temptation of
demand in excess of supply. 1t has
already recognized the faithful serv-
ice of old employees by gift Of
stock, and now it proposes to make
all who are in the employ of the cor
poration a term of years sharers OF
the profits.
It may seem impossible that this
scheme viii be criticized and con-
demned. nevertheless il is likely that
it win be denounced by those who
would keep labor and capital
two distinct forces in production.
Most people, however, will be inter
ested in watching the experiment OF
making an army OF employees sharers
OF corporations profits.

THERE is NO DELAY.
President Baer Denies that the Read
Ing Railway Co. Is Holding Up Coal


Shipments.
New York Jan. 2O-The following
statement by George F. Baer, prcsi-
dent of the Reading Railroad Co., con-
cerning reports that large quantities
of coal were being held on the com
pany's lines was given out at the
Reading Offices here Monday:
at is not true that there are large
quantities of coal on the line of the
Philadelphia & Reading Co. The traf-
fic is now moving freely and fully to
destination. There is no scarcity of
coal cars. We now have more than
we can use. The coal movement has
been very heavy. Saturday and Sun
day 3,O1S cars of anthracite coal
passed over the Reading division and
during the same time there were I'M
loaded in Philadelphia 4s1 cars, and
at Port Richmond 439 cars of anthra-
cite coal.
"Six collieries with daily produc-
tion of 1000 tons were drowned out
by the Miners union ordering out
the pumping gangs and we were pow
erless TO keep the water out of them
during the strike. Two of these col
lieries are entirely ruined and must
be abandoned. The other four are
being pumped out and in course OF
time will again be worked. Their de-
struction prevents the use of these
surplus ears, deprives the public Of
coal, and many men OF employment.
What would have happened had the
strikers succeeded in drowning ont
all our collieries should give the pub
lie serious Thought"

The FiIipin0s Are Well Satisfied with
American Control In Their
Islands.

The remarkable demonstration at
Manila on Sunday, when 5000 natives
of all classes, parties and religious
beliefs called upon Gov. Taft and
urged and even implored him not to
leave his Office and the islands,
should forever dispel the delusion
that American rule is not desired by
the Filipinos and that they would be
only too glad to be left to them
selves, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
This Filipino aversion to losing
their present governor, manifested
not only in the demonstration at Ma
Mia, but in letters and kilograms
from leading natives all over the
islands, is the result of fear, based
on sad experience with Spanish gov
ernors, that Judge Taft's successor
may not be equally benevolent and
equally Jealous for the welfare of the
islands and their people.
Past experience leads the Filipinos
to lay greater stress upon the per-
sonality of their rulers than an
American community would. Under
Spain it was all matter of chance
whether they got good ruler or a
bad one. They could never be sure
that Spain efficiently desired to do
right by them, and in that desire
would see to it that her representa-
tives should be men who would at
least try TO do right They have not
yet realized that the desires toward

The most important legislation on
tlis subject has been for the crca-
~ tion of tbs forest
reserves. These
'""' reserves now CON
tain GO.175,7Gj acres, of which
13.1G5,j 30 acres have been added
within the last year. The
scientific management and control of
this vast area will afford ample op-
porturity for the energies of the
officers in charge. Forests should
not be reserved from the use of man,
but for his use. The ripe or matured
trees should be marketed and the
growing timber carefully preserved.
Instead of the indiscriminate destruc-
ton of all trees, large and small. the
marketable ones should be so cut
and removed as to leave the young
forest the freeSt and fullest oppoI-
tunity for rapid growth. These re-
serves, declares the Hon. John f.
Lacey, writing in Gunton's magazine,
should be more than self-sup porting.
They should yield a revenue over and
above the expense of their care. Such
grazing should be permitted as can
be doEe without detriment to the
purposes of the reserve. Under wise
and prudent forestry there is no
waste. Ripened trees are removed
and leave space for the younger
growth. In natural conditions in
dividual trees die and are replaced by
others. But when our national for
ests are rightly administered each
year will yield its supply of farmin 3
timber for the use of the people.
Forestry is tree farming on a grand
scale. 1t is no idle dream. but we
may reasonably hope that in the
future the nations woods will not
only protect the permanence and pur
ity of the water supply, but will in
large degree supply the needs Of
the people for timber products.
