They Need Not Swear.

Under ruling made by Attorney
General Coleman. the form of affidavit
which accompanies marriage licenses
must be changed in every county in the
sstate. For several years the probate
judges have required persons seeking
marriage licenses to make affidavit
THAT they, or either of their parents,
sare not epileptic, imbecile, feeble
minded or afflicted with insanity. The
attorney general holds that the probate
Judge cannot compel the person seek
ing marriage license to prove that his
parents have never been afflicted with
any of the diseases mentioned. The
NEW marriage license law enacted last
winter does provide that where the
probate judge knows the parents OF the
persons asking for a license to be al
jflicted with such disease, he may refuse
to grant license.

That wonderful Divorce Law.

The supreme court will be called on
to construe further the wonderful d.
yorce law OF Kansas. The law pro-
vides that divorce shall not become
final until six months after the de-
cree has been granted. At Emporia
two months ago a woman was given a
divorce from her husband. Recently
she noticed that he was making up
to another woman. taking her to
church and buying her peanuts and
popcorn. She says she is going into
court to have a ruling on the question
of whether the man has a right to
keep company" with another woman
before his divorce becomes final. The
case is as deep as another which arose
under somewhat similar circumstan-
ces. A woman was divorced from her
husband. Before the six months had
expired he was elected to the Office OF
district Judge. Thereupon his divorced
wife had her visiting cards printed
with the title, announcing herself as
Mrs. Judge Blank" Society in the
district broke all to pieces over the
question of whether she had the right
to do it.-Kansas City Journal.
