the hope of Mr.. Bear, and his colleag gues
was to destroy the miners union They
failed in this and like whipped towards,
they try to place the responsibility upon
the miners. The people, however, will
not accept Divine Right Bears state

and they praise and defend the miners
for their behavior during the strike,
while the operators are cursed and con-
demned.
The United States supreme court has
given the South Dakota Divorce law an
awful jolt. The supreme court of that
state also came in for mild roast.
It, was held that the state court had
no jurisdiction, for the fact that di-
vorces are granted when it is known
that applicants have taken up their
residence in the state. temporarily, and
for no other purpose than to secure a
divorce. It would seem that continu-
Gus criticism of the South Dakota di-
vorce law throughout the country,
would suggest to the legislature of that
state, the desirability of amending the
in other states.
A Bavarian legislator in the German
! Reichstag on Monday criticised the re-
| cent telegram to Emperor William to
the Bavarian diet when it refused to
vote $4,000 to art. The Bavarian con-
| tended that the emperor had no right to
| interfere in the internal affairs of an
Individual state. To which, Chancellor
, Won Buelow replied that the emperor
! had the full right to express his per-
| sonal views like any other Prussian.
| He further said:
II express the hope that the members
Of all parties will avoid uterances cal
culated to raise doubts abroad regard
ing the unity Of the empire and regard
ing. the devotion of the. people to, and
their love sof the imperial idea. This
idea is embodied in the dearest recol-
lections Of the German people and 1t
future nobody should be left in doubt
that our people are holding. fast to the
imperial idea and that it is unshaken
and inviolate."
The chancellor need loses no sleep over
this. The people of the world already
know that all is not harmony in Ger
many. The imperial idea there is not
inviolate. The fact that there are
nearly 200 socialists now holding seats
in the Reichstag is sufficient evidence
that Imperial Germany is doomed.
