GOV. PENNYPACKER be corrected by
ha wing a law that shall be uniform in
all parts OF tho United States. Then
there will be no more trips to Dako-
tn. six months residence, and d.
vorces granted that are really crimes
against laws Of morality.
The leader in this important fight
IL Gov. Samuel w. Pennypacker. Of
Pennsylvania. At recent session Of
the Pennsylvania State Legislature an
appropriation OF $4,000 was made for
the purpose Of having the Governor
call for a national congress, consist
Ing Of three men from each State, to
be appointed by the Governors. These
are to draw up Il uniform law which Is
afterward to be adopted by the Legls-
atures Of each State. In this way a
uniform law can be secured. and Mt
the same time each State retains Its
right TO regulate it's own laws on the
subject OF matrmony
The bill was introduced into the
Legislature by Senator William G.
Sproul, of Delaware County Gov.
Pennypacker knew all Its provisions
II, advance and was the more In favor
OF them because President Roosevelt
in a message to Congress has thought
the matter Of sufficient moment to de-
vote to 1t considerable amount Of
discussion, and to recommend action
to secure uniform laws
In his speeches and arguments Gov
Pennypacker contends with great
force that the laws should be 80 ar
ranged that no person could obtain a
divorce without very grave cause, and
thot above all 1t should not be posi-
bic to get In a legal way in for
cign State that which is not legally
possible in ones commonwealth. He
points out the farce OF letting persons
take up six months dOmicile in an
other common wealth. and says that
the first provision OF the new law
should be IL strict order that the Ill
yOrce must be granted in the State in
which the applicants lived. He shows
convincingly that the evil Of divorce
has become a national menace.
"A few years ago" he says. there
were unhappy marriages. as there will
always he, but the divorce was COM
paratively rare for people considered
marriage serious thing. tie that
could only be dissolved for the most
fragrant causes That a change has
come over the general public is due in
the first place to the publicity given
to the decency defying divorces of the
rich Others have felt that If the rich
dare quickly and openly east off ties
that begin to bore. they could do like
wise. AS Il result divorce is extend
ing all over the country, and the good
effect of preventive Legislation in some
States Is nullified in others. where di-
,orce is granted to all who apply"
Numerous messages from more than
n score OF States have been received
by Gov. Pennypacker in reply to his
call to the different Governors to unite
in concerted action for the preserva-
ton of the purity OF the American
home. Gov. Dawson, OF West Virgin
Ia. writes: Il am thoroughly in sym
pathy with this movement and shall
be glad to appoint delegates to such a
congress- In practically similar strain
other Governors write. all pledgihg
support of the movement. which its
advocates believe will put an end to
the present shockingly indecent system
OF divorce.
