Uniformity In Divorce Legislation

Attempts are to be made this summer
to bring about uniformity in the legis-
lation of the different States with respect
to divorce, and commissioners appointed
by Governors of States are to meet for
the purpose. This project is more rea-
sonable than the agitation for Federal
law on the subject, which would require
an amendment to the Constitution before
it could be enacted; yet attempts at uni
form divorce legislation have been unsuo-
cessful in the past
What shall this uniformity beP Shall
it be in the adoption by the other States
of the policy Of New York, which allows
divorce for adultery only? In every
State except New York and South Caro-
lima, which has no divorce law, other
causes are allowed-desertion in ell, and
cruelty, drunkenness and neglect to
provide in all except two.
Is it reasonable to expect that the uni
forrnity sought for will be in the elimina-
ton of all causes except one, as in New
York, or OF all causes, as in South Caro-
lima? If there is to be uniformity is it
not more likely that it will have to be
m.New York's divorce legislation getting
into line with that Of all the rest Of the
States except South Carolina by allowing
other causes than adultery?
Such a concession by New York is
not at all probable-no more probable
than that the other States will change
their divorce policy to agree with ours.
The result would be the same il Federal
legislation was made possible by con-
stitutional amendment. The represent
tatives in Congress Of the States which
allow other causes are so vastly pre-
ponderant that there would seem to be
no possibility OF the adoption Of the New
York plan.
Uniformity ID feasible, however, and
eminently desirable as concerning the
period of desertion required for divorce.
This differs widely. 1t extends from
one year to five years. There should
also be uniformity in the period Of resi-
dence In the State required to bring an
action for divorce. This extends from
six months in Idaho, Nebraska, Nevada,
South Dakota and Texas, to three years
in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The Southern States are supposed to
be especially representative Of conser-
vatism. In every one of them except
South Carolina various causes OF divorce
are allowed. So also is it in the conser-
vative States Of New England. In all
the original thirteen States Of the Union
except New York and South Carolina
this more liberal divorce policy prevails.
The theory is that when matrimony
becomes an intolerable hardship because
Of desertion, cruelty or drunkenness, to
wives more especially, marriage is legally
dissolved, and practically the majority
of divorces granted are to wives for
those causes.
So general is this policy In the Union
that it may be called the historical Ameri-
can policy as to divorce. Any attempt
to bring about its abandonment is sure
to be resisted by the great preponderance
Of legislative sentiment.
~ In the matter Of residence and the
period Of desertion required for divorce,
however, uniformity OF legislation ought
to be as feasible as 1t Is desirable.

Does Japan Mean to Keep Manchurta?

It is taken for granted that any treaty
concluded between the belligerents in
the Far East will include among its con-
ditions the immediate evacuation Of the
whole Of MaRehuris by Russian troops
and the surrender of the railway which
runs from the Siberian frontier through
Manchuria to Hardin, and there forks,
one branch going to Vladivestok and
the O. her to Port Arthur. But what will
be done with the evacuated territory
and the surrendered railway? 1t has
hitherto been assumed that, with all
reasonable promptitude, the Japanese
soldiers would be withdrawn from the
three Manchurian provinces, with the
exception of the tip of the Liaotung
peninsula, which contains Port Arthur
and Dalny; that Chinese sovereignty
now suspended. would become forthwith
operative in the reclaimed region, and
that China would take over the Manchu-
rian railroad system at it's estimated
value, the price being payable, Of course,
to its conqueror, Japan.
Such has been the current assumption;
but is it reconcilable with the news that
the Toxic Government, which has no
superfuity of funds, has decided to ex-
pend at once a very large sum Of money
on an extension of the railway, which
already connects Fusan, at the south
east corner of Corea, with Seoul, the. capt.
tai of the Hermit Kingdom, to Wiju,
near the mouth of the Yalu, and thence
through southeastern Manchuria to
Laoyang, the scene Of kURoPATKIN's
first defeat, where junction would be
effected with the railway running from
Newchwang and Port Arthur to Harbin9
Although the utmost secrecy. has been
maintained with regard to the matter,
there seems to be no doubt that rush
orders for the needful material have
been placed within the last few days
in the United States.
The material, we are told, includes
$50 steel bridges, $50 locomotives and 1900
cars. Significant conditions Of the con-
tract are that the material is to be shipped
overland to one of our Pacific ports with
90 much expedition that it may be de-
hvered inside of two months at points
on the west coast of Corea nearest to the
localities where it will be used. 1t is
computed that. by the route. selected,
the freight charges alone for the transpor-
tation of the plant will amount to at least
81, 2OO,0 900. 1t Is further calculated that
the locomotives will cost $2,225 900 and
the cars S2,OOO, 900, while the outlay for
the bridges, which are to be furnished
by the United States Steel Corporation,
will depend, OF course, upon the tonnage.

Editor Advertiser: This morning,
when discussing with a friend the war

dus-' Permit me to congratulate the
writer and your readers on what
seems to me the sanest exposition of
the current absurdity respecting the
so-called Yellow Peril that has come
under my notice in the daily press
since the willy Slav, aided by his
French sympathizers, have succeeded
in partly hoodwinking, the unthinking
minority of Western civilization.
AS the writer pithily points out it
was not the Orient that solicited the
Occident, but the very reverse, and
without any suavity, but with unde-
niable force by the persuasive strength
of modern cannon. The aggression by
which England forced her trade upon
China was followed by a similar act
on the part of this country with Japan.
That sagacity engendered by a civil
ization which was dignified by the
amenities of sweetness and light"
when the Roman Legions, landing on
progenitors still in the savage stage OF
evolution, induced the Japanese En-
peror to send to Europe special en-
voys to enquire into the best Western
armies navies. education, arts, sci

each commission resulted in the adop-

with the result that finally they sue

symptoms of an inward trouble which

postmaster at Koloa, Kauai. to recover
$27. OG.5O, the amount of his defalca-

money orders.
This is a formality to obtain legal
possession of Regos property for restf-
tuition. Rego will be put on trial under
criminal proceedings just the same.

Good Prospect That 1t
Will Be Cleared
Next Term.

Judge De Bolts jurors are excused
until next week. By the end of this
term the First Judge will have dis
posed of all of the civil cases taken
by him, leaving only Judge Gear
moiety of the calendar in arrears. Judge
De Bolt, who is to preside at the April
term and have charge of the criminal
calendar. believes that Judges Robin
son and Lindsay will at that term clear
off the civil calendar and have time to
spare for aiding him with the con-
gested criminal calendar. This has
been thrown behind by the Jones muir
der trial so that more than a hundred
cases will go over to the ensuing term.
DISPUTED FINDINGS.
J. F. Hackfeld, guardian of the prop
erty of Heinrich Wilhelm Ehlers, a
minor, valves all claims to statutory
commissions for moneys received and
disbursements as shown by. his
accounts. In the same matter the
=
masters report finding that the Sc
curities mentioned in the mortgage
therein referred to are insufficient and
inadequate for the amount loaned and
says that said securities are ample and
sufficient, all of which said guardian
is ready to verify
DECISION ACCEPTED.
H Hackfeld & Co. Ltd in it's suit
against w. C. Achi and others for
foreclosure of mortgage, files a remis-
