MR.. Ericsson AND DIVORCE.

Hon. E. G. Ericsson OF this city was
the retiring president Of the State Bar
Association which held Its annual
meeting in Pierre last week. AS the
retiring president he offered one of the
leading papers OF the session, taking as
bis subject .''Divorce." Mr.. Ericsson
showed that the socalled divorce colo.
MES had given South Dakota an unen.
yiable and undeserved reputation for
looseness In divorce. He claimed that
the causes on which divorces are al
lowed In this state are just, reasonable
and proper and similar to those allowed
In most Of the other states, OF the
twenty-five divorces In Union county
In 1904 thirteen of them we're granted
TO temporary residents and In Mime
haha county this was the case with one
hundred and twenty-six out Of one
hundred and fifty cases. Mr.. Ericsson
recommended amendments to the Law
which would remove all Inducements
to outside divorce seekers, and yet be
fair, as follows:
II. Extend the period Of bona iide
residence required before suit can be
brought, from six months as now fixed,
to one year which was the law In the
early days OF Dakota Territory; show
ing that there are only four states and
territories In the Union which now per.
init less than one year.
-. That all suits for divorce againsl
a nonresident defendant be brought
only In the county Of plaintiffs resi-.
dence. This was also the Law Of Dako,
ia In early days.
''3. That no divorce case be heard
except at q term of court.
"a. That decree Of divorce when
rendered shonld not become absolute
for q period Of six months from date
This would give opportunity for recon
ciliation, or If there was an intention
to remarry, would afford decent pc
riod of mourning, and also give oppor-
tunity for proper acquaintance with
the intended, 80 that the first mistake
might not be repeated.

What docs that mean2 Nothing less
than the elimination of the last ele-
ment OF uncertainty ffrofn The problem
OF finding the position OF ship at sea.
Hitherto the one weak point In naviga-
ton has been the difficulty of carrying
standard time on a voyage. Observa-
tions for local time as well as for lati-
tude have been exact, but the compari-
son OF local with standard time for OBJ
tanning the longitude has involved a
certain amount Of guesswork. The
best chronometer Ii not quite infaIiible,
ana some allowance. which may not be
precisely right. has always to be made
for errors.
But with time signals received from
national observatory every day ut
noon the mariner viii know his way
over any part or the wide ocean as ac-
curately as IL he were threading a
buoyed channel. The chronometer will
join the cross staff and the astroIabe
on the junk hemp or discarded make
shifts.
And OF course ship that can COM
municate with the shore for one pur-
pose Is equally In touch with the world
for any other communication It needs
90 make.

FRIDAY, in the house, Senate Joint
Resolution No 3, In charge OF Repre-
sentative Martin, was unanimously
passed. This Is the.resolution author
izing the governor OF South Dakota to
enter into and sign q compact with the
governor OF Nebraska, as agreed upon
by the joint commission appointed by
the two states to fix the disputed boun-
daries along the Missouri riyer in this
county and few points just above. It
will be remembered that Hon. E. G..
Ericsson is chairman of that joint COM
mission and that the boundaries were
carefully gone over and agreed upon
last year. A similar resolution will
have to be adopted by the Nebraska
legislature. when the compact will go
to congress for national approval. The
matter is being hurried up little in
order that the present session Of con-
gress may authorize this greatly needed
and mutually satisfactoryagreement.

AHAppY NEW YEAR.

Eight stalwart captains of industry,
among them our farsighted James J.
Hill, have gone on record la q Boston
contemporary to the effect that this
country is entering on new era Of un-
precedented prosperity. They base
their conclusions on the increased price
of farm products, on the promised de-
velopment OF the country's mineral re-
sources, and as matter OF course on
the prospect of a bigger railroad busi-
ness than ever. Do you know, we have
felt this thing in the air for some time
and have refused to be alarmed by the
kickers and croakers, who cannot see
beyond their own snub noses and conse-
quently imagine the outlook is dark
and dreary. Why, we are even opti-
mistic enough TO hope that with the
beginning Of q new year Tom Lawson
will have vanished into thin, hot air,
Nan Patterson will go into that modest
retirement, either inside or outside OF
the penitentiary, that now fairly yearns
for her and Cassie Chadwick and her
retinue Of gullible bankers and brokers,
will be only q dim and misty memory.

also do away with some OF the log roll

which nearly every year obstructs the
passage OF worthy legislation and
squanders large sums because tied up

A RECENT decision of the state SUI
preme court holds that the affirmative
vote Of city in favor OF granting Ii
cense tc saloons, Is good for one year.
This makes it incumbent upon the sa-
looms to petition for vote every year
and to see that 1t is carried. In Mitch
ell and in other towns where no vote
was taken last year this decision Is
causing the saloons considerable anx-
iety.
