In the approaching city election the

There are grave questions for the

ROOSEVELT'S MESSAGE ON d..
vORCE.

President Roosevelt's brief message
tistics and uniform divorce laws will
produce different effects on different
minds. People who have Obtained two
or three divorces by false pretcnscs
and sharp practice will regard the
President as dangerous mcddlcr, but
decent people from one end of the
country to the other will rejoice that
the attention of Congress ana of the
States has been directed to this i'm.
portant matter. That the censOrs have
taken no notice of divorce statistics
for twenty years Is n remarkable and
somewhat discreditable fact. and the
suggestion that Congress should take
steps to correct this fault In the future
Is highly proper. but the chief point
in the message is "the hope entertain.
States can he secured. To the end that
there may be enacted upon the subject
of marriage and divorce uniform
laws" There are not many thoughtful
people In this country who do not re
gret that the constitution gives Con
gress no power TO leglslatc on this sub
icct. but II Is a vain regret. There
will probably never he u national dl
vorcc law In this country. and tn,
only hope there Is of relief from the
evil of unwise and conflicting dlvorc,
laws Is that held out by the President
of cooperation between the States
Such cooperation will no doubt be sen
sbly FASTENED by the notice which the
President has taken of the subject and
still more by the statistics which Con
Grcss may direct the Census Bureau
to compile. The probability Is thai
one sight of the figures will produce st
much condemnation that the reform
will Immediately take shape.
