SUNDAY, MAY IA, 1905.
Divorce Laws.

Kentucky, Indiana, Colorado, Idaho,
Michigan, Oregon and Washington re-
ouire that the State be made a party
to all divorce suits, and that the Com
monwealths attorney defend on behalf
OF the State. The theory upon which
this law rests is that the State Is IN
terested in maintaining the marital rela-
ton, and that 1t Is its duty in all suits
for divorce to see that the spirit of the
law is observed and that the tie is not
dissolved without sufficient cause. Il is
often the case that. divorces are granted
on ex-parte testimony, and sometimes
there Is infamous collision between the
parties to the suit, one or. the other of
them deliberately committing an act or
acts that will. serve as q ground for d.
vorce.
II is obvious that In all such cases the
State should be made co-defendant, and
should be represented in court by IT'S
attorney. An interdenomllational COM
mttee of the Minister'S Conference of
Richmond have taken UP the study OF
tie, divorce evil, and have cided 10 ad-
vocntc the reform above indicated. They
will cndcnvor to have the next General
Assembly enact such law. with the
privilege to tax the fee OF the Common
wealth's attorney in each case as n
part of the cost. Mr.. John Garland Pol
lard has interested himself IN the sub
tect and has communicated with the
authorities in several of the .Stases
where this law Is in force The re-
ports made to him are generally salts
factory, the only difficulty being the fee
There may be objections to the law
which do not appear. but 1t seems to
us to be judicious and expedcnt. The
State should throw every possible safe
guard around the marriage relation and
use its best endeavors to prevent the
spread OF the divorce evil. Men and
women should bn made to understand
that marriage is u holy estate; that 1T
should be entered into discreetly and
reverently, and that the contract must
endure as long as they both shall live.
But, after all, the true remedy lies
circle. Father and mother must set the
example TO son and daughter. and brne
them up with the idea. that the highest
ambition OF the boy should be to be this
head OF family ana the highest idea
OF the girl should DO wfehood and moth
erhood If these principles be thorough

An Incident and a Lesson.

District Attorney Jerome, CT New ork,
in moving for the discharge OF Nan Fat
tcrson, intimated that the newspapers
had prevented him from getting Ver-
dict OF conviction. II do not refer 10
those papers which have merely reported
the proceedings" said he, but to those
that in their editorial remarks, nave
labored to arouse sympathy for tho pris-
oner, with tho result Of serious mis-
carriage of Justice" That is serious
charge to bring against journalism. The
freedom of the press Is guaranteed ny
tho Constitution but the newspaper
which undertakes to obstruct or inter-
fere with the administration Of justice
should DO called 10 account and sum-
marily punished for contempt. There Is
no greater abuse Of privilege--of the
freedom OF the press-thnn for news
paper to undertake to convict or acqu!t
any person who has been arraigned IN
court for trial.
But we doubt II any editorial utterances
on the part Of any Of the New York
newspapers were responsible for the ac-
qulttal of Nan Patterson. a faithless
husband, who had loving and dutifu
wife at home had been paying devoted
attentions to this woman, and had gained
her affection. When he tired of her he
attempted to throw her off and 60 away
for a trip abroad There was last
Interview in carriage, and just what
took place no one but tho woman herself
knows. It Is fair to presume however,
| that she begged him not to desert her,
and that when her entreaties awaited not,
in her Indignation and desperation, She
| killed him.
And public sympathy was with the
woman rather than with the man. This
was clearly shown Mt the conclusion OF
| the trial; n vast crowd gathered about
! the building and when she came out gave
her a rousns cheer. All the world loves
| a lover; all the world despises and holds
In contempt the man who, being faith
| less to his wife, wins the love of an
other woman, however depraved tina
woman may he, makes playthng of her
and when he has tired of his toy casts
1t aside. In all such cases the sympalh.
OF the public is with the woman. J
has always been SO IN this country; !
will always be so. newspapers or n
newspapers. The sympathy OF the NeN
York public With Nan Patterson wa
reused by the published reports of tn
sensational affair, b. the news column
rather than by the editorial columns
and would have been aroused had ther
been no word Of editorial fommen
:, There is lesson in the incident whic
every gay E>o;hario may well take

The South and immigration.

Senator Tillman, In q recent Interview.
said that tho drift Of immigration was
naturally this way. and would continue
to he. as all tho government lands had
been occupied and the opportunities IN
the South along agricultural lines were
certain to attract. I'm our State" said
he. eve have an Immigration bureau. and
the results have been very satisfactory.
i believe the sen coast just now seems
particularly attractive to the Italians and
other Latin races because of the oppoT-
tunities for raising garden truck and,
at this these races seem to be most at
home"
But Senator 'Tillman said also what has
been said In these columns, that'the com.
ing of the Latin races in large numbers
to the South involves grave responsible
ties. IF properly taken care Of" said
he, there is no question but that the
undeveloped resources Of the South can
be brought out in way that will mean
much. On tho other hand, If the rush
when 1t really gets this way, Is not con-
trolled, there is danger that our present
problem may be complicated. Every one
knows that just now all the negroes
are hurrying, when possible, from the
plantations to the cities and the rail-
roads. and there Is no doubt but that
We need labor to make possible the har-
vesting of the crops. 1 know, too, that
an italian can work all round a negro
If he wants to, but do not know whether
he will want to when 1t comes to work
ing for some other man
The immigrants have turned their races
toward the South, and they are coming
in numbers. There Is no doubt about
that. Wo cannot stem the tide. we must
accept tho situation, and we must DC
prepared to meet 1t. For that reason the
movement on the part Of the Chamber OF
Commerce 10 cooperate with the Com.
