has come into contact with more of
the influential members of the party
and, hence, is better qualified TO say
what the party wants.
The President. however, has great
confidence in his own judgment. and
is disposed TO do what he thinks is
best, whatever may be the views Of
those leaders of his party who differ
With him. Hence there is a chance
that there wiz be a split in the party
on the question as TO whether or not
there shall be an effort to revise the
tariff at this time.
Mr.. Cannon says that there is no
pledge in the republican platform TO
revise the tariff and that the great
business interests of the country are
against any tariff tinkering. It was
understood. he says. in the presiden-
'tial campaign that the republican
party was in favor of letting things
remain as they are. and thar that was
the main reason why the republican
party was victorious by such an enor-
nous victory. Is Mr.. Cannon right i'll
holding that the belief that the Repub-
licsns wouldn't disturb the tariff con
tIibuted more than ans olner one
thing TO the success of their party in
the presidential campaign? There is
no doubt that Mr.. Roosevelt owes his
election to the fact that there was
feeling that it was advisable TO let
Mell enough alone, the country being
prosperous. but it doesn't seem 70 us
thai that feeling wGs based on a desire
that the tariff schedules shouldn't be
reduced. The President seems TO
think that his election carried with it
Z pledge that the tariff should be re-
vised by its friends. and h. wants To
keep that pledge.
Mr. Cannon makes the point that If
the tariff must be revised the work
should be done in The spring. and
should it be announced now that there
Is To be an extra session in the fail
for the purpose of making tariff re-
visions there would at once be notice
able a stagnant condition in the in
Gustries and business throughout the
country, and that. this stagnation
would continue until the work of re-
vision was completed. That would
mean about a year of hard times,
whereas if the extra session should be
called in the spring, and the work
quickly done. there would be only a
few months of dull times
Doesn't Mr.. Cannon make a mis-
take in supposing that an effort to re-
wise the tariff would be productive
of depression in business and the in
dustries? Why should it? The work
of revision will be done by the Re
publicans, and they pretend that they
are the friends of protection. There
is no reason for thinking therefore,
that any protected interest would suf-
for an account of anything that party
would do unless the demand for lower
tariff in the Republican party is much
greater than it is generally believed
to be. 1t will be interesting to see
what the outcome of the difference
between the president and the speaker

REVISION OF TARIFF
is VERY UNCERTAIN.
Savannah News.)

a day OF two ago it was regarded
as certain that Congress would be
called in extra session early in Octo-
Der for the purpose of reducing a few
of the tariff schedules. Now there is
doubt whether there will be an extra
session at that time, if, in fact, any
attempt will be made at all to revise
the 'ariff.
Mr.. Cannon, the speaker. has taken
a firm stand against revision, and par
ticularly against an extra session in
the fall for the purpose of reducing
tariff schedules. As he is very in
fuential it is not improbable that the
President will think the matter over
again before finally deciding the mat
ter.
Mr.. Cannon is of the opinion that
the President is misinformed as to the

publican party for tariff revision. He

as time went on AID the boy came
more IL contact with The Journal he
began 10 read it to some extent. ana
of course after having once tasted OF

SIRE TO learn more of this new friend
until this desire grew into a habit ana
an appetite. and now he will actually
come home from school at noon and
read in The Journal before he dimes.
To the casual reader this might not
fseem to teach any great lesson. but

with news Of the war across the pond

IN school could do, and which he could
not learn from his school books. This

THE SOUTH DAKOTA
DIVORCE LAWS.


South Dakota is on the point of re-
pealing the divorce laws that have
brought her SO much unpleasant no.
tOriety. 1t IS said that, in the event
of their report, North Dakota will
pass a divorce code even more liberal
than that of her sister state. and
make a bid on the eastern business
that the other Dakota has heretofore
been getting.-Savannah News.
We have no idea what South Dakota
may be onthe point of doing, but what
ever she might do she could not either
repeal or pass a"divorce law that
would affect anyone other than her
own people
As a matter of fact, the South Da-
kota divorce laws are just as stringent
as those of almost any other state.
with the one exception, that any resi-
dent of the state may apply for and
be granted a divorce, if he or she
is entitled to it, without regard TO
the length of time which the plaintiff
has resided there since establishing a
permanent residence. AS it requires
only six months to gain a residence
in that state, that is the limit of time
which must expire before a person
taking up a residence there can begin
action for divorce.
These are facts which the general
public, probably, does not know. 1t is
no easier to secure a divorce there
than elsewhere, and the marriage
bond is not dissolved except where
the evidence shows that legal grounds
exist for granting relief. The one ele-
ment Of time-length of residences
the only material difference between
the laws of that state and those of
other states.
But the question arises-why. Il
grounds for divorce exist, should a
person be required TO live an extend
ed length of time in one locality before
being permitted to obtain a decree of
divorce. If the grounds for disso-
luton of the marriage tie are sufi-
Gent, what difference does it make
whether the plaintiff has resided in
any particular state six months or
six years? If a plaintiff is entitled 70
a divorce, he or she ought TO have it
and length of residence has absolutely
nothing to do with the merits of the
case.
Of course, numerous people have
taken advantage of the fact that, by
a six months residence in South Da-
kota, they could have their divorce
cases tried there instead of airing
them among their personal friends
and acquaintance in other states. and
a certain amount of disagreeable pub
licity has in those cases been avoided.
but the same evidence had to be sub
mitted that would have been required
anywhere. Other persons, though
such cases are rare have probably
established residence there secretly.
so as to avoid a contest by the defen-
dant, but they could have done the
same thing anywhere else by taking
more time for it. But in all of these
cases, it does not follow that the
merits Of the plaintiffs charges were
allowed to pass without the proper in.
vestigation or that the divorces have
been granted without sufficient ground
therefor.
1t is hardly probable that South Da-
kota will change her divorce laws Just
yet, or at least not until a healthier
moral sentiment in favor of divorce
reform becomes more general over the
country at large than it is to-day.
