Washington, Feb. 21.-The congress
on uniform divorce laws devoted
much time to discussing the report of
the committee on resolutions, submit
ted yesterday, embracing various re-
concentrations on the subject of mar
riage and divorce. 1t was decided by
a considerable majority of the dele
gates that not less than two years
residence should be required ON the
part of a plaintiff who has changed his
or her state dOmicile since the cause
of divorce arose, where jurisdiction
depends on the residence Of the plain
tiff. This feature of the report was
not adopted without much debate.
A warm discussion was precipitated
over the following section of the
report:
IAN innocent and injured party,
should not be compelled to ask for a
dissolution of the bonds of matrlmOny
but should be allowed at his or her
option to apply for divorce from bed
or board. Therefore divorces a mensa
should be retained where already ex-
listing and provided for in states where
no such rights exist.
The proposition was vigorously Op-
posed by DR.. Henry G. Winton, OF
Trenton, n. T., who maintained that
separation should not be granted Tor
the reason that it might tend to bring
a wrongful mode Of life. His argu-
ment was combatted by Chairman
Smith, of the committee, who assert
ed his belief that DR.. WintOn placed
human nature in too low a plane.
A number of women left the
when Miss Fanny Leake Cummings,
of the state Of Washington, declaring
that the resolution would put a pre-
MUM on vice, produced a OF
statistics in support of her argumeLa-
The resolution finally was adopted
with an amendment allowing the inno-
cent party to apply for divorce from
bed and board lat any time
Causes for divorce, both ante-nup-
tial and post-nuptial, were taken up
and discussed, after an attempt nad
been made to strike out the entire
lis on the ground that such a list
do an injustice to some state.
While the matter was being thresn-
ed over, Zach MCGEE, of South Caro-
lima, the only state having no d.
vorce law, was given permission to
address the congress, and he o oc-
casion to resent what he called a slur
his state when it was said on the
floor of the congress that South Caro-
lima has a law limiting the amount or
money a man may leave to a con-

Mr.. Roosevelt tells the senate that
if it does not pass the kind of a rail-
way rate bill he wants he will veto
the bill It passes. We suppose the
senate is able to hold up it's end OF
the pole. 1t is rather unusual for the
executive to attempt to control legis-
lation by notifying congress before
hand that he will nullify it's action
unless it passes a bill to suit his views.
This looks like interference by one
branch of the government with the
rights of another.

TWO HoNoRED UNIFORMS

Under the above heading the Rich
mond News Leader has the following
editorial on the conviction and punish
ment of the man F~eatherstone, for his
brutal assault on Mrs. Virgins of the
Salvation Army. Mrs. Virgins lived in
this city for a while and was well
and favorably known here:
Few recent publications have given
US as much pleasure as the story Of
the abject humiliation and severe pun
ishment of the saloon-keeper at Ashe-
vile, n. c., wto violently elected from
his place a Salvation Army girl, who
had entered there in the course of
her general work. He found himself
the center of a storm Of e~xecration and
made an hubble apology and plea for
mercy. The woman he had maltreated
interceded for him. It is the first in
stance in ten years. so far as we know,
Of ill-treatment to these people. One
Of the finest and most encouraging ev-
licences Of the spark of good living in
the breasts of the most depraved is
found in the universal respect n af-
lection shown for Salvation Army
workers and sisters of charity. In the
very lowest, vilest and toughest dens
in the slums of New York and Chicago,
WHICH, cities nave the lOuSlISSl anu
most Ubiquitous haunts in the world,
WOE EN- wearing these uniforms are not
only safe, but command instant defer
ence and any assistance they may seek.
This is especially remarkable so far as
concerns the Salvation Army, because
that organization had to overcome
violent prejudices. Their methods at
first offended the conservatism of the
Weather n more intelligent classes
and seemed to provoke the violent hos
tility of the rowdy element every
where. Zeal, honesty, patience and
practical results and continual evil
dences of self-sacrifcing devotion
overcame all this in a wonderfully
short time. Now the Salvation Army,
whenever it goes into a community, not
only has public sentiment solidly with
it, but appeals to those representing
the very vices it is fighting most earn
estly. The bar room hanger-on and
the tough Of either sex may not accept
the good offers and kindly invitations
of the army worker, but the fact that
the army is trying to do good, that it
represents the principle of love for
humanity, even at it's lowest depths of
degradation, and is trying to illustrate
the infinite mercy of the is
universally recognized and hOnOred.
The sister OF charity and the salvation
army woman, representing widely Diff
fering creeds and different methods,
share the reverence of all humanity.

Forty turkeys, who yesterday romped
