We are proud of our Governor
He is not only known and loved
at home for. his honesty of purpose
and bravery in doing what he con.
ceives to be his duty, but his
record in that respect has attracted
the notice of national reforiners
who recognize his ability and
invite him to become a factor in
the solution of greater problems
than those he has to solve at home.
And yet we have a few editors
down here in Florida who cannot
comprehend Governor Broward's
character and are trying to dis
credit all he does. Shame on
them.

From the Mercury, DeLands
new weekly, we learn that the
United States in 1850, gave the
state of Florida the Everglades for
the express purpose of draining
and retaining them. A part of
the act reads thus. Provided,
however, that the proceeds of said
lands, whether from sale or the
direct appropriation in kind, shall
be applied exclusively as far as
necessary to the purpose of drain
ing and retaining said lands by
means of levees and drains. If
this be true, and we believe it is,
the state is under contract to the
U. 5. Government to drain the
Everglades. It's a long stretch
since 1852 for that was before
Governor Broward was born, but
up to this time he is the only
governor who has really tried to
i'll the contract.

Miller, S. D., April 24.-Eighty seven years
old and fighting in court to save her little
property was the experience of Mrs. Catherine
Dring widow, here this week. Some fifteen
years ago she and her husband invested their
life's savings of $4,000 in ST. Lawrence town
bonds The village paid the interest promptly
for eight years and then came the sad day
for the aged widow, for the, town reversed it's
policy and entered upon another plan-repu-
djation.
The town engaged attorneys and went into
court confidently expecting to crush the feeble
officers and lawyers had but few minutes
walk or automobile ride to reach the court
house. The aged widow had to drive in twenty
miles the bleak prairie.
The old lady made good witness and Judge
Gaffy took the case from the jury and decided
in her favor, except as to one bond of $500
that the town had issued in larger denomina-
ton than the statute permitted. The aged
widow will carry the case to the supreme court
with tile hope of getting justice in full.
Judge Gaffy given a farewell banquet
which was attended by business men and at
torneys from Sioux Falls, Huron and Highmore
The speechmaking continued until o'clock IN
the NOR ming. The judge is urged for the state
supreme court unless the circuit is divided
and he can be kept there. Seventy plates were
set at the banquet

LAW SUITS RESULT
FROM HOTEL HORROR

Was the Croker hotel disaster on the
night of Dec. 10, 1905, the result of fire

THE DIVORCE DECISION OF
THE SUPREME COURT

The defendant in error, Harriet
Haddock, a resident of the state
of New York, began this action in
in New York for separation and
alimony against John w. Haddock,
a resident of Connecticut. Defend
ant, admitted marriage in 1868, but
averred that it was procured by
fraud. and set up as his defense
that in 1881, in the state of Con-
necticut, he had procured a di
vorce. Service in the divorce was
by publication and the mailing Of
a copy of the complaint to the last
known residence Of the defendant.
The judgment roll and record in
the Connecticut case were excluded
in the New York courts and this
ruling constituted grounds for
writ of error taking the case to the
Tinted States supreme court. nh

minnesota divorces have no cause
for worry over the decision of the
United States supreme court in the case
of John W. Haddock against Harriet
Haddock,' said former Judge A. M.
Harrison today after reading the adj
vance sheets Of the decision, the news
paper reports of which caused such a
sensation in legal and matrimonial cir
cles all over the country. . '.
From the published accounts it APP
peared that the majority decision in
the Haddock case held that all divorce
DEGREES in cases where service had been
secured either bv publication Or per-
sonally on the party outside of the
state, were invalid. This would mean
the invalidating of about three-fourths
of all Hennepin~ county divorce de-
crees, and would create chaos in fami-
lies and result in endless litigation over
the status of men and women and chill
dren and the ownership OF property.
Matter of Faith. and Credit.
",The reports were Incorrect con
tinued Judge Harrison. "The only
question that the supreme court had to
decide was, Did the court below violate
the constitution Of the United States
by refusing to give to the decree of
divorce rendered in the state of Con
necticut the faith and credit to which
it was entitled?'
'"The court holds that the courts of
New Y orw did not violate the provision
of the United States constitution, re-
quiring full faih and credit to be given
to the judgments Of sister states by, re
fusing to recognize the validity of the
Connecticut decree Of divorce. But the
| court expressly disclaims the intimation
of A. doubt as To the validity of a decree
in the state where it is rendered and
does not question the power of the state
| of New York or Of any other. state to
I give to such a decree Of divorce, with

"All divorce DEGREES procured unde:
