UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS

We are very much in sympathy
with the work Of the national con-
gress for the uniformity OF divorce
laws throughout the country, which
has just adjourned its meeting held
in the city OF Philadelphia. II there
is any one thing which requires uni
formity of action on the part OF
each and every State OF the Union it
is the question involved in divorce
and it's varied effects upon social
life. There is nothing, so far as We
can see, which does or should stand
in the way OF the suggested uniform
fly OF action. 1t has been intimated
that the Southern States, on ac-
count of their attitude on the race
question, would be slow to agree up
on any action which would interfere
with the laws now on the statute
books in the Southern States pro-
hibiting intermarriage between the
races, or that would intrench in any
way upon theregulation ofthe social
relation OF the races in the South,
but we fail to see what effect uni
form divorce law would have in the
way OF abridgement of such control
and regulation. The regulation OF
such matters is a part OF our crimi-
nal code at present, and under uni
form divorce laws it would remain
so. We do believe there would be
any such pretext raised. On the
contrary opposition will more than
likely come from sections OF the
country where the marital vow is
more lightly regarded. There seems
to be no good argument against
the proposition, and everything to
commend it. As far as we have seen
the recommendation OF the national
congress are eminently wise, and the
determination to keep thecommittee
which drafted the original bill in ex-
istence for thepurpose of urging upon
the various State legislatures the
passage OF the bill is also wise. We
hope to see the measure, or one
equally as good, adopted in every
State In the Union in the near future.
