Committee Says That the Advantages
Of Publicity Will Considerably
Outweigh the Dangers.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November 13-
The National Congress on Uniform Divorce
Laws held its second meeting in this city
today. The first meeting was held at
Washington nine months ago, at which
time an adjournment was taken to permit
committee to draft a bill on uniform di-
vorce laws to be presented to the legisla-
lures of all the states. The bill drawn by
the committee names six causes for which
divorces can be granted. They are inf
deity, felony, bigamy, desertion. habitual
drunkenness and intolerable cruelty.
The committee recommends that the vari-
GUS legislatures be asked to agree on a
period of residence before application may
committee that this recommendation, If
adopted by all the states will decrease the
number of migratory divorces.
Delegates from all sections of the coun-
try attended today's session, at which Gov.
Pennypacker presided. Judge William H.
Stake Of this city acted as secretary.
Delegates From Many States.
The formalities attending the opening of
the congress took up the greater part Of
the short morning session. The roll call
showed the presence of delegates from
twenty-seven states and the District Of Co
lumbia. Delegates from some Of the states
not represented at the meeting sent letters
of regret at their inability to be present
and expressing the hope that the dellbera-
tons of the congress will meet with sue
cess.
The report Of the committee which drew
up the bill for uniform divorce laws was
read by Walter George Smith Of Pennsyl-
vania, the chairman Of the committee, who
explained the proposed act in detail He
called attention to several amendments
made in the phraseology Of the measure in
order to make 1t read clearer and said that
beyond these minor changes the bill was
the same as that already published.
Impounded Records.
In reading sections of the bill Chairman
Smith called special attention to the para
graph which provides that no record OF
evidence In any divorce case shall be Inn
pounded or access thereto refused. He said
there had been some opposition to making
all divorce proceedings open to the public
because of the evil influences they may
have on the community, but the commit
tee, he said, decided on open proceedings
because the benefits from public hearings
outweigh the dangers.
At the afternoon session the congress took
up the bill by sections for consideration and
adoption.

closely IN the footsteps or the long line
Of Israel's traducers, Goldwin Smith
hides behind the mask Of freedom from
prejudice and liberal thought, while en-
dorsing the stereotyped charges that
have been dinned into the ears Of the
Christian world throughout the weary
centuries. Parasites, usurers, a menace
to simple agricultural populations
iterated and reiterated epithets. 1t goes
without saying that readers are told that
I" the Jews are enemies Of the faith and
crucifers Of Christ - the anti Russian
policy Of one Of England's prime minis
ters, an ex-Jew, is cited to prove that the
franchise given to the Jews was deferred
hardly long enough; and then we are
treated to an inside bit of slander in the
assertion Of that the Jews of Johannes
burg carried Great Britain into the Boer
war.
The Russian massacres are treated as
trivial consequences of five millions of
Jews "eating into the core of Muscovite
nationality" and we are told that the
stories of atrocities were malicious in
ventions designed to awaken the SYM
pathy of the world, while in fact all and
more was justified because Of the Rus
The strict Talmudic Jew is said to
teach contempt for mankind and we
were about to infer that other kinds of
Jews met Mr.. Smith s approval, but the
illusion was soon dispelled, for we are
quickly informed on authorities that the
Jews Of the South are men Of no charac-
ter engaged in the clothing and trinket-
shop business, and that the Jews of San
Francisco are all loaning money to farm
ers whom they ''keep ever after as their
bond slave, hopelessly grinding in the
mill
Jews everywhere are disrepltable, rich
and displaying their wealth, Shylocks
complaining that Antonio lends money
at so easy a rate. The reader is about
ready for a call to arms and extermina-
ton, when Mr.. Smith alters his tone
somewhat and offers two solutions, which
he Immediately proceeds to show can not
solve There is assimilation for liberal
Jews and repatriation for Talmudic
Jews; the former will be effected by the
Jew giving up "the tribal rite, intermar-
rying, associating freely and keeping the
same day of rest; the latter contingency,
repatriation, will become possible "by
the Christian powers ousting the Turk

Toronto University professor, Of known
scholarship, one who is supposed by the
public at large to be cautious in hiswords.
The opening paragraph Of the TRADE,
''Few greater calamities have ever be-
fallen mankind than the dispersion Of the
jew" will startle even the average anti
Semitic and come dangerously near con-
vincing him that Mr.. Smith at the outset
has ruined his argument. Mr.. Smith is
so totally blinded by prejudice that he is
utterly unfit to form any sort OF Judg-
ment concerning the Jew. We believe
that there are precious few in America.
at least who will hide behind the umbra
magni nominis Of the Toronto professor
and repeat his ISLANDERS. The animus is
too evident Mr. Smith justifes all mas
sacres of the Jew, ancient, medieval and
modern. Driven cut Of the Orient, Jews
should have remained there and suffered
death, because death awaited them in Eu
rope. During the Crusades they should
have packed up their homes and lands
and fled before the rising storm of Ca
tholic fanaticism They were foolish to
remain and their folly was rewarded
with the rack and the funeral pyre. Be
sides they loved their friends, the Moors,
more than their enemies.
Mr.. Smith goes on to say that it does
not appear that the Jew is everywhere
and entirely tolerant now. We heard the
other day of conflict between two sects
of Jews If this is fact, pray, why
should Jews be deprived of the conflict
of sects when the Christians and other re-
ligious denominations have enjoyed the
spectacle of heresy trials and various
kinds of contests for couple of thous
and years Then, Mr.. Smith proceeds to
inform us that though the Jew has suf-
fered he has been the gamer by it. How
so? The answer is original "He has
been a special object Of religious inter-
est to large section of the Christian
world, as the favorite of heaven. Large
sums have been spent on the conversion
of the Jews Subscriptions have been
raised for the purpose Of finding the ten
lost tribes
Such is the method Of Goldwin Smith s
reasoning His logic runs after this
fashion:
The Jews have sinners in their ranks:
since they are not all saints, they have
been treated as they deserve. The only
good Jew is dead Jew.
