Interstate Divorce.

The decision Of the Supreme Court In
the Haddock divorce case establishes the
important point that q State in which
only one party TO such proceedings resides
is without right to grant dissolution
which all other states must respect.
Alleging that he had bccn an unwilling
participant in tho marriage ceremony,
Haddock, in this instance, secured q
divorce in the state Of Connecticut. where
he then lived. and a year later married
again The Supreme Court of New York
held the second marriage to be illegal, on
the ground that tho first wife, who lived
in New York, had been outside the jurls-
diction Of the Connecticut court. That
decision is now upheld by tho United
states Supreme Court Justice White,
who wrote tho opinion. said:
"rhe effect Of the contention made In
behalf of Paddock, would be that any
person who was married in ono state
and who wished to violate the marital
obligations, would be able by following
tho lines of least resistance 10 go into
the State where laws wero the most
lax and there avail of them for the sew
erance of the marriage te and the de-
structon Of tho rights of tho other party
to the marriage contract to tho overthrow
OF the laws and .publlc policy Of tho
| other States" s5, n
The decision Is thus III controversion
| of the Institutional stipulation that "full
faith ana credit shall be given in each
state to the judicial proceedings of every
other. One obvious and happy effect
OF It will be to put{n check on the sys-
TEN OF abuses typificd by theEnotorious
Dakota divorce MILL and to tighten gem
orally tho existing lnxty Of interstate
divorce relations. Under this ruling, the
validity of any divorce decree, the
parties to which arc residents or different
States. may now, it would appear. be
successfully attacked. An unpleasant
corolary Is that large number Of re-
marriages Of past years Will now stand
annulled, with the resulting ilcgltimatiza-
ton OF thousands Of chdron.
Tho whole matter seems to emphasize
once moro the urgent need Of a national
divorce law. The difficulties OF accom-
,plishng just this nrc, of course, immense,
possibly lnsuperable; hut the same result
could be attained, could that be managed
Ny the concerted action of tho Hlegsa-
lures of tho several States. This was
tho view held by tho National Congress
on Uniform Divorce Law, which met in
| Washington last February, with three
Virginia representatives among its dele
gates, and formulated Some sensible rec
concentrations governing the whole i'm
portant subject. Uniformity and consis-
iency or some sort, certainly, are OF fun
damental Importance Divorce involves
moral as we'll ms legal considerations,
| Those who agree that divorce is under
| certain circumstances, q perfectly proper
| step, will readily grant the anomaly in
an order Of things which allows the mere
crossing OF a State boundary limo to up
aot, both In law and morals, mans entire
marital status.

how far Richmond varied from the average

From tho evidence IN the report, Rich
mond's Health Department has been
sadly at fault in keeping track of tho
births nnd deaths. So much SO, In face
that tho published death ratio was nearly
five per thousand less than 1t ought
to have been. 9l
Taking tho opinion Of tho president Of
tic Board Of Health TINT Richmond's
dealt, ratio ought to be about eighteen
per thousand, In which opinion the COM
mitteo colncides, Richmond has lost ~
death III tho past year alone 4l3 lives that
would have been saved under other con-
ditlons, This means a loss OF d,4S0 pop
,,lation every decade besides the almost
incuculable cost In sorrow, sickness ana
mere money.

calamity has yet tho consolidation OF

Richmond has not even that poor COM
