UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT CON,
CERNING DIVORCES,

South Dakota has had blot on her
escutcheon FOR some time In tf shape
OF her lax divorce laws, but If the re.
cent decision of the u. s. supreme
court that divorce can not be legally
granted unless both parties to the
action are residents OF the state In
WHICH the decree is granted 10 as
sweeping as 1t appears to be, lovers OF
South Dakota have every reason to re.
joice. The Haddock case from New
York must have been an involved one
for the decision stood fve to four.
The dissenting justices were justices
Harlan, Brewer, Brown and Holmes.
Interstate divorce will be absolutely
done away with. There will be no
more immigration to South Dakota, as
there will be no more easy divorces In
which one party moves away and very
often obtains divorce without the
knowledge of the other.
''The supreme court holds in effect that
people must abide by the divorce laws of the
state In which they live, and that both parties
to divorce must be under the Jurisdiction of
the same court which grants the decree The
principles seem 20 involve, sound Law and good
morals. Those who have not regarded IL i'm he
past will have to take the consequences. -

To those of us, who have gazed on
the grandeur OF Niagara Falls, the
news that point international action by
the United States and Canada for the
preservation OF the scenic beauties OF
Niagara Falls Is an assured fact, Is
most welcome. Representative Bur-
ton, OF Ohio. has laid before congress a
proposition for Diplomatic action with
Great Britain. If this is passed, it
will give the Secretary OF War autho
rity to grant revocable permits for d.
version of water from Niagara River
''only to individuals, companies, or
corporations, which are now actually
producing power from said water, and
to them only TO the amount now actual
ly la use by such individuals, compan-
les, or corporations. The Canadian
minister of Public Works says that the
right to export electric energy into the
United States will be granted under
the understanding that it can be re-
yoked at short notice, and that there
shall be no claim against the govern
ment in case there should be such re
vocation. That the Canadian govern
ment was soon to have placed an en-
barge on expectation of power may be
taken as strong evidence that Canada
desires to cooperate with the United
States in this important matter.
