Bird Elected President.

AS a result OF a very spirited
but friendly campaign, T. v.
Bird, of Missouri Valley, Iowa,
a law student, was elected
president of the Web ter De-
batting society Thursday even
ing with vote of 80 against
his opponents 38 and 18 re-
spectively, showing Mr.. Bir vs.
great popularity among the
members of the most progress
i've and largest literary society
on the University campus.
Never in the history of the
Webster society's forty-seven
years of existence do the an
nails show such a large vote.
This vote was polled by weeks
of hard labor by able lieuten-
ants and field generals, for the
Webster presidency is an office
that the man seeks instead of
a case where the office seeks
the man. Nominating speeches
were made by John Rudin and
George Malcolm for Bird, w.
G. Murphey and Charles Smoy-
er for Dewitt, and H. R. Trus-
Ter for Buhrans, the opposing
candidates for the office.
The Webster society has a
membership at present of
about 250 law students, who
are prominent in University
debating and oratory. The So
ciety, founded as it was nearly
a half century ago at a time
when the country was stirred
with the grave questions of the
Civil War, has been a great
help to the work of the Michi-
gan law department.. At the
dedication of the new furnish
ings in Webster hail in January,
Dean 81. B. Hutchins, of the
law department said in speak
ing of the society,": "Its sue
cess has had a solid basis in
the character and work of its
members, and that is the true
basis for a literary or any other
society,"" Ann Arbor Daily
Times, April l3.

Divorce No Good.

Divorce No Good.
No use getting a divorce, the
Supreme Court of the United
States holding illegal all divor-
ces except where both parties
to the suit reside within the
same jurisdiction.
This decision will mean chaos
in regard to the title topersonal
property, as in cases where a
man who has, in the sight of
this decision, illegally divorced
and remarked, his property,
must, of necessity, GO to his le-
gal heirs and cannot be held by
any children of any woman he
may have married subsequent
to his divorce. Ths attorneys
making divorces a speciality,
more especially in South Dakota,
will have to "hide out" Just
think of the number Of titles
that will have to be looked up
for some of the children! A
clear title for them will be har-
der to get than a clear title to
property in litigation as a re-
suit of this decision.
South Dakota will no more be
looked upon as the "Mecca of
happiness" by those with gre
viances and the yellow journals
will not have to keep gossip
correspondents at Sioux Falls
to watch the playful manouvers
of the would-be divorces. Let
us hope that something will be
done to alleviate the sufferings
of those stricken by this late
decision.
AS soon as warm weather
comes it makes one wonder
why such a cruel torture as
work was ever begun. The
danger from robin stories is
past, but remember, now is the
time for a catch of some mon
strous fish. Keep the weight
down this year to normal,
please.

their first intention but will
rest where it is now buried, but
the grave will be marked in

were unable to learn anything
about how the accident occurred

victim disappeared at the time
