Returns on the referendum rela-
ling to the divorce laws Of South
Dakota are highly complimentary to
the normal sense Of itho state. They
show that the people, by a decisive
majority, have voted to put the di-
Norce mills which have made the
name of the state a byword, out of
business.
The amendment OF the constitu-
ton, which was aimed al easy"
divorces, required residence OF
one year N the state instead OF six
months, as formerly, and also pro-
v.deS that all divorce cases shall
De heard at regular term of court
This provision wipes out the prac-
ice o! hearing divorce cases "in
chambers" and destroys the secrecy
which enabled applicants to secure
Licorces without publicity. The law
does not add anything to the rights
Of the bona fide resi- dents of the
-tate. II merely takes the state out
OF the list OF those in which colo
nists could make use OF the local
courts to accomplish something they
could not so easily accomplish at
home. Where both parties are res
dents the right to sue for n q vorce
