SWISS DIVORCE CASES.

The Court Always Tries to Settle
Them by Reconciliation.
In one important respect the Swiss
surpass other nations in the manage
ment of their divorce cases. says an
English correspondent.
In every town there is a kind Of Off
cial paper known as the Feuille davis,
in which one may read daily the fol-
lowing announcement:
M. and Nine X, who are in in
stance of divorce. are requested to ap-
pear privately before the Judge alone
or with their lawyers. in order to
come to a reconciliation If possible"
Before the beginning of every d.
vorce case in Switzerland this notice
is published and sent out to the inter
ested parties. leaving the couple. of
course, free TO attend before the judge
or not, as they wish. Often the couple
meet
Although there are no statistics pub

In fact. Swiss lawyers will not def
nitely take up divorce case until it
has passed through the reconciliation
process.
If one of the couple does not attend
the rendezvous this means that the af-
fair is TO be fought out. but In any case
Swiss divorces are not expensive.
The average cost in contested case
is $500. often S100. and the lowest

RAILROAD NEWS

The employees magazines which are
published by large number of the big
railroad systems are to be made one
of the principal mediums for urging
the railroad men to defend their

have issued an appeal to the men to
become personally interested in the
political caucuses, primaries and con-
ventions which will be held from now
on to the time of the fall elections.
1T is important that railroad men
should take an active interest and do
active work in connection with these
proceedings" states the magazine.
You are vitality interested in. good

THE LEGISLATIVE JOKER.
Easy Way In Which the Intent of .

Easy Way In Which the Intent of
Law May Be Changed.
"a joker in it's simplest form con-
sists in a word or a clause which. in
troduced into proposed legislation,
filches away from the public its power
to establish such laws as it desires,
either by emasculating an enactment
or by perverting the essence and pur-
pose of it, So writes Samuel Hop
kins Adams in American Magazine.
and he cites these instances of how
the joker game is worked:
Sometimes 1t is in one word. as
where the sale of a piece of public
property to the lowest bidder was once
authorized. Sometimes it may inhere
in that elusive character. the comma,
as in the case of the tariff clause of an
old schedule providing for the free en-
try of fruit plants. where somebody
carelessly allowed a comma to creep
in between fruit and plants thereby
admitting millions of oranges and lem
ons into the country duty free and
costing the treasury hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in loss of imports
Nobody ever found out whether this
was a printers slip or carefully de-
vised scheme Certain it is that the
trainers of the schedule never intend
ed it
again, the entire body of the pro
viso may constitute the joker by pur-
porting 70 carry one meaning when II
in reality carries quite another. Con
gress still preserves the tradition Of
the Irish representative from Massa-
chusetts who proposed that March IL
be made legal holiday in celebration
of the Boston tea party Several
New Englanders whose zeal exceeded
their erudition warmly supported the
measure until some one pointed out
that March II was much more closely
associated with the supposed birth of
the proposer's patron saint than with
the destruction of the obnoxious tea.
which latter. indeed. was a midwinter
festival
