THE EVIL.

II the marriage Of John Jacob
Aston. who was divorced from his
wife two years ago, to a young girl
half his age, will quicken public con-
science to such an extent that a uni
form divorce law for the entire coun-
try will result, the wedding will have
it's good points, after all. The mar
rage Of Mr.. Aston makes our pres
ent system Of divorce a farce. By
the decree under which his former
wife obtained her absolute separa-
ton, Mr.. Aston was forbidden to
wed again in the state of New York
while his first wife was living, But
as a New York court has absolutely
no Jurisdiction in any other state,
/ Mr.. Astor can cross into New Jersey
or Connecticut, or go to any state
he desires, as long as it is not New
York, and have the knot tied. But
to take advantage of this privilege is
to deliberately bid defiance to the
courts Of his state. The whole
thing becomes farcical in the ex-
IRENE. 1t would seem as if, having
been forbidden to wed in New York,
the authorities of that state would
be justified in arresting him for con-

more aroused over the divorce evil.
They are beginning to realize that it
is a problem they cannot deal with
alone. There must be cooperation If
We are to stop what has come to be
practically a state of free love. To
bring about this cooperation several
resolutions have been introduced in
congress tending toward a solution
of the problem. Three different con-
gressmen have presented measures
along this line, calling upon the Pres
ident to arrange a conference be-
tween the states on the subject. The
question is a difficult one, but there
is no. doubt that it is time it was
seriously considered.
The exhibition Of Col. Astor being
legally separated from a woman of
his own g and now about to wed
a young girl hardly old enough to
know her own mind, being even
younger than Mr.. Astor's own son,
is disgusting to society in general.
If he fell SO deeply in love with the
girl at first sight, he might have ure-
ed his son to make the conquest AMI
then loved her as a daughter instead
of spelling the child's life by making
her his own bride.
This nation has successfully met
many big problems in its compare
lively brief existence and there is no
reason why it should hesitate over
the matter Of divorce. Because it
affects the very foundation of society
home, is all the more reason
why we should come to some definite
understanding regarding it. 1t is to
be hoped the resolutions in Congress
will be favorably acted upon and that
the desired result will be accomplish
