THOSE MUDDY DIRT ROADS.

IL sounds good in print to say that
Boone County has nearly hundred
miles of gravel roads. But when we
consider the many hundreds OF miles
of dirt roads in the country-roads that
during part of the year become too
bad for hauling over-we get some
idea of the necessity for a system OF
rock roads. Steam railroads and elec-
tric lines are great improvements,
but it is doubtful if Boone County
would be as much benefited by two or
three electric lines as it would be
by good system of public highways.
The improved highways enable the
farmers all over the county TO get
products to market more easily, and
that is what is needed now, not only
in Boone County but all over Mis-
souri,

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.

The two general plans for the regu
lation of the divorce evil are Fedora
legislation and state legislation. Th,
first named plan leaves to Congress
the power of passing law which i.
expected 10 regulate the divorce evil
by decreasing the number of causes as
grounds for divorce Inasmuch as this
question involves state rights and
would invite antagonism, and in view
of the fact that thirty of the forty-siy
states would have to show preference
for il in Congress, the National Con,
gress on Uniform Divorce Laws in
1906 decided to resort to state Iegis,
lation.
Working on this plan. the National
Congress passed the following resoIu-
tion: Each state should adopt Iegis-
lation restricting the remedies afford,
ed by its statutes of divorce to its
own citizens, just provision being
made, however, that when the status
OF wife is restored as a citizen of
her original state by her returning TO
that state after an injury sufficient to
warrant divorce therein, she should
be entitled to sue i'm that state. pro-
vided she was a resident thereof at
the time of her marriage. This priyi-
lege should be guarded by requiring
a reasonably long period of residence
In her original state after her return"
This resolution covers three points:
/. That the legislation of state
should afford protection only to its
own citizens. 2. That a wife should
not lose her citizenship by reason of
her marriage 3 That her right to
such protection should be restricted
by requiring given period of resi-
dence in her original home before
bringing suit fOr divorce.
1he various causes for divorce i'm
the various states We're classified and
an attempt made to make them uni
form. The plan of this Congress on
Divorce Laws is clearly to make the
marriage more difficult to break by
leaving to the various states the juris
diction of divorce for their own citi.
zens. In other words, the chief diff
Guilty which exists now is the migra-
tory divorce law.
SociOlogists take the stand that leg
islation is more or less Inadequate in
the solution of the problem. They
take the view that legislation does
ho' remove the cause, although more
stringent laws are undoubtedly need
ed. Their plan is observation-disclosures
ton IN the broad sense of the word
by The proper training of children and
truer regard for home life. they hope
TO destroy the desire for divorce But |
lnasmuch as their plan of reform is |
slow-as all movements of true So |
ciai growth are slow.legislation is
urged. Little has been ACCOMPLISHED !
toward uniformity of the divorce laws
as Yet. In time, when the evil is |
luiiy realized, the states having lax
laws of the subject will make if mora
difficult to obtain divorce.
