TO CURB DIVORCES.

Probate Judge J. r. Strueber of
Madison county, Illinois, has announc-
ed a new ruling in his court at Ed
wardsviIle through which he will
marry no more couples. He further
said many of the weddings of today
occur on the spur of the moment, in
some cases on wagers and jokes. He
declared they are not performed with
due solemnity.
The action, according to Judge
Strueber, came upon a suggestion af-
ter he had studied the divorce ques-
fion during the two years he has been
In office. Before being elected he
practiced law at Highland and Ed
wardsyille and even then took an in
terest In the numerous divorce pro-
ceedings he heard at Edwardsyille
while attending the Madison County
Circuit Court. 'ss

A MAID.

A maid there was and truly fair,
With wealths of wondrous fiaxen hair;
No living maid of beauty rare,
Could ever hope to quite compare.
Her eyes were deep and soulful blue,
Like violets Just kissed with dew;
Her cheek, the roses tender hue,
The sweetest rose that ever grew.
Her form was of that perfect mold,
Which pen and tongue have left I'M
told;
That dream of vainful young and old,
To have, to worship or to hold.
Her hat of gorgeous plumes and lace,
Most hid the beauty of her face;
Her gown, becoming to the grace =
OF such maid, seemed quite in place.
Men paused, and women by the score,
To gaze enraptured and adore;
And yet this maid was nothing more
Than just dummy in a store.

RECENT COURT DECISIONS.

The Iowa supreme court has held
that under the Iowa laws an insur-
ance company cannot write insurance
against personal injury damage cases
growing out OF automobile accidents.
The insurance department held that
such insurance was not covered by
the laws, while the attorney general
held that it was against public policy.
The decision says that special legis-
lation will be necessary to legitimize
this class of insurance.

lie highways are intended for pleas
Iure uses as well as business uses;
and it is difficult to see why sled
lcoasting down hin should be said to
be a public nuisance any more than
4 sleigh drawn by horses going down
the same highway. AS the sport
lis healthful and celebrating, it seems
sufficiently proper, If the street is not
put to other public use, that this di-
version be allowet. if not expressly
sanctioned The sport itself is not
entirely foreign TO the purposes for
which public ways are established;
for the use of these ways for pleasure
riding is perfectly legitimate, and
coasting is only pleasure riding in a
series of short trips repeated over the
same road, not differing essentially
from the riding in sleighs, of which
so much is seen in the streets OF
northern cities, when suitable weather
and proper conditions invite their en-
joyment
The constitutionality of a statute is
assailed in Elk parte Kneedler, l41
Southwestern Reporter, 9S3, on a
somewhat technical ground. The
statute provides that any person oper-
ating a motor vehicle who, knowing
that injury has been caused, leaves
the place without stopping or giving
his name, etc, shall be guilty OF a
felony. The contention made is that
such statute is invalid, because It
violates the constitutional provision
that mo person shall be compelled TO
testify against himself in a criminal
cause" The argument is that the
driver may be charged with the crime
iof culpable negligence, and that the
information enacted by the statute IN
question may be used as evidence to
establish his connection with the IN
Jury. The supreme court of Missouri
meets this argument with its own
That the statute is simple ponce
regulation. Because the driver dls.
closes his identity is no evidence OF
guilt, but rather of innocence. On the
contrary, flight is regarded as eVl,
dence of guilt The court holds tnaI
the statute imposes proper reStr'c-
ton and is valid.
