Illinois societies are seriously con-
corning themselves with divorce legis-
lation with purpose to secure reform
of the states laws. The extent of di-
vorce and the ease with which it may
be obtained constitute a scandal that
is the shame of the commonwealth.
The Tribune counsels the reformers
not TO limit grounds for divorce TO
infidelity alone New York has such
a law and the result is mental and
moral degradation of the worst order
The Offices of most of the divorce
court lawyers in New York are genu-

Yet It is only fair TO say that I
Did much to help him when he needed

His cause was greatly benefited by
The wise, unselfish efforts that made.
I have a deep contempt for those who
seek
The easy berths he has at his COM

I have not asked for anything at all.

To favor me by mentioning my name;
I stand aloof in silence. asking naught;
I make no plea and present no bid
Yet there is no denying that he ought
In some way to be told how much did.
BY patriotic motives only stirred,
I labored for him through the long cam

To make my high and noble purpose
plain,
Yet If he should insist on naming me
For any public office anywhere,

To help the nation on by serving there.
