The Illinois Legislature has pas
sed and Governor Dunno has signed
a bill which seems to be step in the
direction of more uniform divorces.
The new law provides that persons
resident in another State and applying
for license to marry in Illinois must
he eligible for license and marriage in
the State in which they have their
legal residence. This law is much
more comprehensive than may appear
at first glance. It recognized the right
oil other States to fix their own mar
rioge rules and regulations, and up
holds instead of violating them. It
goes even further If the courts of
New York or New Jersey, for example,
grant divorce to a wife, forbidding
the guilty husband to marry again,
he cannot go to Illinois and get a Ii
cense to wed, because he is not eligible
IN the State IL which he was divorced.
There's a suggestion of States rights
in this, ba. there is also a large de-
gree of justice. 1t is the custom, in
these days, for divorced men or women
to f1out the orders of the court against
remarrying by simply crossing the
dividing line between the States and
contracting new marriages as If
court order had never been issued.
Illinois ha smade such acts illegal.

The More Dangerous Anarchy.

The lives of men, their health and
their happiness would be more secure,
if their fears and their precautions
were ordered in accordance with pro-
liabilities
A person who would never bet even
money on a horse booked a hundred
to one, will tremble,, in the presence
of a thunderbolt, but associate freely
with those afflicted with tuberculosis,
though the probability that a man
will die by lightning is about one in
100000, while the chance he may die
by tuberculosis is about one in seven.
, The eye is more vigorous than the
ina gination, so that the tendency
among men is to be too much afraid
of dangers that are dramatic and OBJ
vieus, and not enough afraid of dan
gers that are, in physical measure,
tiny and obscure.
The newspaper comment briefly and
with amusement upon the bad Gus
tard pies which killed one person and
made many sick in Westerly r. T.,

some Of their foreign trade it is said
that manufacturers are sending their
products first to Holland, Switzerland
and Scandinavian countries, and then
having them re-shipped with trade
marks representing them as made

A suit to test the right of the gov

adjourned, is on file in the Pulaski
chancery court here. John H. Page
commissioner of agriculture, has i'll
stituted an action to force the State
auditor to Fay a $40 item for stamps
though the governor cut this item
from the general appropriation bill.
Should Page win his suit, attor-
neys say that every item of the $780,
600 vetoed by the governor would be
legalized.
The ground on which the SUR is
brought is that the governor. having
waited until after the assembly ad-

members of the legislature no oppor-

over his signature.

MORE SERIOUS WORK FOR PRES,
mENT WILSON.

President Wilson ON his return to
Washington had to face one. OF the
most serious situations ever confront
ed by chief executive of the United
States. Coming at time frausht
with such portentous possibilities, the
German submarine attack on the pas
senger steamer Orduna adds more
serious weight to the situation grow
ing out of the sinking of the Lusi
tania.
Obviously, the Orduna carried no
munitions of war or contraband.
With her 272 passengers aboard, Fl
of whom were American citizens, the
Ordunas was bound from Liverpool
to New York and it's destruction could
therefore have been of no military
value to the German War Office Her
attempted sinking means that Presi-
dent Wilson must now change the
whole complexion Of the note he has
drafted and which he will send to
Germany during the later part Of this
week.
On the face of it the attack on the
Orduna was unwarranted. 1t must
have. the effect of exerting a strong
influence. in the minds of the President
and his advisors. 1t is somewhat in
the nature Of a direct reputation of
all the President has asked for in his
notes to Gnrpo INV IT. ;c q hacking
up of the evasive German message
of July 9 which in reality brought
about the climax to the situation. 1t
is also irreconcilable with Germany,s |
apology for the torpedoing of the |
American steamer Nebraskan. i
