UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS.
Newark News }

The Illinois legislature has passed
and Governor Dunno has signed a
bill which seems to be a step in the
direction of more uniform divorces.
The new law provides that persons
resident in another state and apply
ing for license to marry in illinois
must be eligible for license and mar
riage in the state in which they have
their legal residence. This law is
much more comprehensive than may
appear at first glance. 1t recognizes
the right Of other states to fix their
own marriabe rules and regulations.
and uphOlds instead of violating them.
1t goes even further. If the courts
of New York or New Jersey, for ex-
ample, grant a divorce to a wife for
bidding the guilty husband to marry
again, he cannot go to Illinois and
get a license to wed. because he is
not eligible in the state in which he
was divorced. There's a suggestion
of states rights in this, but there is
also a large degree of justice. 1t is
the custom in these days for divorced
man or woman TO flOut the order of
the court against remarrying by sim
ply crossing the dividing line between
the states and contracting new mar
riages as if a court order had never
been issued. Illionis has made such
acts illegal.

The drug law that recently went
into effect should soon lose it's ter
rors TO the victims of the drug habit
If the discovery reported at the an
nual convention of the American
Institute of Homeopathy in Chicago
last week comes up 10 representa-
lions. This is that alfalfa is the com
ing drug, not for putting people out
OF business by the ruination OF health
and mental power but by giving
them such health as they never
knew before and bracing and stimu-
lating the mental faculties in pro-
portion. If what is claimed for the
alfalfa drug proves true the victims
OF those who brace their constitutions
on extract of what in the past has
been regarded as fodder for cattle
only will be known not as alfalfa
fiends, but alfalfa angels.
1t was Dr. Alexander l.. BlackwOOd
of Chicago who told the convention
about the newly discovered quality in
alfalfa which has been raised extern
sively in the west for years as a for
age crop and which many eastern
farmers are trying TO introduce in
their sections. Ii is a plant of luxu-
rious growth, is valuable as feed for
stock and benefits the soil in which
it grows by hlling it with roots which
penetrate 10 considerable depth. .
But all of these considerations
seem Insignificant in comparison
with the drug extracted from this
plant, which is known as ''medicago
saliva The tincture is adminis-
tered internally, and Or. Blackwood
stated that in cases where il has been
used there was AN immediate de-
lightfuI feeling OF being well, in
creased appetite and great improve
ment in weight. 1t does not act as a
stimulant in the same sense as
liquor the doctor added. and he be-
lieves II TO be a coming drug.
All OF which is in the line Of good
news if DIR. Blackwood's statements
prove reliable. A drug that will ben

manner he describes. clear the mind
and make one when strictly sober
under the influence OF the cup that

the country is looking for in these

REAL ANIERICANIsNI.
(Muncie Press


After commenting on the fact that
the tone OF the southern newspapers
in their comment on the notes pass
ing between Germany and the
United States is more belligerent than
that sounded by the newspapers Of
other sections of the country, the
Muncie Star says:
while all America would be be
hind the president in the event OF
trouble with any nation. it is likely
that he would find less cause for
complaint in the south than in the
north or west"
Presumably no one has questioned
the loyalty of the south TO the
United States in case OF conflict with
any foreign power. but now that it
is sought TO prove that the infusion
of foreign blood ma%es the north
and west less loyal than the south. IL

a correspondent of the New York
World writes this satirical dispatch
headed, What did not happen in Ber-
lin:
Berlin July 26.-At an en-
thusiastic meeting Of the Ameri-
can-German alliance, John smith
Wiseacre the newly elected presi-
dent, aroused the 1000 members
present 10 wild enthusiasm by a
vicious attack on the kaiser He
bitterly denounced the German
emperor for his refusal 10 aid the
United States in it's war with Eng
land and called him a political
bankrupt and "A perjurer. intimat-
ing that the kaiser was under the
influence OF British gold. He
earnestly adjured his hearers to
stick closely together in their eff
forts TO bring about the over
throw of Emperor William, and
the applause with which this was
greeted seemed to indicate that
that was the unanimous senti-
ment of the audience. The GEN
eral opinion among them seemed
To be that Mr.. Wiseacre would
make an admirable successor and
would govern Germany properly
under an American protectorate.
There is some disposition among
the native Germans TO criticise
the American German alliance
for the suggestion of sedition in
Mr.. Wiseacre's address and in the
manner in which il was received
by his hearers, but the members
of the alliance good naturally
laugh at this a typical sample
of German humOr. The govern

government. also between the German
people and the American people. The

Of the German American alliance at
Utica. where the president of the
United States was openly called a "po-
litical bankrupt" "dupe of Wall

A new complication arises between
the United States and Germany, in
cident to this bit of testimony taken
from the confession of Robert Rosen-
thai, the German spy recently arrested
and brought to trial in England:
l was doubtful about coming TO
England again, but Capt. Won
Preiger said: IF you have any
fear about travelling on a pass
port under your own name l can
give YOU another passport" He
then opened a safe in his office
and took out a bundle of Ameri-
can passport blanks printed in the
proper form on the correct parch-
ment He showed me forged dies
with which the seal of the United
states could be reproduced. I
can nit YOU out" ne said, with a
passport that will pass inspec-
ton.
II this statement is TO be trusted, the
alleged forging OF passports by the
German secret service is a fact and has
assumed alarming proportions. There
have been many rumors and some APP
parently authentic cases. of passport
falsihcations, for the furtherance OF
the aims of the German espionage sys-
TEN in hostile countries. and even at
taches OF the German embassy at
Washington have been involved in the
charges. But there has been nothing
so definite as this
For the sake of Germany's honor
and the ebbing friendship OF the two

accusations may be disproved 1t is
a serious thing for one government
by its secret agents, 10 forge passports,
especially when their use compromises
the good faith OF a neutral nation and
places under suspicion all genuine
passports carried by its own citizens.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

From the native American the for
eign-born American is likely to hear
very little showing any appreciation
for such a birthright.
1t is not discreditable TO the news
papers of the north and west that
they are not engaged in jingoistic ut
terances based upon the controversy
with Germany That there is no
general demand for war north of the
Ohio merely repeats certain history
of So years ago. 1t was claimed
then that one native son of the south
could whip a dozen of the descend
ants Of the scum of Europe" but
there was many an engagement in
which this calculation failed TO
work out before the war was over.
