riety Of state laws. 1t is incon-
celVable that, III matter where
and the feeling of di-
vine Obligation are 50 intimately
concerned, uniformity could be
reached by any form OF legal conf
promise. Also 1t Is equally III,
conceivable that the whole coun.
Try should be made to accept the
generally loose laws of some OF
the states or the extremely rigor-
Gus ones of South Carolina. In
great degree the divorce laws OF
the individual state represent
pretty accurately the ideas of the
people of that state. At least it
seems certain if the laws were not
agreeable to the major portion OF
the citizens they would be speed
ily revoked in favor of something
else more suited to the popular
notion.
1t Is, therefore, much better
that the solution of this grave
question be left to time and edu-
cation for the elimination of the
Objectionable features.
Conferences between the states
might help in some degree in
nIaNlng the laws more uniform
but, III a general sense, the most
feasible solution OF the matter
should atulally develop through
the demonstration OF comparisons
and experience. In this manner
uniformity will be arrived at, not
by the nat OF arbitrary law, but
by the discovery and revelation of
the law that exists in the nature
OF things. The United States is
definitely committed to this view
OF the case, since our law does
not take any account OF marriage
as a divine ordinance. Under the
law, marriage is a civil contract,
that nothing can change except
the will OF the people and it is
therefore, only through the will
OF the people that the methods of
its notification may be decided.
When the people themselves
come to a proper view of what
should constitute tho.,o,s,hly rea-
'Sonable and moral grounds for
divorce the laws pertaining
thereto will naturally adjust
themselves to one common stan
dard. In no other way can this
result be achieved.

up at a recent church convention
and discussed with the probabili-
ty i, view. The good people,
however, lost sight OF the TACT
that by no mamie. OF stretching
the constitution can the teder-
al government impose a nation
wide uniformity of divorce laws.
1t is undoubtedly true that the
whole Country should be OF one
mind with regard to the divorce
question but it is impossible to
arrive at such single mindedness
by act of congress. The fathers
OF the constitution made no mis-
take when they left the states free
to work out their own salvation
in this as we'll as many other mat
teis. The divorce question is a
matter in which the kind OF unity
that is acE.evable only through
time and experience is better than
that which might be forced by
sheer weight Of governmental
power. There is admittedly a re-
markable divergence in the vari-
Gus state laws and the need for a
general revision to the end that
the many incongruities might be
eliminated is clearly apparent.
AT present the state OF South
Carolina recognizes no legitimate
grounds for divorce while some OF
the states vii; grant divorce

COMPLETE RACE STORY
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-04-14

Much litigation is promised
from claim jumping if the new
diggings at Tolovana turn out as
we'll as are expected. A number
of claims were recently jumped
because the claimants had not
performed sufficient assessment
work. In one case a claim on
Bear creek was staked at mid
night and another man relocated
1t at 3 O'Clock on January I. He
claims that the first locator left
the ground before IL O'Clock or
December 30. Some of the men
whose ground is being jumped
are reported to be sore about it
but others take it good-naturedly.
The new winter road built be-
tween Olnes, the terminal of the
Tanana valley railroad and
Brooks, in the new Tolovana
placer camp, has shortened the
distance by two miles and makes
1t NJ longer necessary to pass
over Wickersham dome, where it
has always been necessary to re
lay. The road has been cleared
20 width OF thirty feet, the trees
having been chopped close to the
Sround SO that no high stumps
would upset the double ender
sleighs used by the freighters. The
money for building the new road
was raised by private subscrip-
ton in Fairbanks and Tolovana
