Jordan Will Be Missed.

The resignation Of Colonel Harry B. Jordan
- commandant at Rock Island arsenal is
distinct loss to that establishment and to the
heighboring communities. In the two years
that he has been In charge at the arsenal he
has done probably more than any other man
nlling that post in bringing local people to an
acquaintance and appreciation of the impor-
lance Of the government establishment While
Colonel Jordan hrst was an army man. and
devoted himself assiduously to the duties OF
bis position. he found time to mingle with the
people Of the communities adjacent to the
arsenal. lending his presence and assistance
70 oil civic movements, and taking a part in
social and business life He was available for
almost any occasion, a ready speaker and good
mixer The colonel was familiar with the de-
tailed workings Of the great plant Of which
be was the directing chief. and took Joy and
pride in explaining its operations when called
upon to do so at different gatherings where
be was m invited guest Colonel Jordan made
the people here feel that the arsenal was a
part Of the community and urged them to take
IN interest In its development. He was a
friend Of the arsenal and of the cities sur
rounding it. The departure of Colonel Jordan
will occasion sincere regret in this locality.

Polvsamy Outside the Law.

Lawyers say that it may be impossible to
convict Herbert Thornton Andrews of bigamy,
although he married two wives and kept them
both in the same house in New Jersey An
drews married his first wife in Maine In 19lz
and his second wife in Connecticut in 1921.
A charge of bigamy can be pressed only by
the state in which bgamy was committed. And
Connecticut has a statute that holds that a
bigamy has not been legally committed unless
a bigamous marriage has been contaminated
within Connecticut AS far as Connecticut is
concerned. Andrews has only one wlfe-tne
one he married in that state. True, Connecu-
cut has issued a warrant charging Andrews
with bigamy and perjury, but lawyers say that
the bigamy charge won't hold. This situation
again shows the need of uniform marriage dl-
vorce and bigamy laws in the various states.
