fringement of the constitutional right
Of freedom of speech. 1t is better to
endure the evils of un~restrained propa-
ganda than to stifie free speech. The
only sane remedy for propaganda is
exposure-full and fair publicity.
"The fallacy thai discomfort may be
removed by additional legislation finds
its counterpart In the suggestion that

proved by giving to cabinet members
the right to participate in congress

THE division of the legislative, ex-
ecutive. and judicial functions into
separate coordinate departments is a
wholesome provision of the Constitu-
ton. This valuable principle of gov
eminent would be threatened. If not
destroyed, by any change which would

notice must be given through the
state department.
There are three grounds for divorce
in France: adultery, conviction of a
felony and cruelty. Both physical vio-
lence and mental anguish are accept
ed under the heading of cruelty.
Neither party to a divorce is allowed
to remarry In France within ten
menths, because of the question of
custody and s%ustenance for the chill

generally of nc value in the United
States, but Americans obtain them

Liberal Regarding Divorces.
At the ministry of justice the sug-
gestion that Paris is becoming a sec
ond Reno for American divorces is not
well received. NJ. Lemeerieux, first as
sistant to Minister of Justice Barthou,
said that France was a liberal coun-
try regarding divorces, having been
the first continental country to grant
them to foreigners, under the law of
1884, and that possibly Paris was be-
ing visited for this purpose just as
Fiume was such a resort for Italians
because of the lack of a divorce law
in Italy.
NJ. Wells, director of. civil affairs at
the ministry of justice, said he did
not think it logical that France should
be looked upon in the United States
as a country where divorces could be
easily obtained, since there were few
er legal grounds for divorce here than
in America.
Generally speaking, France grants
divorces to foreigners if their own
countries permit divorces. Judges
during the last few years have been
taking a more lenient view toward ap-
plications for divorce by foreigners
Previously the applicants usually were
notified that they should apply fol
divorces in their own country.

iessness aud discomfort is too much
government rather thar necessity for
additional legislation.
Every lawyer is conscious of the
process of Capitalization. The sphere
OF federal activity is constantly ex-
banding and federal agencies are being
rapidly multiplied. The states and
their subdivisions have been repressed,
until the last stronghold of local au-
thorfty. the police power, is threatened
by federal encroachment.
"The disease which afflicts the body
polite Is so complicated that the pa
tent cannot describe the symptoms
n the doctors cannot correctly, dag
nose the illness. Nothing is worse
needed than a cure for the prevailing
neurotic fanaticism which manifests
itself In clamorous calls for legislation
which in the long run must prove
harmful rather than beneficial.
Approximately 10000 written stat
utes, including municipal ordinances,
are applicable to the of
the conduct of citizens In the various
municipalities. The public mind would
be cal.ned and comfort and happiness
would be promoted If one-half of these,
1udiciously selected, were repealed.
1.-THE fanatical tendency toward ex-
cessive law making is demonstrated by
the introduction during the last session
of congress of 1910 bills In the house
of representatives and 5,052 in the sem
ate, making a total of 21,222, not
Including resolutions and joint resolu-
tions to the number of about 1000.
IA sane program for the restoration
Of a whole-hearted confidence in the
government might well include the
following policies:
More deliberation in the enactment
of laws and the repeal of unnecessary,
vexatious, and admittedly unpopular
statutes.
The slmplification of all laws cor.
tinued in force. Federal acts,
especially lncome-tax provisions, are
notable Instances of complex statutes
which no II subject to them fully
understands.
Rigid and impartial enforcement as
the surest means of compelling the
repeal of obnoxious statutes and Of
creating a spirit of obedience to law.
1.-THE VIGOROUSLY frequent, and in
some localities open violations, of the
national prohibition act are creating
a spirit of contempt for law and are
tending to convert the American peo-
pie into a nation of ~lawbreakers. The
inauguration of a national prohibition
was premature in the sense that public
sentiment In many communities did
not approve it, and wherever that "
true il has been difficult, almost lin.
possible, to enforce the law. Never
theless, while the National Constitu-
ton and statutes provide prohibition,
there is no honorable course to advo-
cate or pursue save rigid and Impair
tial enforcement.

public duty for the citizen me the

Americans and Other Foreigners
Are Taking Advantage Of

SECRECY is THE CHIEF FACTOR
American Lawyer in Paris Declares
the Whole Divorce Situation In
rance an Abuse and Scan
dal-Grounds for Decree.

Paris.-The increasing number of
divorces obtained in Paris by promi-
nent Americans and other foreigners
seeking relief from matrimonial In
felicity has led to many inquiries as
to why the French capital apparently
has become such a European Reno for
discontinued spouses.
The chief ma gnet appears to lie in
the fact that divorce proceedings may
be brought I'm French courts with ST.
lent cas- and completed without yer
friends and acquaintances becoming
aware, at least through the medium
of French newspapers. that there has
been the slightest ripple on the sea of
domesticity. Publication of such pro-
ceedings by native newspapers is a
criminal ~offense. on the ground of
lowering public morals. The newspa-
pers may print the names Of those in
volved. IL they Il obtain them, and
the fact that a divorce has been grant
ed, but nothing more.
Recent publicity in the United States
OF some divorces of Americans in
Paris has caused an unpleasant feel

for others who have been contemplate
ing divorce action. Several cases of
Americans are reported to have been
taken to Tours, Renpes and other pro.
vincial cities, both for the still great
er seclusion offered and because the
provincial court calendars are not so
crowded as are those in Paris.

weakening the nations
governmental structure by undermin-
Ing the Constitution and sweeping
away the principle of party RESPONSE
bility. The direct primary, "bloc" agi-
tation, and the country's readiness to
accept constitutional amendments were
given by the speaker as evidence that
the government was heading away
from its ancient safeguards n to
ward complete social democracy.
AS n result" he asserted, Gin the
public mind the legislative branch of
our national government probably
never has been at lower ebb than it is
today"
1t is to be noted thai the press has
commented freely on Secretary Weeks
words-and frequently with approval.
In this connection a n address on
THE Business OF Legislating," by
Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkan-
sas before the Maryland association
is OF great interest Incidentally, he
Is opposed to the much-discussed
proposition that cabinet members
shall be given the right to participate
In congressional debates. Senator
Robinson made the following points,
among others:
ut is not altogether surprising, nor
yet entirely fair, hat the unrest and
vexation incident to postwar problems
should find expression in bitter criti-
cism of the congress.
Legislation enormously is regarded
by the masses as the remedy for every
Ill which affiicts the body polite. Con-
sequently the continuance of disturbed
conditions occasions bitter censure of
the national legislature for what is
superficially deemed obstinate indif-
ference to alleged essential reforms.
Congress often is blamed by the
public, ridiculed by editors INF ora
tors, and flayed in magazine articles
for faults, some of which inhere in
our political system, and for mistakes
and failures attributable in part to
causes beyond its control.
1.-The normal difficulties of the con-
gress, due to its broad discretion, have
been augmented since the war by the
pressure Of propaganda.
Every department of the govern
ment is assailed by class influences
deliberately organized and set liz mo
tion to secure selfish advantage.
THE senate and the house of repre-
sentatives no longer divide strictly
along party lines. Frequently the
alignment is according to blocs or
groups organized for the promotion of
special interest. as, for instance,
finance, labor. and agriculture. The
finance and labor groups have long
beer influential factors. The agrIcul-
tural bloc is of recent origin, and is
justified as Indispensable to the pro
lection of a large and deserving ele-
ment whose situation renders compact
organization difficult and who there
fore are at the mercy of other interests
which profit by depressing farmers.
The congress under pressure from con-
fiicting forces has manifested indeci-
sion, nevertheless in many instances
Its failure to act is less harmful Than
would be compliance with selfish de-
mands subversive to the general public
interest.
