editors have SEM their word that
farmers in their territories voted
wet as strongly as city folk.
Also, it is not quite certain any
more that women can be counted on
to vote en- bloc for prohibition. Many
editors kept track of the womens
votes; in the majority of cases the
women voted as the men did, with
possibly more of dry trend.
Here, then, are the final figures.
1t is for the reader to take the re-
turns in this, the largest newspaper
referendum ever held in America,
and decide for himself their true
meaning. And in making up his
mind, he RAY rest assured that each
vote cast represents one citizen; that
the poll was conducted in absolute
fairness and with all the accuracy
possible; and that neithei NEA Serv-
ice, which began it, nor the 926 news
paper editors who carried it through
had any Interior motive in conduct
ing it.

however, and turned the amendment

however and turned the amendment

Next, cry was raised in some
circles, the speaker said, for CEN
trail bureau of education which
would place a cabinet officer on
educational matters in the presi-
dents cabinet. And although this de-
mand would not have called for an
amendment in its realization, Boyle
cited IL as simply another example
of the trend toward the spread OF
federal bureaus in Washington. 1t
was at this point, that he Denounced
the tendency Of bureaucrats to
standardze living and to take too
much power away from the indi-
vidual and the local government
Lastly Attorney Boyle considered
the desire Of many citizens for an
amendment for a uniform marriage
and divorce law Although the bull
as now proposed, has many good
points in Boyles opinion. he ex
pressed the belief that it would not,
If passed, remedy the many evils
! which now exist under the diver
sified and varying state statutes
on the problems.
AS arguments in favor Of the
proposed uniform marriage ana di-
vorce bill which Senator Capper has
been sponsoring, Boyle mentioned
that Cappef claimed the present
system makes it too easy for the
unfit and immature to marry, allows
a great. emergency in the ages at
which marriage is permitted and
permits many states to refuse to
recognize the edicts on divorce Of
another state, as valid
Sin answer to these arguments,
Boyle declared that although states
like Massachusetts under the present
laws would allow children of IL or
Ia to marry, the problem is really
not acute in these days and such
states have not changed their sta
tutes in this regard because they
have never thought it necessary.
In most every case, the attorney
continued marriage license or
divorce decree issued in one state is
held valid in every other state so
that the problem of being" married
or divorced here and not married
or divorced there really does not
exist. only III very unusual gnu
complicated cases is the decree Of
one state set aside in another state
where the laws on divorce differ,
Boyle continued. And if a uniform
divorce law should be established, as
advocated divorce would be as rela-
lively easy as it is now with few
exceptions.
The present proposed federal di-
vorce bill is very faulty in many
places, the speaker stated, and would
have to be amended before approved,
even if advisable. He then brought
up the point of New York state hav-
ing only two grounds for divorce
and other states like Texas, recog-
nizing 10 grounds and asked how
these differences of opinion would
be adjusted to agree with the six
grounds which the proposed uni
form divorce measure would offer.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-03-27


that from what he has read about
the measure, it hardly seems likely
that it will be accorded the support
of the states under an amendment.
He cited figures to prove that a
very small percentage of marriages
today are of children under 16 years
of age-an evil which the proposed
bill would aim to erase-and that
divorce would be as easy under a
federal statue as under the state
laws, since the federal bill would
simply be a compromise measure
based on a composite array of the
present state regulations.
In the preface of his address, At
torney Boyle offered as an explana-
ton for the increased demand to
amend the constitution; the change
in world governments brought on
by the war, the many attempts be-
ing offered at amendments and the
keen interest which the women are
taking in the constitution and poll
teal problems in general.
The original conception of the
trainers of the constitution, Boyle
remarked, was to provide dual
citizenship for the people of the
United States-a dual governmental

In the days collection of develop

Edge, republican, New Jersey, asking

Hanson declared that before he
delivered Torres to the border he

RHEUMATISM

IT'S GONE! That awful agony!
Il Rheumatism can't stand the rich,
red blood that S. S. S. helps Nature

But rheumatism will bring pain and
misery to your joints and muscles just
as long as you are without plenty Of
rich, red blood in your system.
It's the red-blood-cells that S. S. S..
helps Nature build that drive out Of
your system the impurities that cause
rheumatism. And until you do build
up your blood to where it is pure and
rich and red, you simply can't get rid
of rheumatism.
And S. S. S. is the thing. Red blood
conquers rheumatism. Everybody
knows that.

STOKOWSKI TRIUMPHs
WITH PH1LADELPH1ANS

A royal welcome was given
Stokowski and the rare Philadelphia
Orchestra in their first concert OF
this season yesterday afternoon.
The glory that surrounded them
was one of opulent tone. one OF
gems in detail, one that set their
diadem with brilliancy that had
it's climax in one of the most fas.
cinating and satisfying readings of
the Brahms first Symphony that l
recall.
Stokowski brings with him. in
his superb mastery of his huge
instrument, a union of emotion and
of finish. In early days it was
emotion that first swept one off
his feet, when Stokowski conducted.
Today one delves deeper and
deeper for the forceful psychology
that lies beneath his musical
thoughts. And one hears vitality
linked with spirit as well as flesh.
The program was a division be-
tween the highest forms Of yester-
day, in Bach and Brahms, and the
