the genciai incongruity ot tne
ptOeviil UOilviCaCii^* -j^utC Cl*<lwv
liiems brougnt to the attention of
congress. 1 lie matter was brought
up at a recent church convention
and discussed with the probabili
ty view. The good people,
however, lost sight ot tne fact
that by no manne: of stretching
tne constitution can the feder
al government impose a nation
wide uniformity of divorce iaws.
it 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 well as many other mat
te; s. 'lhc divorce question is a
matter in which the kind of unity
that is achievable only through
time and experience is Tetter than
'that which might be forced by
sheer weight of governmental
power. There is admittedly a re
markable divergence in the vari
ous 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 legitmate
grounds for divorce while some of
the states will grant a divorce
almost for the asking. Between
these two extremes lie a vast va
ricty of state laws. It is incon
ceivable tiiat, in a matter where
conscience and the feeling of di
Niue Obligation are so liunuately
concerned, uniformity could be
icached by any form of legal com
promise. Also it is equally in
conceivable that the whole coun
try should be made to accept the
generally loose laws of some of
the states or the extremely rigor
ous ones of South Carolina. In
a great degree the divorce laws of
the individual state represent
pretty accuiately 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.
It 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.
I onferences between the states
miglit heip in some degree in
mailing tue laNvs more uniform
but, m a general sense, the most
•feasible solution of the matter
should mutually develop through
tue dcnibiistration of comparisons
and experience, in this manner
uniformity will be arirved at, not
by the hat of arbitrary law, but
by the discovery and revelation of
the laNN 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 tlie
laNv, marriage is a civil contract,
that nothing can change except
the will of the people and it is
therefore, only thrpugh the will
of the people that the methods of
its nullification may be decided.
When the people themselves
come to a proper view of what
hould constitute tho.toi/;hlv rea
sonable and moral grounds for
divorce the laws pertaining
thereto will naturally adjust
themselves to one common stan
dard. In no other Nvav can this
result be achieved.

time prior to maturity.
Much litigation is promised
from claim jumping if the new
diggings at Tolovana turn out as
well 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
it at 3 o’clock on January 1. He
claims that the first locator left
the ground before 12 o’clock or j
December 30. Some of the men i
w hose 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 *?slovanal
placer camp, has snortened the!
distance by two miles and makes ■
it n > longer necessary to pass
over Wickersham dome, where it
has always been necessary to re
lay. The road has been cleared
•o a width of thirty feet, the trees
having been chopped close to the
ground so that no high stumps i
would upset the double ender
sleighs used by the freighters. The
money for building the new road
was raised by .private subscrip
tion in Fairbanks and Tolovana.
