i hk need ot a more uniform law
regulating divorce in this country is
plainly shown by Professor Felix
Adler in the Woman’s Home Com
panion for .March. Professor Adler
shows how the notable conference
assembled at Washington last
February, marks the turning of the
tide in this country away from the
exaggerated freedom, or license, of
divorce which has so widely pre.
vailed, and a return to stricter views
and to insistence on more conserva
tive practice.

The Hours-o!-Service bill.
Kail road men, who form such a
large factor in American life, are
just waking up to the fact.that they
have been, or will he, side tracked
very neatly and elite ivey if the
bours-of-scrvice lull reported to the
House this week is allowed to pass.
Tne measure passed the Senate al
most six weeks ago, and since then
the House committee has been busy
“perfecting” it. They have per ft ct
e 1 it with a vengeance. The bill as
it now stands may be a little fteller
than no legislation at all, but the
railroad men are doubtful. The
fact is that there has been almost as
warm a tight over the bill in com
mittee as there was over the rail
way rate bill. The railroads them
selves have had a powerful lobby in
Washington against it, almost the
same lobby in fact that fought the
rate bill. The railroad workmen
did about the best they could under
the circmn stances, but compared to
their employers they are sad
amateurs.
The things that have been done
to the bill are manifold, but one of
the most vacious has been changing
the period by which the hours ol
labor are measured from 24 to 30,
which change allows men to be
worked about 23 hours at a stretch
if there be a short interval of rest.
I his is just about what the rail
road- arc doing now with their men,
I and the bill as it has been amended
in the committee would allow them
to keep up their regular practice
w ith the appearance of having made
concession*.
I 'I* L. * •
I hi* is a matter in which the
public in even more vitally interest
ed than are the railroad men, for
there are in ,re of the travelling
public than there are of the tram
crews, and they are equally jeopar
dized when the train crew* are over
worked. A recent instance can be
taken in the investigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission
following the d.sastrous wreck on
the Baltimore A Ohio at Terra
Cotta, l> ( . I he attorney for the
Commission eollected a lot ol the
time slip* from the railroad show
‘iij the hours that the \arious train
crews had been on duty. Tnese
records showed that 10 hours was
rather a short day’s work and in (4
great many cases the ere ws ha l been
kepi on duly (or 20 ami 23 hours at
a stretch lor several days, while

having worked KJ hours. This was

Extraordinary Session oi the Leg
islature.
Charleston, \V. Va., Feb. 2:{ —Both
houses of tlie legislature adjourned ai
an early hour this morning, having fail
ed to pa*s the appropriation lulls which
occupied practically the entire night
session.
luimediati ly following the adjourn
ment < ioveruor Dawson issued a procla
mation calling the legislature in extra
ordinary session, and a week or ten days
tintla-r legislative deliberation is ex
, pected.
The most important part of the gover
nor’s message convening the legislature
in extraordinary session is that authori
zing the legislators to introduce, con
sider and pass a r< venue bill, the clause j
being so wide ns to include practically
any revenue measure that may he lUtro
Id' red.
Tlie other measures which are to be
, considered, according to the governor’s
j message, are:
Appropriation lulls which failed of'
; passage last night.
House hill No. 18s, relating to the
assessment of taxes.
Senate bill No. 1, relating to license
taxes
Senate bill No. 177. relating to mining
which passed the house in amended form
last night.
House bill No. 5:5
Senate bill No 5*7, relating to the re
j cordation of deeds, etc., and affixing a
I tax thereon.
Senate bill No. 215, relating to trusts,
defining criminal trusts, and affixing
penalties therefor.
House bill No. 55, a Clarksburg local
measure.
Senate bill No. I:is, relating to cor
t |*orat ion licenses.
Senate bill No. l.’5lt, relating to at
torneys in fact.
Senate bill No. I 50, relating to the
sale of merchandise in bulk
The governor also includes in his call
the consideration of anv measures,
j which the gov*rnor may see fir to dis
approve, indicating his intention to veto
some of the measures already passed.
If this report about Count YViite
being recalled proves true, the <|iies
ti<*n will be whether it is a tribute
U> his sf ‘itemunship, or his ability to
avoid gelling him-elf bio vn up.
