to prejudice, fear, personal animosity, Jeal
ousy, revenge, and the like, so thst issues
In which these corpwrstlons and others are
concerned, are seldom settlvd by the ex
ercise of a fair and honest public opinion.
Haeh succeeding legislature Is flooded with
bills for the purpoa of blackmailing Some
Interest whose supporters will pav inonev
rather than to witness the passage of oh
uoxlous and hostile legislation.
The use of legislative machinery to ad
vance private interests.- the envy, back
biting, treachery and slander so frequently
appearing in political contests In this state
exhibit a low standard of political ethics.
The repeated refusal of the voters of Ne
braska to npesl the constitutional pro
hibition against thn honest and fair com
pensation of our judges shows a discredit
able public indifference to law and Its ef
ficient administration, and a contemptuous
disregard for that department of the state
government which ahould receive the full
est meaauro of public r Spect.
Every lawyer who brings suits against
corporations knows, and every lawyer who
ha a corporation clientage knows, that dis
puted questions of fact are generally
promptly decided ao-nlnkt a mrmriiinii
and especially a foreign corporation, with- i
out regard to the weight of the evidence; !
una inai corporate litigants are not ac
corded by the Juries of this state tho same
consideration that Is .-shown to Individual
litigants except (n the federal court where
Juror average higher In character and In
telligence than In the state courts.
All these things grow out of that lack of
moral principle to which President Butler
of Columbia university recently so sharply
called attention. The truth Is we are
money-mad and thirsty for the power that
money buys; and ,to get money and power,
or power without ' money, we have spurned
the principles on which our social fabric
Is butlded. The yard stick in current use
Is the criminal code, but the commercial
dishonesty Is not all In New York; there
Is municipal corruption nearer at hand
than St. Louts and Minneapolis. We have
witnessed so much corruption in business
and politics that the public conscience Is
dull and Inactive; hut commercial, social,
political and moral disaster, one or the
other or all of them, surely conies some day
to him who substitutes the penal code for
the moral law as the -standard of conduct.
It la humiliating that such c .nditlons pre
vail In a young and prosperous common
wealth whose people are cultured and who
In their heart fear Ood. If the selfishness
and avarice which bred them are un
checked, If conscience does not assert It
self Ood help the succeeding generations!
It Is the duty end the privilege of our
profession to declare the distinction be
tween right and wrong and to see that this
distinction is maintained In spite of the
prevalent greed for gain and power. I
charge you to begin a crusade In favor of
public righteousness that shall result In
elevating the standards of official duty;
that shall abolish a corrupt lobby in our
state and municipal legislatures; that shall
convince the people of this state that their
highest Interest lies In keeping the Judi
ciary free from political influence and In
Its elevutlon to that honorable estimate by
which all civilized people safeguard their
courts. These things may lie accomplished
by the united effort of the able, fearless
and honest lawyer of this state.

HOWARD
OX
DIVORCE
State I alverslty Aathortty Discusses
Abuses and ' Possible Remedy.
Professor Howard prefaced hie paper
with the statement that it was his purpose
to consider whether for the state and ter
ritories a uniform law of divorce Is de
sirable and pracJkiable, and if so, how best
it may be secured.' He said, in part:
The appearance In1- ls9 of the govern
ment report, compiled, under tha direction
of Hon. Carroll D. Wright, disclosed some
thing like the real" fnct regarding divorce
In tne UelteoyHtntes. The facts revtalati
are suflii h-iu-l.atlillng. , in . the. .cutre
country diflnil' tin 328.716 petitions
for full or iiartlab divorce were, granted.
Krom 9,937 decrees lu lS6i. the number rose
to 11.56 In 1871. 14.SO0 In 1878, , 762 in 1SS1,
and to 2.S3? in ls: tntis, computing tne
last year with the first, showing an Increase
of 157 per c-nt, while the population grew
but 60 per cent during the same Kn de
cades. Again, to express the result In
terms of the divorce rate In l&tf7, ll Is es
timated, there were 173 divorces to lOO.OtlO
married couples, while in lKsd the number
had risen to 250.' As a matter of fact, lu
the last named year, the average divorce
rate In the United States was higher than
for any country eollnctlng statistics, except
Japan. In that country, according lo Prof.
Willcox. there was "more than one di
vorce to every three murrlages, .ind more
than four und one half times' as many
divorces as there were In the United States,
although the population of Japiiu was onlv
about two-third as great." .
The report shows that the evil of migra
tion for divorce Js greatly exaggerated bv
popular opinion. At present tht- relative
number of such clandestine divorces is
doubtless much less than in 18SB. for In
many vital points the laws of the states
then chiefly responsible for the evil have
become more stringent. Both the statutes
nnd the courts are distinctly discouraging
to the "divorce colony." even In South
Dakota.
In Europe the divorce rate Is rising
while the marriage rate Is falling. The
same Is doubtless true of the United Stales
Judging from the scanty material avail
able . There has been a great deal of mis
directed and hasty criticism of American
divorce legislation. Little by little, as a
detailed examination of the whole body
of enactments reveals, more stringent pro
vision for notice to th defendant have
been made, longer terms of previous resi
dence for the plaintiff required, .ind more
satisfactory conditions of re-marriage after
the decree prescribed: while the more
dangerous "omnibus clauses" In the lists
of statutory causes have been "epcaled
Frankly admitting the urgent need of re
form, the fact remains, as conceded bv
the forelitn observer, like Toequoville and
even Bryce. that family life hi AmeWc-i
Is purer than anywhere else In the world
The real trend of evolution has not at
all times been clearly seen or frankly ai
tnl'to.1: but from the ilavs of I.uther how
ever concealed in theoloKlcal garb or force I
under theological sanctions, however op.
posed bv reactionary dogma, public opinion
has more and more decidedly recognir
the .light of the temporal lawmaker In Hi's
field. As a resiiU. in I h- I nlte.! Slates
not less- cleurlv than elsewhere in coun
tries of western clvllirat Ion. iuaniari
divorce and all the liiKtltm Ions of ih
family are emerging as purely social Insti
tutions, to be dealt with ucordlnir to
human needs. Tieflnltivel v the state sterns
o have valued control of matrimonial ad
ministration. Solntlon of the Problem.
Apparently, if there is lo lie salvation
It must come through the vitalizing. -regenerative
power of m more efficient moral,
physical and social training of the voung.
Tho fundamental causes of divorce He fai
beyond the reach pf the statute-maker
They ure rooted deeply In the imperfec
tions of human nature and the social
system, particularly in false sentlmen's
regarding marriage and the family. Beyond
question, the chief cause of divorce Is' hirl
marriage laws and bad marriages. The
conviction Is deepening that for the wis
reformer, who would elevate and protect
the family, the center of the problem i
marriage and not dhorcc.
At present there Is no pifbhc sentiment I
favoring an effort for uniform code
eml, racing the entire body of matrimonial
and divorce law. Ideally such a code is
desirable. If It might be gained without
too great a sacrifice of local control: for
(t would conduce In many ways to social
order; but the iim-stlon seems now en
tirely beyond the spher of practical dis
cussion. Accoidingly it seems best to confine the
movement to an effort to procure the
adoption of a model statute, designed to
prevent clandestine, collusive, or hasty di
vorce. In other words. It should be re
stricted mainly to procedure. The method
of procuring the enactment of a federal
l law under a constitutions! amendment
mucn lavorcn nrteen or twaniy eurs
has been abandoned by practical workers.
It Is dnuhtful whether such a law Is de
fctrable, even If it could be secured. In
stead, as will have been Inferred fiom the
foregoing dlscnsUn. It Is preferred,
through the state commissions on uniform
legislation, to urge the adoption of a model
statute dv tne separate cninm,,iiweHiiiis.
Is It not probable that special conven
tions of delegates from groups of neigh
boring stales or from all the stales could
win good results' Indeed, at the instance
of Pennsylvania. Hieii a convention Is to

The first business session of the asso

President American Bar Association
Speaks Cautiously of l.ealslat Inn.
When Ueorge R. Peck entered l',e Ilr
Grand hotel Wednesday morning It seemed
ss If an oxone-laden aephyr from the prai
ries of Kanatis blew In with him.-
Mr. Peck Is president of the American
Bur association and chief counsel for the
great Milwaukee railroad system, but he
l of the western breed of men, approach
able yet keen, big of body and' of mind,
courteous, but able to-say "no" and let
you see at once be means no.
Mr. Peck Is accompanied on Ms visit to
Omaha by Mrs. Peck, a chArmlng Woman
with manners as unaffected and genial a
those of her husband. They were met on
their arrival here by President Brecken
ridge of the Nebraska Bar association, who
escorted them to the hotel.
After partaking of breakfast Mr. Peck
wa In a delightful humor to visit with
socially.
"This atmosphere Is Just the thing for
me," said the leading railroad lawyer of
the country. ".You know I was reared In
the west, out In Kansas, the stata with the
greatest and most diversified natural re
sources of them all. This bracing air and
the general salubrity of the western coun
try makes me feel altogether at home. I
am going out the first thing this morning
to see Omaha and to fill my lungs with all
the breeaes outdoors."
It was Intimated that the agitation of
government regulation or control of rail
road Is a subject of absorbing Interest to
the public at this time.
"Naturally It Is." said Mr. Peck promptly,
"hut you will understand I cannot say
anything on that line just now. My view
are well known, but I am here as the guest
of the Nebraska Bar association.
Speaking of the probability of congres
sional action on the great question to which
President Roosevelt has given So much at
tention. Mr. Peck suld:
"I look for some legislation by congress,
and I hope It will be satisfactory to the
public and to all Interests concerned. The
enactment of a wise law on tho subject
would be a great relief to the whole coun
try." And that was as far as Mr. Peck would
go on the line of fate legislation. He wns
equally averse to making talk of politics
or public measures pending or proposed.
