Better and Healthier Army.
Official reports show that the health
of the American soldier has been
steadily improving since 1899; that
sickness is less frequent, disease less
malignant and the death rate much
smaller. Tlfe remarkable feature is
that since this tendency began eleven I
years ago It has not been interrupted
even for a single year, but has gone
on continuously.
This is most encouraging in view
of the persistent effort the government
has made to improve sanitary condi
tions and health in the army and in
view also of the tremendous obstacles
with which it has had to contend. The
Philippine insurrection and Ihe cam
paigns in I'orto Rico and Cuba sub
jected our soldiers to various maladies
whose Insidious influences were deep
and far reaching, most difficult to hail;
die. Many of these diseases were dan
gerously infectious and, as the world
well knows, played havoc for several
years. Mortality lists grew and the
sanitation of the army became one of
the really large problems of the time.

Admitting- Aliens.
A day spent at the floodgate of im
migration through which the never
ending tide of aliens filters into the
United States has convinced the pres
ident of the imperative need of dis
tributing this influx throughout the
country and preventing its congestion
lu New York.
It Is most gratifying to have the
dilef executive's personal influence
back of this very wise and humane
proposition. Of all the Impressions
he formed regarding the disposition
of these foreigners, this one was first
and foremost. Both for the alien and
the United States It should be done.
It is wrong from every standpoint to
congest the tide in New York. It tends
to complicate the serious social and in
dustrial problems with which we are
grappling. We should be ready enough
to quit the old system and take up the
new. Selfish Interests In the east
should not be allowed longer to con

fields of opportunity and usefulness

retarding their progress toward de

country's most powerful agencies for
good, and that this very feature, wisely
handled, will go far toward making
the rest of the task easy. Of course
it will not complete It. Other essen

In felicity of expression no public man
of his time lias approached him. His last
speech on the tariff, twelve solid columns
long, was read with the Intensest Interest,
because of the art of the orator. And yet
It was a speech calculated to end the argu
ment, as Indeed It did. For from the day
It was delivered no man has esaaved to
answer it. It was the marvel of the tariff
debate that Dolliver could Illumine the sub

People whe have secured 'foreign di
vorces" will be Interested In a decision of
the supreme court of New York that a
divorce at Reno is not valid where the
petitioner has not established a bona fide
residence and has not served a summons
in person on the respondent.
This decision is In line with the geneial
principle set forth by the supreme court
of the t'nlted States a few years ago
tnat the domicile must be actual and. un
der ordinary conditions, that of the hus
band. As New Yorkers have been the
greatest patrons of divorce by the quick
routes provided formerly In South Dakota
and now- in Nevada, there will be much
excitement over there, but it is to be
feared that some local women also will be
Involved.
As the situation stands, three things are
necessary to get a divorce. Actual cause
(and the causes In the various states are
many and often trifling) which must b
established In the courts; actual domicile
(which means more than residence) on the
part of the petitioner In the jurisdiction
of the court taking action. and personal
summons on the respondent unless the loral
laws of his doniicle permit service by pub
lication. In other words practically all of
the divorces granted at Sioux Falls and
Reno are the result of fraud and collusion,
or both. Many of these divorces have ben
a disgrace to those involved and an Injury
to society, but the most Important factor
lies In the rights and Interests of posterity.
If many of these divorces-are Illegal, much
property isigoing to b involved in litiga
tion. This country sadly needs uniform laws
concerning marriage and divorce, and the
worst of It all Is that there Is still very
little prospect of achieving such a desir
able result.

Mr. Hitchcock will have to find some
more valid excuse for his present predicament.
Mr. Hitchcock urges as his excuse

that be was facing bankruptcy at the
time. And yet he Is beseeching the
voters of Nebraska to send him and
his fellow democrats to congress in
order that they may bring about dem

bankruptcy once more. Will the voters
of Nebraska heed this plea?

The progressive movement In the United
States lost a brave effective leader, in the
death of Jonathan P. Dolliver. He was
the most human of all the progressive
leaders also In many ways the most tal
ented. He could do more different kinds
of things. He could speak well, write
well, work well, organise well, and best of
all, he could laugh. He was the only
leader In the little group of Senate Spar
tana who voted against the administration
day in and day out, who could laugh eas
ily. He relieved scores of Intense situa
tions and won victory for his side by a
laugh. He gave the situation that touch
of nature which makes us wondrous kind.
