I.tuifi'jii In discussing the divorce
1uc4tior. llltbop Tuttle said:
i do iiot believe that divorce in
the United States is growing at a
greater pace than the population, but
there Is altogether too great laxity
shown In this great social question,
and measures should be taken to
curb the evil."
Bishop Johnson said:
"There has been altogether too
much of the divorce advertising for
South Dakota. We are tired of being
made the refuse box, as It were, for
every man or woman with a grudge
against his or her mate, to come here
and air dirty linen. Mind you, we
don't blame these that come and
acquire citizenship so much as we
blame ourselves for the laxity of our
divorce laws. But there must be a
stop put to It, and I believe the pro
posed change In the term one must
live In South Dakota before acquiring
citizenship will In a large measure
settle the problem and check the
evil."
