hefore action for a divorce can be
brought before the courts thereof.
While divorce is in many instances
an undisguised blessing tj the in
dividual, and in u wider seiise to
the community, it is essential to
the welfare of society that the
bonds of matrimony shall not be
severed upon light, whimsical or
vicious grounds. Hence it is not
unreasonable to ask that those
who seek relief from matrimonial
mistake should bring suit f ir such
relief where they are well known,
and where the defense may have
a fair hearing. Tht residence
qualification means nothing more
tyrannical than this. It is intend
ed merely as a check upon the
scandalous practice of iroing away
from home to bring action that
could not be sustained at home.
Evcy convention is a law unlo
itseli. The democratic national
convention which meets in Chicago
in July nt xt, can abolish tho two
thirds rule if it wants to and adopt
the majority rule for nominations
of candidates. The republican
national convention has always had
the majority rule for nominations,
and most stale conventions also
have tho majority rule. The two
thirds rule was first adopted by
the demo-ratio national conven
tion of 1832 for the purpose of
beating Martin Van Uuren, who
wonted the nomination for vice
president. The rule did tut work
that time. Van I5ren got tlle
nomination sind was of course elect
ed. After that the democrats did
not bother with the two-thirds rule
any more until 1844, when Van
lJuren was a candidate aain, this
time for the nomination f.n- inci

well managed hit of political strut

important part f it H.ini, the
adoption by the democratic Mition

thirds rule. The rulo has heen
adopted by every democratic na
tional convention since. Thia
ear's convention or any future
one is free to adopt a different rule
if it sees fit.
