This was a major concession to the Sl-year-old Capper.

Af ter it was ratified, his universal law would become effectivei Grounds Limited It would kill off marriage and divorce mills by barring hasty and child marriages and permit divorce only for adultery, cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment or nonsupport for one year, habitual drunkenness, incurable insanity or conviction for an "infamous crime," and for no other causes.
