Governor Thurmond nor any, J hi.N opponents made it an issue.i But it springs uj) as soon as the leg-1 slature rtwets without any demand latsoevei on the part of the peo ple. It is noted that the referendum aos proposed in the house by tw ? o j /ung lawyers and given a favorable .t.; ort~ from the judiciary Pommittee 1 4 the house composed of lawyers. It is therefore, as some one has said, purely a lawyer referendum and agi-! v :ted because law'yers know they can i lake money out of the legalization c.T divorce The issue will be decided by the <*eople. They will vote “yes” or "no” 'as to whether the Constitution is to Be changed and we are to relinquish j a distinction we have held for long years as a state. If it passes, it wilH make divorce all the easier over some trivial matter. There will be a “di vorce” lawyer in every county. While w;e don’t know, we don’t believe this amendment is going to be voted eas ily. It is our guess that it will be- rejected at the polls. Its passage will mean a further breakdown of the American home which is one of the great tragedies of tie present day. It means more, b.oken homes, more children dumped oil public welfare agencies, orphan ages and other agencies with the siate and church .asked to assume* responsibility for their support.
