Easy Divorce Modern Attitude Toward the Practice Is Brutal and Barbarous and Men and Women Who Loyalty and Self-Sacri- fice. Government, Says Doc- tor, Should Regulate All Engagements by an Examination as to Health, Ancestry and Previous Life; but Love Should Rule All. Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “The law should permit divorce delity, for misrepresentation of facts materially affecting mar- ried life, for desertion of two years or more, But Society and the Ghurch should show unremitting Opposition to any separation be- and w: Otherwise will soon be in a state Thus Dr. Stanton Colt, author, chatr+ man of the West London Ethical So- clety and formerly headworker In the University Settlement, New York, who has returned to America to lecture on the ethics of marriage and divor Al- though, when I talked with yesterday, it seemed to me that a orce” “ethics” are as far sundered as in his vocabulary, I understand that the different in England and America," he began, ‘In my own country the laws are exceed- ingly unfair to women, since may dtvorce his wife for u ness, while she must prove both in- fidelity and cruelty before she can receive a decree. Also, the machinery for obtaining a divorce !s costly, which gives the rich an unfair advantage over the poof, DANGER IN THE FACILITY OF GETTING DIVORCE. “Here, of course, it 1s much easter for members of both sexes and all ranks of Mfe to break the marriage tie, but it seems to me there ts the gravest danger in that very facility, What will America be one hundred or two hun- dred years from now {f the present divorce rate continues to increase? All history shows us that monogamy fe an attribute of the highest civilizations, and that the real marriage must be beld to last ‘till death do us part.’ “It seems to mo that the modern attitude of society toward the practice of securing a divorce is incredibly brutal and barbarous. Summed up, it is simply, ‘We have got énto an awful mess, and let's get out of It as soon as we can!’ There {s no slightest at- tempt, no pretence, even, toward loyalty, self-sacrifice, the duty of service to a weaker brother or sister; there 1s only the base, selfish desire for individual happiness at the expense of a race-ldeal. "The ideal society 1s that where di- voree 1s perfectly possible in law, but where no one ever asks for it." “But why not?” I protested. ‘Why should not two people who are unhappy together be permitted to separate?” MARRIAGE SHOULD BE STRONG- EST OF ALL TIES. marriage is the strongest of Colt replied, MRS.

LAWRE: CE, Mass, Jan, 17.—The first severe clash between the strikers | and the authorities that has occurred @ince Monday came at noon to-day when the militiamen on duty in the mill district endeavored to prevent a de of strikers from passing up Canal street. There were about 3,000 in the parade, which had just passed through the tenement house and the business district of the city and was headed for the mili section.

The tle between husband and wife should be as unbreakable as that be- tween parents and children.

Such a trait 4s very often nothing but mental You know, there {s a disease of the mind which prompts its victims to wreak all possible injury on those whom they love most. But then the well man or woman should try to cure the malady of the other, not run away fram it. MARRIAGE FOR MONEY NEARLY ALWAYS ENDS IN DISASTER. “I think that the chief reason why there are so many unhappy marriages is that @o many women marry for money. Every union based on surface attractions, beauty in the young woman, strength in the young man, is prefer- able to the marriage of convenience. For the former {s caused by principles of natural welection and works for the etrengthening and safeguarding of the Tace, but the mercenary marriage is an anomaly and is almost eure to result disastrously.” “You think love ts the only proper for marriage?” dsolutely; a love that combines the ural and more or less evanescent at- tractions with the firm and qualities of affectionate comr Of course, marriage tends to develop these qualities; sometimes they do not show to any great extent for ten or fit teen years. But it ts much better if they are present in some degree from the very beginning, “Also there should be some gov- ernmental regulation requiring each of the contracting parties to fur- nish the other side with all essen- tial particulars about health, an- costry, income and previous life. One reason for unhappiness after marriave is because there has been Qn insufficiency of frankness before it. And both young men and young ‘women should be instructed in all the obligations and duties which married life involves, in ite fullest meaning. “Then after ¢! very tow per possible to live.”* “Yes, Harold, It “Makes Grandma's Feet Feel Just Like Yours, Free from Tiredness, Aches and Corns!"’ “Your papa and mar andpa | and your ¢ And you'll vee aman, T get tired inst, The bun- ome and pain more stubb Ata to atale, 1 2 orn | intone they uae | | e, your | other things; draws out that make Dox. sold every direct, on receipt of pri Luther Dodge & Co., Chie Recommended by all Drug Stores, Ment ond general stores, beon thrown across Canal street, near were ordered to go up Hampshire etrect instead of atreet. ‘The strikers refused to obey the com- mand of the military ed | and tried to forca their way throug the Une of soldiers, The militlames drew Proceeding along Canal their clubs and roundly belabored the strikers over the Reads and shoulders, while the officers used the flat blades of their sabres with telling effect.
