The Churrhman says: "We-have
already called attention to remarka-
hle article by DIR. Bacon in the Prince
ton Rerier. on 'Poly4amy in New Eng
land The writer shows with great
clearness that the Normons are not by
any means the greatest offenders against
social morality. The Pnritans at the
East have legalize,l, hy their legislation
respecting divorce, principle which
does not differ essentially from that
which they are TRYING - root ont from
Utah. il Is somewhat surprising that
in all the discussion which has been
going ON about the evil II the present
system Of divorce in the United States,
nobody has explained the origin of it.
DIR. Bacon. Sr.. the father Of the
author Of the article Just referred to-
wrote book on The Genesis Of the
New England Churches" Ii would lie
we'll for some one to trace the genesis
Of the New England idea about mar

world holds to he the true doctrine oi
marriage. Milton sought to elevate
liberty above law. and to make it a Iii
vine right He therefore held that mar
riage Vas nothing more than civil con
tract which either the husband or wife
might break mt will. In other Morls
he taught liberty of self-lisorce. This
goes far toward accounting for the fact
that while New England has been unit
