The language OF the Buiietin is pretty
strong, hut no stronger than the facts would
appear TO justify. About year ago the
New York Heroid published a list Of the
cases pending in the Philadelphia divorce
counts that was simply startling. IL l.
hardly probable that Chicago, when at the
height OF her fame as a pll c where divorces
were "made easy" could have cclipsed
that record. Tue ease with winch divorces
can be obtained IN Pennsylvania has
been the pr0linc cause OF haS'y
and ill-adyised marriages. The knowledge
that the matrimonial bond could be readily
broken has robbed marriage OF its so
lemnity, anG, as The Buiietin says, made il
a mockery. This is n true OF other states
I'm which the divorce laws are lax rs it Is %
PENNSYLVANIA. The Bulletin therefore
strikes al the root Of the evil, and merits
unqualified commentator. In the good
work in which it is engaged it deserves tn
encouragement mt OF society generally, in thIt
il 1t succeeds IN bringing shout "reform"
In Pennsylvania the influence OF that reform
may extend to other states that stand sadly
in need OF 1t. Morcovcr, it -hOuld be said
that our contemporary should be credited
with displayinI great moral courage In
speaking 20 plainly and making such full
confession. For years the Bulletin has
been wont to harp upon the necessity OF
ciyilizipg the South aud rciormIng south
era society. when We c0nsi Ter that the
divorce laws OF most, If not oil, of the
southern states are much more rigid than
are The divorce laws Of most OF the north
err States. the sacrifice Of feeling the u u
letinS article involves ca be understood
and appreciated.
