BISHOP NEWMAN SAYS THE SITUATION is
GRAVE
Whatever belongs directly and pre-emin.
emily to our national life is a proper sub
ject for congressional legislation. In the
family are the rudiments of the republic.
As is the home, so is the nation. Marriage
is fundamental to our republican life. The
civil laws by which it may be contracted
and may be dissolved should be uniform.
states and territories should coDcede tc
congress the right to legislats thereon.
There should be but one recognized cause
for absolute divorce with the right to re-
marry: there are other causes which JUS
tify legal separations without the right to
re-marry. The plan is full Of peril 10 the
home-life of the republic. Marriage is
losing it's solemn and responsible character.
Tne old Jewish and Roman custom of
successive polygamy is gaming among US.
The difference bet cen Utah and some
st ltes is that in the former plural wives
are simultaneous, in the latter they are
Successive. If this continues what can
save us from the fate of Jerusalem aud
Rome! JOHN. NEWMAN.
ANNIE JENNESS MILLER is RADICAL
Under the existing conditions do believe
in divorce, While the church and society
continue to legalize and approve OF much
immortality under the name Of marriage,
the only apology for such inquitous abuss
of the high duties of sacred and civil laws
is to make he gateway of escape as wide as
possible. Every student OF sociology must
believe in the individual human right to bs
well-born, and / contend that there is moth
ing In heaven or earth to compensate the
child of a loveless or loathsome marriage
for the robbery OF its birthright. have

BISHOP WHITEHEAD WANTS NATIONAL

am heartily in favor of national law
covering the whole matter of marriage and
divorce. Such a law should permit
divorce for very few causes. Stringent
at first, it should aim at greater stringency
as public opinion is educated towasds a
nobler estimate of marriage, aud it should
be the aim of all patriotic citizens to de-
moustrate in every possible way that such
a law narrows no ones lawful freedom,
but rather secures to the whole ration the
liberties which we now enjoy; because it
protects woman and the first interests of
the family-guards the children's rights,
tends to the physical well-heing of future
generations, and certainly conserveS god
morals. Faithf lly yours,
CORTLAND WHITEHEAD,

the law makes it can annul with as much
dignity and honor a it seals contract.
ANY two irresponsible persons can
marry, but civil court alone can dissolve
the marriage.
believe that the chance for divorce
adds to the dellcacy of the marriage con-
tract. believe that each state should hold
to the privilege of making its own mar
riage and divoi ce laws | believe that q
civil and not religious marriage ceremony
would be most beneficial to the interests
and welfare OF ali. No one who is happily
married need be alarmed at the lberalty
or the divorce laws, no one who does not
need and want it is compelled to get a di-
vorce simply because divorce laws are
liberal. believe that liberal divorce laws
conduce TO morality and self-respect. In
countries where no divorce is possible
statistics show the greatest percentage of
the only state in the union where no di-
vorce was possible for years,
certainly has never been conspicuous for
its morality. Divorce is mean, of escape
from conditions which are often death to
soul and senSioility, if not a remedy. l,
does not settle the question of what con-
stitutes real marriage, but it is the begi

have no hesitation in saying that 1 be.
lieve a lax divorce law encourages lila
sorted marriages, and hence an easy dis
ruption of the family for trivial causes, and
educates the commonwealth to regard
marriage as temporary contract. Thi:
is equivalent to saying that it places a pre-
minum upon immortality. These views are
not speculative. | have lived in Connecti-
cut and Rhode Island for nearly fifteen
years, and from what saw among t 9 bad

New England divorce laws were under
mining respect for the sacredness of mar

A NEW JERSEY coNGREssMAN's OPINION.


The divorce devil and loose notions about
marriage, have, in my opinion, been en-
couraged by the flippant and frivolous way
in which these subjects are treated by the
press and else where. The family is the true
social unit, and in the puri y and sacred
ness of the marriage tie depends the
perpetuity and security of the state. Mar
riage, in lis true sense, is neither a matter
OF convenience or of commerce, and our
people should be educated no to it's sacred
and solemn character Absolute divorce
should be sternly restricted.
SnOuld there be a uniform federal law
of divorce! | think not. The states are
gradually assimilating their divorce laws.
Even if they were OF, it would, in NY
ference. If uniform marriage laws, why
not uniform debt lawss The truth is, the
grand, and, [ trust, imperishabe federal
system, has some few i .cOnveniences, but
these are far more than counter ualanced BY
its defense of liberty and the inestimable
boon Of home rule. The states should
guard more carefully the right to contract
marriage. In some of our states the dis
graceful situation is presented Of officials
and clergymea making a business fer rev
cue of uniting couples in7this solemn en-
6 glgement at all hours of the day and night.
After this, why wonder at the div roe
crop? Make divorces odious, and let the
states manage their own business. =,

MARION HARLANp IS VERY POSITIVE.

Ny views on the subject of divorce"
are pronoua ced and may be set forth in a
few lines. While admitting the necessity
of legal separation between husband and
wife for such causes as infidelity. failure to
support, CT city, etc, [ hold that such
cit ler party to marry again. Nothing can
so far dissolve the marriage vow as to make
a second union possible for either party to
the first contract. 1t is absolute and for all
time, while husband and wife live. We're
this the law of the land, there would not |
am persuaded, be one divorce where there
are now one hundred. Setting aside those
which are procured by parties who are con-
scious of the motive impelling them to seek
other alliances, there are many whose dis
content with existing ties is born of the
acknowledged possibility of shaking these
off, and trying for "better luck'' in the
next time," the thought of which makes
intolerable union that m ght-and would
be endured if there were no escape. The
dish 1sitiOn to make the best of what cannot
be gathered is strong in sensible human ma
ture. Very truly yours,
MARION HARLAND.
