a woNAN's VIEW OF DIVORCE.

The first day of the session of the
Florida legislature twenty seven bills
were introduced and seventeen of
them bore on divorce.
This is proof that divorce continues
an important problem in our civiliza-
ton.
In recent issue OF Golfers Weekly
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, one of
the most tamOuslY intellectual wo-
men OF the century, contributes q
most remarkable paper on this inter-
esting subject.
We believe her observations may
prove of value to our lawmakers.
She says:
Perhaps there never has been a
time since men began TO think when
the problems of life, social, religious
and political, attracted SO much at
tentiOn as at this, the dawn of the
new century. Easily first among the
problems that engage the best minds
of the age is the question of divorce,
but before we can speak intelligently
or understand this question scienti-
ficslly, we must consider what mar
riage is. not only from our modern
American standpoint, but from a
religious and civil viewpoint as well.
From whatever side we view it
there can be no question but that the

MARRIAGE AND DlVoRcE-DUIY OF
OUR Law MAKERS.

The contract between man and
woman known As "marriagen is the
most sacred relation recognized by
our institutions and our laws.
A. matters OF such grave and far
reaching Importance flow from this
union il should invite the most serious
attention Of our law makers and those
interested in the study of the subject.
Ii is generally admitted that the
relation Is entered into too friviously
and hastily aud without proper
consideration of its great RESPONSE
bilities.
The relation is not purely all indi-
vldual affair. The health, strength
aud purity of the race and the hap
piness of society are all at stake and
should be consulted.
The grounds upon which divorces
are granted should first be considered
before the marriage relation is con-
summated.
The man and the woman making
application for marriage should be
pronounced 10y competent authority
physically, mentally and morally fit
for this holy relation.
The marriage of the unfit" should
be classed among the highest crimes
known to our laws.
\ minister or judicial officer is
aroused at midnight 10y a couple
whom lie has never before seen and
about whom he knows nothing, and
without so much thought as he
would give to the shining of his
shoes, he joins them in the most sac
red relation known to the human race
And yet our judicial officers and
ecclesiastics stand aghast at the num-
bers seeking release from the woes o!
the marriage bed aud the question,
"Is marriage failure?" is being Sc
riOusly discussed.
There exists an affinity between those
whom God hath joined together
an intellectual affinity, social af-
finity, physical affinity, a moral af-
finity, religious affinity, race al
finity-and when and where this
affinity Is found wanting the jointure
is 3 crime.
1t is as much a sin to ''j0in together
whom God hath put asunder" a. it is
To put asunder" whom God hath
COINED together"
The health and strength of society
both from physical and moral
standpoint-should depend upon the
marriage, and none but the "fit"
should be allowed to enter into this
sacred relation.
Those who are whitening and de-
forming the human race by distri-
buting physical disease and moral inn
purity-the imbecile and idiOtic, the
depraved and Observation-Disclosures
born within or without the holy bonds
of wedlOck, should be subjected to the
surgeons knife.
Our lawmakers should be the de-
Tenders of the home, the protectors of
society, the builders of the race.
Under existing cOnditiOns-with
the laxiiy of our marriage lsws-the
miscellaneous coupling together of
the unfit and mismated-the refusal
of divorce would be crime against
our humanity, against our civiliza-
ton and against our God.

When divorce is prohibited, wives
are made the unwilling mothers of
mentally and morally tainted chill
dren, who are not born but damned
into world of hate and bitterness to
become burden upon society.
When love is dead between hus'
band and wife, when the touch ere
ates loathing and disgust, to compel
them to live together Is to condemn
them to a living, hopeless hell. 1t Is
the children of these mismated men
and women, who, filed with cOnten-

were begOtten, swell the ranks Of
