 spoke. perhaps in a semi humorous vein. from the viewpoint of common
 sense and reason. When a woman
 marries. she enters into a contract and her happiness. The question Is whether a child Is competent to enter into such, momentous contract rev. Governor thinks not. He is of opinion that Cupid should be curbed to req sonable bounds. Perhaps the Cover the widespread interest which has been excited by his interview in The Sun. He may have disuissed the matter from his mind after making the obser- vations which were quoted. But news papers all over the land copied and commented upon his views. This was because he was discussing one of the vital questions which concern society Last Sunday The Sun published an ar tiole showing in a striking manner the ruin and devastation wrought by the divorce courts. It would be interest ing to know whether youthful mar riages are in any way purVeyors to this business-whether a woman who married at IS is more apt to want q divorce than one who marries at 26 In the time of our grandmothers many girls between the ages of 16 and IS were married. and people in the days Of early marriages were perhaps as happy as they are now. But then the conditions of society have all changed On the plantations where these early marriages usually occurred the young wife had plenty to occupy her mind and hands, and she was not thrown upon society, thirsting for pleasure, be confessed that all the arguments are not on the Governors side. Henry Brooke. author of one of the most fa- nous and among the very best of eigh- teenth century novels-"The Fool of Quality"-while very young man was still younger. Mir. Brooke waited pa- tiently until his ward had arrived at the mature age of IS years and then married her. This marriage was so happy that Charles Kingsley, in an in- troduction to The Fool of Quality" much force in favor of early marriages Still times have changed since Canon Kingsley wrote that introduction.
 The latest comment upon Governor Warfield's theory Is by Miss Beatrice Fairfax. in The New York Evening with MT. Warfield in every particular Her conclusion is that marriage Is the happiest lot for woman, there is no doubt of that: but it Is happiness which should be approached with much caution and preparation.

Consequently when a veteran marries he loses sight of age limitations and discovers when too late that age and sunny youth cannot live together. flor youth rejects the hearts ease and age disdains the roses."
 The conclusion of the whole matter Is that when 1t comes to marrying and giving in marriage arguments ara mostly thrown away. People will give to the Governor and Beatrice Fairfax the same respectful hearing that the crabs and fishes gave to tho good St. Anthony's sermon
