IDEAL IN HoUsEKRH
Many of the old Customs ditiOns Are Passing En3
 ly Away. K

A generation ago to be an idA1
 keeper was the chief ambition &l
 every woman. No girl desiredA
 fate than to be placed at the he1
 household with a good and lovin
 band to supply all her wants and
 her tho mistress and the queen
 heart and his home. In most case1 the Peoria Herald Transcript. thl
 who started housekeeping had mol less experiencein in theart under the tu of her mother. She loved to decorate beautify the house which was toJb
 home during the rest of her earthly grimage. She loved to create delicac for her husband and her children, ar disguise 1t as we may, much of the q lection she received was due entirely her skill as homemaker. When ho.| children grew up around her this kind and sympathetic mother and the runtty werefn chief attractions in their world. As tAey grew older the ties only grew tho stronger. When they acquired families of their own the old homestead, with its abundance of good things, still had attractions for them. The kind old mother was still their best friend. Sho knew all the difficulties they had to en- counter in starting homes of their own. and her advice and sympathy wero worth more to them than gold. Tho grandchildren came to venerate her a3a sort of venerable goddess, and when she finally went away from the homo circle she left vacancy which could never be filled. X
 But we are assured with every symp. tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing; that women have been emancipated; that iE the future they arr to be the rival, instead of the helpmate, of man, and that they must combine n enforce their just demands against tho hostility of the male sex. Thip is non. sense pure and simple. It may be true that there are more mannish women in this generation than there were in tha last. It is unfortunately true that larger proportion of the female popularA ton has been forced to be self-support. ing, but it is not true that women enjoy. the so-called liberty which goes with toiling for living.

MARRIAGB REFORMS.
Advocated by University Professor
 in Book Recently Issued.
Plans Include State Supervisi0n of All Contracts and Liberal Divorce Laws-Evtls in the Social
 Structure.

State supervision of all marriage contracts, uniform and liberal divorce laws, the abolition of the common law marriage and the education of the young ill sex problems are few of the reforms advocated in a new book about to be issued at the University of Chicago.
 The work, in three large volumes, represents 12 years research work on he part of Dr. George Elliot Howard, former head of the department of his- tory at the University of Nebraska, and until recently occupying similar post at Leland Stanford, Jr., univer- sity. Prof. Howard is the most recent addition to the staff of the lecture division of the University of Chicago.
 Our present dual system by which marriages may be solemnized by eith- CT civil officers or clergymen, is not the ideal plan" says Prof. Howard. Tt is too complex and is an obstacle in the way of the development of an effective system of matrimonial legis- lation. It is awkward and thoroughly Illogical to intrust the execution of the laws to two classes of persons; one civil officers created by the state, the other completely beyond such control. The license system is also uncertain and complex in many of it's features.
 Radical reform in the administra- tion of matrimonial legislation is a task for future legislators. Every county should be divided into districts, for each of which a registrar should be appointed to license, solemnize and register ali marriages civilly contract ed therein and to license, register and attend all religious celebrations of marriage
 "The lawmaker cannot reach the root of the divorce evil. It is planted deeply in the social structure and Is in a great measure due to false senti- ment regarding marriage and the fam fly, sentiment which can only be removed by more rational education. Carefully drawn and uniform statutes can, however, render conditions favor able for the operation of this needed social reform. We need new education in the problems of sex and this in struction should be given to the young, not prudishly. but frankly, and perhaps while the child is still in high school.
 "The fact that four of our states New York, Utah, California and Mis- sissippi-have liberated themselves by statutory enactments from the common law marriage within the past ten years is of vast social import and from it reformers may take courage. In such legislation lies our hope of be- ing able to free America from the evils of the common law marriage.
 ''The trouble in nutshell Is that there is less care exercised in the mat ing of human beings than there is in the breeding of fat stock. By exercis- ing care in contracting unions we shall solve the so-called divorce problem "

COL. HOUSE LOCKS
 HORNS WITH EVANS
Joint Debate Between Colonel House and Judge Evans On
 Gubernatorial Issue.

Ozark, Ark, Feb. Is. Over 800 voters were here today to hear the joint discussion between Judge J. H. Evans and Col. J. w. House of Little Rock. Judge Evans spoke first, and said he was for Governor Davis because he was an antitrust leader and endorsed the Democratic plat form. He referred to letters that had passed between him and Gov. Davis and about their being at outs. Col. House could use them to any advantage he saw fit He charged Col. House with voting for Powell Clayton for X United States senator and not voting for Governor Davis in the general election. He referred to the third term, and spoke of county officers running for third term and about the supporters of James K. Jones voting for him four times for United States senator.
 Col. House was received amid loud applause when he took the stand. He said he did not come here to dictate to any one, but to advocate the election of Judge Wood. He paid a high tribute to the judges of the supreme court, and said they were all men of high character and in tegrity, and he had never heard of the supreme courts decisions being drug into a campaign be-
 he explained to the audience why he voted for Powell Clayton for United States senator and denied that he had any love for him. He said he had always voted the Democratic ticket, but was away for his health during the last election, and that was the reason he didn't vote for }Gov. Davis, but he had always contributed to the Democratic |.a.(, .a.c(,as1ppaign fund.
