Felix Adler's Idea Shocks
Washingtonians.
DRAGS MEN DOWN TO CATTLE
Ethical Students Denounce Abolishing
Romance and Personal Happiness
From Marriage.

Because he has pronounceti fhe death
sentence upon Cupid. the students OF
ethical living in Washington are in
arms against Prof. Felix Adler. of New
York. founder of the ethical culture
movement. and heretofore regarded as a
champion of right and religious living.
Last Sunday Professor Adler. in an
address at Chicago. said happiness was
not essential to the making of a sue
cessful marriage. He styled those who
considered their own happiness in mar
riase as selfish egotists." He said the
object of marriage was to keen the
flame of life burning. and when thar
was done the marriage was a success.
Health and a better offspring should ba
striven for
"Repulsive"
THE stand taken by Professor Adler
is new. said DR. Teunis s. Hamlin. eft
is extreme and in its deliberate declara-
ton is positively repulsive 1t is against
the teachings of all ethics and the
teachings Of the Scriptures IT makes
the object and the sole object of all
marriage the breeding of children. and
robs the relation of all romance. l fe.r
that Professor Adler has beer mis-
quoted. for can hardly conceive of
such theory coming from such a
source"
Worse Than President.
Mrs. Clinton Smith. of the w. c. T.
T.. declared:
1T is worse than the Presidents race
suicide theory, which sacrifices the
mother and the quality of children to
the demand for numbers. Still such an
idea of marriage can be only regarded
as a joke No; as a mother of sons T
would dislike To see them marry for
such a reason. Men may not do so.
but women give these matters all the
consideration 10 which they are entit-
led. Ii is not merely the sturdy limbed
giantess who is capable Of making a
good mother. for motherhood will de-
velop strong latent qualities in every
woman If she is given a chance A mar

On Plane With Cattle.
1T aims at the most sacred of our
institutions said Rabbi Abram Simon.
OF the Eighth Street Tabernacle THE
idea of marriage without happiness
takes from it ali that is spiritual and
religious. For many centuries. all the
sects have endeavored TO make mar
riage a sacred relation and hold 1t above
the sordid; and here is theory that if
put into practice would reduce il to the
level of breeding cattle.
'-The happiness of mankind depends
entirely upon the happiness of the fndi-

limb. be without the spiritual nature
and less the desirable product. The
child Of unhappy parents would assur-
edly be unhappy Every child has a
right TO be born of strong body but he
has a greater right to he born happy.
This idea Of marriage would assur-
edly Increase the number of divorces
and OF contract marriages and the re-
ligious element would be entirely lost"
