Calls Such Weddings a Farce.
Marriage not based on a foundation
Of love is a farce, said Charles a. Doug
lass, well-known criminal lawyer "and
no farce and fraud can bring real and
true success. A man that marries a wO-
man for her money degrades all the holy
and beneficial results Of marriage. A
man ought to marry a woman from a
sentimental point Of view; because hs
loves her and because she loves him.
Without this there will be no peace in
the home, and no success outside Of the
home.
Every really successful mans career
is based on the inspiration he gets from
his home life. No man ought TO OF will
succeed If his marital relations are based
on any other things than these. Every
man, perforce, is a bread-winner and a
success-builder. All he has any right to
expect in the partnership Of the married
