he is the editor in such town as

had no meaning, or was he merely
talking for effect?
The unwritten law which says Ven
geance is mine" is no excuse for the
disgraceful broils of the degenerate
man and woman who find their only
pleasure in dissipation. The man who
despoils innocence himself-who gives

Dean of the Washington College of
Law Defines It as the Right to De-
fend the Integrity of Family Life.
BY ELLEN SPENCER MussEY.

BY ELLEN SPENCER MUSSEY.
Dean of the Washington College of Law.
The unwritten law might be de-
fined to be right to defend the integ-
rity of family life against all invasion
and invaders. While the family has
no distinct legal entity apart from the
persons who compose it. yet. in the
interest of society. the law holds the
more intimate family relations as
sacred and not to be inquired into by
court of justice. 1t is on this ground
that communications between husband
and wife are privileged. and they can
not testify as to confidential communi-
cations made by one to the other
during the marriage.
Marriage is civil institution as
well as a contract, and 1t should be
religious sacrament. Law cannot
make or unmake the true marriage
relation, but so far as the relation
concerns society and the state, it must
control it.
The Family as Unit.
The law regards carefully all prop
erty rights 1t deals promptly with
the trespasser and the thief. and en-
forces contracts. The murderer, the
embezzler, the perjurer have justice
meted out to them as enemies of the
commonwealth.
But the law does not deal with the
family as a unit. Every student of
sociology knows that the homes of the
commonwealth are its real corner
stones, but the law does not so recog
nize it. 1t is the one institution still
left to the defense of the head of the
family. In the very nature of things.

the other leave his home and wave a
