FAMILY INSPECTORS TO SEARCH
FOR SKELETONS.
A New Method to Promote Harmony
in the Family.

(By LILLIAN HARTMAN JOHNSON)
| The Pope has issued decree. that
when a priest is not available, mar
rlage between Catholic couples. wher
| witnessed by two persons, shall be
valid.
| This Is long step in the right di-
rection, and must ultimately result in
dispensing with the modern marriage
ceremony, which would be a blessing
to humanity for many reasons, one OF
which is that 1t is ostentatious, and
| therefore. in a degree insincere. Many
a young girl is fascinated with the
| idea OF a church wedding and all the
| dramatic display that goes with it,
and is not led to the altar through
| reasons that will endure. Therefore,
| the more and simple and quiet the
wedding, the more likely there is an
| honest purpose back of 1t. Another
reason in favor of the quiet wedding
| IS that less humiliation attaches If the
| couple have made mistake, and they
| are not likely to live on criminally
together because they dread the criti-
c!sm of the public as do couples who
are victims of the public ceremony.
But while marriage is made easy by
the new system, divorce should be
made correspondingly easy. 1t is quite
as important that human beings sepa-
rate when there is discord between
them as that they united when there
Is harmony The business partnership
may be dissolved at any time for any
reason. The law would restrain only
those engaged in supplying the world
with men and women from dissolving
disagreeable partnership, and yet
how necessary to the welfare of hui
manity, how much more essential that
divorce should be more easily obtain
ed than marriage license
Why? Because 1t an arch crime for
two people to live together inharmoni-
ously; it is travesty on decency and
has a degenerating influence upon the
race.
Divorce should not only be made
easy but compulsory! There should
be family inspectors appointed by the
state whose business 1t shall be to find
out If welded people live in harmony,
and If they do not. they should be sep
arated, first for the cause of the race,
because children have n right to be
well born, born under harmonious con-
ditions, second, because the children
already born have right to harmoni-
Gus surroundings, and third, to save !
the parents from themselves, for many
times the inspector would haul out a
family skeleton that the pride of the
couple would forbid them to exhibit.
Innocence may suffer. and all sorts
of crimes be committed in the name
OF law and order. and this miserable
thing called pride, which is anything

THE JOSEPH NEWMAN COMPANY,

Some one has said that Joseph New
man could not head an opera company
if he tried. AS an actor he probably
ranks with those who play n minor
part. But so does Riley as a poet;
so did Gene Field, and so in a meas
ure do all those who with simple jest,
gentle and tender pathos and sym
pathy play lightly and sweetly upon
our heart strings. And it is the
quiet touches after all that do more
for us than the tense tragedy, the
flight of oratory, the display of pomp
and blare of the greater stage. So
Joe comes to us each season to play his
little part and to sing his funny songs,
and everybody seems glad to have him
come. And he knows how to surround
himself with other entertainers who
can assist him with other phases of
entertainment as fine as his own,
though different in kind.
In Miss Greta Rost, contralto, Miss
Carlotta Boxler, violinist, and Miss
Azile Tockey, accompanist and imper
senator, he has three really talented
young ladies, and with two little farces
to supplement the regular program of
vocal and instrumental music, he
promises an unusually enjoyable even
ing when the company comes to the
opera house Monday. September 8.
