W HAT we need Is a doctrine oil

cut doctrine of marriage. The church
is tied up to the ethics of 1000 years
ago. the oriental fantasies of Paul
THE old idea of marriage was in
culcated and secured through two
fundamental nciples-reverence to
parents and the understanding that
marriage was to be permanent These
principles are both imperiled," is the
idea of DR.. Felix Adler.
Under present conditions they are
no longer tenable, for the first was
founded on the idea that the child had
no rights except through its parents.
It's position was one of the sub
servience, of unquestioned obedience
to the parents, and as regards the per-
manence of the marriage tie, 1t was
chiefly bond that tied the woman to
the man. Her position was one OF
subordination.
To-day we admit that the child has
rights which we are bound to respect
and that the woman Is the equal of
inc man.
One trouble with modern marriage
is that the masculine element pre-
dominates in the ceremonial. This
should not be so. The great trouble
is that people who marry nowadays
look in marriage only for happiness.
Happiness is not the end of marriage,
as most people think, but only an In.
cident of married life. They are
bound to find many trials. They should
respect the etchical ideals; their great
responsibility is to future generations.

the blame for the marital unrest on

LONDON PAPERS COMMENT
Thank America, But Say English Craft
should HnVc Recn on Hand

LONDON, Jan. 21-An the morning
newspapers again print articles on the
Kingston incident which they regard
as already virtually settled, or, at any
rate. they say the tension of the crisis
has been relieved by the admirably
toned dispatches exchanged between
the two governments.
Expressions of the deepest gratitude
for the help rendered by the American
navy continue to be used, and while
full allowance is made for the exc. D.
tional circumstances. which may have
accounted for Governor Swettenham' s
ruffied feelings, the newspapers are
unanimous in censuring strongly the
tone of his letter as absolutely wrong
and uncalled for, and this in spite of
the fact that the papers recognize that
Rear Admiral Davis also might have
been somewhat blameworthy.
The morning papers make two
rather interesting points out of the
affair. The first is strong criticism Of
the Governments policy in leaving an
important colony without warships.
thus compelling reliance upon foreign
help in a great emergency. with the
consequent loss of British prestige.
The second point is found in the
much adverse comment on War Secre-
tary Haldanes unusual course in ad-
dressing a telegram to Secretary Root.
The Daily Graphic calls this an extraor-
binary breach of official etiquette, Off
cious and entirely superfuous. Even
the Tribune, a Government organ, ex-
presses surprise at Haldane thus set
ting a new precedent
The Tribune is collecting the sigma
lures of public men to a document de-
claring that far from involving any
Humiliation" the offers of American
aid for the Kingston sufferers call for
the appreciation of the British empire,
and assuring the American Government
and people of Great Britain's deep graf
itude.
Included among the signers is Ber-
nard Shaw, who writes:
Rear Admiral Davis evidently is not accus-
toned to the manners of the English official
classes. Governor Swettenham would naturally
regard American admiral with certain sus-
picion first as a foreigner and dissenter; second,
as q member of a naval branch into which the
sons of clergymen and other professional persons
enter freely, and. finally as an offcIous intruder
whose action implied that England could not
cope with an earthquake without assistance.

acting with studied politeness under circum-
stances of most presumptuous provoca tion
