DIVORCES AND
RACE SUICIDE
VEHEMENTLY ASSAILED BY
CATHOLIC PRIEST AT
PURITY CONGRESS.
MOTHER LOVE IS DEAD
In Bosom Of Woman Who Slaughters
Helpless Unborn Babe--Spectrc
Divorce Menaces Wom-
ans Honor.

Battle Creek. Mich, Oct. 31.--Rcr.
Father J. NJ Cleary, of Minneapolis,
yehemcntly assailed divorce anr rao
suicide at tonights session of the
Purity Congress.
Taking up the quality and not TIE
quantity of the argument often all
yanced in defense or small families,
Cleary declared that quantity and
quality in this relation were not an
tagonistic terms. "The assumption
that one or two children can be
reared to better men and woman than
ten to dozen in a Christian home
is wholly false" he said "and cannot
be supported by the test of expert
ence. Mothers who harbor the heart
Of a murderer, the woman who has
slaughtered the helpless unborn babe,
has smotheed the mother love in her
unnatural BOSOM"
On divorce, Cleary said: THE
honor CT woman is insecure In human
society when the dread spectre cf
divorce casts dark shadow on the
Christian home Under every con-
ceivabe pretext that deprayed desire
can suggest. the wife and mother, who
should be the most tender object Of
chivalrous devotion. is set aside aud
degraded by the one individual, her
husband, who should value his life
at but a beggarly price to pay In de-
tense of her dignity and honor. The
married state is the natural one fer
the majority of mankind. The church
has never faltered in its faithful de-
tense OF the holiness and inviolability
OF the marriage bond. But the church
has praised virginity for her divine
founder and exalted 1t by living
visginal life. The celibate state is
neither impossible nor repugnant to
human nature
Mrs. Anna Sloan Walker, of Deca-
tur, ILL.,, national chairman of the
Woman's Prohibition Club of America
also delivered an address at tonights S
session.
Mrs. Walker said any fight against
the saloon must be made through poll
tics and she protested against any at
tempt to govern and control the So
cial evil by law She said the Wom-
ans Prohibition Club of America was
for a national liquor law. a

law against the traffic In young girls.
