Marriage and Divorce.

Thomas Speed Mosby, pardon attor-
ney OF Missouri, affirms an intimate
relationship between divorce and crime.
Fifty per cent of the children in the
reform schools he says, ARE children
of divorced parents or children of I'M
certain parentage. Fully rs per cent
of Juvenile criminals have had bad en-
vironment, and large percentage of
adult criminals may trace their down
fall to the ruined home Yet Mr..
Mosby does not favor the abolition of
divorce nor greater stringency in di-
vorce laws, and contends that so long
las I'VE cannot guarantee infallibility
in matrimonial selection. the state must
recognize divorce" This leads him to
the conclusion that the remedy should
be prophylattic rather than curative,
and therefore he advocates publicity
of matrimonial engagement, with lapse
of time between engagement and mar
riage. which would tend not only to
| facilitate the discovery of any legal
| impeachment to marriage, but to in
crease the prospect of infallibility in
matrimonial selection
In other words Mr.. Mosby supports
| the banns of the Catholic church
though he thinks the three weeks
period required by the church too brief
The publication of banns was decreed
by the great Pope Innocent H. in the
year 1915. 1t was adopted in the laws
of England under George III ant
George II and has Since found its way
into other churches, though it is moi
made compulsory.
There is no subject concerning whicf
there is greater diversity of opinion
than divorce legislation. The bann:
doubtless effects its purpose in Cath
olic country where marriage by the
church is the rule, and in other coun
tries so far as the faithful communi
cants of the church are concerned. Blu
the ability to be married out of the
nation or civil magistrate, breaks dow
some of the effects of the law of banns
which. to be effective, must apply uni
versally, and until it does so appl,
may bind the course only of such a.
are willing to be bound by it.
The principle of banns is sound OF
the theory that prevention is bette
than cure and that marriage in hast
produces repentance at leisure" Tha
stricter divorce legislation is not nee
essary is view few will share wit
Mr.. Mosby. The conviction grows tina
the very laXity of orr laws invit TO
divorce. If to require the lapse of
period OF time before marriage ma
be contracted would serve a good enc
certainly there would be wisdom i
requiring the lapse of much longe
period after the date of the filing @
the petition for divorce before de
cree might issue.

grow dim as time rolls on. Cheeks lose
the bloom which cosmetics cannot re-

may be, and the eyebrows become
