CARDINAL GIBBONS
PLEADS FOR CHANGE
IN DIVORCE LAWS

From the Deiineator for July.l
The reckless facility with which d.
vorce is procured in this country is an
evil scarcely less deplorable than Nor
rnonism-indeed, it is in some respects
more dangerous than the latter, for d.
vorce has the sanction of the civil law,
which Mormonism has not. Is not the
law of divorce a virtual liberation of
Mormonism in a modified form? Nor
monism consists in a simultaneous po-
lygamy, while the law of divorce prac-
ticaily leads to successive polygamy.
Each state has on its statute books a
list of eauses-or, rather, pretexts-
which are recognized as sufficient
ground for divorce. There are in ali
twenty-five or more causes, most of
them of a trifiing character, and in
some states, as in Illinois and Maine,
the power of granting a divorce is left
to the discretion of the Judge.
It Is plainly manifest that the cancer
of divorce is rapidly spreading over the
community and poisoning the fountains
of the nation. Unless the evil IL
checked by some speedy and heroic
remedy, the existence of family life is
| imperilled. How can We call ourselves
Christian people if we violate a
fundamental law Of Christianity And
| If the sanctity and indissolubilitY of
marriage does not constitute a cardinal
principle of the Christian religion, am
at loss to know what does.
Fearful Wrecks Due to Scandal.
| Picture to yourself the fearful wrecks
daily caused by this rock of scandal,
and the number of families that are
| cast adrift on the ocean of life.
| Great stress is justly laid by moral
fists on the observation OF the Sunday.
But what mockery is the external re-
pose of the Christian Sabbath to homes
| from which domestic peace is BAN
| jshed. where the mothers heart is
| broken and the fathers spirit crushed,
and where the children cannot cling
| to one Of their parents without exciting
| the jealousy or hatred of the other.
| And these melancholy scenes are fol-
| lowed by the final act OF the drama
when the family ties are dissolved and
| hearts that had vowed eternal love and
| union are separated to meet no more.
| The facility with which marriage is
annulled is most injurious to the morals
| Of individuals, of the family and of So
ciety.
| 1t leads to ill-assorted and hasty mar
ria ges. because persons are less circurh-
speet in making compact which may
afterward be dissolved almost at will.
| 1t stimulates discontinued and I'M
principled husband or wife to lawless-
ness, quarrels and even adultery, well
| knowing that the very crime will af-
| ford a pretext and legal grounds for
| separation.

on December II. He will be remem-
bered as formerly a chemist at a fer
tilizer factory here, who was picked
up one night near the corner of King

that he never recovered his faculties
and was sent home to his people In
Germany. The news of his death came

DURAND VICTIM OF GOSSIP.
Ambassadors Retirement Laid to
Lady Susan TownIey.

Washington, D. Gladly Susan
Townley is the latest woman to cause
a diplomatic upset in the country
which her husband serves. II reports
in the Diplomatic Corps in Washing
ton r true, it Is largely because of
her that Sir Mortimer Durand, Brit
ish Ambassador to the United States,
has handed in his letter of recall to
the President, and is to be succeeded
by the Right Hon. James Bryce.
Lady Susan is the wife of Walter
Beaupre Townley, formerly coun-
sellor of the British Embassy here,
and at present Minister for England
to Brazil. She is the daughter of the
seventh Earl of Albemarle. whose
family name is Keppel, and before
her marriage to Mr.. Townley was
Lady Susan Mary Keppel. She comes
from one of the most prominent fam
lilies in England, and her father was
a famous admiral. One of Lady Su-
sans brothers is the present earl.
Lady Susan did not like Washing
ton, and she was unhappy in her So
cial relations with Lady Durand. She
is quoted on n occasion as being
dissatisfied with the fact that she had
to go to dinner behind the "daugh-
ter of a country c~urate's, daughter"
1t Is also said Lady Susan rather
freely criticised American officials
and their ways, making comments on
the President, Secretary Taft and
others of the official set, and having
witticisms at hand in speaking Of
official functions. These remarks
have been credited recently to Lady
Durand herself, but it is said that
Lady Durand never expressed any
opinions one way or the other of
Washington official society.
