BALTIMORE January e6.-Cardinal
Gibbons at his residence yesterday,
gave an authorized Interview on the
American woman. In answer to a ques-
ton, His Eminence said:
Any woman who instructs her
neighbor or friend who is a wife how
to avoid the responsibilities OF mother
hood Is taking as great a responsibilities
and committing as deadly u sin as II
she became the accomplice of mur-
dcress. In fact. this sort Of thing is
murder of the most cowardly kind.
NO doubt many women thoughtless-
ly discuss this subject among each
other. 1t is not unusual in all prob
ability. for older women to advise their
younger sisters, who are about to as
sumo the relations of wife hood to
have good time and travel for few
years, avoiding the responsibilities Of
motherhood. This instruction that has
been given the young wife is probably
without the knowledge of the husband.
s"Such wife will; In time. lnevita-
bly, destroy her own happiness, as well
las that Of her husband. She may think
she is enjoying herself. but the really
good time will never come to wife
who establishes herself among this
class OF women and their male asso-
GATES.
The Social Evil.
The social evi! Il use the term in
q more general sense than 1t Is gem
orally appiied) is a far greater evil In
this country than the drinking habit.
1t is true that the lower form OF the
social evil and intemperance in drink
ing are allied evils; they go hand In
hand. The social evil, in all its forms,
is such q delicate subject to handle
that it seems Impossible to educate the
people toward righteous living in this
regard"
