families as a rule than do persons better able to
afford to do So should be forced to remain single
while men and women whose marriages are of
no advantage to the community nor to posterity
may wed at will.
Conditions among the poor in many cases
such that the rearing and the keeping together
pf family rendered impossible. On every
had the poor mans efforts to establish and
maintain the sacred relations of matrimony are
discouraged.
How, for instance, can poor man take to him
self wife when the cost OF living is high that
he can barely support life in himself? How
he ask woman to share his lot when he knows
he may at any time be thrown out of work and
perhaps be obliged to watch her starve? How
can man rear family when the chances may
be all against his being able to maintain it? For
maj cannot maintain family when he has no
work. The sight of a starving wife and children
has driven many a man to desperation-even to
crime.
Yet it is the right of the poor to have a home
With them that right is inalienable and per-
maps more precious than with the rich And
clal conditions should be arranged as to allow
the poor to escape from the burden OF vice
through the blessed bonds of matrimony. These
conditions. which are rendering marriage among
the poor more and more impossible, every
day bringing more and more sin into the world
maintain most strongly that there is a remedy
for vice. And that remedy consists in making
marriage possible among the poor and in provid
ing for such people home.
In this country 1t is true, there is a brighter
side to the question than in Europe, as may be
proved from statistics.
In London out of every 900 manageable per-
sons 729 are unmarried. More generally speaking
less than one-thrd of the marriageable population
of London (the largest city of the world) enter
the state OF matrimony. More than twothirds are
single. The conditions for marriage there are all
against the poor man and woman. They may fall
in love as utterly as could any millionaire, but
the gates of the Eden of matrimony are closed
against them and guarded by the flaming sword
Of poverty. They may sigh for marriage but
they realize that such a luxury is far and away
above their means.
In this country the marriage statistics are al
most exactly the opposite of London's. Here about
two-thirds of the marrageable population are
married. leaving barely third unwed.
The explanation of this difference between the
two countries is. of course. easy to find. 1t con-
sists in the better wages. the increased chances
for work, the general conditions which prevail

Search the lives of the men who have made
history. of the men who have achieved true great
ness. who have won fame, who have acquired
wealth.
The vast majority of them were married. OF
these the greater part married young. Their
wives, instead of transforming themselves into
shapely but heavy millstones and dangling about
the CALLED necks of their liege lords. have, in
nine out of ten, done more than all other
influences combined to crown their husbands
lives with success. Nearly all great who
have been married would confess they owed much
of their fame wealth to their wives.
There are, of course. obstacles to happiness in
married life. So also there reefs and shoals
in the Atlantic. But the sailor does not for that
reason become andsman. He studies the shoals
and learns to avoid them The pitfalls in matri-
mony far more easily be studied and avoided
by any couple possessed of moderate degree
Of
My belief from observation, is that 10 out of
100 marriages are happy, and that not more than
five out of that number unhappy.
Apart from love itself there is companionshlp
in married life that draws closer and more beau

Life at 2O-even at 3O-may seem pleasant

has home, wife and children to that last
stage of lifes long climb. Most miserable of NOR
tails is he who must look forward to loveless
and lonely old age.
Annexing wife and family in youth is merely
a higher and wiser form Of putting money in
bank. No other investment yields such interest
in later years.

marriage conditions among the poor have
formed the theme of much of my personal re-
search and OF many of the reports made to me.
1t is one of the great-one Of the very great and
very grave-questions of the day
Marriage among the rich may mean any one
c1al advancement: it may be a mere matter of
convenience; it may be the outcome of idleness
and piopinquity.
But marriage among the poor is the most
cosent means Of reform. BY making marriage
universally possible among those who are not
blessed with an abundance of this worlds goods
the most deadly blow imaginable would be dealt
TO vice. The greatest step would by such means
be taken toward vices utter elimination

TO enter into 1t at all Yet he perhaps far oftener
than his wealthier brother, recognizes the hon.

say this advisedly Among the poor infdelity
is far less frequent than among the rich The
poor man and his wife hold the marriage relation
more sacred than do those OF greater worldly
wealth.
1t is therefore doubly unfortunate that a class
30 worthy of the blessings of matrimony should
be so frequently debarred from those blessings;
that the people who maintain the sanctity of the
marriage tie and who. moreover. bring up larger
