by reason of the many causes of di-
Torce under the laws of this state, mar
liage is lowered to the level of CONNER
cialisnl, and the consequences are more
baneful to society than Mormonism.
Whenever a man prefers another wo-
man to his wife he usually finds a way
to compel her to take refuge in the d.
vorce courts, and it not infrequently
happens that the husband retains and
rays for the lawyers on both sides Of
the case, and in this manner there is
little difficulty in securing the divorce.
7 his is why there are apparently so
many more women than men seeking
SllVOTCeS.
The time may come when the legs-

causes for divorce, and make it more
difficult for persons to sever the mar
rage ties. and if not that, an enlight-

the minds of the people of holier hon.
