Whereas, It is of the highest import

JUSTICE
DEFENDS DIVORCE

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, July s.
Describing as a ''grewsome picture" that
drawn by Cardinal Gibbons regarding d.
vorce, Henry B. Brown, former Justice Of
the supreme court of the United States,
spoke yesterday at the meeting Of the
Maryland State Bar association.
1.-THE Law and It's Procedure in Dr.
vorce," was the subject discussed by Mr..
Brown. He held that divorce fairly OBJ
tanned and upon due personal notice to
the other side generally rebounds to the
welfare of both sides and proves a real
blessing.
THE head Of the Roman Catholic
church in America, a man for whom 1
have profound respect" said Mr.. Brown,
has painted divorce as a monster. IL
censed by the laws of Christian states, to
break hearts, to wreck homes and ruin
souls This is certainly a grewsome pic
ture.
mo system of laws adopted by an
ideaIist nineteen hundred years ago and
taught by a following of pious and con-
scientious enthusiasts can maintain its
authority forever, however exalted Its
origin, IL II run counter to the tradi-
tions. custom and general moral standing
of the people.
1T is not proved why, the partnership
sealed by marriage, should so far differ
from a commercial partnership that one
may dissolve at pleasure while the
other is absolutely indissoluble.
"A proper regard for the interests of
the state, as well as the preservation Of
domestic happiness, would seem to re-
quire that when the whole obligation of
the matrimonial pact had been defeated
by the habitual. persistent and uncontroll-
able conduct Of either party, and that re-
lation which should represent the acme
Of human happiness is made to stand Tor
all that Is most repugnant to our desires
and authorizations. a severance OF the tie
should be permitted. The story of do
nestle unhappjness is only too familiar.
