The San Francisco call., 1909-10-10

TO American marriage requirements was apparently
cheerful, yet the reader should not imagine that
marriage customs held in similar regard by the
majority of participants in the picture marriages.
Notwithstanding the young and girls who are
welded by this plan may have each other
before, their belief in the efficacy of their
rage ritual inbred and though yielding to the de-
mand of government officers that marriage according
to the American be entered into before entry
to the United States is authorized, the latter
mony is regarded largely a joke and is nowise
binding upon the interested parties Certain
of undisputed intellectual strength who have nves-
tigated the above proposition in both Japan and the
United States have not hesitated to declare that:
To question the validity of such marriage by
requiring second marriage according to our law and
custom is wholly without warrant in equity law,
impeaches the integrity of the Japanese government
and is little short of an insult to friendly nation
that the Christian marriage vows are not binding
upon the conscienccs of the non-Christan Japanese
and 1t is little short of farce to require them.
generally accepted principle of international law
is the dictum that marriage contract legalized by
the laws of the country where the ceremony per-
formed should be similarly treated by all other
tries when to regard such contract is not deri-
mental to public policy.
Controverting the opinion quoted abundance Of
legal opinion has been offered in support of the claim
that marriage according to American custom of par
ties to these picture marriages" is demanded not

ese law, and the legal consummation of such mar
riage does not necessarily contemplate social or
religious function of any kind. Moreover, Japanese
law does not require the presence of couple to be
united, though not separated by oceans ex-
panse.
With those controlled by our own American Gus
tom it is hard to conceive of marriage contract not
the result Of understanding agreement between
the principals in such unon which rule obtains to
marriage in Japan. The fact is that the family, and
the individual, is the unit under Japanese law,
and each family has its legal representative--its
"koshu"-who conducts all negotiations pertaining to
marriages. il is also his duty it that upon
completion of such contract the same is duly regis
tered under the family seal The Japanese girl thus
welded becomes integral part of the family of the
husband, and when the little bride mentioned at the
commencement of this article was asked who would

quickly responded. "FIs father and brothers would
have to keep me-"
In the light of the foregoing it is surprising
that participants in Japanese picture marriages" do
take any kindly the rule requiring marriage
having legal force and sanction in country.

all men and women owe their moth

which stands for purity; its form and

MISS TILLOTSON
DELIGHTS HEARERS
FIRST STUDENTS RECITAL BY
NEW DEPARTMENT or Ex-
PRECISION AT THE FARGO CON-
sERvAToRY or MUSIC WAS
coMPLE ETE SUCCESS.

The dramatic recital given by Miss
Sibyi L. TiIlotson, last evening, at
Stones Music hall, was the first stu
dents recital presented by the new
department of expression in the Fargo
College Conservatory of music. The
programme was varied and interest
ing, giving the reade- a wide range
In humor, pathos and characterize
ton. Miss Tillotson's best work was
in the interpretation Of the charac-
ters, varying from the delicate child
to the gruff old sea captain.
The first selec ..on, 4ue Minister,
was an amusing ard interesting story
of a young minister who was away
on his svacation, and how his parish
misconstrued his stated intention of
marrying IAN old friend widow with
flve children Miss Tillotson read the
story with life and animation, MAX
ing all the incidents real to her audi
ence.
Miss Tillotson was at her best in
Captain Perez, the story Of how an old
sea captain won his love by going
through fire and water TO get her."
The Death Disk is very strong in
pathos and dramatic incident and was
very creditably interprs d by the
reader.
Miss Tillotson was ably assisted by
Miss Alta Ashelman, pianist, also Of
the conservatory, who rendered two
numbers from Paderewski and Chopin
in her usually artistic manner. The
audience was a large one and Miss
Tillotson was the recipfeEy of bouquets
of American beauty roses.
