Anarchy and Marriage.
A student of sociology, who publishes
the results OF his researches in the guise
Of fiction. states in his latest work that,
whereas the European Anarchist is
usually actuated by political motives,
that found in this country is mainly in
terested in matters of an emotional
kind, and confirmation of this view seems
to have been furnished by Emma Gold
man in an address on THE Hypocrisy
Of Puritanism" made at a recent dinner
given by a club of radicals in New
York. According to the report of a re-
liable guest at this dinner, the principal
note in her clamor for absence of re-
straint of any kind was that love should
be free, and that, whatever phase her
criticism of the Puritan took, she came
back again and again to that as the
main contention of her creed.
While Socialism is, of course, antipodal
to anarchy, since the latter is individual
ism gone crazy, whereas the former has
cooperation and regulation as the tenets
of its creed, there has been tendency
on the part of some groups of Socialists
to favor the theories of the Goldman
woman as regards the lifting of regula-
ton in matters of the heart, aud this
being so, now that so many persons are
playing with Socialism, and our colleges
and schools are becoming more or less
infected by it, there is the greatest need
that parents should take cognizance of
the influences that may lead their sons
and daughters to regard marriage and
its obligations, or other time-honored con
yenti0ns lightly. What with the ex-
ample of reckless divorce as practiced
in many conspicuous quarters, the radi-
cal theories made public by the daily
press and the publication in widely read
home magazines of articles by leaders
of thought in which marriage as at pres
ent constituted, is presented as an out
worn institution, the youth of the land
may well be in danger of having it's

The iawlessness of youth is giving
such concern to school authorities all
over the land that systems of moral in
sJfucuon are being urgently discussed
and this is well. But since there are
certain phases of education in the moral
