RABBI ADVOCATES
EASY DIVORCES
THINKS THIS is SOLUTION
OF THE DIVORCE PROBLEM
Says the Law Should Oppose Hasty
Unions But Not Prevent Divorces
DIR. KrauskOpf Sees In United
States Divorce Statistics Prophecy
of Better Times.

Several hundred exposition visitors
crowded the Auditorium and heard
Rabbi Krauskopf of Philadelphia de-
liver his discourse on "The Marring
of the Marriage Bond"
Rabbi Krauskopf said in part:
"While the facts and figures con-
tanned in the latest census on mar
riage and divorce are saddening,
fail to find in them a reason for ut
ter disheartment, or for such predic-
tions of calamities as foretold by our
prophets of ills.
"At times, I am rather inclined to
find in those figures a hope Of
brighter days coming, Of nobler
conjugal life and a larger domestic
happiness than have yet obtained in
human society. When I analyze the
causes of unhappy marriages, when
I note by whom, for the most part
divorces are sought, to whom they are
granted. and for what cause, when
I find that two-thirds Of divorces are
granted to wronged women, that wives
find Il. more and more, insufferable
TO continue yoked to husbands who
have disgraced their manhood, who
have violated the sanctity of woman
hood. who have polluted the purity OF
the marital tie-when these facts I
note, see the day coming when mar
riage will have a far different mean
ing from what IT has now, when en-
trance into It will constitute a COW
eted privilege, not a convenience Or
speculation or diversion, when pur-
ity not purse, will constitute the abb
solutely necessary prerequisite, when
all thehonor that is now demanded Of
woman will be demanded Of man,
when a lack Of IT in man viii consti-
tute as much Of a bar to marriage,
70 TO continuance Of it, as lack Of It
now constitutes a bar for woman.
Insists on Equal Rights.
Occupying a position Of equality
with man, the American woman in
sists upon her equal rights. The hon
or and virtue demanded Of her she
demands Of her husband. She does
not believe in one standard Of NOR
aiity for the wife. and in another kind
for the husband. Responsible for the
moral we'll being Of her children, she
will have their father as well as their
mother serve them as examplars in
virtue. What constitutes moral guilt
in woman constitutes It no less in
man. Her whole nature rebels
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-08-05

against that injustice that forever ex-
that has been led astray, while it op-
ems wide the best of homes and the
best of marital chances to the moral
leper, if his bankruptcy in morals is
compensated by plethora of wealth
She has not yet discovered, and never
WILL that difference in sex consti-
tutes a warrant for difference in NOR
ais. To her the seventh command
ment, as we'll as the other laws of
similar import, is as binding upon the
man as upon the woman. If her
husband would keep her love and re-
spect. he must, in return, continue to
give her all the love and respect to
which her womanhood, her Wife
hood, her motherhood are entitled.
It is we'll enough to preach the duty
of blessing those that curse, loving
those that hate, but woman, with all
the divinity of her SOUL is after all
but human, and she cannot forever
go on blessing when she is cursed,
loving where she is hated. When
much sinned against she has all she
can do to keep herself from SHINING;
at times, alas, her struggle is hope
less and she succumbs.
Seek Money, Not Happiness.
"There is probably no thought
which occupies young society wo-
man more than that Of being married;
there is probably no thought which
occupies her less than that Of how
to be happy when married, or how
to make a husband happy.
Judging from what we read and
hear and see, and from what the di-
vorce courts reveal, true love seems
to have little or no part in the mar
riage Of many young society wo-
man. If the marital candidate she
encounters 'has money, she will en-
deavor to land him; she will pay lit
tie or no heed to his past history or
present principles, to his education,
culture or temperament. The satis-
faction of being married, of outstrip-
ping a rival, of relieving the mind Of
an anxious mamma, or the pocket
book of an overworked papa, Of
sporting the title Mrs. in front Of her
name, of escaping under that title re-
straints which parents and society
impose upon the unmarried woman,
exercises a wonderful power in the
way Of binding the eyes to the blem-
ishes Of a suitor, or deafening the
ears to warnings against the accept
ance Of him.
"It is not whether there shall be
one way or another way or no way
at all out Of marriage that is Of prime
import to society, but that couples
shall live so happily together that
there shall be no need Of any exit at
all The real remedy lies not in maxi
ing divorce difficult or impossible,
but in making entrance into mar
riage hard, in taking every precau-
ton in advance that those who join in
holy wedlock FOR life shall possess
those absolutely necessary prerequis-
ties, that may render possible a
healthy, happy, sacred marital union.
Says Rule Works Well.
what better illustration Of the
truth Of this than that which is af-
forded US by the history Of the Jew
ish people? Ther code Of laws rec
ognized the right Of divorce from the

WOMAN LEADER
TO TOUR AMERICA
HAWLEY IN SPEAKERS
sUFFRAGETTE, COMING SOON
mtlmatcd that America Is Slow In
WOmcn's Movements and Wants
To Help In the Awallenlng-Found-
er of Potent English Political Force
and Present Leader.

L.ondon.-Mere men of America
who are opposed to granting the right
of suffrage to the fair sex had best
take to the storm cellar until the hur-
ricane is over 1t doesn't need a
weather expert to figure out that the
storm is coming. The announcement
that Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst Is go
ing to tour America is sufficient word
to the wise.
Mrs. Pankhurst is the real live
wire in the militant suffrage move
ment. She Is the originator of the
strenuous life as applied to the task
of landing the ballot for women She
is the lady who made the suffragettes
of London famous. As an agitator
all the long-haired socialists from
Karl Mark to George Bernard shaw
are as a gentle zephyr to a full-sze
cyclone compared with the gentle
Emmeline. "What will that woman
do neXt?" is a question of greater i'm
portance to British officialdom than
the German war scare There isn't
an English official, from Premier AS
quith down to Constable AIRY 'Aw-
kins, but would rather tackle a Ger
man warship under full head Of
steam than to have. an alteration
with this same Emmeline Suffragette
Pankhurst.
America Needs Stirring Up.
In announcing her trip to America
Mrs. Panl5hurst hnted that the suf-
frage movement in the big republic
across the pond was led by a bunch
of pink tea reformers and society
faddists. She intimated that things
needed stirring up in the land of I'm
Gle sam and modestly declared that
she knew a lady who would take
charge Of the stirring, that is, towit,
herself.
As to personal characteristics, Mrs.
Pankhurst belongs in the famous
Little, but Oh my" family which
included Napoleon. Carrie Nation and
other famous personages.
While small and quiet in demeanor
she is looked upon as a terror" by
the houses OF parliament. Her hus-
band the late DR.. Pankhurst, was a
barrister of no mean attainmcnts,
and his championship Of his wlfe's
ideals cost his sex the control of one
hundred and fifty millions of dollars
worth of married women's property,
which was by an act Of parliament
turned over to their ownership abso-
lutely.

New York. Aug. "a reaction that was
neither unexpected nor to many unwel-
come set IN in the last hour OF trading
to-day, and carried stocks down one 70
two points from the days high prices.
Whether by mere coincidence, or IN ac-
cordance with the favorite theory Of SELL
ing on good news, the selling movement
became vigorous at just about the time
that nows was received of the passage Of
the tariff bill. and rather increased after
receipt Of report that President Taft
would sign the bill at once.
From this coincidence It is idle. Of
course, to infer that there is any feeling
except that Of extreme satisfaction that
the last word has now been said on the
tariff, and that the hindrance which the
tariff discussion caused to improve
ment in various lines Of trade is now re-
moved. Rather, Il has been obvious for
week past that the sharp advances IN
that time were based largely on the pas
sage OF the bill by the House Of Repre-
sentativos and the assurance that the
measure would go through the Senate
and be signed by the President in sub
stantially the form reported by the con-
ference committee.
The stock market, which ordinarily
looks to the future. had thus discounted"
the favorable action OF the Senate, eX-
pressing IT'S opinion regarding II before
rather than after final action.
New High Prices.
To-day In the trading before the last
lot u
at new high prices for the year, and the
profit taking and short selling In the last
hour was not extensive enough to take
OF all of the previous gains
Conspicuous among the stocks showing
gains on the day, was Reading, which
sold at a higher price than ever before.
and the movement in which, in the minds
Of SPECTATORS, was associated with an
other striking advance in the stock OF the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. a sub
sidiary Of Reading. In previous days
Of the week, this stock. which is ordin-
arily inactive. had advanced II points
and yesterdays continuation OF tht
movement carried the price TO S15, by fa1
the highest at which the stock ever sold
before this week and a gain Of a points
in four market days.
The rise naturally gave rise TO rumors
that an increased disbursement on Jer-
sey Central would be declared in tho
near future but Of this there was no Off
cial or semi-Official confirmation.
