OPPOSES STAND OF
CARDINAL GIBBONS
MARYLAND Bar Association Hears Ad-
dress Supporting Present Divorce
Laws as Essential to
Good of State
fBy Associated Press.l

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, July g..
Describing as a 'gruesome picture
that drawn by Cardinal Gibbons in his
views upon divorce, Henry B. Brown,
former justice of the supreme court OF
the United States. spoke yesterday at
the meeting of the Maryland State
Bar association.
"The law and its procedure in di-
vorce," was the subject discussed by
Mr.. Brown. He held that divorce fair
ly obtained and on due and personal
notice to the other side generally re-
bounds to the welfare of both sides
and proves a real blessing.
THE head of the Roman Catholic
church in America, a man for whom
I have profound respect" said Mr..
Brown, has painted divorce as a mon
ster, licensed by the laws of Christian
states, to break hearts, to wreck homes
and ruin souls This is certainly a
gruesome picture.

idealist 100 years ago and taught by
a following of conscientious enthusi-
asts can maintain its authority for
ever. however exalted its origin, If 1t
run counter to the traditions, customs
and general moral standing of the
people.
1T is not proved why the partner
ship created by marriage should be
so far different from a commercial
partnership that one may be dissolved
at pleasure while the other is abso-
lutely indissOluble.
"a proper regard for the interests
of the state as well as the preserva-
ton Of domestic happiness would seem
to require that when the whole obli-
cation of the matrimonial pact had
been defeated by the habitual, persist
ent and uncomfortable conduct of either
party and that relation which should
represent the acme of human happi-
ness is made to stand for all that is
most repugnant to our desires and an
ticipations, severance of the tie
should be permitted. The story of do
mestic unhappiness is only too IA
