The divorce evil is fast bringing the
United States into close competition with
Mohammedan Syria. through its poIyga-
nous practices under its pI8y-fast-and-
loose divorce process. We may abhor the
polygamy Of Mohammedan syria. but
there is a progressive polygamy practiced
to-day I'm certain portions Of American So
ciety.
In some States men high in social life
get tired Of their life partners and liter
ally swap wives by the so-caIled tandem
marriages, which follow Immediately
upon divorces obtained. when the real rea-
son is preference for another person.
We need a constitutional amendment
permitting Congress TO deal with this
whole subject OF divorce-a Federal law
forcing uniformity in this matter Of d.
vOTCe The churches should besiege our
American Congress until an amendment
TO the national Constitution shall be sub
mitted 20 the States. which shall author
ize the enactment by our national legis-
latUre of uniform marriage and divorce
laws for all our States and Territories and
dependencies

Rev. DIR. John Reid shannon preached
last night at Metropolitan Memorial NJ.
+. Church the second of his series Of
sermons on his travels in Bible lands.
He sojourned with his congregation in
the city Of Damascus. Syria.
Damascus" said Dr. Shannon. rs the

the arms of Rome first warred. when
the genius OF Greece first shone. Ii has
objects older than the pyramids of
Egypt. Damascus is the greatest city
of the religion of Mohammed-the reli-
glon Of one-eighth Of the people of the
world. II has more than 800 mosques and
several Mohammedan colleges"
a word picture was given OF the mosque
of John the Baptist. on whose decoration
more than 200 Greek artists were en-
gagged for twenty-five years.

a man in our country nlls his stable

dan women are sold in the marriage

when a Mohammedan would get rid
OF one of his wives he divorces her by
the very easy process of saying: You

The separation is then complete. There
is just a little more fOrmality than that
in some of our Commonwealths in de-
creeinE divorces.
THE freedom and frequency of divorce
in our country form one of our greatest
social problems. The United States leads
all other countries in the ratio OF divorces
to marriages. More than twice as many
divorces are granted each year in the
United States as are granted each year
IN England, Germany, France. and Rus

twelve marriages. and the ratio is in

PLAYS LIQUOR TRADE
Barman Worse Than High
wayman, Says DR.. Stuart.
SOUTHERN MOVEMENT LAUDED
Discusses Whence and whittier of
Great Temperance Campaign In
ment-Says Liquor Would Make the
Jack Rabbit Spit at the Bulldog.

Don't go away and say I said the man
who sells liquor or who votes for liquor
selling is lower than a highway robber.
He is seven times lower" declared Rev.
DR.. George r. Stuart, of Cleveland,
Tenn. speaking at Mount Vernon NJ L.
Church yesterday afternoon.
Or. Stuart was one OF the speakers in
the campaign put forward in Washington
yesterday under the auspices of the Anti
Saloon League. He is a picturesque and
spectacular speaker. both in the manner
and the matter OF what he has TO say
His condemnation of the liquor traffic
those who engage in it, and those who
vote for it was vitriOllc in its intensity.
In paying respects 10 the commodity dealt
over the bar. Dr. Stuart declared:
IF a jack rabbit took a drink Of IT he
would stand up on his hind legs and spit
in a bulldogs face" The doctor IS not for
that kind of a bracer.
Temperance In south.
He discussed the whence and the Whith-
er of the great Southern temperance
movement. which he said is not a wave
to be lost on the shore, not tide to re
cede, but a great development which will
neither be lost nor recede.
Observing, It's a great age and we're
going some" DIT. Stuart declared he was
sick and tired of Christianitys plati-
tudes. lie said II the temperance people
are sorry for the drukard. they had bet
ter go after him. After telling a story
which led him TO the conclusion that men
are about as bad to rubberneck as women.
Dr.. Stuart said the same civilization which
which is looking after tuberculosis. ty-
phoid fever. smallpox. diseased meat, and
other diseases. is going to stop alcohol
ism. the worst disease of all To the
brewers and distilers who cry out con
fiscatiOn." he would say:
Shut your mouth. We have a right to
c0nfscate death"
Condemns Morphine Habit.
In condemning the morphine habit and
traffic in that drug, the speaker said: 1T
makes old men and old women sit up
with eyes looking like pOached eggs.
These little jerk-legged doctors going
around shooting morphine into every one
with a toothache or a slight pain are a
curse 10 civilization"
In conclusion, the speaker said the
weakest thing about America IS the dom
nancy of money. The liquor traffic in
America is the only criminal organization
that has money. It's the Old hen that
covers the whole brood. and that's why
the politicians are so allied with the liquor
interests.
Finally declaring man who steals is
a better American citizen that he who
sells liquor, DR.. Stuart said the man
who votes for the traffic is Somewhere
between the dealer and hell"
