Professor Suggests College of
Domestic Relations.
In Its Administrative Division Our
Matrimonial Laws Require Dras-
tic Revision at Almost
Every Point.

Lincoln, Neb.-"A college of do
nestle relations"-a step in advance
of Chicago's court of domestic rela-
tions-is strongly urged by George E.
Howard, professor of sociology at the
University of Nebraska.
THE sociologist, the economist, the
household scientist, and other special
lists should join forces in such an in
stitution to give sound training in the
problems of sex, parentage and the
household.
mo more harmful blunder was ever
committed by theological subtlety
than the setting aside of marriage as
par excellence, the divine institution"
Trained officers to perform the mar
riages in districts and revision of the
matrimonial laws of the country were
suggested by Professor Howard.
Improvement of the present mar
riage customs in the United States
Professor Howard proposes as fol-
lows:
Endowment of motherhood by the
state.
Adjustment of the common law
marriage.
Twenty days public notice before
the issuing of license.
Limiting marriage to those who are
of age.
Of the endowment of motherhood,
Professor Howard says:
Recognizing parentage as a social
service, a social duty which should be
paid for at the public expense, looks
very much like social justice.
"In it's administrative division our
matrimonial laws require drastic re-
vision at almost every point. We need
a better and a uniform license sys-
tenn, so as to secure full publicity and

of the necessities of life. It is the
beginning of love. 1t is the stamp of
devotion. I do not consider you a
gallant in having asked this woman
for kiss and then not taking it.
Il have found through experience
that old women as well as young take
an interest in life. When you asked
this woman for kiss why did you
not pucker up your lips to show your
sincerity at least. For your lack of

The Laird's Pictures.

Some years ago Scotch laird found
on succeeding to his estates that the
house contained two portraits of a dis
tinguished member of the family who
had f1ourished during the reign of
George Ill, one by Reynolds and the
other by Raeburn. He knew no more
of pictures than Newfoundland dog.
and he decided that two portraits of
the same individual need not be kept.
The Reynolds was retained, while the
Raeburn was presented to a public
gallery. The worthy man was struck

at least he had seen that during some
centuries of acceptance it had not
availed to put an end to the horrors of
war. Perhaps the essence of the thing
is better understood today, and yet
he would be an optimistic prophet
who should declare that the era of
unbroken peace had dawned.
The country was recently warned
that its standing army is inadequate
to repel foreign invasion. This was
met by the declaration that the sea is
still the nations impregnable bulwark,
and that while the navy floats no hos
tile nation could land force. What,
can navy and what are it's facilities in
the way of naval base and coal sup
ply in the event of war?
Notwithstanding the greatly increas-
ed cost of naval construction, which
was introduced with the Dreadnought
type, the government has during some
years followed the practice of laying
down two battle ships annually. The
appropriations for the five years end
ing June 3d. 1911, reach 1898, 727, 1861,
as against $131,971,S77 for the proceed
ing tive-y ear period. This program
has placed the American navy in the
second place with total of 152 ships,
carrying 1876 guns and having a dis
placement of 717,702 tons Germany
comes next, with 209 vessels, carrying
100 guns and having tonnage of $685.

wv " AIRS and rumors of war die
WME hard. Even at this late
WSE3 time in the worlds history,
when civilization might be
supposed to have repressed
the primitive lust for blood and plum
der, the alarmist has only to lift his
voice in congress to Danish tranquility
from our bosoms.
Millions are given to promote the
cause of universal peace. Yet the ma
lions of Europe compete with each
other for the privilege of bearing the
heaviest burden in the way of modern
ornaments. England trembles at the
thought of Germany; Germany, with
her rapidly expanding commerce,
leaps to the Dreadnought type of
naval construction and increases her
expenditures to overcome England's
two-power lead. Austria lays down
four first-class battle ships. Russia is
said to be contemplating the expendi-
ture of 100000, 900 on her navy. The
United States is warned that in no
long time Germany will GUST her from
the second place upon the seas. Not
the least important business of peace
would seem to be the preparation for
war.
One is reminded of the ancient Chi
nese sage who was sent to Europe by
his emperor to investigate the merits
of the Christian religion. 1t was
troublous time. The great nations
were locked in death struggle; bat
tie fields ran with blood; violent
schisms sprang up and were sup
pressed with slaughter; the continent
was no better than a huge shambles.
After the sage had looked his fill he
returned to his emperor.
China is too peaceful nation" he
said, ito be adapted to the Christian
faith"
