Chief Justice Olson, of the

with suggestion for the appoint
ment of public defender in the

defendants in the courts too poor
to pay for counsel, and at the
same time protect them from at
torneys who accept fees from
prisoners and then pay no more
attention to the cases. He recon-
mends that the office be modelled
after that of the prosecuting at
torney.
The action of Judge Olson

IS THE FAMILY
LIFE TO Be
DISCARDED
PROFESSOR THINKS IT WILL
Divorces Tending to Bring
About a New Social State

Boston, Feb. 6.-Much discussion has
been evoked by the statement of Pro-
fessor Peabody, of Harvard, that di-
vorce increase is endangering the ma
ton.
Both Cardinal Gibbons and Cardinal
Farley see in divorce also an evil to
be fought against
Professor Peabody asserts among
other things that the family has our
grown its usefulness, and that social
ties are getting to be more and more
like those of the Stone Age. Then he
says:
UNLESS the present rate of divorce
is stopped more families will in few
generations be broken up by divorce
than by death.
One thing is certain. The family
is rapidly becoming disorganized aud
disintegrated. families do not hold
together so we'll as they used to be
cause there is less to hold them t.
gether.
This breakup of the family sys
tenn means what may be termed re
version of type, a going back to con-
ditions of primitive civilization from
which the human race emerged.
The Breakup of The Family.
"The breakup of the family is seen
everywhere. Divorces are being
granted in this country at an ever-i l.
creasing rate. Divorce does not ap-
pear to be the result of Strengthened
circumstances For although divorce
increases in times of financial depree
sion. it does not decrease proportion
ally in times of prosperity
1.-The social problem of the family &
not comDrehended by practical consid-
GRAFTON of domestic duty" he says. at
is not question of behavior within
the domestic group. but question Of
the continued existence of this form
of social relation.
"The conference and permanence of
! family life are today seriously threat
ened. Domestic instability tends in
most startling manner to become an
| epidemic social disease. The number
| of divorces granted in this country is
| increasing.
at may be computed that if the
| present ratio of increase in population
and in separation be maintained, the
number of separations of marriage by
death would at the end of the twen>
tieth century be less than the num-
her of separations by divorce.
The issue at stake in a consider
alton of domestic integrity is much
larger than at first appears. 1t is
rothing less than an issue hetWccr
two theories of the marriage tie-th'
conceptiI of it as a temporary con
tract involving the interests of those
who are known as the parties concern
ed; the conception of it as a socia
institution, involving the fabric of he
social order.
The DtSi,c TO Transmit Proper. v.
What originally consolidated :ht
domestic ,roup was the desire tx
