The trial OF g young man In Virginia,
charged with killing bis wife, has filed the
papers with much that Is unsavOry; and
many think that the publication OF such
testimony has an injurious effect upon
public morals. There is much that could
be said along this line, but We should re-
member that such trials simply uncover,
They turn on the light and light Is health
full. There are CERTAIN social evils, which
are %corrupting the very sources OF life, but
which never come to the surface even Tor
a moment, expert in such revelations as
that which has come In this Virginia trial.
But whether good or evil comes OF these
revelations depends, at last, wholly upon
the moral judgments the community pro-
nounces upon them.
There was one feature In the testimony
of the moteer OF the unfortunate young
wife, which, we think, the public cannot
afford to let pass unnoticed. It points to
an evil about which too little is said; and
about which too little Is known by the pub
lie. This silence and Ignorance would be
excusabIe il the evil lurked only In vile
districts Of the city and did not endanger
the purest OF the most innocent homes.
And the ignorance and silence could be
the better justified il only a few homes en-
dangered. But such is not the case. The
ulSpdGCIlCS WllCl SdNC UuC uCCOuuO VI CaC
testimony Of the heart-brokon mother
simply say: Prosecutor Wendeburg
questioned the woman as to her knowledge
of the domestic life Of the Beauties and
brought to the surface q point intended as
relevant to the alleged motive Of the MUIR
der, namely, that Beattie's physical con-
dition, due to dissipation, had caused much
u%nhappiness to his wife"
In these yelled words reference Is made
to q disease and an evil the extent OF
which, il We are to believe the testimony
OF the whole medical profession, is certain
ly appalling. In conversation with physi.
clans recently we were amazed beyound
all measure to be told that by the very
lowest estimate eighty-fve per cent, OF the
men folk Of this country are or have been
c~ontaminate; and some physicians think
that ninety-five per cent, is nearer the
truth. II the effects of these horrible dis
eases were confined wholly to the guilty
they would be even then too awful to con-
template; but we are dealing with an evil
that can be transmitted In Its loathsome
ness to a mans innocent offspring. Who
can think Of such a thig without a shudder?
But by far the most astounding thing we
learned in our conversation with the ply
%sicians-it Is almost unbelievable that
the profession estimates that about elgh-
ty-five per cent. OF the surgical operations
on the innocent wives Of America has been
caused by this unnamable evil!
And what is being done to protect socie-
ty and the home that Is to be, the young
bride and tho unborn chrildren? The
answer is. nothing, absolutely nothing ir
many States. What can be done? Much
in every way. Above all, the be strtuction
of the double STANDARD. Aut also the State
should refuse to issue a marriage license
to a man who Is less entitled to it than q
rotting leper.

DOMESTIC RELATIONS
COURT DISCUSSED

The need Of q domestic relations
court In Detroit was discussed before
the Social Service club, at its month
1y meeting and dinner, Monday night,
in the iot-Taylor-Woo lfenden cafe,
by Judge Alfred ]. Murphy, Judge
Henry 8. Hubert and Attorney ira
w. jayne. OF the Society for the Pre-
vention Of Cruelty to Children.
Mr.. Jayne outlined bill which he
has prepared to be introduced at the
coming session OF the Legislature, pro-
viding for O domestic relations court.
The bill contemplates the creation OF
o court to investigate cases of divorce,
wife-abandonment, non-support and
the attendant question Of the care OF
the children involved in these cases.
Judge Murphy was of the opinion
that legal obstacles to the court are
more fanciful than real While the
constitution provides that the Juvenile
court shall now have original jurisdic.
ton over certain cases which Il is be-
lieved the domestic relations court
ought to handle, Judge Murphy said
that original" does not mean zen
tire" and he believed these cases
could be passed on to a new court
created by the legislature.
Judge Hubert said that child de.
linquency must increase unless domes.
tic troubles, which are a great cause
Of delinquency, have better attention
from the courts.
