Divorce Question.

Divorce and its related nroblems
properly belong to the civic authori-
ties and not to the ecclesiastical
They are not religious problems any
more than are those of marriage un-
der the provisions of the con,mon law.
Their assumption by the church was
a usurpation without warrant or
justification in right or reason. They
should be turned over to the 'commis-
sion in matrimony' for adjudication.
The scope Of the commissions in
auiry should embrace. besides the
statute causes of divorce. the pro-
priety or impropriety of the parties
seeking separation longer living to-
gether. In other words. to ascertain
whether the best interests of society
and the parties Immediately con-
cerned would or would not be pro-
moted by the abrogation of the bond
matrimonii. If it should appear to
be better for all that the dissatisfied
party should go apart. let him or her
go. in the name of right and reason.
mo considerations for the integrity
of the marriage compact or the sac
ramental character of the institution
of matrimony should possess any
force or meaning. Under such cir
cumstances the sacrament of mar
riage is better subserved by its breach
than by Its observance"

situated in the center of rich coffee

damage done by the rebels is estimated
at high figure. A body of regular
troops left San Luis last night for FL
Caney Del sitio on receipt of the re-
port that the insurgents were march

late. however. to prevent sacking of
the town. but instead pursued and at

Father of Twins, 80 Years Old,
Explains Theories of Eugenics
BELIEVES IN THE UPLlFT OF
RACE THROUGH SCIENTIFIC
MARRIAGE OF INDIylDUALS-
HIS OWN MARRIAGE AN En-
PERTINENT.

Philadelphia. May 24.-Dr David
Allyn Gorton. father of twins at 80.
told at his home in Brooklyn yester-
day his theories Of eugenics and his
ways of keeping young. While he
admits that he hoped for a boy and
got one. the girl is surplus to the
physician. The two were horn on
mighty we'll. They weigh nearly six
and half pounds each. Allyn. the
boy. resembles his father. and the
girl. Leonra, her mother. who was
Miss Bertha Rehbein. the doctors
secretary before her marriage.
DIR. Gorton married his secretary
last July. and the marriage was dis
cussed solely as a romance with no
intimation that science would play n
part. But the physician had a pur-
pose, which he discussed before the
wedding with his secretary. who is
half her husbands years. and this
was to test his theories as to eugenics.
DR.. Gorton wrote to one of his in
innate, friends at the time the twins
were born that he we'll realized what
responsibility 1t was for him to be-
come father at his age. But there
was nothing hasty or i'll considered
about his resolution. he says. On the
other hand. he was actuated by high

1t was his ambition to rear a son VINO
could take up his work where he
must lay 1t down.
II am criticised in certain quar-
ters." says DR.. Gorton. land not with
out excellent reasons. for assuming
SO great task at this time of my
life. Time alone can decide as to
the wisdom or otherwise Of my
course. 1t required no small degree
of courage to carry out my purpose,
but to achieve 1t would sacrifice
of short allowance and penury the
rest Of my days"
The doctor believes in the theory
OF the German scientist. DR.. Eufurt,
that determination Of the sex Of Off

tical. He believes that man can
control the sex Of his children. This

Rather Is he concerned about the,
breeding Of perfect race. and for
this purpose he would have the state
control marriage and eliminate the
unfit and the breeding of the unfit.
1t Is this study that he hopes his son
will take up.
He points to the perfection physi-
cally Of the Spartans. who got rid Of
their unfit by the simple process of
putting the weak and sickly babies
out in the cold to starve. but he says
he isn't in favor Of any such heroic
method. The race. he says. is stiN
in It's infancy. and eventually there
must be scientific mating. But II there
Is genuine love with unfitness for
