ALSO UPHELD FROM PULPIT

Cupid who for yeares had been i'm
plicated in elopments and secret mar
riages, as well as the other and less
romantic culminations of love affairs
public weddings, will have to put
away the former and deal in only the
latter if law backed by the Idaho
Mothers circle passes at this session
of the legislature. Not only does
the proposed law do away with hasty
marriages-15 days must elapse
after the license is applied for be-
fore it can be secured-but it provid-
es that during this Is days the names
of the persons desirous of being mat
ed must be published in the papers
at least twice.
The proposed law has been drawn
up by G. F. Koelsch, member of the
legislature, and will be presented
early in the session. In November,
after reading a newspaper article
which said that the state Mothers
club was in favor of law regulating
marriages, Judge Koelsch wrote a
letter to Mrs. E. d. Nichols, state
president of the Mothers circle, in
which he declared himself heartily
in favor of sucl. of move. Upon re-
ceipt of his letter the club requested
him to draw up such bill and pre-
sent it. This the judge agreed to do.
Marriage Difficult.
The new law is divided into four
principal parts, all tending to make
marriage more difficult than at pres
ent. By this it is hoped the divorce
evil may be minimized No common
law weddings will be permitted, as all
marriages must be solemnized and a
license secured. Under the present
law contract or common law mar
riages are legal. The second clause
provides that Is days must elapse
between the time of application and
granting of a license, and the appli-
