The Modem Marriage
Is 1t Divine or Human? A Contract or an Agree
ment? The Cause of Divorce.

scent Of cloves on the breath OF a late
coming husband.
Divorce has come to be more than an
evil. It is a plague.
Statistics show an appalling condition
Twenty eight wives in one hundred
divorces have lost their wifely honor
and have gone astray The modern ex-
pressions soul mate" and affinity
have disguised a long suffering public
and have degenerated to become syno-
nyms Of passion, infatuation and animal
desire
The sages are working on the prob
lem as to which sex is at fault, the male
or the female-the husband or his wife.
When the Divine Molder was fash
ioning his clay after thought. his SUI
preme effort was woman. She was a
bit Of the best clay from mans side tina,
lay close to his heart. It is the shame
Of her sex that she should stoop TO con-
quer. There are too many women who
bank on the natural respect man has
for her sex to impose upon him to "dou-
BILE cross" him.
The double cross" is the commonest
monument in the cemetery Of domestic
infelcity Of domestic infelicity and
marks many a matrimonial grave.
A Civil Contract.
Marriage is, besides being a divine in
stltution. a civil contract in which the
party Of the first part and the party OF
the second part promise and agree to do
certain specified things and to refrain
from doing certain other things which
are reasonable in a contract. whim or
fancy is not release. and the only dis
solution is through the door Of legal
process.

Yet the first couple I married were di-
vorced within year Each was tenn

The divorce court seemed the only So
luton to their woes
Right thinking people deplore that the
divorce court is a necessity-its good is
mixed with a great deal Of harm II is
too often sought and too lightly held.
Like poison, it should be taken advisedly
and in minutest quantities

the strict stand Of the church and clergy

(IVH THOM God hath Joined togeth-
wv er let no man put asunder."
In the last twenty years
more than ONE MIL
LION divorces have been granted in this
country alone. An average of FIFTY
THOUSAND each year. Seventy three
divorces for every hundred thousand
people To have and to hold till death
do us part"
Two women to one man of these fifty
thousand break this vow. The man prin-
cipally charges adultery. The woman
rests hers on cruelty. Desertion is the
common ground. Numberless reasons
are given by these unhappy people, and
they catch at a reason as a drowning
man grasps at a straw.
Temperamental incompatibility would
tell the story. Two hearts that are sup
posed to beat as one "jangle like sweet
bells out of tune"
There is no law on earth, there are
no words of magistrate or minister,
priest or prelate, which can compel a
man to love his wife or to enjoy her
society.
Neither is there legal force that can
make woman respect her husband or
find pleasure in his presence It is the
shame of manhood that it is possible to
become a bride
In modern marriage all the primitive
traits of the cave-men period appear.
Aeon upon aeon Of evolution, age upon
age of cultivation. and even the soften
ing influence Of Christianity have failed
to eliminate the brute in the male, or
the feline in the female. In a wild pas
sion Of anger modern man, like his cave
ancestor, handles his spouse.
The passions of rage, jealousy. sus-
picion, temper and violence burst like
pillows over the rocks of civilization and
culture. and the man, clad in modern
raiment, is the brother to the uncouth
savage clothed in skins.

SENATE WON'T CONFIRM
NOMINATION OF RILEY
Determined Not to Let Suffers
Appointee Be Superintendent
of State Prisons.
by Telegraph to The Tribune

Albany April 3.--Present indications
are that the Senate Finance Committee
will not report the nomination OF Judge
John e. Riley. whom Governor Sulzer APP
pointed as Superintendent Of Prisons to
succeed Colonel Joseph +. Scott If the
committee does report the nomination It
is almost certain to be adversely. In that
case the committee would be sustained by
the Senate, which would reject the nom
inatiOn.
If the Senate rejects the Riley nomina-
ton the way will be open for another APP
pointment There has been much discus
sion recently of Robert w. Hebberd. who
was secretary Of the State Board OF Chaii-
ties. for that place. There seems to be
something at least semi-oflicial IN this.
for il is said MI IIebberd was recently
ask ID il he would accept the place II II
came to him. He replied that he would.
Thereupon the story runs, he was asked
if he would appoint Charles +. Rattgan.

lv that if he took the job he would take

vestigators. is To land the $1,000 job as
head Of the Department OF Efficiency and
Economy. which the Legislature recent
" created Delaney. though he lives in
Brooklyn. is straight Tammany man.
lie is considered one of the men closest
to Murphy who are not actually COM
ponent part Of the Tammany political ma
chine. He IL commonly supposed to have
been Murphys agent in the Democratic
fight against Senator McCarrcn several
wears ago when the Tiger was trying TO
cross the Bridge.
Delaney's friends are much elated over
this prospective appointment, which they
are discussing as thing already settled.
On the other hand. anti-Tammany Demo-
Gratis who have been hoping against hope
that the Governor would go with them, are
regarding Il as proof positive Of the pa
tronage deal between Murphy and Sulzer
worked out recently by Senator O'Gor-
man.
The ant-Tammany Democrats are also
much worried about stories that John y.
Carlisle is not TO land his much-desired
$4,000 place on the upstate Public Service
Commission. This was considered settled.
Carlisle was agreed to by Tammany in
consideration that the Governor was t.
appoint the state chairman, George NJ.
Palmer. TO the other vacancy IN the
commission. Now the story Is that Palm

to be sent in soon. but that Carlsle's ap-
pointment is not TO be made then.

ASKS SULzER TO RETRACT
LackaWanna Road Resents His
Corning Accident Comment.

The following letter, addressed to Gov
ernor Sulzer. was given out at the offices
Of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad Company in this city yester-
day:
His Excellenoy. william Sulzcr, Governor
OF the State OF New York, Albany,
Dear Sir: We observe in this morning 5
papers your statement in explanation OF
YOUR action in approving the full crew
bill in which YOU. in effect, say that II
It's requirements had been in force az the
time OF the accident AT Corning y. Y,
in July last this very serious and dis-
tressing accident would not have oc-
Cured.
In making such statement your excel
lency was certainly not familiar with the
facts developed in the investigation 81
this case by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Public Service Com
mission Of the I'd District of the State or
New York, as set forth i'm the reports of
these two commissions thereon.
IL your excelency Will examine, or
cause TO be examined, the reports referred
10. YOU will find that there is not sug-
gcstion in either of them that the acci-
dent in question was due 10 any OF the
trains involved not being manned by a
sufficient number of either trdinmcn or
other employees In both OF these reports
the blame was laid squarely and solely
upon an engineer, whose condition was
not what il should have been Wncll ne
went on duty and whose neglect caused
the accident.
This engineer was indicted Tor criminal
neglect. but was not tried. as we are III
formed, because of some political bargain
between his friends and the prosecutihS
officials Of the county in which the acci-
dent occurred We have appealed 10
every official who We thought might nave
any influence. or whose duties were sucn
as might lead him TO correct this serious
maladministration OF justice. but all to no
purpose. 49,.
In Justice TO this company ia particu.
lar. and To the railways of the state OF
New York in general, we respectfully ask
your eXcellency to examine the reports
of this Corning accident, above referred
TO. and finding the facts different from
what YOU claim. that YOU publcly cor
rect your statement that II was que 20
the trains involved being insufhclently
manned. .
Without question the full crew law IL
the most uniustihabe legislation That mas
Vet been enacted for the alleged reSula-
ton OF the railways of the country; out
the management Of this company feels
particularly outraged that is enactment
should be justified as your eXcellency I'M
dertakes TO do. through a msunderstand-
ing of the actual causes Of our Corning
accident. Respectfully yours,
