RRYcE,s OPINION.

a high tribute to the National Mu.
nicipal League, as an agency for the
promotion OF municipal progress,
comes from Ambassador Bryce. No
man is mere familiar with the Ameri-
can situation than the British am
bassador. who has devoted years to a
study OF conditions here and has writ
ten SO intelIigently and interestingly
about them.
Ambassador Bryces appreciation of
the National Municipal Leagues work
In dealing with the many problems
of the American community, is ex-
pressed in a letter received by the
secretary, Clinton Rogers Woodruff. It
is given in its entirety:
1.-THE problems of municipal govern
ment in this country are among the
most difficult with which its people
have to deal, having regard to the ex-
tremely rapid growth of the cities and
to the enormous influx into them of
immigrants, many Of whom do not
know the language or understand the
institutions of the country.
There is, therefore, no field of in
quiry in which exact knowledge of
the facts and scientific treatment Of
existing difficulties are more needed
than in that of municipal administra-
ton, and I venture to believe that the
work Of the National Municipal
League, and the service rendered by
the National Municipal Review, as its
organ, may be very great.
so much experience is already
accommodating in all quarters with re-
gard to the forms and working of
municipal institutions, and the best
methods Of dealing with problems in
cldent to vast populations crowded

citizens, unless in the matter OF bet
ter enforcement, and as the laws We're
made to be enforced there can be no
logical objection to this In the fight
to secure this legislation it was plain
~ shown that the better sentiment in
those states which now allow spring
shooting, and the slaughter OF song
birds, is decidedly against these prac-
tees. and it was made evident that
all real sportsmen and all thinking
people will welcome federal action TO
pu. stop to them where it has been
impossible to secure state action. Be-
sides gratifying such people, the new
measure will remedy great injus-
tice which is at present suffered by
sportsmen in states which have ade-
auate game laws through the fact
that gunners In neighboring safes
have greater opportunities to shoot
and. therefore, get more than their
rightful share of birds.
The details connected with the en-
forcement of the Weeks-McLean law
are vet to be perfected, but the state
authorities Will probably take the
most active part In making IT effec-
tive. as in the case Of the Lacey act.
The latter lis federal statute which
prohibits traffic 10 game under the
interstate commerce clause, in states
where 1t is unlawful to sell 1t. When
this act was under discussion its adj
yersaries maintained that large and
eypengiye force would be necessary to
make It effective. but experience has
proyed tina. very small appropria-
ton was needed as the local wardens
were glad to enforce 1t. The same
will be true Of the legislation just
passed. The appropriation of $4,000
which It carried will prove sufficient
for immediate needs. and considering
tho importance Of the law and the
importance Of the law and The money
II Will save the country there Is no
doubt that congress will increase the
appropriation when necessary.
Resides the one already mention
ed. another amendment was made
,ust before the bill became a law.
This was to satisfy constitutional OBJ,
iections, and 1t provides that the I'M
opsition OF fines or imprisonment for
violation Of the act shall be IN the
discretion Of the court instead OF the
department OF agriculture. In this
connection IT ia gratifying to note
that one of til most able lawyers IN
the country expressed the opinion
that the supreme court would sustain

For many years there has been
more or less rebellious protest against
that little word "obey" in the marriage
service, and every once In while
some one comes along who takes her
promises seriously and who feels I'M
willing to go through a form of words
to which she cannot subscribe in
spirit.
And now it seems that the arch
bishop of Canterbury objected to the
announcement that at an approaching
marriage in English society the BRIDE
was willing TO promise to love and
honor It'll death us do part but
would not consent to obey; and he is
quoted as saving that the omission. of
the word would make the ceremony
Illegal.
Apart from the church end of it
and without any desire to attack a
ceremony which for ages has borne
the stamp Of its approval, it really
seems time that the institution of mar
rage should deal with the realities of
life as we ind them
And the realities Of life today hard

word obey any more than the. do

Why should a woman render obed-
fence to anyone?
Why should man surrender all
claim to his worldly goods? ''
And the unreasoning feature of it
is that the wife renders obedience nc
more than the husband give up his all
on his wedding day.
There was time In the history OF
men and women when wife, in point
of law, was little more than a chat
tel, and while the word obey was as
homogeneous and unloyely then in its
application to husband and wife as
it is today, there was background of
reality
But in our times, a marriage that
fulflls its promise Of happiness must
keep all notions of superiority beau
ltifully subdued before the more hope
full reign Of equality.
And, though 1t may be regarded as
nothing but a shadow and the shadow
happens to offend the sense of the
eternal fitness of things as some folk
see it, why not make the marriage Ger
emory in harmony with the spirit OF
today?
Do you realize the difference be
tween a home where the wife ane

as living on exactly the same plane

note that 1t is father who comes
first, he who decides, he who controls
by an attitude of supremacy? For
there are still some homes where the
spirit of the word obey still fingers,
and they are not the ideal homes, not
the homes from which the broadcast
types OF men and women emerge.
For it is only as women are clear
seeing, free In thought, intellectual
and conscious OF their own worth that
they can carry their boys and girls
along with them to point where
they look to womanhood as typifying
something big, true and worth while,
just as they do to manhood.

That is why statute books are being

loving folk are asking for the repeal

Doubtless it is more or less a dead
letter, but why should any state in
our great country still carry along a
law permitting a man to control his
wife's earnings2 1t is contrary to the
sentiment that alone makes marriage
a beautiful institution and should be
relegased to dead. an outlived past.
