THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY
It's Complete Reconstruction Is Urged
by a Correspondent.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. In this age of reform there IL
nothing needs reforming so urgently as
does the marriage ceremony. wherein It
makes "a prctension by inference that the
official performing the ceremony is God.
II brings the God that is worshipped
within the realms OF money making.
wherein it states admonshingly that
whom God has joined together let no
man put asunder"
Did God perform the ceremony? Or is
II by Inference that the official who per-
formed the ceremony represented God?
The language certainly implies one or The
other proposition.
Among Christians the ceremony is GER
tainly civil contract. because the courts
OF law are the only designated authority
In the United States empowered TO grant
an annulment. separation or divorce.
1t being different In the Hebrew life I'm
the old country. where the rabbi is au-
thorizcd to grant divorces among Ills
congregation. the absurdity of the adj
monltion is even more preposterous, he

by the same power that anoints him with
authority to marry others 10 grant n
divorce.
Perhaps the rabbi Is a dual authority
and person. He may perform the cere-
mony AS God and grant divorce as
man. At all events he utters the same
admonition at the end OF the marriage
ceremony. and yet may be found later
separating the same couple.
In Spain the ecclesiastical marriage
ceremony is not recognized by the courts
of law; hence. where property rights may
be involved the ceremony must be per-
formed by the civil authorities.
The absurdity OF the rabbi. priest min
lister. judge. alderman or esquire closing
the ceremony with that trite admontion,
Whom God has Joined together let no
man put asunder." Is too obvious to need
simplifying. 1t goes without saying that
he was not God hence the absurdity of
the admonition. to say naught of the In
fcrential falsity OF 1t.
That an official priest or minister
said admonition and receive "A fee for his
services puts ridicule upon the admoni-
ton In its pretension that the ceremony
was the work OF God. Certainly God
does not receive the sheckels, nor is the
ceremony even performed In his name.

The Murphy Committee of l07.

Most Of the complaints made about the COMPOSE
ton of the fusion city and county tickets II they 40
rot reflect merely personal disappointments, are
based on the theory that the Committee Of 107 was
not representative enough. Yet it composed in
fairly equal proportions of men capable OF speaking
for the rank and file of the Republican, Progressive
independent Democratic and Independent groups
which must he taken into account in any broad
gagged anti-Tammany fusion. Each group had It's
say. and the nominations made-putting aside the
personal disgruntlements and the unreasonable
claims of thick-and-t thin organization partisans-
may be counted upon unite the fusion opposition
more firmly than any which Tammany has had to
face in many years
If anybody is disposed to be dissatisfied with the
somewhat arbitrary agency through which the
fusion nominations made, let him think of the
method by which the Tammany city and county
tickets are now being incubated Is there Tam
many Committee of 1O7 or even Tammany Com
mittee of Z? What pretence is being made of con-
sutng the wishes Of the voters who are to be asked
to support the men whose names Murphy is about

they are aggrieved at the method by which the

MISGUIDED Business Ethics.

According to stories told to the District Attorney
and repeated to the grand jury the of horse
posonings on the East side in the last two three
years have been due to keen business competition

a rival was cutting into its territory, would hire
some thug to poison couple of the rivals horses
This was usually sufficient to prove to the upstart
that business conditions in that vicinity weren't pro-
pitiouS. If ii wasn't, il could be repeated.
In this the East Side was only following illus
triouS examples as to business ethics. 1t had the
precedent of raids small concerns which end with
the absorption Of the battered weaklingS by their
bigger competitors 1t had the precedent Of Il manu-
featuring concern which, according to testimony in
subsequent investigation maintained private
graveyard of its competitors to exhibit 10 pos
sible future rivals. 1t made the mistake of bcliey-
ing that what has sometimes gone in big business
would prove equally profitable on the East Side but

Four Governors.

While New Yorks two Governors are Squabblins
over their Job. the Governors of Missouri and
Kansas are boosting the good roads movement with
their own hands. They have turned out with sew
era hundred thousand fellow citizens and are pro
ceeding to lick the roads of their states into better
shape-with picks and spades and scrapers.
We like the whole idea. With our highly organ

can go in two days. Why not aid and stimulate

A Lawton Monument and Its Inscription.

The astounding character Of the nomination Of a
philippine Governor General which has just been
made gives peculiar appropriateness to the proposal
for the erection at Arlington of a monument to the
memory of General Henry W. Lawton.
We would suggest that-"lest forget there
be conspicuously inscribed upon that monument a
passage from the hero's own words. prophetically
written not long before his DEATH to the effect that
If he should fall upon the field of duty and Of honor
it would be under q bullet inspired and potentially
directed by those Americans at home who, through
either ignorance or malice, were melting and en-
couraging Filipino resistance to lawful government.
That inscription would be apt to the present oc-
casion and it would in addition be everlastingly
true.

Tight Skirts and Accidents.

The Pennsylvania Railroad is exhibiting lot OF
misguided zeal in its collection of statistics about
the number Of accidents caused TO women by reason
Of wearing tight skirts and high heels. II can prove
from now until doomsday that hobbed women trip
on car steps and break their legs catch their ex-
aggerated heels station stairs for ordinary
plain heels, and fall all the way down. That won't
change affairs.
An average woman would rather be hurt than be
out Of style any day. They are the stuff of which
martyrs are made, and it needs only stroll along
any popular street in the afternoon to prove that
hundreds of them are willing to martyrize them
selves in the sacred cause of fashion If il hopes
to reduce the number Of accidents the corporation
should its funds in accelcrating a change Of
styles in skirts and heels. Otherwise it can only
continue to plead cOntribuOry negligence in answer
