The New Custodian Of Morals

For several years the States Of New

their legal systems such relief and
compensation as may be possible for
married persons whose domestic happi-
ness has been destroyed by others. The

made at considerable expense to the
taxpayers. Nobody has had the au-

has been produced by their operation

led affection or wanton passion.
