fBy Doris Fieishch Imam,

Feninism Is paving the way toward
universal marital happiness. Not the
dissolution OF the home, but the
strengthening of its ties and the con.
drmetion ofsmonogamy will be the re-
suit Of the awakening of womanhood,
declares o leader in ethical thought.
'Happiness In marriage Is merely a
matter Of education, and with the
growing self.respect Of the woman
this education will be attained" says
Horace J. Bridges. leader OF the Chi.
cago Ethical Society.
.Feminism, when 1t has found It.
sell, will remove the greatest sources
Of martial infeliclty. With the econ
omic independence OF woman there
Will be less tend ncy to marry where
there Is no love. The barbarous at.
mosphere OF Sbartering that still lin.
gers poisons the institution. Woman
will not need to marry because OF
economic pressure Is Mr.. Bridges
comforting comm nt.
and after marriage woman should
maintain her economic independence!
Institutions should make 1t possible
Tor her TO work, Dust as In the case Of
the teacher:moth The state should
take care OF the prospective mother,
aiding instead Of hindering her with
barriers. The mother Is doing def.
mite service TO the state, and the state
should look out for her. The mother
should be Subsidized"
This complete independence OF
women. Mr.. Bridge feels is great
factor for successful marriage. When
d woman goes to a man because she
wants him, Instead Of being given by
her father, who has owned her, to her
husband, who now possesses her, as
certain marriage ceremonies interpret
the act, she will be definite entity.
She and her husband respect each
other mutually. It Is a partnership
without commercialism or subservi.
ence.
MI. Bridges, very much in earnest,
spoke pityinglyt Of the ELLEN Key
movement, which advocates the en-.
ancipationI ofswoman and so.called free
love. She and her followers are giddy
with the first breath Of freedom. They
confuse the institution with the evils
that assail It. Marriage has certain
dismal corners. containing chastity
ghosts. But &c Is not marriage that
has placed them there. The fact that
monogamy Is not apractised in Ameri.
can and Europe countries Is a very
poor argument In favor OF sanctioned
polygamy. OF the Mahomentans, to
whom polygamy IS permissible, 95 per
GENT are monogamous."
Moneaamy Is the Natural State.
The survival OF this custom, he
thinks. show the superiority Of It.
And monogamyli Is the natural state.
"When the old prophets came to the
people and said they were inspired
they were not speaking altogether
falsely. They were brilliant thinkers,
with uncommon sense. They saw, that
marriage isfmore than a mere legal
or religious ratification of a union.
Marriage Is the contract OF two souls,
for whom the ceremony is but SYM
Dol Of the true state within. And
when the church said that marriage
Is indissoluble, 1t was correct. Mar.
riage Is the greatest tic on earth. It's
strength is second to none, for even
parenthood Is derived from It."
Divorce Is Wrong.
Divorce is Inherently wrong, says
Mr.. Bridges, but 1t should not be
cured by law. Compulsian never &C.
complishes q reform. "The creation

In Europe several classic turf events,

always scheduled for Sunday. Ring
records show that few bouts of i'm.
portance have been held abroad on
Sunday and American calculations
show an equal scarcity in this respect.
Where they have been held on Sun

co-Prussian war of 1901 passed
away here recently in the person of
Wilhelm Koers, the standard-bearer
of the 1st Battalion Of the First
Guards Regiment. When the first
Emperor William was proclaimed in
the Mirror Hall of Versailles Palace
in 1871 Koers held over his monarchs s
head the flag of his regiment. Koers
who had reached his list year just be-
fore his death, was custodian Of the
Royal Palace at Potsdam. In the lat

sleAMlsT is BONDED.

Jackson, Mss, Feb. 26.-S. A. Brown,
alleged bigamist, who was married to
Minnie Dixon, In this city some days
ago at almost he same time that IN
Meridian a baby boy was being born
to him, was released from the county
Jail last night after his wife had vis-
tied the sheriffs office and made his
bond.
Neat, attractive, evidently woman
of refinement Mrs. Brown made quite
an impression on those who met her.
With her was her baby boy, probably
month old. 1t was rather an AFFECT
ing scene when in the jail she laid in
her husbands arms her first born.
And Brown-tears welled in his
eyes as he brushed the infants lips
with his and for the first time held his
son to his heart.
The love of woman passes all un-
derstanding. Brown and his wife quar-
relied some months ago and he came
to Jackson. Family troubles evidently
ANNOYED him, and he is said to have
drunk more than was good for him.
He met and married Minnie Dixon
| A day or two later he returned to Me-
ridian and confessed his guilt to the
woman, who Of all the women he has
known or will know, loves him best
| his mother. 1t was her behest that he
pay the price of his sin, and Brown
returned to Jackson and was arrested
at the request of Miss Dixon.
When Brown was arrested here his
wife was confined to her bed and for
some days was kept In ignorance of
her husbands troubles. 1t is said that
once she learned the facts she busted
herself to secure his release, and last
night her eyes spoke volumes as the
jail doors closed behind him, though
she must have known that il the law
demands It's pound of flesh" he must
pay the penalty of his misdeeds by
further Imprisonment.
| Days ago Brown declared himself
penitent, vowed that If he should get
out of this tangle with the law he
would return to his wife and endeavor
to make reparation for the great
wrong he had done her.

known in Jackson, and on{ll19 bf his
