Foreign Government Issues.

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1916-10-07

Almost nothing has been done to
solve the real Mexican problem. There
rs no stable government in Mexico, and
IN view of this fact the conference of
the two commissions now being held
at Atlantic City is farce. If Presi-
dent Wilson's theory that Mexico
should be left to work out its destiny
IN its own way regardless of the rights
OF Americans and other foreigners
resident in that country had been ap-
piled to Cuba IS years ago there is no
doubt that Cuba would be in much the
same condition as Mexico is today. Four
years of intervention in Cuba trans
formed that country from an impover-
lshed, anarchy-ridden land into a high
ly prosperous republic.

MATRIMONIAL OBEDIENCE.

Even the conservative Protestant
Episcopal church seems to be aban-
doning the word "obey' in the mar
riage ritual In a printed report re-
Gently made by a commission of seven
bishops, seven priests and seven lay
men, the commission recommends
changing the word "obcy' to "keep"
in the promise made by the bride to
the bridegroom. $3.50
Feminists may consider this a great
triumph. And yet no tremendous up
hcaval in domestic relations will fol.
low the omission of this word, which
has been more or less of a dead letter
for some time. Theoretically, of
course, it does away with any "head
of the house. Practically, however,
hc-or quite often, she-wiu continue
to run things much as usual.
! In any partnership - business OF
otherwise - some one must take the
lead. Through seniority, wider expe-
rience, training or simply by force of
/ personality, one member OF the firm
wins the right to make the final de-
cision where there is any difference of
opinion. Marriage, in our civilization
] has come more and more to be fine
partnership in which the wife is
granted an equal chance with the hus-
band to use her Judgment There is
no couse for "obeying.' Each member
of this domestic partnership has suf-
1 iicient reverence for the personality
of the other to make rigid command
or unquestioning obedience in ordin-
| airy circumstances both unnecessary
and unthinkable. Difference to the de
cisions or opinions of another is a very
different thing from implicit obedience
! Recognition of woman s intelligence
and ability, of her inherent equality to
man, made the word "obey" meaning
less as part of the marriage vow. 1t is
just as well to drop the empty phrase
from the most sacred and significant
| of our ceremonies.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN7
Sensational Photo Play Will Be Seen
in Auditorium Beginning Oct. 16.

There has not been such great the-
atrical sensation for years as Where Are
Ny Children! the daring photo-plav
which has been playing all summer at
the Majestic theatre, Boston, packing
the house four times a day. An emer-
geney call for police help was sent out
on the opening night to control the
crowds trying to gain admission to the
theatre. On the Fourth of July it was
necessary to give eight performances
from l a. m. to II p. m. to accommo-
date the thousands who wished to see
tins much discussed picture.
There are doubtless ample arguments
for and against the picture. From all
accounts from New York and CHICAGO.
and other large cities where it has been
presented several times daily to packed
houses, it is neither vulgar nor cheap
picture. Competent critics have pro
nounced it dignifed, worthy and i'm
pressive, dealing with tragedy that
should be near the heart of the uni
verse.
Where Are Ny Children? will be pre-
sented at the Auditorium three DAYS
starting Monday, Oct. Is. There will
be two performances each afternoon and
two each evening.
Where Are My Children? is not a
propaganda favoring birth control save
incidentally. 1t emphasizes rather the
tragedy of childless marriages. or bar
rem homes and a lonely and cheerless
old age. 1t puts the selfshness that pre-
verts against the rewards of normal
and righteous living. 1t bids the woman
who refuses motherhood on the plea
that children are responsibility and
care to stand forth and answer the
charges against her.
Where Are My Children? has been
endorsed by DR.. G. M. Parker, Rev.
John }. Hughes, Paulist Superior, Com
missioner of Charities Kingsbury of
New York, Commissioner Dougherty,
John Brisbane Walker, Rev. T. A. DAILY
and others. Also by Rabbi Fleischer
and many other well-known citizens of
Boston.
