Editorial
of the DAY
FREE LOVE VS.. SOCIAL DUTY.
edith johnson in Oklahoman)


From trial marriage to free love
is not a very wide or deep step.
After being regaled with the trial
marriage experiments of number of
well known writers and musicians in
this country, it is not very. surpris-
ing to read of an unblushing case
of free love, like that Of Miss Lillian
Stowell Mccarthy of Los Angeles and
in the University of California, who
after living together for some months
in Berkeley. have petulantly gone
through "a marriage ceremony in or
der to appease the parents and rela.
tives of the young woman in the
case
These two young people have done
more than offend public decency-
they have defied the laws of the
land. They have said to themselves,
I'VE are superior to any law or any
custom. We will be law unto our.
selves. We will show society whether
or not we will obey its dictates. The
individual and his desires is the court
of last resort, not the law of man
or God
| have heard these free lovers ex.
pound their doctrine and to the un-
thinking or unsophisticated, 1t sounds
very fine. indeed They have a great
deal to say OF the high and sacred
nature Of human passion. and the
impossibility of bringing it under per-
sonal control. Restraint, they argue,
is for the baser emotions, such as
hatred, envy, vengeance and greed.
With the love impulse, there should
be no restraining. Love. they tell
you must be free.
This, my friends, is what they saw.
Now, let me tell you what they mean.
They stand for free love instead OF
marriage because they are too sell
fish to accept the responsibilities of
marriage. They prefer n free union
because 1t can be terminated at any
time without the assistance of the
law. They are strong for free love,
because they are unwilling to support
any of the inconveniences of mar
riage, of home.founding and home.
making. Marriage entails submitting
to the will of another, working striv.
ing TO care for and educate children.
1t means obligation to one another, to
children, TO society the church and
the state. Free love involves obli-
cation to no one. 1t is designed with
the idea of making love something like
a Roman holiday.
Only during u certain marked period

of our existence are we male and

from the cradle TO the grave.
This fact, it seems to me, should
give US an important clue TO the at

lovers only for n part Of our lives
and social beings all the time. We
should be willing to forget the per-

This appears to be hard doctrine

so over-cultured that they are obsessed
with their representative egos. In this
last class are many women. who are
so absorbed with fne.spun theories
