Equality at the Altar
(From tho New York Tribune.)

the Committee OF Revision OF the
Episcopal Book of Common Prayer
No law that cannot be enforced is a
wise law. This particular law not
only is unenforceable. but no effec-
tive penalty can be provided for its
violation.
1t is also suggested by the COM
mittee that the announcement by
the bridegroom with all my world
ly goods thee endow" might as well
be dispensed with. The bridegroom
never does endow the bride with all
his worldly goods, and no court in
the land would back up her claim to
his entire property II It were based
only on that assertion.
with these two amendments the
marriage ceremony as set down in
the Book OF Common Prayer will
meet the needs Of the most modern
OF brides. Inasmuch as equality in
the household was well established
for years before equality at the polls
was taken seriously. it is just as
well to admit 1t frankly at the altar.

Scrupping Fiat Moneys
(From the New York Tribune).

The nearer the date OF the Genoa
conference approaches the palmer
II Is that the political parts OF the
program and the parts that relate
to international credits are barren.
In Russia political reorganization
must precede economic regenera-
ton. The Bolshevist system. which
has sti1ed production, and thus
made trade impossible. must be
ended and give way to a system
better for both. for proletariat and
peasants. The Genoa conference
with respect to Russia may thus
occupy itself with political matters.
Likewise, political action tending to
persuade Germany that her scheme
OF landing the cost OF meeting her
reparation obligations on France
and Belgium. etc. has definitely
tizzled Is necessary. While Germany
chief industry is debt-dodging she
will anguish. She must be made
to realize she can advance her well
fare by working more and complain
ing less. But except as to Russia
and Germany international politics
may well be kept in the background.

Under present conditions there Is
no such thing as a real exchange

to bet on the future gold prices Of

Imagine debtor asked to pay "a

first economic business OF Europe
is currency defation. and the next
is to establish reserves that will
keep the currency outstanding at
its specified level. To do this It is
not necessary to call in the present
money issues. 1t is enough to fix
redemption prices.

In general the brides nuptial
promise to obey is more honored in
the breach than in the observance.
Doubtless most brides mean It when
they repeat It after the clergymen.
Young love holds fast to illusion
even TO the illusion OF masculine in
fallibllity.
But marriage, to remain a going
concern, must become a partnership
with decided duties and divided
responsibilities. The husband dis
covers presently that his mandates
about feminine raiment and the
rearing Of children are not always
rigidly respected. At first he blus-
ters about this or secretly worries
over it; but he soon finds out that
the easiest way TO happiness is to
"let It go as It lays" Which is the
beginning Of conjugal wisdom.
1t is not surprising, Therefore,

riage ceremony has been offered by
