PARLIAMENT OF
SOUTH IRELAND
RATIFIES PACT
De Valera and Followers Boy
colt Approving Ses-
sion.
GRIFFITH EXPLAINS

DUBLIN, Jan. 1.-THE southern Ire
land parliament today ratified the Irish
peace treaty. Eamonn de Valera, former
president of the Irish republic" and
his followers boycotted the meeting.
The southern parliament created a pro-
visional government to administer the at
fairs of all Ireland except Ulster province
until the British parliament at London
enacts a law officially creating the Irish
Free State.
The temporary provisional government
or Administrative commission includes
Michael Collins, minister Of finance in the
Sim Fein cabinet, and chief leader of
the Irish Republican army; Alderman
Cosgrave, e. J. Duggan, formerly chief
liaison officer Of the Irish Republican
army; Patrick Hogan. Fionan Lynch,
Joseph McGrath, Kelvin OHiggins and
John MacNeill, chairman Of the DAN
Eireann.
GRIFFITHOFFERS
EXPLANATION.
Griffith explained that the provisional
government would execute the terms Of
the Anglo fish treaty but that the Dali
would rerY IN existence until 4 gen
eraI eIectio1 IS held. He appeals to
every good Irishman" to support the
new regime, saying:
The provisional government will re-
gard no distinction in Irishmen. It's
policy will be fair play all round ard
for all factions. Let US Danish our
old differences. New differences will
arise, Of course, but only between Irish
owning one status"
Griffith assured the members Of the
southern parliament that amnesty Will
be extended 10 all imprisoned Irishmen
Before the meeting opened It was re-
ported that, for diplomatic reasons, Ar
thur Griffith, founder Of the Sim Fein,
would not seek q place upon the com
mission and that MacNeill would be pro-
posed as its head.
LIFE LIKELY
TO BE BRIEF.
It is likely the life Of the government
will not extend over three weeks. As
soon as the Westminster parliament con-
venes Jan. 81, steps win be taken to
bring the Irish Freee State into being az
rapidly as possible.
The ratification Of the Irish treaty by
the southern parliament was more or
less q Formally. Its fate was decided
by the Dali Eireann a week ago when
the pact was ratified by a majority Of
seven votes. 1t had been stipulated in
the British Irish treaty, however, that
the parliament meet to approve the pact
IN order to confirm the validity Of the
law which had created the parliament.
Little time was lost in discussion Of
the treaty. The followers of the Col
Inns Griffith faction IN the Sim Fein had
things all their own way.

Nevertheless, 1t is within the right
OF anybody to follow the Judge in
making a plain statement, without
bias, Of what the petitioner viii have
to prove In order to win, and what
will be the result II he succeeds In
proving It. ..
He will have to prove that he lied

truth. and in lying was accessory to
perjury; that his wife also lied and
procured other persons to commit
perjury, and that the two witnesses
to their marriage lied and did ac-
tually commit perjury.
OF Great Importance.
The immediate result of this proof
will be that he, his wife and his wit
nessess will be liable to prosecution
under the criminal law, perhaps TO
imprisonment; and the ultimate re-
suit will be that the woman who
lived openly with him as his wife
will be stamped as his mistress. and
the children she bore to him wii. be
branded as illegitimate.

the merits Of this particular case, but

of the law on which it casts a lurid

That question is Of the greatest
importance in all countries and al
all times, for 1t involves the principle
on which the whole fabric Of civilized
society rests.
From the time Of the Roman jurist'
down to our own day marriage has
been variously defined by various
writers.
It has been defined as an act, a,
a state, as a contract, as a sacrament
as a religious bond, as a status, az
