quently assailed. I do not believe
that moral conditions IN this state
are worse than elsewhere. This Is
matter Of opinion based upon a
general knowledge OF conditions
Throughout the state.
The charge has been made that
owing 70 our rigid anti-divorce laws
there is a greater amount Of con-
cubinage IN this state than In any
other southern state. In the absence
OF any evidence in support OF this
statement. have always felt that
the prejudice in the case was father
to the thought
Sepa ration Allowed.
Our state makes proper provision
for a legal separation Of a man from
his wife or OF a wife from her hus-
band. II for any reason 1t is no
longer desirable or possible for them
to live together.
In the case Of a brutal, cruel. and
dissolute husband. the state viii
give the wife legal separation from
her husband and will also compel
him to support his wife and chill
dren.
This is as II should be. The
trouble IS that most people who are
seeking divorce are not satisfied
with a legal separation. The under
lying purpose OF 1t all is too often
the intention Of marrying again as
soon as the divorce has been granted.

DUNSANY TO PROVE
WORTH OF POETRY
Will Undertake Lecture Tour
to Convince People of
Poets Products.

LONDON, Dec. s1.-Lord Duns-
any, author. poet, dramatist and
soldier. chief hater OF shams and
all materialism. is about to under
take a lecture tour to convince
people Of the real value Of poetry.
1T seems perfectly obvious to
me-" he says, that poetry is OF
some use.
Man may prefer many more ma
terial things, but really poetry Is no
more silly than a new automobile.
1T has its place among the needs
OF humanity. and If a man neglects
to recognize II then he Will be little
better off than one who does not
know that he requires a thick coat
on a cold day.
THAT Is how regard poetry. as
something that every man needs,
and this Is my argument. It is what
a man does, not what he says, that
matters.
The human feelings are the one
possession common to all They
are the common denominator Of the
human race. and therefore, OF all
material that people can possibly
care to read about and, surely. they
should be the most interesting.
Derived From Emotions.
And the human feelings are the
raw material OF poetry.
Poetry IS actually made out OF
whatever emotions may have been
most profoundly stirred In the
hearts Of men, women and children
in any period on which the poet
may have been able to lay his hands.
Poetry is made Of our 'nnermost
feelings, and they are nearer to US
than our boots, our clothing. our
cash. or anything that our cash can
buy
Man may prefer many material
things to poetry. and yet the value
Of all these material things, apart
from the obvious necessities Of life,
is the pleasure TO be derived from
them.
Poetry Is concerned mainly with
the delight that people get from all
manner Of objects. so that It is more
valuable to a man than the most
material things. because II is direct
~ concerned with his pleasure.
Money. al the best. will only bring
It TO him indirectly.
What's the darned use OF
poetry is the question people ask
me. Well, have been trying to
give the answer"

Bishop OF South Carolina, Episco-
palian Church.


CHARLESTON. S. C..-The startl-
ing statement that one-twentieth Of
all marriages in the United States
end In divorce Is OF itself sufficient
10 arouse every earnest man and
woman 20 the seriousness OF the sit
uation that confronts US.
Upon the integrity and purity Of
the American home depends the
whole superstructure OF our ma
uonal life.
Where the home is undermined
and destroyed and children cast
adrift by a selfish and self-centered
indtvidualism. there is an end OF
all social and moral restraint.
To combat the growing evil OF d.
vorce IN this country, a group OF
philosophical men and women have
been trying to get through congress
e uniform divorce law.
What is known as the Edmonds
Bill aims to accomplish this end.
The purpose OF this bill is TO limit
the grounds OF divorce.
Stiff Fight Looms.
One difficulty in the way OF q
widespread publicity and agitation
In favor OF more stringent divorce
laws grows out OF the fact that the
divorce evil has become universal.
Many a voice has been silenced
which today would be raised In pro-
test against this growing evil but
for the fact that some member OF
his immediate family or some near
relative has Joined the ranks Of the
divorced.
Because South Carolina has no
divorce law. the moral standards and
