is MARRIAGE A FORM OF
SLAVERY?

A notoriety seeking female who
loves to see her name in print has
recently been quoted by the news
papers as advising girls not to mar
ry, because it is slavery. Evidently
she has found out that she can't
break into print unless she says
something startling, and so this is
employed as means of publicity.
But now that the question is re-
ceiving extended newspaper com
ment, there is no use trying to dodge
the issue. Yes! Marriage rs form
of slavery-not only for the wife,
but for the husband as well.
Arthur Brisbane points out that
this is especially true of the female
in auestion-she has been married
twice (which, incidentally, contra
diets her argument), and both times
her husbands have been pitifully
henpecked.
When the marriage obligation is
taken-"in sickness and in health
it binds not only the woman but
the man also. 1t works both ways.
The chief complaint that women are
making against marriage nowadays
is that they can't make careers"
for themselves when married. These
so-called careers" may be any
thing from shaking wicked leg
to posing as patron of the fine
arts.
Marriage creates stern response
bilities that whip people into line of
duty and development of the race.
A single woman meets no objection
if she opens "studio" where she
lounges around in scanty clothing,
smoking cigarettes, drinking cocktails
and entertaining her men friends"
without restraint of ehaperones.
A single man is free to "go on a
toot with the boys or register for
the weekend with female (name
unknown), who passes for the time
being under the hotel register as
"and wife"
But with marriage man and
woman are faced with the plain
necessities of making home and
raising children who shall be lit
tie bit better developed than they
are. The woman can't prance
around with other women's hus-
bands to midnight supper clubs, be-
cause she knows her husband may
strangle her las she deserves to
be-, and plant bullet in the giz-
zard of the other man-as he also
deserves.
The married man can't afford fl
nancially to squander his money on
toots with the boys" and he would
find himself involved in some black
mail plot if he cavorted with the
"and wife" women.
Yosl Marriage is II form of
slavery. And thank God for that
slavery! 1t is developing the human
race by the stern iron of its sys-
TEN. 1t is laying down for us the
standards of conduct that are bound
to bring us nearer the super-man
and woman"

tannery where his parents had

of his soul, and burst into speech

thusiasm, my brave-hearted mother,

do not, in general, bear out the theory
upon which its assignment to this inves-
tigaticn was predicated.
The commission has made various
recommendations for legislation to curb
the activities of the spectators, although
it does not appear, from press SLIM
maries OF the findings as to causes OF
the farmers plight, that such activities
cxcrted determining influence upon
the price Of wheat or other agricultural
commodities. The farmers plight, the
commission reports. is due to various
adverse factors in the general situation
OF the world market, such as large crops
at home and abroad, business depression,
unfayorable exchange rates and limited
purchasing power, rather than to specu-
lation or manipulation
Thus, i'll the last phrase, the commits

ton upon which it was put 10 work.

The commission should not, OF course.
hold brief for the gamblers no one
should, and it would be easy to place
anyone who does. The principal point
for consideration is that this enterprise
of the Federal Trade Commission is but
a repetition OF an old story: From the
political standpoint the farmers have to
be Modified: and as long as the farm
crs believe that their troubles are due
largely to ubiquitous operations of the
spectators, certain government Off
cials feel constrained to conform their
recommendations TO that fiction.
OF course no member OF the Federal
Trade Commission would even hint that
the market problem might be modified
by acceptance of European goods on a
fair basis in exchange for American ag-
ricultural products. They would never
intimate that the United States and
European countries have a problem in
common. To give such a hint or init
nation would be contrary to political
ethics"
SO, Congress may be expected to
go after the spectators again, de-
pending upon the farmers to forget that
such remedies as the Capper-Tincher
law have availed nothing in the form
OF actual benefits to the wheat grow
crs or producers of other agricultural
commodities.

citations concerning the already existing
excess OF legislative restrictions and reg

they, too, are of a general nature, and
