Stupidity in
Legal Make
on Marriage
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Reno, they say, having been the
mecca for those wanting divorces,
is now a turncoat and has become
the city of hasty weddings.
California has a new marriage
law, populaly called the "anti-gin
marriage measure" making it COM
pulsory for persons wanting to mar
ry to give three days notice, filed
and printed, of their intention. So
Californians are clipping to Nevada
to escape this trouble.
Our senseless way Of doing things
is perfectly exemplified in this con-
dition. You can be legally married
in one State and an adulterer in an
other. You can be a divorce in one
State and married woman in an
othe. just travel over the country
and somewhere you can find law
that suits you.
There are many who believe that
we should put down all bars when it
comes to getting married. Marriage,
they say, is after all merely a legal
contract and should not be taken
seriously. But even legal contracts
have to go through some form be-
fore they are made. Men who go
into business partnerships under the
law must notify the public of their
alliance and intentions. Shall we
enter marriage more carelessly?
Even though it is not, marriage
should be something more than a
legal contract. The foundation OF
society, the protection of the home,
the maker or destroyer of unborn
children, it cannot reasonably be re-

garded as something of no conse-

garded as something of no conse-
quence.
Make divorce easier, is the cry,
That may be all right, although it
is question that can be argued the
other way, but certainly we should
make marriage little harder.
Something so easily attained is
bound to be held in disrespect. Make
it more difficult to get married and
people will be likely to stay married
longer.
And what a cynical name for the
California law-the "anti-gin mar
rage measure" What picture does
that bring to you? Boys and girls
so drunk they know not what they
are doing. Silly children taking a
vow they have no intention of keep
ing.
If we are going to hold marriage
thus, then let's not swear any oaths
to be true until death Let's sign
document and at least he bonest.
For when people mo longer hold
their VOWS as sacred ties they need
some moral suStenance.

And when Emily protested,
Agnes flared with a small show
