DIVORCE AND ITS CURE.
A good many suggestions for the solving of the divorce problem have been .offered bv different people on divers occasions, but, to mv mind, the first step in the right direction would be a law laid down as follows: In every case where a co-respondent, or third part, is proved or admitted to be .the cause of a married couple separating, the third party should be given twelve months' hard labour and the married couple advised to carry on as usual while the co-respondent did the twelve months' hard. About 99 per cent of divorces are brought about by the intervention of a third party; this applies to both sexes. I am firmly of tlie opinion that co-respondents would think twice of interfering between man and wife if they knew j there was twelve months' or two years' hard labour attached to it. KEEP OUT.
