MARRIAGE LAW “JAZZ”

“DIVORCE MILL’’ DENOUNCED 1 —■" j CHICAGO, Aug. 13. 1 1 The prohibition of more than two < iivorces to one individual is advocated < iere by Judge David Brothers, the fani- f >us Chicago divorce judge, who suggests i the immediate passage of a new law to <- this effect. * “Thera should he a new law instituted 1 forbidding third divorces.” declared I Judge Brothers. "Three divorces should 1 indicate that a party is not qualified to 1 -ele«t a life partner —he has made three I mistakes. Divorces in such numbers be- ! -nines an obsession, which in its nature 1 is immoral. The effect on the rising • generation is veijy clear. You cannot stop people from marrying, but you can : stop them from getting divorces. Our sacred marriage law has become a jazz --just as much a prostitution of morals and ethics as iazz is a prostitution, of music. It is well known that one can get a divorce in tlm morning here and be re-married in the afternoon. We are charged with the responsibility of future gemmations. If our forefathers had done such things, where would .we he now? What is going to he the result, in tv.-entv-five years? "We must lav the foundation for tho time to come.”
