St. Thomas News MERRY MARRIAGES. Marriage is all right. The human race couldn’t get along without it. In mar- riage, as in drink, temperance is the on- ly safe policy. One marriage is a good thing. It ought to do any one for a long time—a life time at least. j The trouble is not with marriage, but with too many marriages. ‘There ought to be a law passed pre- ventinga man from marrying for the second time, This law would not violate the indivi- dual’s rights, but would preserve his liberty. ; It would be the only prohibitory law designed not to interfere with the liberty of the citizen, but to protect it in spite of himself. v A lot of people look upon -marriage as a game of chance. Lr they lose the first time, they place their bet on another horse, I mean on another marriage. Marriage is the only game of chance where both sides can lose. A lot oftimes both of them win, but you never read about this in the papers. It is not news. &It is best to get married early. You thus have a more limited choice and vour chances of going wronZ are reduced coun- siderably. ' They say that marriages are made in heaven, but you cannot tell e that the dev.l didn’t have something to do with some of them. There is one divorce to every four mar- riages in Chicago. People do not take marriage sericusly, though most married men will tell vou that.it is serious enough. One solution of the problem is to make getting married harder, and divorce more diificult. Uader th2 present system trinl ma:- riage is in vogue. Let us do away wiln merry ma.riages and easy divorezs, and possibly p2ople wiil stop getting mar.ied until they really mean it wn-n they p - mise to tak? a life partner for better or worse until parted by death.—PLlNY.
