A Woman Novelist’s
Argument Against
, .V: '
Absolute Divorce.
Hy Mrs. MARGAUIT L-ELAND. Novelist.
IF my happiness in remariwing lessens in mv brother’s eves the
permanence of marriage, then will 1 give up mv happiness.
Cue hears sometimes a very high INDIVIDUAL MO
RA LI i FRO iES I that it is base for a man and woman who
hate each other to live together. Cut the individual moralitv which
recognizes the baseness of marriage without respect
|pp' aIK ove 1S ,lot (I ° l}tPl:t with Legal separation, which
W*f : will answer every purpose of safetv, honor and dc
coney.
N. HERE RICHTEOUS INDIVIDUALISM INDIRECTLY
ATTACKS SOCIETY. DECAUSE IT ATTACKS THE
PERMANENCE CF MARRIAGE, CN WHICH FAM
r* ILY, STATE, SOCIETY AND CIVILIZATION REST.
b . H is obvious that this is at the bottom of our
V- loose divorce laws. It is leaning c hastely, under the
guise of a HIGH PERCEPTION OF AFFINITIES, "toward free
love.
Happiness and Two
Hundred Thousand.
By JOHN J. Ml rCiIkLL of Chicago. President t?f the Illinois Trust and
Savinds Dank.
LTH is n burden. The man of millions is NOT PER-
h EC 1 1 IA HAPPY. He cannot bo. lie has too many
responsibilities.
I maintain that the individual of moderate means, one
worth a couple of hundred thousands of dollars, with a business that
is netting him something each year, is the person to be envied. Such
a man should be happy. He hasn’t too much money nor too little. He
has a good income, but not so great that he must worry either about
investing it or keeping it secure. If that man is not contented I cam
not imagine who would be.

We li.ear a great deal nowadays about the manly boy and about
the dangers of his hemming a mollycoddle, but in our efforts to amuse
Jiim and t > make his school life attractive we are in danger of develop
ing a race whose later course will he far more disastrous than if it had
enjoved in its vouth a vigorous course of PLAIN Ll\ ING ANI)
II KM I THINKING. Too much help is given to him by private
♦caching, annotated text books arid simplified tasks which take from
him the responsibility that he ought to hear.
Asa result we are in danger of producing a MENTAL MOLLY
CODDLE, a type whose intellectual powers are distressingly sickly
and stunted. The mental mollycoddle is not an unusual product of
this our FORCING PROCESS.
WE DO NOT WANT A NATION Or PRiGS NOR OF BOOK
WORMS NOR OF PRCFE33ORS —HEAVEN FORBID!—BUT WE CAN
MAKE USE OF MORE SCHOLARS AND MORE REAL STUDENTS.
The Criminal Rich
Make Anarchists.
By RICHARD T. CRANE. Chicatfo Manufacturer and Philanthropist.
PEOPLE think anarchists are terrible creature?. The people
who speak so contemptuously of them, however, often are
the PERSONS WHO MAKE ANARCHISTS. I imag
ine that conditions today are not unlike thgse which pre
ceded the commune and the French revolution.
AND YET THESE MEN PUT ON INNOCENT FACES AND SAY:
“WHY ARE THERE ANARCHISTS? YE3. I HAVE STOLEN A HUN
DRED MILLIONS, BUT I SEE NO CAUSE FOR DISSATISFACTION
AND COMPi-AiNT.”
Recent events, however, have shown that these possessors of piled
up ill gotten wealth who have felt so secure in their possessions have
been brought down in burning disgrace, to imprisonment and even
suicide. All of these things have resulted because they did not realize
the worth of honesty in business.
There Is Good In Everything.
By E. B. BUTLER, Merchant, of Chicago.
I TAKE the position that there is good in everything. lam no
scientist, but I have been told that men of vast learning
have found good, or God, in all things. I hat is the view
one is apt to take of life as one grows older. I believe there
is GOOD IN WEALTH IF IT IS PROPERLY USED. I be
lieve it is good to give libraries to towns and cities, as does Mr. Car
negie. Some people criticise Mr. Carnegie, but it appears to me that
it is well he gives as he does. He sets the example; he gets people
thinking, talking and discussing, lhat is of value in itself.
I notice that such institutions as the art and musical centers have
been objected to. I think there is good in them.
EACH GIFT THAT LENDS ITSELF TO THE CULTIVATION AND
ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE PEOPLE IS A GOOD GIFT. I BELIEVE
IN GENEROUS GIVING AND IN APPLAUDING ALL GIVING.
