DIVORCE DOING WHAT CHURCH
ES HAVE FAILED TO DO.
BY BONNIE WHEELER.
"The divorce courts are do
ing what the churches have
failed to do ? purity the homes."
Thus is the startling view of the
divorce problem taken bj IClbbi Jo
seph kruuskopf, 1>. 1)., of Philadel
phiu, one ot the most noted loctur.rs
iu thu Kast. who is to deliver an
address at the A.-Y.-l'.-K. Auditorium
Sunday afternoon.
"1 firml* believe that far from b?
ing au evil, divorce is but one oi the
many upward steps that wolueu are
taking, and that divom will event
ually bring about a Limner staudard
of morality."
Men Must Toe the Line.
l>r. Krauskopf is eertu.iiK a friend
of womankind, and <\er\ upward
step she lias taken meets with his
hearty approval "Why should a
young woman wno meets and uiarriea
a young man rriu.uu tletl to him if he
do?-s not obsvrv. the same high stand
urd that he expects her to?" he said
this morii;n~. "T?? thirds of the di
vorces are granted to women. which
shows that iu time the rneu will bo
whipped ;uto line. They will wake
up to the real! rat ton that if they wai4
woman for a wife they will have to
treat her as a human being and ob
serve the saim moral obligations that
she does."

Divorce Laws All Right.
"Tin- greatest discover}- of the ll'th
century is this,'' says Dr. Krauskopf:
"Woman has found h? rs> It ami in
so finding herself. sin is accomplish
ing what ages of itfiurchcs have no:
done. What wouian will suffer indig
nities now that sue can go forth aim
earn her own livelihood? When a
woman can work and honor herself
why should she l> ? linked to a utai.
and dishonor herself? It is not right.
Divorce laws no not need reiuou?-liug.
They wiU right themselus in time.
They will work out if left alouc.
coiupiish this.
Believes in Higner Euucation.
Dr. Krauskopi ?ays that he believes
firmly in woman ami high* :? educaiou
and tnat woman should enter every
Held of life, "tlvery occupation that
woman takes up or every fU-lit sue
??nters she makes beter. Woman is a
treat factor in the betterment of th?
world," hi- said.
"In the days Ions past and even
now in some of tii. European toun
lies, the daughters of poor families
are married oil as soon :is they are
1.1 or l?? years of age. They tire a
burden on the already large family
and, as they cannot earn a living,
they are bartered as soon as they
can be. This is the reason of the
I'owTy custom of these countries. The
father scrapes together enough mom .
lo put his daughter lip lor sale and
tlie man who buys her treats her ac
cordingly," continued Kabbi Kraus
kopf. "Hut woman ever on the climb,
has gone beyond this in most coun
tries. Divorce has made this iiupos
sible now."
Suffrage is All Right.
Dr. Krauskopf says that he belives
the suffrage agitation of today is
just another move of woman and that
:? will result in her ultimate advance
ment. "The water that is stirred up
and muddy now," he says, "will in
the end clarify ami bring joy to the
hearts of many. It is this upward
movement of the part of the woman
which will purify the homes."? Se

INSTRUCTION.
As through this vale of tears
I tread, I notice many a enr
ious thing; he crow that's squaklug
over head would teaieh the robin how
lo sing; the mulo will tell the racing
mare just how to trot urouud ho
track; the man who hasn't any hair
knows how to bring our ringlets back*
The fan who couldn't throw a bull
with vim enough to hit a church,
when on the bleachers knows it all
and calls the pitcher from his perch.
The loatVr who has not a cent, who
J raws his ratlous from the town,
knows all the curves of government,
and ?.-;il!s tlie llouso and Senate down
The blacksuiih ikiusos long euongh to
tell the preacher how to preach; the
grocer drops liis prunes and stuff,
to te;ich the pedagogue to teach.
The poet claws his wooden harp, and
fumbles will its broken string, until
soiue life insurance sharp comes up
and tells hiui how to slug. Sonic
woes of life would quickly fade, and
bores would Ik- li-ss thick, perhaps, if
every fellow know his trade as well
as lie knows t'other chap's. ? Walt

SIGNS OF JULY.
Oh. the summer uirl Is tllrl Intf
. By the sea.
And tl'.e lemonade Is squirting
Juclly.
And the landlord Is a-smlllng
In a manner most beguiling
As he sees his till up piling
U S. D.
All the Herman bands are tootlnic
O'er the way.
And the merry chutes are chutlng
Blithe ami Kay.
And the happy loup-the-looper
Is us jolly as a troo|>er
As he hoops the Iron hoojier
Day by day.
On the roof we seek the warden
Cool and brlKht.
Derby lids and furs diseardln'
With delight.
And the kids Rive up their schooling
For the swimming pond so cooling.
Where they sp< ri ! their time a-foollng
Day and night.
In the town the weary daddy
Winks his eye
As he thinks of golf and caddie
? By and by.
And he dally writes his "only"
l"p at Wlndymcre or Stoneleigh,
Closing up with: "Feeling lonely?
So am I."
When there's signs like the foregoing
To the eye.
When the mereury is llowing
Itather high,
Wh i the sklvs are bright and pleasln'
Anil the weather's far from freezln'
You can Iwt you've reached the season
of July.
