POLYGAMY TO PURIFY MORALS
There is no doubt that the German!
have their weather eye fixed firmly
on the future. Their frightful loss ol
man power is a matter of deep con
cernnient and the problem of replen
ishing the population us rapidly as
IKissible, and with their own blood
is prompting them to make tin* mosl
daring proposals The most rpcent
contribution on the subject is a pam
phlet written by one Carl Hermann
Torges, entitled “The Secondary Mar
riage as the Only Means for the Rapid
Creation of a New and Powerful
Army and the Purification of Moral
ity.” it is the latter claim contained
in this lengthy title that most in
terests us.
According to Torges' way of think
ing, "the conception of morality is
relative" and “good morals are only
what tin upper classes of society ap
prove." Heaven help us if this dictum
be- on* -s the universally accepted
slum' “d of morality! Then the au
thor fines the meaning of "second
ary triages'' as Mows:
"\\ on in all classes of society
■who li .e reached a certain age are,
in the Interests of the Fatherland, not
only authorized hut called upon to
enter into a secondary marriage,
which is suported by personal inclina
tion. Only a married man may he the
object of this inclination, and lie must
have the consent of his married wife.
The offspring of these secondary mar
riages hear tlic name of their mother,
and nr. handed over to tile care of
the -tat' 'Mill's; the mother assumes
responsibility for them. They are to

A "GRACIOUS” SOVEREIGN
A petty German prince committed
suicide recently; and itis successor
proi burned himself to his subjects in
this fashion:
"We, l'rederieh. by I lie grace Of God
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg. Prince
ol Wenden, Schwerin, and ltatzburg
Count of Schwerin. laird of Itostocli
land so forth), have undertaken tin
government and control of the grant
duchy.
"in graciously condescending t(
notify the population of this impor
taut procedure, we command all thosi
who dwell in the grand duchy, offl
i ials, vussals, servitors, and person:
ot all rank, station, anil position, ti
