Conan Doyle on Divoroe.

If I were given supreme power, a power as great as both houses of parliament, for a single day, writes Conan Doyle tn the Strand, I would exercise it In the direction of the reform of the divorce law*. Th* divorce laws In England are so arranged at present that divorce Is practically Impossible for a poor man. that people are tied without hope of release to lunatics, drunkards and criminals, and great numbers (more than 200,000 Individuals) are separated by law, and yet are not free to marry again—a fact which cannot be conducive to public morality.
