BIKE DELUGE IS LI BY MOLL AT FOOTOF GIRL Judge Denies Truth of Lindsay’s Impeachment of MarriageSees Future Hope. “Marriage is not a failure,’’ said Judge T. J. Moll of Superior Court Room 5 today, answering Judge Ben Lindsay of Denver, who took the opposition in a dispatch printed in the Times Wednesday. “Not a failure,” despite 2,000 odd divorce cases filed in Judge Moll’s court in the nine years of his tenure. The divorce problem, to which Judge Moll have given a thorough study, based on the hundreds of cases brought to him for decision, has within the last ten years grown by leaps and bounds, statistics compiled by him show. What is causing this movement away from the old-time attitude toward marriage? Judge Moll saye: “Something is loose in society. Something is ‘rotten in Denmark.’ The economic ‘emancipation’ of women has resulted in women adopting the attitude that they should have the same social privileges as man. But —they still insist on the privilege of’ looking to man for protection and support. They would eat their cake and have it. “The morality of women has undoubtedly sunk ip the last ten years far below its previous level. "There are two things to consider which are fundamental to the whole problem: 1. “The innate selfishness of the individual. 2. “The standard or morals of the individual. “If both parties to a marriage arc altruistic, but not servile and are of high moral standard, they will not see the divorce court“Another thing is, too much money. “Society can't stand prosperity. It runs wild. It goes over the bank. It steps on it. “But eventually—it may be generations—women will assert themselves to the limit. They will discover the impracticability of their position. Then they will return to normalcy. "The courts in recent years have gradually lopped off the sharp edges of the ‘cruel and inhuman treatment' ground for divorce, until now we have what is virtually a return to the old ground of ‘incompatibility of temperament.’ AVhether this will be dealt with by legislation or the prob lem will await the gradual reversion to the former respect for marriage vows, remains to be seen-”
