HE work of tin army of which mine is tbc honor to he commander lies largely with the ;cor We are better acquainted, with ery item of their

real life. their surroundings, their vicissitudes, than anyone could possibly

be who did not go into their homes and live with them their daily life. .Marriage conditions among the poor have formed the theme of much of ray personal research and of many of the reports made to me. It Is one of the great one of the very great and wery grave quostions of the day. Marriage among the rich may mean any one of many things. It may mean social or financial advancement; It may be a mere matter of convenience; it may be the outcome of Idleness an 3 propinquity. But marriage among the poor Is the most oooiat means of reform. By making marriage universally possible among those who are not bl-s.ied with an abundance of this world's goods the most deadly blow imaginable would be dealt o vice. The greatest step would by such moans 1k taken toward vice's utter elimination. ' Marriage Is an honorable estato" and "not to 'be entered into lightly." But. too often, under present conditions, the poor man caunot afford to enter into It at all. Yet he. perhaps far oftenor than his wealthier brother, recognizes the "honorable" condition of that "estate." I say this advisedly. Among the poor infidelity far less frequent than among the rich. The poor man and his wife hold the marriage relation more sacred than do those of greater worldly wealth. It Is therefore doubly unfortunate that a clas3 so worthy of the blessings of matrimony should be so frequently debarred from those blessings: that the people who maintain the sanctity of the marriage tie and who. moreover, bring up larger

families as a rule than do persons better able to afford to do so. should be forced to remain single while men and women whose marriages are of no advantage te tho community nor to posterity max wM at will. renditions among the poor are in many cases si:-h tl.at the rearing and the keeping together of a family are rendered Impossible. On every had the poor man's efforts to establish and maintain the sac rod relations of matrimony are discouraged. How. for instance, can a poor man take to him-s-lf a wife when the cost of livins is so high that he can bart-ly supKrt life In himself? How can he ask a woman to share his lot when he knows he may at any time bo thrown out of work and perhaps be obliged to watch her starve? How can a man rear a family when tho chances may be all against his being able to maintain it? For a mat. cannot maintain a family when he has no work. The sight of a starving wifo and children has driven many a man to desperation even to crime. Yet it Is tho right of the poor to havo a home. With them that right is as inalienable and perIwips more precious than with tho rich. Awl social conditions should be so arranged as to allow the poor to escape from the burden of vice tb-ough tho blessed bonds of matrimony. These conditions, which are rendering marriage among the poor more and more impossible, are every day bringing more and more sin Into the world. I maintain most strongly that there is a romedj for vice. And that remedy consists in making marrlago possible among the poor and In providing for such people a homo. In this country. It is true, there is a brightor side to the question than in Europe, as may be proved from statistics. In London out of every 1.000 marriageable persons 729 are unmarried. More generally speaking, less than one-third of the marriageable population of London (the largest city of tho world) eater the state of matrimony. More than two-thirds are single. The conditions for marriage there are all against the poor man and woman. They may fall In love as utterly as could any millionaire, but the gates of the Eden of matrimony are closed against them and guarded by the flaming sword of poverty. They may sigh for marriage, but they realize that such a luxury Is far and away above their moans. In this country the marriage statistics are almost exactly the opposite of London's. Here about two-thirds of tho marriageable population are married, leaving barely a third unwed. The explanation of this difference between the two countries Is. of course, easy to find. It consists In the better wages, the Increased chances for work, the general conditions which prevail

lp Amerlcn If is easier for tho poor to llvo her than In London, but every year It Is growing less easy. In proportion with the poor man's growing Inability to support a wife, vlco proves ksolf to be on the increase. This advanco in vice is found oven in the west, and thore. as well as I the oast, it Is due to tho growing financial disability to marry. Durtng my recent visit to Kansas City soveral married women applied to mo for positions on tho Salvation Army farms. On Investigation I learned that they had not hoard from tholr busbands for years. I roadf Inquiries, and in oach cass found that tho wage-earner of the family, unable to get work, had gone away, penniless, to seek a livelihood elsewhere, and had been forced to leave his wife and littlo ones to shift for themselves. The stories were profoundly pathetic. For they told of men and women whose right to wed and rear families was Inalienable and yet who had been

forced to part from all that each held dear. Poverty, not more merciful death, them did part.

Can any situation be Imagined that would be more crushing to a man of heart and of pride than to be forced thus to condemn to poverty and loneliness the woman he loved? Could witnesses to such a tragedy require a stronger dotorrent to matrimony? There Is far more suffering of this kind among the poor than tho world at large over hears of. Poor people are proud, and most of them havo a passionate love of home. I have seen whole families resign themselves to probable death soonor than to allow their homes to be brokon up. The great dread of tho unfortunate poor Is lest their children be taken away from them and committed to an institution. "Domlcide." or the breaking up of the home, is to the poor man what regicide is to loyal subjects of any king. From a sociological standpoint there are many arguments for allowing the poor man to have a borne and family. It is his right. He is fonder of his children, as a rule, than Is his rich neighbor. His home is dearer to him. Home ties are his only joys, his only recreation. When I find a man starving and unable to support his family I do not believe in tearing out his heart by proposing the breaking up of his home and the commitment of his children to an institution. I suggest to him rather, that he go into the country, where work Is more plentiful and living cheaper, and I try to find tho means for him to do so. Perhaps the best maxim to solve the marriage problem among the poor is: "Place waste labor on waste land by means of waste capital, and thereby convert the trinity of waste into a unity of production."

ECENTLY a young dy who had just

come back from a month's honeymoon called on me. "How do you like matrimony?" I asked. "I am utterly wretched," she replied.

.1 asked her why. ""Because I did not try It soonor." And that speech of her3, frivolous as It may appear, sounded the keynote of the marrying question far more truly and resonantly than could ihe Eneerlng epigrams of a world full of cynics. t bear unqualified testimony to tho fact that The man who passes his life In what is miscalled 'single blessedness" has missed most of life's treasures. Life at 20 even at 30 may seem pleasant -nough to a man without a wife to share its iumphs and failures. The world Is young. There much to distract and amuse. Home perhaps rw-ms "a place to go when all the other places aro closed." Frlonds are plentiful; relatives and iiiimediate family are about him. But when a man reaches middle or old age? "Friends are not so many nor perhaps so dlslnt rested as at 20. Old-time pleasures lack their zest. Blessed, thrice blessed, then. Is the man who l as home, wife and chlldron to ease that last t tage of life's long climb. Most miserable of mortals Is he who must look forward to a loveless und lonely old age. Annexing a wife and family In youth is merely higher and wiser form of putting money In lank. No other Investment yields such interest later ycarB. Let a man marry just as soon as he can suptnrt a wife. Tho youth who puts oft this groat tep In order that he may search through the world for an "affinity" is foolish. In the search ho Is more than Ilablo to pass by his true "affinity" nnd to choose at last a wlfo whom no strotch of . . '.agination could twist Into an afnnlty for anyjne. The traditional man who wandered for dnyts hrough a forest looking for material for a can a, nnd who at last pickod up a crooked stick, was rommate If that crookod stick did not turn out - be a snake. A man Is Just as likely to hit upon his Idoftl oarly in life as later on. My advice, then, as the supposititious man's lawyer, Is: "Don't wait" "Marriage halves one's privileges and doubles one's troubles" Is an idiotic saw probably invontod toy a bacholor. There is too much talk of this ort Men speak of matrimony as a millstone tied about the neck of youth. The lives of tho world's most successful men give the Ho to this fallacy.

Search the lives of the men who have made history, of the men who hare achieved true greatness, who have won fame, who have acquired wealth. Tho ast majority of them were married. Of these tho greater part married young. Their wives, instead of transforming themselves into shapely but heavy millstones and dangling about tho galled necks of their liege lords, have, la nino cases out of ten, done more than all other influences combined to crown their husbands lives with success. Nearly all great men who have been married would confess they owed much of their fame or wealth to their wives. There aro, of course, obstacles to happiness in married life. So also are there reefs and shoals in the Atlantic. But the sailor does not for that roason become a landsman. He studies the shoots and learns to avoid them. Tho pitfalls in matrimony can far more easily be studied and avoided by any couple possessed of a moderate degree of sense. My belief, from observation, is that 75 out of 100 marriages are happy, and that not more than five out of that number are unhappy. Apart from love itself there Is a companionship in married life that draws closer and more beautiful as the years go by. During my last visit to Europe I mot a distinguished man who expressed the deepest interest in our country. "Why do you not visit us, thon?" I asked him, "if you have so Kindly a fooling for America and Americans?" "Because," ho replied, simply, "my wife could not stand the voyage, and I would not, for any personal or solflsh reason, be responsible for one day's separation from her." Tho couple had been married 40 years. Again, many a man or maid postpones marriage bocauso in neithor's heart has dawned that wonderiul creation of the novelist known as "tore at first sight This is a mistake. Propinquity is tho most powerful factor In making two hearts beat as ono. Many women form their Ideals of a husband on novels and plays. Disillusionment Is bound to follow. Thoy find that tho onco Idoallzod husband is only a common mortal without ovoh a pinfeather on his shoulder blade. Thon tho wife feels she has been deceived. So sho has. But by horself; not by her husband. Anothor rlevous blow to many a wife Is that her husband doos not always romaln her lover. She forgctB that be Is tolling every day for her welfare, as no lover would toll. She forgets also the wide difference between masculine and feml-

nine nature Man lovos, but not quite as woman loves. While a man may become so wildly infatuated s to spond his business hours in drawing Cupids all over his letterheads, yet love can never permanently occupy so large a place in his life as it does In woman's. His life is too full, too active, too varied in Its Interests. Concession on both sides is the sovereign remedy for domestic differences. H you were to drop two strange cats Into a barrel and then clap on the lid you would not marvel at tho onsulng sounds of wrath nor at the floating upward of errant scraps of fur. Yet whoft a man and a woman, reared along different lines anfl In separate environments, do not a reo in overy particular tho world stands aghast at the tale of marital Infelicity. Whereas a little forbearance, a careful study of each othor's moods and fallings will soon reduce this strife to a minimum. I belioro that no couple who began by loving each other and had the right consideration for each other ever came to serious trouhlo. Tho effort of oach to pleas the other leads In a littlo while to not having to try, bocauso of tho sympathy between them. "Kiss and make up" is a good nil?. If the conpte do not properly ooaslder their relations tliro will he a good nuuty kisses, but far more necessity of making up. (Copyright, by Joseph EL Howies.) A Handicap Now.
