LOOSE MARRIAGES a MORALS IN THE STATES Divorce Commission Evidence I ———— Mr. John Arthur Barratt, an American and English barrister, continued his evidence before the Divorce Commission in London to-day. Yesterday afternoon he dealt exten- sively with the law of divorce as that obtains in the United Slates. To-day he was further examined on the same subject. The cost of divorce in the States, he said, ranged from £ 2 to £ 10 in undefended cases for poor persons. The opinion of the legal aid societies was that it was not loose divorce laws so much as loose marria-ge laws which constituted the greatest evil. That the prevalence of divorce in the United States did not show.a lower standard of morals was shown by the opinions of three distinguished historians of America. Professor Lecky aond Professor Rryoe testified to the high standa.rd of sexual morality. The latter said it was higher than that of any part of northern or western Europe, except, possibly, among Roman Catholic peasantry cf Ireland. Several of the States had adopted stringent laws, so as to prevent t-he marriage of persons deemed by disease or inherited ten- dency unfit fcr marriage, such as epileptics, imbeciles, paupers. Ac. A leading woman lawyer in Chicago was quoted a.s ascribing the inoreaoe in divcVoe to the growing eoonomic independence of women, and to the relaxation of religious restrictions. No longer would woman submit to the domiiiation (Proceeding. )
