WOULD STOP
DIVORCE L
Mrs. Taft, Wife of Candidate,
Would Stop Remarriage of
Separated People.
NKW YOliK, June That divorce
is t he greatest evil of the Amerii-au
nation today is the statement made hero
by .Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of
the republican presidential nominee. All
society is agog over some very pointed
remarks made by the wife of the man
just now uppermost in the jublic mind.
" "Yes. if it were in my prwer, divorce
Would be stopped altogether," said Mrs.
Taft. "Of course there are cases where
separation might be legally granted,
but there should be no re-iuuriiage al-
lowed. The laxity ol our divorce aiws
i form divorce law for all states for the
nat ion and there would be no oppor
tunity to evade it as is being done at
the present time.
"We might build up the greatest
navy in the world so we might have
1 he good will of every ruler of t he
earth; we might have a credit ami com
nien-e uiipurnlcllcd in ihe history of
nations; but when within the homes of
our country is a moral laxity and fain-
lily ties can be broken up in a twinkling
through a pr
ss of law that is looked
on as a matter ol course -just as one
would file a will or deed, then there is
a greater danger to the country from a
war with foreign nal ions. '
Mrs. Taft declared that she does no)
believe in a business life for a woman.
"A happy marriage is the most useful
life for auv woman," she said.
