ESKIMOS HAVE Here """- 'is x flA M i Tribe Lived In Itlciil Condition of Communism Until Christianity And Civilization Cume. Washington, Oct. 2G. A special to the Washington Herald says: Trial marriage among uie eskimos of Alaska and In the region of the Mackenzie ltiver is a complete suc cess, and the life and morals of these people excel those of any civilized country, In the opinion of V. Stefan son, ethnologist of the Lelllngwell Mlggelson polar expedition, who has Just returned from the Far North. Mr. Stefanson went through some exciting experiences, and the results of his ethnological studies of the Eskimos will probably delight the heart of Mrs. Parsons, the wife of Representative Parsons, who wrote "The Family,", which book caused much discussion at the time of its publication. This entire problem, he says, is worked out to perfection, 'divorce and liimily jars among this race be ing practically unknown. In every instance, declares Mr. Stefansboi),, he lound that those farthest away from religion and civ ilation as exemplified by the white man, had a much higher moral and physIiJ'i standads that those who have been Christianized and civil ized. This conviction, he says, is borne out by almost unanimous testimony of the traders and the Canadian mounted police, who penetrato this country. Their exemplification of the family, he asserts, is superb, and cannot bo qualified anywheic. They Marry Young. "When a boy reaches the age of 15 or 1C years he marries n girl of about tho same age or a year younger," says Mr. Stcfansson. "There is no ceremony In this union, and it is seldom a pe-manent one. Ca3es are rare where couples first united have remained together. It is sometimes the second, and generally the third union, which proves lasting. "This last marriage usually takes place when the couple reaches young manhood and womanhood, and its ties are rarely, if ever, broken. If a co.iple, upon first mating, for any reason proves uncongenial, the one wishing to do so simply marries someone else. "There are no hard feelings, and there is no complaint, us it is consid ered that neither party has cause for complaint. "A peculiar feature of these match es Is the fact that the young couples are, as a rule, not very afiectionate, which is a peculiar contrast, as when permanently settled, and reaching the age of from 25 to 35, they be come affectionate and loving in the extreme, and never unnecessarily leave one another's side. Children Well Cared For. "Naturally, you ask what becomes of the children springing from the trial marriages, but this Is also easllj disposed of, and m a most sat isfactory way. "Children are few In this region from various physiological reasons. In some instances they remain with the mother, in others with the father, but a majority are adopted by other and settled couples. "Their care is no burden or ex pense, as these people are commun ists in every sense." Chicken dinner? Alright.
