MAKING MATRIMONY SAFE The Wisconsin assembly is re4 reallng its tfo-cal'.edj euenics law which sought to place fresh safei guards around the' matrimonial adventuring of the citizens of the frtate.

It grows in strength' and prestige as the 1 months, pass, and it is now apparent .that the, League lssrua 'will play a prominent perhaps a dominant Ipart in the national elections next year. v j : " Lord Robert Cecil j by his Am erican totff,' has focused .the at tention of j; the country on the league and its accomplishments. He has told nothing new to tho3e who have followed its course; but he has awakened the interest of millions ; who stilt , believed in the; League Idea, but ) who were not. aware of how much it had actually accomplished. - Commenting orr 'Lord Cecil's tour and upon the jhisrepresenta tlon of some of his critics, the Kew York World recently said editorially: j - .;-; ; : i, The decision (1920) which was supposed to be against the League has been followed by a cpnstant thovaTh ' timid approach : nearer and nearer! to the League.

"Senator Borah, who in 1919; was sor fear fully worried about 'American sov ereignty, isiin 1923 demanding a World urtf with., compulsory Jurisdiction" v. There must be some extraor dinary virtue In an institution that cot only survives attack; but continues- calmly to win the support of its, enemies. That virtue is plain to see; ; t The League stands, out as the one and only hope of permanent peace. : When every ; criticism has 'been made, when every!, weakness and; defect has been t emphasized the League still stands . in the midst of Eu rope the one best j bet of the hu man race. h-; , . .. !- ' . ;' . . ' There ' has been no weakening in the ranks of the ardent sup porters -. of the vr League in ; this country who desired our govern ment to become ione of the signa tories, with or j without, reserva tions, - three years ago. . . As the Times then pointed out, : the" 1920 election was not a ""solemn refer endum"1 pit ' the 'question whether this : country should become a member of an association to pro mote and preserve peace. The peoplej made the issue In that campaign. It revolved about the queson of Democratic incompe tence and extravagance. The peo ple wanted a business administra tion that should reduce. taxes and set the' country : on the high road to 'recovery from the exhaustion and confusion of the war. , In that' they were successful. Our government is functioning well - internally and the country Is -again prosperous. ' But., while we have .been setting our own house In order, all has not been iroing well in Europe. .

No the least of its-accomplishments has been the establishment of an International Court of Jus tic on so fair, and equitable a basis that President Harding and Secretary Hughes baVe advocated our government's accepting mem bership. - ' Jm" : It has become apparent that the League functions in,the Inter ests of peace, that it Is posible for the League to do what cannot be accomplished under, the old system, of balances of power. In three years the League has grown from a theoretical experiment to a. liberal institution.. v Three years ago the friends of Irish freedom- in this country were bitterly opposed to , the League. The Irish, Free State has now ap plied for membership. v.; That Is an indication of the trend of thought throughout the world. - The Times -favored an associ- rtion of nations to promote' and preserve peace prior to 1914.- It favored the I formation of . such an association at the peace con ference. It favored America's ac- Lrepting membership in the League in 1,919, with or without reserva tions; for it believed that any de fects . In the' covenant ; would be remedied by ', amendment j later.
