ipaigns ate to be waged. Right
in our own community Mayor
and the city authorities have
marriage.
And so he has asked me for my
views on early marriage.
I believe definitely and emphatical
ly in early marriage. As soon as a
youth has attained man’s estate and
it is time for him to marry. Aside
from the pleasure of sharing your
joys and sorrows with the one you
love, early marriage has enabled many
a young man to avoid temptation that
he mfght otherwise find impossible to
overcome.
Furthermore, early marriage estjdb-
lishes a high ideal at a period of life
when habits are being formed. Every
normal boy, when he attains manhood,
has a distinct and emphatic desire for
a home, a wife and children, along
with the duties and responsibilities it
involves. He craves the companionship
of one upon whom he, can shower his
.affection.‘He wants to be loved in re
turn, and it is only right that these
yearnings should be satisfied early in
' life.

in spite of them.
Until some entirely different social
and economic system is evolved, men
must continue to bear the brunt of
paying the bills. That is the game of
life as we know it, and he who would
play must abide by the rules.
The longer marriage is delayed, the
less chance it has of ever being con
summated. We already have an alarm
ing percentage of unmarried men and
women who are of a marriageable
age-^—which means one of two things.
They are either taking love when and
where they find it, with all the dan
gers that implies; or else they are
living the life of celibates, which is
both unhealthful and unnatural.
Therefore, f say that marriage af
ter the twehtieth year should not be
discouraged if a high standard of
health, happiness and morality are to
be attained.
