Roth Rabbi Louis I. Newman of San Francisco and Judge Ben R, Lindsey of Denver have replied vehemently in process of the recent action of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of Portland, Ore which took exception to the debate between the two held in that city on the subject of companionate marriage as espoused by the ## court judge.
