Mayor Edison united in marriage a
young couple at the City Hall last Fri
day afternoon whose romantic courtship.
thus happily concluded, was diversified
by a number Of thrilling incidents sell
dom occurring in real life.
The bride, Miss Maggie Whallie, now
Mrs. Charles Hollingsworth, n beauti-
full blonde, lived in a little town of Skip
ton, in Yorkshire, England. Her father
was q wealthy man, and proprietor of
the Maitland House, the largest hotel
in that place. Three years ago young
Hollingsworth, who is at present only
twenty-five years of age, arrived in the
town as secretary of the passenger agent
of the Midland Railroad. He boarded
with q private family named Rose, and
it was not long before the daughter of
the house, Miss Fannie Rose, a dark
complesioned, vivacious young girl of
eighteen, fellin love with the handsome,
dark featured young boarder.
He did not return her passion, but
loved Miss Maggie Whallie, who had
been introduced to him by Miss Fannie
herself. The young folks soon came to
an understanding and Charles gave his
betrothed 9l00, all the money he had.
Fearful lest Mr.. Whallie would object
to a comparatively poor suitor for his
daughters hand they kept their love a
secret. but it did not escape Miss Fannie's
Jealous eyes.
She began to hate her girl friend,
and with her mother ~conspired to sepa-
rate the young lovers. The two persons
spread rumors derogatory to Mr.. Hol-
l~ingsworth's good name and saw to it
that these ISLANDERS reached Miss Whal-
lies ears. The ~high-spirited young girl
believed the reports and at Charles
next visit proudly broke her engage

Tariff and Prices.

Once in while somo man, perhaps in con-
gress, possibly named Springer or Cox, rises
and announces with great wisdom that a
tariff duty is tax which raises the price of
all articles, not only those imported on which
it is levied but all homemade articles of the
same kind, and that in consequence the con-
sumer is made to pay tribute to tho manufac-
turer to the amount of the tax. This theory
times, but careless observers and superficial
thinkers forget the answers and honestly be-
lieve that tho theory is correct. Many of
them are unable to trace the operations OF
trade and the effects of protective duties, and
continue to assert it must be SO, though facts
and statistics clearly prove the contrary.
We can illustrate this theory by another
All business tends naturally to the ultimate
point of being controlled by cost-that is to
say, If it takes 100 men to manage a given
business, tho cost Of that business will be
double the cost of another business which re-
qurcs only fifty mon, other things being
equal. Now, apply this to country village.
1t has one store, with one merchant and ono
clerk, and they sell all the supplies. Soon
another merchant with clerk comes in and
doubles the number of men in trade, The
theory now is that tho villagers must pay
more for goods, because they must maintain
four men in trade instead of two, as formerly,
but the fact usually is that they will pay less.
The cost theory goes TO the wall in almost
every case because when there was but one
man in the trade he fixed his prices to suit
himself and was q monopolist. When a rival
camo in the people found business could be
done at a smaller profit than they had been
paying the old merchant.
The natural effect of tariff is the Same
upon the Springer theory of cost and burden.
1t introduced rival into the business which
has until now been in the hands of a
monopoly, and the monopoly is obliged to
lower its prices. Thus, from 1924 to 1928 the
tax on molasses was cents per gallon, and
molasses averaged 37l cents. In 1928 the
duty was made 10 cents per gallon, and dur
ing the next four years molasses sold under
30 cents per gallon. This fact is commended
to all who fancy that higher tax increases
prices,) Nearly all East India goods were
sold in this country lower after 1928 than be.

The commissioner of pensions recently
brought to the attention of the secretary OF
the interior case in which an attorney OF
record in pension case had withhold and
persistently refused to file in the pension
office evidence in his possession relating to
the claim, and had refused to further prose-
cute tho case until his demand upon the
claimant for the payment of his fees had been
complied with.
In letter to the commissioner, Secretary
Teller defines the position of the department.
as follows: "If any attorney deems the fee
allowed by law in a pension case insufficient
to Justify his taking the risk Of collecting his
fees after he has consented to represent the
claimant and has rendered some assistance
in the prosecution of the claim, he need not,
of course, consent to act as attorney in the
case. But if he does consent. and as attorney
for the claimant files the claim in the pension
office, the department will not permit any
delay in the adjudication of the claim and the
consequent obstruction to the business Of the
pension office growing out of an attempt by
the attorney to secure the payment of any
portion of his fee, by refusing to commune
cate to the claimant the requirements of the
pension Office for evidence, or by failing to
file such evidence when perfected"
1t is the attention Of the department here.
after to regard such conduct as q sufficient
reason for disbarment of the offending
attorney.

Choosing Presidential Electors.

The constitution does not provide that presi-
dental electors shall be chosen by q vote of tho
people. Each state shall appoint in such
manner as tho legislature thereof may direct,
a number of electors equal to tho whole num-
Der Of senators and representatives to which
tho state may be entitled in the congress-"
If the legislature of any state should choose
to designate any other method Of appoint
ing electors than by u popular election this
clause of the constitution could be set up us
sufficient warrant. The legislature Of
South Carolina chose The presidential electors
for that state ny TO the breaking ont Of the
war, and the regularity of their appointment
was never called in question.
SO conservative a democratic journal as tho
Galveston Ne,cS suggests that all the southern
states in which the republicans are likely to
make n contest should commit the work of
appointing electors to their respective logis.
laturcs. In this way tho so-called "bloody
shirt" issue would be avoided and the count
Of tho votes in the presence of the two houses
of congress would not be disturbed by ques.
tions growing out of the manner of conduct
ing the campaign or the election. There
would he no excuse or motive for attacking
the civilization of the south or for holding up
tho deeds of lawlcss ruilians to the repro
baton of mankind. When q desired result
can be attained by honest and peaceful means
there is no use of giving the opposition u
lcncc.
If the object of presidential election
was merely to procure the casting of 1873 cleo
toral votes in the southern states for tho
democratic candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency, no fault could be found with
tho plan proposed by our Texas contemporary.
But in this country elections are held, theo-
retically at least, for the purpose of ascertain-
ing the popular will. The somewhat in
direct method of choosing president and
vice president through the agency of electors
appointed by the states was adopted at time
when the idea of popular elections had not
been fully developed. Its defects have be-
come apparent, and those who are now young
may live to see the time when the people will
vote directly for the candidates of their
choice.
At present the main object of the bourbons
in the south is to devise plan for suppress
ing the will of the majority, without mourning
the penalty which attaches to deliberate and
systematic fraud--namely, the rejection of
tho electoral vote of the state in which it is
practiced. The choosing of electors by the
state legislatures would be an easy way out
of the difficulty, but the effect of such action
might be most disastrous to tho democ-
racy in the north. In securing 15S cleo
toral votes in tho south without fraud,
violence, or tumult every northern state
may be lost. The feeling in favor OF
popular suffrage in the north is SO strong
that the party which would propose to elect
a president through the legislatures of tho
southern states would have no more chance
of success than party that would propose to
establish slavery.

Gen. Colston's remarks upon the great

impossible for the English commander to
make one days march away from the water

Graham, who was to havo moved against

march for one day in order to form water
depots on the route to Tamaniob.
