Married..

1t is not every day that two loving
hearts are united in the holy bonds OF
matrimony in our town. Such events
are not of 50 frequent occurrence that
we should have failed last week to
chronicle the marriage of two OF our
well-known and highly esteemed citi-
Zens. At the home of Mr.. Arch Davis,
father of the bride, Tuesday evening,
Feb. 10Th, at $3.50 O'Clock, Miss Lucy
Davis and Mr.. William Brady were
happily married in the presence OF a
select com pany of the immediate fam
lily and friends of the contracting par
ties. Rev. Julian f. Ingle, rector OF
the Church of the Holy Innocents, per-
formed the ceremony. The marriage
was very quiet affair owing to the
sickness of the brides father.

How 10 Elect the President.

In providing by law how the electors OF
President and Vice President of the United
States shall DO chosen in Michigan, the
Legislature Of that State simply carried
out the wishes and intentions of the faith
ers OF the republic. who in the Federal
Constitution provided that leach State
shall appoint in such manner as the Legs
lsture thereof may direct q num6er Of
electors equal 20 the whole number of
Senators and Representatives 10 which the
State may be entitled 10 the Congress"
At the time Of the adoption Of the Con-
stisution OF the United States the right of
suffrage was very much restricted in most,
II not In all, Of the States In Virginia for
many years afterwards none but freehold
ers were allowed to vote. The trainers OF
the Federal Constitution never for mo-
ment expected the President OF the United
States TO be chosen by the popular vote.
They provided that United States senators
should DO chosen by the legislatures OF the
several States, thus insuring. a. they i'm
agined. conservative upper house.
and then provided that the President OF
the United States should be chosen by
what they very properly termed electors"
However, they used the word ELECTORS I"
In its original sense These officials were
90 termed because to them had been de-
puted the power TO " eiect.s The word

The Year Book further says that so far as
can be ascertained 1.-THE colonies of New
South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria are
capable of riyalling Austria. Hungary, and
the United States in the quantity pro-
duced, but the most serious difficulty in
the way of Australian tobacco production
ON large scale is the scarcity and dearness
of experienced labor"
The average consumption OF tobacco per
head in the various colonies is given as
3. SO lbs. for New South Wales. $40 lbs. for
Queensland, 1.s2 lbs. for South Australia.
/. IS lbs. for Tasmania, 2.93 lbs. for Victoria,
Gag lbs. for Western Australia. and LIS lbs.
for New Zealand.
From these figures we see no great en-
couraeement for tobacco-culture in
Australia. True il can be produced there,
So 1t can be produced almost anywhere in
the world. Russia and Austria Hungary
grow a good deal of it. MIR. STANLEY did
not penetrate any part of Africa which was
40 wild that there was not to be found a
patch of tobacco under cultivation but in
Australia, as elsewhere, the great question
will be after all, Is the production of to-
bacco profitable? This is not yet fully de-
termined. The future will disclose it.
There is no contention (there could not
well BIO any) that the native tobacco is
superior to that of American growth.

That Fallacy.

As we asked our Petersburg contempt
rary the Iader-Appeai to expose the fallacy
of the theory that If there ought to be no
lines between the States OF our Union
there ought to be none between this coun-
try and others--that Is. if free trade Is good
as between the several States of this Union,
II ought to be good as between this and
foreign countries-we cannot do less than
reproduce ITS argument written in COM
pliance with our request. We quote IT as
follows:
The fallacy, it seems TO as, lies In the unwar-
ranted assumption Of divisional lines between
the States. For commercial purposes no such
lines can exist in harmony with the Constitution
and that spirit OF national unity which makes US
one people, regardless OF geographical lines and
political actions. AS one peopie--one nation
welded In tho bonds Of q common interest and
common destiny, the prosperity OF one section 70
an accretion TO the strength and wealth oil the
whole, rs the Impeachment and distress OF
another is diminution Of the strength
and wealth, Of the whole. In recog-
milton Of this fundamental truth the Con-
stitution itself obiiterstes these divisional
lines for commercial purposes By ex-
pressiy prohibiting 70 the States the power 10
lay imposts or duties on importa Being, then,
for all trade and national purposes In commerce
one people there canno. be that rivalry among
ourselves that may easily and obviously arise
between US and other nations. We might elabc-
rate this theory but II would involve discussion
Of the relative advantages Of froe trade and pro-
lection. and that would be carrying 81 beyond the
point which seems 70 perplex the DssrArcH- Tho
idea We would emphasize Is that, being one per-
son commercially, VIC are, In the nature Of the
case, incapable Of thas rivalry with ourselves
which we may have with other nations, and, BY

Some Truths About Money.

United States Senator STEWART is out IN
another letter on the money question. II
is a good letter. and one of considerable
length. Though there is nothing particu-
larry new in it, the following sentences
strike us as expressing truths in epigram-
matte style. He says:
"The money question Is the most important
subject now agitatlng the public mind. 1t cannot
be obscured by sophistry or overshadowed Dy
sentimental questions. Silver mon on the goid
standard are wolves in sleeps clothing They
are the worst gold monometallists- IL we are 70
have the gold standard there is no use for silver
Paper is Just as good and more convenient we
must have tho silver as money OF redemption
equally with gold. The basis of credit Is not en-
Iareed by using silver as credit money redeemaole
In gold"
just so. Paper currency Is better than
silver money if we are to have silver re-
deenable in gold. or, as Mr.. STEWART says.
il we are to have the gold standard. Gold
and silver must be exactly equal before the
law or there can be no real bimetallism.

Tobacco IN New South Wales.

From The Australian Year Book we learn
that the suitability Of the soil and climate
of New South Wales for the cultivation OF
tobacco awakened the attention of settlers
at an early period in the history OF the
colony, and in 1922 quantity of tobacco
which had been grown in the inland dis
tricts was sold by auction in Sydney. In
1924 colonial manufactured tobacco began
to be vended in Sydney and elsewhere, but
the systematic manufacture of the article
in New South Wales practically dates from
1912. when 1t was commenced by an Amerl-
can, who perceived the possibility of the
new branch Of industry becoming a source
of. at least, personal profit. There have
been considerable fluctuations in the ex-
tent of the area under cultivation, and the
quantities of leaf obtained, the general
tendency being in the direction of in
creased production, as shown by the fol-
lowing table, which. with all of our other
facts on this subject. we take from The
Year ROOk.

best number we have issued this year.
In its news features it will be absolutely
unrivalIed. and as for miscellaneous mat
ter and specialties we promise our readers

something of which we have a right to
be proud and we mean to show our appre-
cation of the favor of the public by
making it better and better.
All of our issues are prospecting; all have
larger calculations than ever before, but
recognizing the fact that the Sunday pa
per is more thoroughly read and by greater
numbers of persons than any other, we
feel justified in spending much extra work
and money on it.
Patrons will find to-morrow's paper
crowded with all that is latest and bright
est in the social, literary, religious, fnan-
cial, labor, and political world.
