REAL LIFE ROMANCE.
A Couple Engaged Forty Years Ago
Married Yesterday.

CHILLICoTHE. Mo-, Nov. IT,
Spencer Gibbons, aged 81, and
Mrs. Penacy Mathews, aged 81 were
married in this city by Justice J. c..
Barckley. The parties were both
born in this county, their parents
being among the first settlers. Forty
years ago they were engaged to be
married, but the lovers had quar-
rel and Mr.. Gibbons went to Cali
fornia, where he remained Is years.
Returning and finding the lady
married he concluded to marry
himself. About a year ago both
lost their companions and the love
of olden times was rekindled with a
happy ending to-day. They are
among our best people, and the
brides parents were the first couple
married in this county.

4 Chance for Mr.. Clark.

The attack made on the federal
judiciary by Hon. Champ Clark Of
Missouri is but a renewal of the
war waged long years ago by
Thomas Jefferson No one has ever
yet been able to advance salts
factory reason why federal judges
should hold office for life. Every
thing that may be said in favor of
this system can be made to apply
with equal force to every other
office-holder in the country, federal,
state, county or municipal. Mr..
Jefferson feared that the federal
courts would usurp unwarranted
authority and eventually menace
the liberty of the people. That he
was right is now evident. The
courts are now a law unto them
selves and but few of them have
any respect for state laws. And
there is every reason to believe that
they will keep on encroaching on
the rights Of the people until they
assume as absolute authority as the
czar of Russia.
There is no reason in the world
why federal judges should not be
elected by direct vote of the peo-
pie for short terms. Six years is
long enough for any man to hold
an office without referring his claim
back to toe people. There is plenty
of first-class judicial timber in this
country and there is no danger of
the stock being exhausted. The
rulings of courts are not so i'm
portant as some suppose, because
they are changed with too much
frequency.
Lite tenure OF office is not in har-
mony with Republican form of
government. 1t cripples the pow
er OF the people and tends to create
despotism. The will of the people
should always be the supreme law
of the land, and not the
rulings of men who are practically
beyond the reach of the people.
Mr.. Clark has an opportunity to
distinguish himself if he will take
up the fight inaugurated by Thom-
as Jefferson. What he said on
this subject some weeks ago has
caused good many people to do
some hard thinking. If the ques-
ton ever comes fairly before the
people, life tenure of Office will be
discredited, and federal judges will
be elected or appointed for short
terms.
