Everybody is interested in love al
fair, admits the New York Sun, but
that of Miss Martin Morris and Mr..
Jack Simonson, of Oberlin, Kan, is
new step in the evolution of law.
Morris vs.. Simonson rises to the dig
nifty of precedent that will doubtless
be bound in calf and go down genera
tions as 'l0s Kansas" or under some
kindred classification. Miss Morris
and Mr.. Simonson were engaged, when
Mr.. Simonson moved to Oberlin.
There he met Miss Florence Gilett, a
school teacher, and sought to marry
her, Meanwhile his letters to Miss
Morris grew colder and finally ceased.
Mr.. Simonson then sought to have
conveyed to Miss Morris through his
sister that he no longer loved her, and
WAS going to marry Miss dilett. Miss
Morris Immediately packed her trunk
and, going to Oberlin, proceeded to
get out an injunction restraining MIR.
Simonson from marrying Miss Gilett'
This bold step on Miss Morris's part
has half paralyzed the bar OF the
State. Nobody ever heard OF such a
thing before. Miss Morris's lawyers
vainly tried to get her to bring a
breach of promise suit. That they
could handle, there being numberless
precedents. Miss Morris would not
be persuaded. What she wanted was
not damages, but her young man. Not
having read Belzac, she says that il
Mr.. Simonson can be restrained from
marrying Miss Gilett for reason
able time, she can win him back
again. The lawyers of all sorts regard
the case as legal nut, and seem to
incline to the opinion that the action
is grounded in the common law, and
that Miss Morris will get another Try

Private Fortunes and Public
Distress

In this country to-day there is
one American family whose private
fortunes amount to $274,000,0OO or
considerably more than one-halt the
valuation of the great state OF Iowa.
There are five citizens whose for
tunes average 100000, 600 each 90
with $lO,0OO,O 900 100 with $1,000
600; 200, with $4,000, 600, and there
are millionaires almost without num-
Der. Less than 1000 persons own
twice as much as all the money IN
the country, to say nothing OF the
many millions more that they con
troll Two thousand capitalists al
ready own more than all the rest OF
our 5000, 600 of population.
With these figures on one side OF
them. and million idle men look
inc for work on the other, what has
congress been doing? 1t has been
dickering and trading over a mere
cues ion of taxation, in the midst
of a scramble of selfish men for the
loaves and fishes.
So much for the great question OF
equitable distribution Now let us
look at the land question. Mr..
Vanderbilt Gowns" 100000 acres
of land Mr.. Disston, of Pennsyl-
vania. boasts of his 1000, 900 broad
acres. The Schenley estate owns
2 600 acres within the cities of
Pittsburg and Allegheny. The
California millionaire Murphy owns
an area of land bigger than the
whole state Of Massachusetts.
Foreign noblemen, who owe no
allegiance to this country, are per-
manently absentee landlords, and
spend all their money abroad, own
2l.OOO,OOO acres of land in this
country, or more mhan the entire
area of Ireland. Lord Scully, of
Ireland, owns 90. 600 acres of farm
ing land in Illinois, which he rents
out in small parcels to tenant farm
ers, and pockets his annual 100000
in rents to spent abroad.
Now, while over one-half the peo-
ule of this county are landless,
what has congress ever done with
the land question? Since 1861 it
has given ISL 600 600 acres Of the
