Ii is sheer nonsense for the Indians to ask

government must not permit it, and no
civilized people can blame the government

be a blotch on North American civiliza-

provocation at all, sometimes; and again,

savage nature revived, and have lost all
their civilization. If this thing continues

OKLAHOMA AND DIVORCE.

The sudden annulmenJ by the supreme
court Of Oklahoma of over 400
divorces, which have been granted to
unhappy husbands or wives by the pro-
bate judges of the territory since March
last, says the Philadelphia Record, will
undoubtedly strike confusion to a
number of newly established homes
throughout the land. The majority of
the matrimonially infelicitous persons,
who took advantage of Oklahoma's gem
crosby in granting DEGREES of divorce for
any of thirteen causes after a residence
there of ninety days, were speedily
Joined again in that wrongly
styled ''worl1-without--en bar
gain" of marriage. Divorce with them
meant simply relay station, where they
change partners. They are now con-
fronted with the horrible crime of
bigamy, while their second mates and
spouses will find it quite difficult to de-
termine what status they occupy in the
eyes of society and the law.
Probably no feature of the social sys-
tem Is more in need of the iudicious and
wise supervision of the courts than this
painful necessity of modern civilization.
divorce; and probably there Is no fea-
ture OF the law which is in such heller
SHELTER and unworthy shape upon
the statute books of the various states of
the Union. The sacredness of marriage
is actually imperiled by the disgraceful
lack of unanlmity which sets state
against state in competitive promotion
of family incompatibility and discord.
The Oklahoma incident is one of those
queer episodes which would be exclaim-
ed upon. as ridiculous if employed in
novel Every state in the Union should
send delegate commissioners to the uni
form legislation conventions and thus
aid in abolIshing this national disgrace.

TOO MANY BARGAINS.

The Kansas City Times is pumping
wind into their real estate market bv
dwelling upon the great number of bar
gains offered, but forgets to say that
most of the cheap property is being sold
by the sheriff. This bargain racket
proves too much. The investor will
soon learn by reading such boomers
stuff that the proportion of property of
fered for sale at cut-throat prices is too
great to encourage present investment.
He will naturally conclude to wait till
the sheriff has worked off most OF his
list. and those who are forced to sell are
closed out in some shape. There is no
encouragement TO buy property and
then compete with those who are forced
TO sell. When bargains begin to drop
out of sight the real estate editor of the
Times can punch up his buyers, but he
gives the snap away in talking about
so many golden opportunities.

NATIONS cAN BE INcAuT1oUs.

The reunion at Pittsburg is important
and impressive because majority, and
a great majority, of the men who are
taking part are old men. The last ten
years has added much to the old
soldiers age-much more than the
twenty years previous did. They are
getting old and bent. They are losing
that wonderful vigor of body which
made the northern army inVinclble.
Now of all time is when the old
soldier should be honored without stint.
Age itself demands and has always de-
manded respect. When it is coupled
with reputation for whilom bravery
and heroism it is all the more reason
why honor, and great honor, should be
done it.
As America is strange in most things,
and different from the rest of the world,
it does not excite our special wonder,
except in this one thing-that today
when all men should honor the old SOL
der and cheer him, and sound his praises
from enc end of the land to the other
there is, in the chair of the chief execu-
tive Of this land, a man who is un-
friendly to the old soldier. He has sur
rounded himself by- men who are enc
mics of the old soldiers, and men who
scott at their beroism and hinder them
always, instead of helping them. 1t is
strange that but thirty years after the
men of this nation saved it, that it
should be ruled by the enemy whom
they defeated.
The old soldiers at Pittsburg and those
who on account of suspended pensions
can not be there, deserve more honor
than they are getting. No matter how
poor man an old soldier may be today
or how nninfiuential, he was in time
OF great danger truer to his nation than
the man who is at the head of the nation
today.
Patriotism can not be gagged BY
money. 1t can not be paid for. None
of the great nations of the world ever
failed to honor and to reward the men
who fought for the country. Rome and
Greece honored their soldiers above
and scholars and politicians.
England can not respect its soldiers too
much. And yet England is under
crusty, musty old style of government
Throughout the United States there is
a feeling that the old soldiers are getting
too much money in pensions-that some
are defrauding the people. It is voiced
by the Democratic party. And that
party HIS the president of the country |
Today.
1t is terrible thing to contemplate |
that the sentiment which has its leaders !
in Grover Cleveland and Hoke Smith |
should be of any considerable moment in |
this country. 1t is terrible thing to re-
hect that any government should hest |
tate to help the men who gave their !
health and happiness for that country's |
1t is terrible because it /
means that the country which does such
1 thing is not actuated by motives which |
ire high and noble, and is travelling a |
'oad that leads to danger.
