Mnmhers of lhn rrnyolerg, protcetlye as

Members of the Travellers Protective as
sociation have received printed ISIS o'
proposed amendments to the National con-
stitutiou mud by-laws TO lie acteJ upon ny
the convention at Tcrre Jiauic. June :.
Notifications of the laws governing mo
association come before each succt'0lnS
convention and the support oil prominent
officials Is not always sufficient 10 carry
them. Attempts have heretofore been
made to increase the membership fec.
without avail, and doubtless tho present
effort will likewise prove futile, unleHs
grave reasons are shown to cAif, FOR IN
creaslng IT. Travellers Protective associh-
ton members are by education quick
thinkers aud are not slow TO percei'" tho
policy or impolicy of fundamental changes.
The delegates In convention have eyes,
ears and senses opcn TO all things which
NAV prove baneful or beneficial to prog
rcss. and 10 meet approval prqpps.n
change must possess virtue nnu merit III
Itself. They appreciate probably as surely
as most men that in un on there Is strength
and anything which conduces TO larger
membership and binds them IN closer
bonds will not fail TO meet most favorable
CONFEDERATION.
Those who from time to time offcr pro-
posed amendments are no doubt gulneu
by the purost motives and act Tor what
they believe the best Interests Of the as

convention is likely to find II out ana to

MARRIED..

| PsoN-RIMMER:-At z o'clock OF
the evening of the 18th of Feb in tn,
Methodist church in Camden, Mr.. J. J.
Simpson and Miss Tommie RimmeI
were married. Bro. Rreland perform
ing the ceremony. The ushers were
Mr.. Tommie Simpson and Mr.. Walter
Cloves. Attendants. Mr.. j. C. Simp.
son and Miss Alice Barrow.
The church was handsomely deco.
rated by the Mis.es Maxwell and Miss
Bennet, assisted by Messrs jesse Max
well and George Bennett, displaying an
artistic taste which did much credit to
their ideal of the beautiful.
The relatives of the bride and groom
being seated on the left and right of
the altar, ard while the wedding march
was being played by the lovely and ac-
complished Miss Cora Bennett, the
ushers moved with well timed step,
down the aisle and took their position
a little apart and on each side of the
alter, there followed the gallant young
groom with his best man, both looking
handsome. brave and grand, took their
places-the groom under the arch, with
a pretty floral bell swinging from the
center, best man crossing over took
his place beside the minister facing the
groom. Following these the fair young
bride, ''In majesty and grace surpass
ing all, came slowly down the aisle
with modest though stately mein,
leaning upon the arm of her lovely and
charming maid of honor, who, after
placing the bride beside the groom,
crossed over and stood beside the min
mister facing the bride. After the
ceremony the bridal party immediate
ly repaired to the home Of the happy
groom and his most estimable sisters
where most sumptuous feast of tur-
key, cake and all the good things that
generally attend marriage, were in
waiting.
The gentlemen were all attred in
full evening suits, looking as if they
expected to be reverenced as mighty
gods. And "who is there of woman
kind that would not wed one of these
world protectors. il they would only,
ALWAYS look so.
Miss Alice Barrow's dress was of
some soft fabric, lovely sunset pink
finished with white silk ribbon. She
carried boquet of white flowers,
while the brides dress was of some ele-
CANT material OF that soft shade of tan,
so becoming to her especial type of
beauty. She too carried a handsome
boquet of white flowers. fit EN- blems of
her pure sweet life. And
''Since they have chosen to tread the
path of life, with patient, stainless
feet,
Palm clasped to palm,
May their bright home be one where
countless blessings meet,
To breathe . calm, holy calm"

Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio,
is recognized as one Of the leading Nc
Kinley men in the House, and it may
he mentioned lin passing that Grosve-
nor also has u record as hoodoo OF
the first water. However, what
started out to say was that Grosvenor
is making himself the laughing stock
of Congress by the ridiculous claims he
is making for Mckinley. He says that
McKinl sy will receive $40 votes on the
first ballot at the St. Louis convention,
which would be one hundred and sixty
odd more than would be needed to
nominate him. That McKinly is lead
ing is certain and that he will win If
he can make dicker with Quay and
Platt is probable. But it is certain
that he is long ways from having
enough votes in sight at this time to
win upon the first ballot or any other
ballot, and his ability to make trade
with Quay and Platt will depend en-.
tirely upon how much strength he can
control without them. If he has enough
to win with the addition of the votes
controlled by Quay and Plat and will
give them as good terms rs Reed has
given them, there is little doubt that
he could be the nominee.

IN REGARD TO PROHIBITION.

We would say to those members of
the Legislature who favor memorial
izing Congress for the enactment of a
law prohibiting the issuance of liquor
license to parties in cities or counties
where the sale of liquor is forbidden by
State, county or municipal regulations
or statutes, that Senator PETER, of Kan
sas has a bill before Congress propos-
ing to prohibit the collection of liquor
taxes from any persons in any of the
States or Territories of the Unibn ex-
cept from such persons as are author
lied by the laws of the several States
and Territories to engage in the traffic
in Intoxicating liquors.
This bill and many petitions urging
it's enactment into law, have been re-
ferred to the Committee on Finance,
and the impediment to its passage lies
in the fact that one of the chief re-
sources, if not the chief resource of the
country for obtaining the revenue es-
sential to carry on the government, is
the tax upon lixuor, and a very con-
siderable portion of thi. is collected
from vendors in prohibition States,
counties and cities.
That this measure of prohibition
would not prohibit If adopted, is abun-
dainty attested by the fact that our
Federal courts are chiefly employed in
the arraignment ana trial of persons of
all ages, conditions. sexes and colors
arrested for making or vending spirit
uous liquors without Federal license.
1t is reasonable to suppose that people
of these classes, who violate both State
and Federal laws, would continue their
nefarious business under any circum-
stances, while those who now only dis
regard State laws, would not hesitate
to take the additional risk under the
proposed statute.
With such an enactment the FEEDER
al courts would no longer feel the ne
cessity for protecting and assisting tax
gatherers in the prohibition areas, but
on the contrary, the illicit vendors who
are not manufacturers would have the
moral and practical support of the
wholesale dealers and distillers in 9TH
er States, for the reason that it would
only be possible through their conniv-
ance and agency to carry on the liquor
traffic in those regions
Real, genuine prohibition, or in 9th
er words prohibition that will actually
prohibit, is IAN irridescent dream that
none of us will ever realize. The sensi-
BILE and prac ctical thing for genuine re-
formers and enemies OF intemperance
TO do, is to organize for the enforce
nent of existing laws. In other words,
70 prosecute remorselessly and to the
bitter end every licensed vendor who
'ells drop of liquor to miuor or a
aissipated man. If they will do that,
Ill good men will join hands with them
md the traffic will be held within prop
.r bounds. Examiner

KANSAS BREEZE.

During one of the recent windy days
in New York discussion arose be-
tween some gentlemen at dinner about
the velocity of wind Each related a
boastful story of his own experiences.
One of the party hardy westerner,
s2id he was once riding in train
through Kansas.
There was what is called out there
"a light breeze blowing. | had occa-
sion to look out of the window, and the
moment | put my head out off went my
hat"
What did YOU do?" asked one of the
party.
well, gentlemen, several people told
me not to worry, that the breeze was
strong enough to take it there | sort
of wondered what they meant, but that
hat was handed to me by the station
agent at our next stop, about 40 miles
from where it blew out of the window.
We came along pretty fast, tool
guess about so miles an hour. But
then so miles AN hour for wind is
called "A light breeze in that country,
and the hat went by the S0miTe route.
