SUMMERS VIEWS OF MATRIMoNY.

Prot Sumner, OF Yale, has in effect told
the senior class not to marry. Ninety per
cent. or all marriages he affirms are I'M

his views command wide respect among
those who believe that the state should
foster private industries at public cost
As TO the marriage state Prof Sumner

There is no sensible reason for believing
that nine-tenths Of the marriages are I'M
happy, or six-tenths or four-tenths More
real happiness is found among married
people than among old bachelors and old
maids--a great deal more. whatever pessi.
mistic professors may say TO the contrary.

Improved Conditions.

1t was announced by the Post-Intelli-
gencer some time ago that County
Treasurer Whittlesey had filed with Au-
ditor Evenson his report of taxes coll
lected during the month OF January.
The total amount, as footed up by Dep
uty Auditor Wood, was s145, 1886. The
collections were not confined solely to
1898 taxes, but extended back as far as
1899, and In some instances even farther
This shows that there has been unusual
activity in paying up back taxes.
Although the collection of 1899 taxes
had just commenced. money was fairly
pouring into the treasury, especially
from personal property owners. Only
thirty days from the date OF the receipt
of notices are allowed in which to settle
personal taxes, and the action OF the
treasurer in selling personal property
has caused a decided quickening in the
desire of many to settle their bills with
the county on this score. With the ex-
ception OF December, there has been
steady monthly increase in the
receipts of the treasurer's Office
from October up to and including
January. Christmas caused a falling off
in payments for December, and the rush
in January did not come until well to-
ward the latter part of the month.
These improved conditions, which
show that people find 1t easier to pay
taxes than they did some years ago, do
not apply to King county alone. The
era of good times has made itself felt
in Spokane also. The county treasurer
there announced not long ago that taxes
had been coming In at such a rate that
II had been decided to call in outstand-
ing expense warrants, and thus put the
county practically on a cash basis. 1t
was estimated that these warrants did
not aggregate over $4,000, and on their
redemption the county would probably
be in position to pay cash for its cur
rent expenses. and thus do away with
the necessity for allowing warrants to
draw interest.
These conditions are a good sign. II
means better business methods for the
administration of county affairs: but
more than that, it shows how much bet
ter off people are than they were three
or four years ago, when so many prop
erty owners were obliged to let their
taxes go delinquent. The times are bet
ter, business is better and every COM
seems probable that the prosperity VIII
continue, with no likelihood of a setback

past.

honor to their native land and in the
passing away bore themselves as heroes
worthy of national fame and eternal
gratitude.-vancouver World.
