IN DEFENSE OF AN INNOVATION

NEW EWSPAPERDOM, of October 18th, has,
4 ' among other queries of like character,
the following, which would have received atten-
tion sooner, but for the crush incident to the all
absorbing interest in the presidential campaign:
"Publisher Middleburgh (Pa.) Posi-
who runs his editorials in doube-col-
unn measure, and whose editorial page
is said, consequently, to present an i'm
proved appearance Can the innova-
tion be satisfactorily defended?n
Nemspaperdom will observe that the PosT's
editorial page is not set in douJhc-column, but in
'ride measure; lie. four columns have been so d.
vlded as to make threc-giving a width of Ia
plea ems-neither too wide nor too narrow. but
"just right" Some Of the advantages are:
|. 1t breaks the monotonv.
3 1t gives the pag an attractiveness it could
not otherwise secure.
3. 1t enhances the value of advertising space.
A. 1t shows that extra pains and trouble are
taken to make THE MIDDLEBURG Posi- distinct
i've from its fellows.
5. 1t is stride toward higher order of coun-
try journalism, which will eventually squech lot
of "poor excuses" who try to run journals with
a shirt-tailful of type and thmbleful of brains,
(as an old newspaper man and practical printer
at our elbow, says.)
q. 1t presents an opportuni to set editorials
in larger type without making unsightly wide
spacing, and a "long metre" poem may be insert
ed without running over part or all the lines thus
tiring the eye, or confusing the reader.
7. To sum up, the Posi- believes that all extra
pains and trouble expended in improving any de-
partment of its eight pages are fully appreciated
and well paid for. And, lastly, the only objec-
ton we have ever heard offered against the in.
novation was, "Rs too much trouble;" but these
objectors have yet to learn that trouble of this
and kindred kinds, is what the patrons of paper
pay their good money for, and have right to
expect. Everything done to attract the eye of the
reader enhances the value of journal as an ad-
vertising medium, and this is what the advertiser
pays his good money for. Why not give both
subscriber and advertiser full value for their good
money? 1t pays!
The simple fact that it requires extra pains and
causes extra trouble to perpetrate an innovation
is the best argument in its favor that can he pre-.
sented. Pains and Trouble are never drug on
the market they always fetch gilt-edged prices;
the Posi- carries an inexaustible stock of them;
veneers all its job printing with them, and finds
more profit in them than in white paper and black
ink At wholesale, retail ard in job lots, mind.

Z THE STATE BAR on
|: MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.

rHE recent discussion by the State Bar
| Association OF the law of marriage
and divorce has called forth the fol-
lowing contribution from one who took
lively interest in the discussion and has
some extended comments TO make upon
the subject.
At the meeting OF the State Bar As
ISOLATION last week the liveliest discussion
of the session was provoked by the paper
OF Judge Davidson, of Ellensburg. on
Needed Reform in the Laws of Marriag e
and Divorce" The paper was schol-
ariy and interesting, giving a historical
view of the subject The chief points
OF interest in the discussion were as TO
the propriety OF the common law mar
rage and as to the restriction OF d.
y0Fce.
While Judge Davidson approved the de-
cision of the supreme court OF this state
abolishing the common law marriage, sew
erai prominent lawyers took issue with
him on this point. Doubt was expressed
as to the Justice of holding invalid q
contractual agreement openly avowed to
all the world as bona fide marriage, and
the opinion was offered that persons max
ing a marriage by contract and openly
admitting 1t should be bound by such
admission as by one made with reference
TO any other contractual relation.
Certainly there Is good legal basis for
holding parties to such an agreement as
n contract marriage. Could each individ-
ual be held responsible for the real re-
CARELESS of their legality. the burdens
Of life would be more equally distrib-
uted. The common law marriage. where

mutual consent OF the parties. yet. in

CHINA SEALS HER DOOM.

There is grave reason to fear that
with the reOpening of communication
between Pekin and the outside world the
story Of an international tragedy will
then receive its telling.
The action Of the Chinese forts in
opening fire on the Allied Fleet at Taku
proves beyond all doubt that the ma
tional hostility toward foreigners has
reached such point in China that the
Government and the native population
will stop at nothing in its qualification.
1t will be marvellous indeed il, shut up
in narrow compass, surrounded by
overwhelming numbers, and with the
allied land forces under Admiral Sey-
mOur forced to abandon the march to
their rescue. the members Of the vari-
GUS foreign legations in Pekin have not
been ruthlessly massacred.
China has created condition Of war
in which She is opposed by all the great
Powers Of the world, and for which she
must now reckon to the full extent de-
manded by international law. If there
has been massacre Of the foreign ele-
ment In Pekin, including the official rep
resentatives of the various Powers, this
punishment will be severe, indeed. The
interested student Of world politics may
well expect In the near future to witness
the definite dismemberment Of one of
the worlds eldest and biggest Empires.
following what now promises to be one
Of the most picturesque wars which the
world has yet witnessed.
