people are finally disallusioned and take
up life again with a good deal Of dis
taste for the necessity. A large per
cent OF the secret marriages have their
natural course through the divorce
courts. If the marriage has been pre-
vented for year, the lovers would
have either recovered from their in
fatuation or could have been married
with the approval of their parents and
been spared much that was embarrass-
ing and embittering. The publication
of the marriage license in many cases
would be a ban to such couples. They
would have no desire to face publicity.
Many marriages are kept secret when
man is marrying a woman for her
money, or marries some one of en-
feebled mind for the same reason and
does not wish the world to know 1t, for
fear that they will fathom the reason.
There are those of wide difference in
ages who object to publicity. No one
thinks, however but that in the long
run the license ought to be published.
1t is due to society and is often a pre-
ventative Of suffering and disgrace.
1t is due to parents and to the in
nocent ones, who are always at the
mercy of the unscrupulous and design
ing. There are many cases where a man
has committed bigamy. The marriage
was not published and the matter did
not leak out before hearts were broken
and several disgraced for life. The
law has made no provision for keeping
marriages secret in this county and al
though hosts ask that privilege, 1t is
rarely ever accorded them.

Chinese Minister at London
Discusses Imperialism and
American Policy.

[News-Democrat Leased Wire Service
London, Sept. 1.-Your correspondent
found 10 Feng Lu, Chinese minister at
London, immersed in American news
papers this morning, saying that he
had no news from his home country.
He proceeded to discuss the questions
of Imperialism and American politics.
Imperialism he said is a contagious
disease. Bismark had it in it's most
virulent form. The United States is
now fighting with it's first symptoms,
and I hope the American people will
submit to voluntary innoculation.

A GOODLAW ABUSED.
Public Money Squandered===T
Schools Will Suffer.

Among the many excellent adoptions
made and as part of the generally salts
factory work of the present text book
commission was the adoption of one
thing ly a bare majority of the COM
mission which so far as it goes, defeats
the very purpose of the law and the COM
mission. Reference is here made to the
primary Language Series" All over
this state, in almost every school district
will be found high priced maps, charts,
ETC., unused and covered with dust. For
each one of them some sleek and
tonguey agent has taken from the
district several times its value. The law
contemplated such prices and such Sc
lections as would make this impossible.
Instead this chart, which has no special
merit above scores of others, was adopted
for exclusive use in the schools Of the
state at thirty dollars. This special priv
ilege and this exorbitant price, at least
two or three times what it should be, is
what is flooding this state with travelling
agent who will take from it tens of
thousands of dollars which should 20 to
pay teachers wages and give longer terms
of school.
The average length of term in the
rural schools is five months and the
wages thirty-two per month. Every
thirty-dollar chart purchased means a
month less of school. We wish to urge
upon the school boards of Sumner county
the Importance of carefully guarding the
funds entrused to You. Longer of terms
school and better teachers should first be
provided and next a good district library.
The fact that member of the commits
sion has been employed as general
agert in the state ever since the adoption
and that the state is now being flooded
with agents, all pushing this chart
is sufficient evidence, if there was no
other, that there has been in this instance
vicious perversion and abuse of a good
law. Get the dog ready, set him on the
chart peddler. He may be good man;
but his success means the payment
of money for that which will be little
used, for which an exorbitant price must
OF necessity be paid, and it all comes of
from the school teacher and shortens the
term of school.
