are so badly Infatuated WITH each
other that it is almost disgusting, and
that they be introduced and married
without further delay"
tt is difficult, we say, for us to I'M
derstand how love can be made In
this way. 1t is difficult for us, here
in America, to comprehend how it
would be possible to win the timid,
trusting heart of a maiden by means
of a constitutional amendment or
under the provisions of special
enactment, paragraph 4, page lis, re-
vised statutes of 1902.
Here in this country young man
makes love to his girl quietly and
secretly, and without any assistance
from the upper or lower house. When
he gets ready to ask her if she will be
his wife he does not call out the fire
department or the United States SEN
ate or the police force. He just
turns little pale around the gills,
shutters out something that sounds
like man talking to himself III his
sleep, and falls over the coal scuttle,
while she socks her chewing gum
against the bottom of the chair and
says: "Oh, Henry, this is so student.
We have only went together three
years" She does not say: Henry,
according to the congressional rec
ord, l was wooed and won by Gov.
Bailey, of Kansas, yesterday after
noon by vote of 1T to s, the minor
ity afterward moving to make it
unanimous"
Here in the United States it is grand
free-for-all. No entries are barred
Postmaster generals are not ruled OFF
| the track because of flaw in the
pedigree. All cabinet officers are
looked upon as our equals, and are
eligible to enter for the best we've
got. It's a grand struggle. The tot
tering, but wealthy bank president,
with one foot in the grave and the
other in the hands of his administra-
tor, stands just as good show as the
bright young man who measures of
unbleached muslin and waltZes SO
handsomely.
Everybody has the same chance.
You can marry the girl you love, IL
she'll have you, without injury to the
nation or disgrace to the flag.
The congressman can marry the
chiropodist he loves; the cabinet
member can wed the elderly maiden
in No. 80 spectacles that presides at
the ribbon counter, second floor, third
aisle to right, please; and the simple
country girl can win the affections OF
| cd fof n
ator and lead him in triumph to the
altar without national interference or
popular uprising.
There is no law here greater than.
the law of love. Love brushes aside
all distinctions of social caste and
levels all ranks. You see it every
day.
"Sweet and beautiful millionaire

in play entitled The Hired Mans Sc

and three inches in the air, as near
as can be estimated. Upon alighting
he utters language that may be

And So it goes here. Love runs
things about as it pleases without any
interference from the chairman OF
the committee on foreign relations.
Love sits in the parIor on Sunday
evenings and admires the pictures IN
the photograph album. Love walks
in the sweet cleaning down enchant-
ed country lanes and sees the roman
tic hay growing in the hay field and
the romantic COWS growing in the
COW field, and recites Ella Wheeler
Wilcox by the acre. Love wooes on
the street car, holds hands during the
