NOVEL MARRIAGE IDEAS.


 We have recently encountered some very curious views entertained in the one case, by two women, and in the other. by a well-known Englishman. Mrs. Leslie Carter, the actress in an in- terview declared that an artist, a for a husband. A husband, she says, is in the way, source of constant irritation and an enemy to the peace full and successful pursuit of the dramatic calling. She considerably adds however. that an actress ought to get married and should have at least one child. This experience gives a depth and range to her emotions with out which she would be incapable of the highest art behind the footlights. Once assured of this experience. mat rimonial and maternal, the husband and child become instantly a burden and encumbrance and should be thrown of if the artist really loves her art.
 At public meeting in New York City a few nights ago. called to debate the propriety of Bishop Potter's bless ing a saloon, one speaker in defending the Bishop urged he had merely recog- nized what every man of sense knew that the drink habit could not be total ly eradicated and that wholesome restriction is the true solution. "Non- sense." exclaimed an elderly woman, jumping to her feet and shaking her c1enched fist in the direction of the speaker. Nonsense. Bishop Potter has lost his senses completely. He has cut his head off. so far as religion goes, as completely as Dewey cut his head off politically when he came back from Manila and got married"
 The Englishman. Is that clever rascal. George Bernard Shaw, who in his book Man and superman" an- nounces that in this life there is never ending struggle on the part of man to escape woman's tolls so as to have leisure and an opportunity to pursue his own distinctive and indi- vidual career The woman on the other hand having the interest of the whole race in her keeping puts her. self athwart the mans path. capti- yates, wheedles. cajoles, conquers and subdues the would-be genius. places a yoke upon his neck and compels him to career of commonplace struggle for bread and meat to support his wife and children.
 Are any of these critics right? Mrs. Carter has boldly acted upon her theories and the public will have to judge whether a discarded husbands presence on the earth has improved her skill as an actress. We confess to being puzzled by the New York womans opinion that Dewey killed himself politically by getting married. Was 1t not rather the swiftness with which the Admiral threw himself at the Presidential office, the boyish gid diness with which he let it be known he was a candidate, that spoiled his chances rather than his taking unto himself rich widow as a helpmeet for him?
 These are deep problems that these artist folk and the temperance reform CT submit for solution. To marry or not to marry? Can 1t be that dull prosaic mankind and womankind will go right ahead. regardless of high art and all that high art implies. and re- gardless of every political considera- ton, getting married and establishing homes for themselves? Let us hope so at least. What would become of us otherwise?

IT WAS A FAKE.

In common with number of other prominent newspapers The Advertiser was evidently taken in and done for by the newspaper liars who got out the report about the analogy between the Creek Indian and ths Igorrotte lan- guages: or. rather. it was made to ap- peas that the languages were almost the same. When we read the alleged visit of Mrs. Myrick. one of the inter pfeters of the Creeks to the Igorrotte village. and that she and one of the chiefs talked freely together, she in Creek and he in his own tongue. the first feeling was one of surprise and increduuty but the story was so cir ,eumstsHtias1ys told that we saw no reason to doubt 1t. At that time we had seen no specimens of the Igorrotte language. and knowing that some ethnologists have found. or claim to have found. that many words and terms in common use among some of ths sAmericsu Indians are almost iden- ticaI with those used by some of the inhabitants Of Eastern Asia. we &C., cepted the Mrs. Myrick story and looked on 1t as quite a discovery.
 Since then we have read such denials as seem conclusive that the story was deliberate and thorough fake. Miss Alice Re0,rtson, who. we take 1t, is a daughssr of Mrs. A. E. W. Robertson, one of tn. sA lest missionaries and best Indian scholars in the Territory, is supervisor of schools in the Creek Nation. She made a thorough investi- gation of the matter and convinced her self that 1t was a made-up story from beginning to end. The supervisor of the Igorrotte village writes that there is no truth in the story and no simi- larity in the languages. and he states further that there Is no proof that Mrs. Myrick ever visited those people, much less talked with them. So far as we know nothing has been heard from the lady herself since the denial of the story.
 But since the story was first pub iished and commented on by The
 
 Advertiser,ew we have seen specimens of the Igorrotts dialect and it resembles Creek about, as much as 1t does plain English. In other words, the like ness Is lacking. And speaking of this story, the. Muskogee q. ID Democrat has this kick:
 Guess there wasn't a mighty howl went up from the Creeks when 1t was claimed that language was identical with that of the Philippine Igorot. now on exhibition at the Worlds Fair! And well there might be, when 1t is known to what class of human formed monster these Igorots belong and their ways of living.
 But the Creeks have better grounds for kicking than personal appearances, for they have good reason to resent the claim or intimation that the languages are similar. The Creek is among the most musical and euphonious of all the Indian dialects of which we have any knowledge. It's native words are easily pronounced, always significant and almost invariably have a pleasant sound. The Igorrotte, on the other hand, is like most African languages, harsh, rough and difficult. To com pare the two Is like comparing the musical. sonorous Greek to the un- couth and tongue-twisting Russian. We can't blame the Creeks for resent ing the insinuation that their language is like that of the Filipino savages.

THOMAS THE JOLLYER.

We can see no reason why Demo- crats should object to the abuse which Tom Watson so freely bestowed on Judge Parker As The New York Commercial. Republican paper says;
 The more abuse that the Populsts heap upon Judge Parker, the more will conservative voters be disposed to look favorably upon his candidacy Such that the Democratic standard bearer is safe and sane" The two Thomases of the Populist ticket have only to keep right on in the way that they have look for the Democratic Presidential ticket.
 It is often difficult to tell just what a politician means, and it may be that Watson wants Parker elected and thinks the surest way to bring it about is to abuse him. If that is his design he is probably doing a good work, for one of the surest means of strengthen ing a good man is abuse from his enemies, or apparent enemies. Demo- crats are sick of Populism and eriti- cism from them Is a compliment, which is likely to help Democracy. But there was one part of watson's speech which is a little surprising. He said
 Do you need proof that the masses are ready to rush to the support of any leader who is brave enough to chal- lenge the right of the corporations to rule this land? See how they rallied to w. R. Hearst. Because he had taken sides with the masses. because he was denouncing oppression and pleading for the rights of the common man there was from ocean to ocean an upheaval in his favor which astounded the professional politicians and strain ed all eff the z, resources of political strategN to defeat that noble hearted champion of the Jeffersonian Democ- racy
 It is singular that Hon. Tom Is the only man who has knowledge of that "upheaval" for Hearst, which as this mouth piece of Populism declares. strained all of the resources of politi- cal strategy to defeat" Throughout the entire country the campaign of Hearst was looked on as a huge joke and we now learn for the first time that the Party had to strain itself to prevent his nomination. Evidently Watson was jollying his hearers.

Up in Tennessee somebody found an alleged snake in a cabbage and at once there seems to. have gotten up a general scare, on the subject. People stopped eating cabbage and barrels of them were allowed to rot because there was no demand for them. Noticing this fright The Charlotte (N. O Observer says:
 Our neighboring State is about a year behind. North Carolina had a scare of the same kind. only with much less effect, last season, a num- Der Of alleged deaths being laid on the so-calledr cabbage snake.

The voters of this county
will do well to think hard be-
fore casting their votes this
fall, as to what kind of a man
they want for the office of
County Surveyor. This is not
political office in the common
acceptation of that term, as it is
an office that requires a college
education, and a clear head.
The democrats are to be con-
graduated upon their selection
of ]. G. Pinney as the man for
the next county surveyor, for
that he will be elected goes
without saying. Mr. Pinney is
a man of scholarly attainments,
a veteran of the war of the re-
bellion. a total abstainer from
the use of liquor or tobacco, and
what is equally az important,
has had nearly forty years prac-
tical experience as a surveyor
and civil engineer. A vote cast
for him will be vote for the
right man for the place.. We
expect to see Mr.. Pinney elec-
ted by a large majority next
Tuesday.

The consensus of public
opinion in Richland county and
in the Fourth Judicial District
is that the Hon. w. S. Lauder
be retained on the bench. His
record commands the respect
and esteem of every honest
hearted citizen in the district.
There ought to be no fight on
the part of any true servant of
the people; because such a
manifestion of unnecessary
hatred may produce the defeat
of his own ambitions. We be-
lieve that the public record and
character of w. S. Lauder is
one that reflects the, opinion
and good sense of the people
who regardless of all attacks
that have been made, have
kept Judge Lauder as their
servant. His manhood is un-

a monument of public approval.
