The Matter of Marrying.

A minister of the gospel has written
an article for magazine discussing
the question, "Why Women DO Not
Marry" The caption demonstrates
the article to be IA fraud. 1t is the
statement of "conundrum' that does
not exist, for the purpose or showing
a great deal of sapiency In answering
the question. Women do marry,
though this minister insists that II
they do they frequently put the we'd
ding off till after they are 30. 1t Is
true that a good many of the gentler
sex enjoy single blessedness till they
have reached this "old maid" age, and
some of them remain alone for their
whole lives, but the ladies themselves
will not be offended II the opinion is
expressed that in a great majority or
such instances the postpOnement Is on
account of circumstances over which
the ladies themselves have no con-
troll.
If there are fewer marriages than
, there used to be it is because society
and the economic system have been

sibility of making living has worked
hardship to both sexes. The eXplana-

the courts, as seems necessary to him
in maiantining law and order is sus-
tanned.
Chief Justice Gabbart and Justice
Campbell concurred in the opinion.
Justice Steel dissented.
The opinion of the court was handed
down by Chief Justice Gabbart. Its
main points are as follows:
Powers of Governor.
The governor has sole power to de-
terTine when state of instruction
exists i'll any county of the state. The
courts have no power to interfere with
his exercise of this prerogative.
The governor has the right to use the
military forces of the state to suppress
ansurrectiOn.
He has also the power to order the
imprisonment or killing of insurrec-
tionists if in his opinion that extremity
is necessary.
He can detain military prisoners UNI
til he decides that the insurrection is
quelled.
The courts of the state have no right
to interfere with the military authori-
ties and their handling of prisoners.
They have no power to attempt to
discharge military prisoners.
The contention of the appellant that
the Military prisoners should be turned
over to the civil authorities is charac-
terized by the court as absurd.
The question that the court was
asked to decide was of such vast i'm
portance to the state that seven promi-
nent lawyers were asked AS advisory
counsel to submit opinions.
One of these, it is understood, did not
send i'll any opinion. The other six
split evenly.
