This is everybody's Fair and every
body worth hearing ought to have
a chance to be heard. Anybody
will admit that somebody besides
the ministers occasionally says a
good thing or two, and Hubbard
may be one of these, Besides, as
he says, he is himself a minister of
the gospel-the gospel of work
and he is willing to expound any
day of the week. The preachers
say they do not like Hubbard's
matrimonial eccentricities, and
they will have none of him. But
we haven't heard that Fra Ebert
US will preach on that subject.
Besides, there is Smoot. He is
coming on Utah Day. Is he to be

HHERE EYER YB0DY CAN'T
MARRY.

Indiana has Il marriage license
law that il might be well for legis-
lators Of other states to consider.
Applicants for marriage license in
Indiana have 10 answer good
many pointed aud perhaps peril.
nent and proper questions Besides
exacting statements as TO age,
birthplace, nativity Of parents, etc.
the Indiana law goes further and
asks whether any prior marriages
have been dissolved, and, II so how
and when? Then the contracting
parties are asked il they have any
contagious or transmissible disease
as epilepsy, tuberculosis, etc; also
az 10 their mental condition. An
other line of questions propounded
is whether either party has been
an inmate Of any county asylum
or home for INDECENT persons with
in five years. The male applicant
Is asked il he is able 10 support a
family, and, il so, whether he is
likely to continue TO be able to do
no. If he has no occupation he is
asked point.blank what means he
has to support family. These
questions must be answered and
sworn TO, and the license is issued
only in case the answers are salts
factory.
To many people seeking 10 enter
the state Of matrimony, these ques-
tions will seem impertinent II not
insulting, but since so many per
sons marry VINO are not fit to be-
come parents of children, to say
nothing of making respectable
showing as husband and wife, we
think the Indiana law is good
one for other states to adopt.
Marriage among persons fit to
marry is to be encouraged, ofcourse,
but the chances are many to one
that the person who cannot answer
these questions satisfactorily is not
fit to marry, and that their proge-
ny will "cost more than they come
to."-Portland Journal

Gliding without Gold.

One more proof that all Is not gold
that glitters Is found in the fact that
much Of the gold lettering seen on
signs, and also much of the gliding Of
picture frames, has NJ gold whatever
about 1t. Among laymen the opinion
prevails that all such decoration re-
quires the actual use Of gold leaf, but
the reality is different, and a substitute
that deies detection has been widely
used for some time. The exact effect
Of gold Is secured by using q leaf Of
either silver or aluminium under vel
low paint. The metal backing gives
the required luster, and the paint gives
the required color. This method can
not be used in oil cases, because the
paint is Of peculiar quality and re.
quires putting on with an even thick
ness. For this reason it Is generally
applicable only to fiat surfaces. Parts

judge Dunno in New York

Edward f.. Dunno, ChicagO's may
or-elect, addressed large meeting at
Cooper Union Hall in New York, on
the evening of April 7. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the
Municipal Ownership league Of New
York city. The Associated Press re-
port says that Judge Dmne's speech
was enthusiastically received and that
the recent agitation in New York Tor
municipal ownership added interest to
his utterances. Following are extracts
from Judge DUNES speech:
men of the east, we bring you It'd
ings of great Joy from the men OF the
west. The exploitation of public prop
erty by private capital, with Its at
tendant greed, extortiOn, and corrup-
ton, has had its day in American
cities, but that day is about to end.
Next Monday Chicago starts upon her
mission Of dislodging private capital
from the control of our street car sys-
tenn. She has succeeded in the opera
ton Of her waterworks system, In pay
ing some $38, O00, 900 for its equipment,
has lent $5,000,000 from that depart
ment to the sewer system, is today
giving the cheapest water OF probably
any city in America, and has cash
surplus of nearly 81 100000. She has
SO managed her electric light plant
that she has reduced the cost OF arc
lamps from 1923 to about $54 per arc
lamp per annum. She is operating
both departments as well as her po-
lice fire and educational departments,
without scandal, graft or corruption,
besides cheapening the cost of utilities
furnished to the public. She will have
the same record of success in relation
to her street car system.
"The citizens of Chicago have been
educated up to the fact that a munich
pality can operate any of the public
utilities with much greater satisfaction
| to the people than can the same utll-
| tiles be operated by private capitalists.
They have learned wherever a city in
any portion of the civilized world has
taken over the operation of it's water
works. gas plant, electric light plant
/ or street railway system, that in every
case, when fairly tried, the cost OF this
1 utility to the public has been reduced
the wages of the men who operate
them increased, the day reduced and
more efficient service rendered.
"The only two serious objections
raised during the recent struggle in
Chicago against public ownership OF
public utilities are:
"That it would tend to build up a
great political machine. None OF the
| friends Of municipal ownership in Chi
cago or elsewhere advocates the own
ership and operation Of any utility by

less checks drawn upon several banks
doing business In Manila and made out
in favor, OF a concern styling itself the
Philippine Plantation and Develop
ment company, at last apparently has
been traced to Walter Hurst, who was
arrested by officers from the secret
service bureau yesterday.
"Hurst was located up Dagupan way.
He was brought to Manila, and has
been turned over to the proper author
tiles for hearing. 1t is alleged that
Hurst has just completed sentence at
a provincial JAIL"
And here are two little gems of in
formation relative to our troops in
the field:
Archbishop Harry has come to the
rescue of the American troops cam
paigning in Cavite province, who are
being tormented by insect pests while
living under canvas, and has placed
the 'conventos' in the Cavite towns
at their disposal for quarters.
"The troops have been living in
tents, but the mosquitoes and the ants,
more particularly the latter, have
made life almost intolerable to them
il. some Of the posts. The ants never
let up on them night or day, making
IL impossible for them to sleep and
wearing them out.
TWENTY-FIVE Moro constabulary sol
diers, under the command of Lieuten-
ant Johnson, were landed at Batangas
Saturday night by the coast guard
boat Busuanga, to assist in rounding
up the ladrones in that vicinity. These
Moros are from Siassi, in the Jolo dis
trict, and are fine specimens OF the
physical manhood of the islands, and
are keen for a fight with their lawless
Christian fellow citizens. They are
fine soldiers, and are perfectly at
home in the Bosque, fully as much so
as the ladrones, whom they are sent
against, and there are plenty more
where they came from, and their 10y
atty can not be questioned, as they
have no common ties with the natives
of Luzon."
Things have been going on in that
| fashion in the Philippines for the last
two hundred years. The constant sac
rifice of the lives of Americans over
there and the cost of holding the Is
lands is beginning at last to attract
attention. It is that kind OF folly that
the imperialists rushed us into. The
republicans are becoming very sick
of it, but they don't know how to get
out of 1t.
