Marriages That Made History.

The marriage of Ethelbert, king of
Kent, with Bertha, the Christian
daughter of Charlbert, king of Paris,
paved the way to Christianity in Eng
land. The marriage of Henry VIII.
with Anne Boleyn was one of the
principal factors leading to the refor
nation. Ethelred the Unready's mar
riage with Emma of Normandy gave
the conqueror an excuse for asserting
his claim to the English throne. The
marriage of Henry |. with Matilda of
Scotland reconciled the people of Eng
land to the conquest by restoring the
line of Cedric, Henry his marriage
with Eleanor Of Aquitaine made Eng
land the first continental power in
western Europe, The marriage of Hen
ry VII. with Elizabeth of York closed
the bloody wars of the roses. The mar
rage Of Margaret, daughter of Henry
VII, with James ". of Scotland ultl-
mately led to the union of England and
Scotland Finally the marriage of So
phia with the elector Of Hanover put a
line of German princes on the English
throne,-St. James Gazette.

MAIL FROM THE
MUD BOTTOM
Of LAKE

A large amount of wetted stun
from the Great Northern wreck has
been brought to Spokane from the
Diamond lake wreck. There were
milk cans, express matter and even
supplies for different stations on
the railroad itself, including postal
cards for use by railroad agents
and employees.
A grim suggestion of accident
was indicated by consignment or
books, on one of which might be
read, "The Catastr-in Califo-,"
apparently a history Of the recent
San Francisco disaster. There was
also a consignment of fancy
moccasins.
AS the mail car had been partly
hauled out of the water, Inspector
Flavin went to the scene to take
care of the government property.
A great deal of registered and let
ter mail, as we'll as many news
papers, were in the mail car. Some
Of this mail has been delivered,
damp and soggy, from the Spokane

WHEN THE LAW

SPANKER

After one gets too old to be
spanked then it. is one comes I'M
der the notice of the police de-

ing from the strong arm of the
law, figuratively speaking"
Ed Usher, Chief of Police Wal
ler's man Friday, has compiled
more figures of the police depart
ment and recapitulation this
morning caused him to make the
above remark.
1t seems that the records show
that only &C boys under 16 years
Of age have been arrested during
the year. From IS to q there
were 2S2, while the worst period
of mans career, according to the
figures, is from the age of 21 to
30, when the police have been
called upon to deal with 1924.
But that is not the worst part
of it, continued Fisher, "for
man never really knows an age
of thorough discretion. Here Is the
record for over 70 when ~ of those
who have reached their three score
and ten have been jailed on many
different charges. From 80 to 40
men are very belligerent and lO49
between those ages were pinched.
From 40 to so there were COS; from
80 to GO, 1854, and from 60 to 70

DEATH OF GREAT FINANCIER
TO MAKE MRS. RUSSELL SAGE !
WORLDS RICHEST WOMAN

Mrs. Sage, it is generally be-
lieved, will inherit the bulk Of her
late husbands fortune, and in that
event she will be the richest wom-
an in the world. Wnhe Sage's life
was devoted to the piling up Of dol
lars, his wife has broader sympa-
thies and in a quiet way has done
considerable charitable work. She
has assisted Helen Gould in some
of the latter's philanthropic enter
prises. Mrs. Sage has held aloof
from high society. She is kindly
woman with an aversion to show
and notoriety, and has found her
enjoyment in her home and in per
sonally contributing to the support
and comfort of unfortunates.

IN CITY

Colonel Thomas w. Symons OF
the engineering corps of the United
States army and one of the fore
most men of authority on systems
of water works in this country, Is
in Spokane, the guest OF Post
master Millard T. Harrison.
Colonel Symons is remembered
by the pioneers Of this country as a
young lieutenant of engineers. He
was in Spokane when there were
but two or three houses here.
1t has been II years since Col
onel Symons set foot in Spokane,
and though he has kept in touch
with the city and its progress
through correspondence and publ
cations, he is agreeably surprised
at the city's growth and spirit. AS
a young man Colonel Symons was
called in consultation for the first
sewer system in this system and
also gave advice as to the first
water system here.
Since leaving Spokane Colonel
Symons has been engaged In sew
eral great engineering enterprises
among which are the mammoth
Breakwater at Buffalo, and en-.
largement of the Erie canal. For
some time he served President
Roosevelt as White House execu-
tive.

DOES CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

States where the death penalty exists
the trial juries have power to COM

The right of the State to take the

question. although, conceding tnc
soundness of the doctrine OF consent
of the governed" as the ultimate brsis
OF governmental authority, 1t must he
admitted that one cannot be morally
held to a contract whereby he consents
that another may take his life. In our
civil Jurisprudence no man can give
another the right TO do him bodily in
jury. Such contracts are always void
as against public policy. But the case
against capital punishment is made
when II is shown simply that Il is uis
necessary. II Is coming to be under
stood that the majority OF human be-
: ings do not refrain from the commits
sion of capital crimes merely through
fear Of being hanged. Every person
, who commits capital crime knows
that, in States maintaining capital
punishment, the death penalty is nj.
fixed to that crime. From a personal
study OF more than 1000 cases, | am
convinced that most crimes are com
mitted by persons who either "a ex-
pect to escape all punishment, or (2)
who, upon the spur Of the moment, are
regardless of all punishment, or (3)
who are governed by cosmic, social or
individual factors which render the
prospect Of punishment imperative as
deterrent agency at the time OF the
commission OF the crime.
