Trial Marriage DULY Free Love

lSiUA NUHEEa0SC Ou1y ESCC AOSCs
Mrs. Parsons, of New York, who
lately raised such Juror and sensa-
tiun among the giddy -four hum
dred.' and the ignorant and silly uf
all classes. has proposed no thing new
under the sun. Her idea Of trial
marriages" has had It's day Ia Amer
lea In three or four Instances, nota-
bly, In the Oneida Society Of free
love-" and its other extreme among
the Mnrmons.
Neither can Mrs. Parsons lay claim
to being the first woman In the land
to advocate lecherous license and
vulgar vagaries. Victoria Woodruff
and Tenny b. Clafiin. both wrote.
and preached. and practised the doc
trines Mrs. Parsons is proposing AZ
azure for the divorce evil. In fact
these theories have been advocated
aud practiced In America and Europe
In u score of instances within the last
century, with the invariable result Of
miserable failure. And every failure
has emphasized the Importance and
necessity Of observing and maintain
ing the sacredness Of the marriage
relations.
Aside from its Divine origin and
command, the organized family has
been found by men in all ages and
in all countries to be the only means
of maintaining law and order, ciyili-
zation and progress. tits the ground
work upon which all Of our boosted
civilization rests, and without It
there can only be degradation, infa-
my and ruin.
The idea that Mrs. Parsons ad-
vances, that In cases where parties
separate after a few months or
years Of trial marriage" that the
State Is to take charge of the or
spring OF such marriage. leaving the
parents to 20 free, Is more than u
thousand years old. Its attempt In
Athens and Greece resulted Ia an
archy, and It's advocacy In this day
and time is simply a plea to make
bastardy respectable. Those who
favor any such lowering Of the mar
riuge tie are lost to shame, and have

"Gwine Back Honnev

AS we waited in the l.. & n. depot at
Nashville for the train, some one began
crying, and an excitement was raised
among the passengers. A brief investi-
cation proved that it was an old col
ored man who was giving way to his
grief. Three or four people remark
ed on the strans,eness of it, but for
some time no one said anything to
him. Then a depot policeman came
forward and took him by the arm, and
shook him roughly and said:
See here, old man, you want to quit
that! You are drunk, and if you make
any more disturbance I'll lock you up!'
"'Deed, but l hain't drunk" replied
the old man, as he removed his tear
stained handkerchief. "Ize losted nv
ticket an money, an OATS what's de
matter"
"Bosh! You never had any money to
lose! You dry up or away you go!"
whats the matter yere?" queried
a man, as he came forward.
The old man recognized the dialect
of the southerner in an instant, and
depressing his emotions with a great
effort, he answered.:

HORSE TRADING PREACHERS.

Some weeks ago Rev. Roster, pastor
3of church at Hull, was deposed from
This church by the general synod on
la charge of horse trading Now the
ldeposed preacher comes cut with a
complete statement that explains the
transaction in detail and shows it to
have been of mid and innocuous
character compared with horse trades
as they average. The preacher may
have had the best of the trade that is
one of the main Incentives in trading
Shorses. but he seems to have let the
sOther fellow do all the trading. Had
HE been judged by a synod of horse
straders it would not only have ac-
quitted him but elected him chaplain

whether the Dutch Reformed synod has
snot laid itself liable under the laws
to prevent restraint of trade

BRACE UP:
Manson Democrat. /

Are we going to be a race of stoop
shoulderd men? One would naturally
think so to look over almost any large
crowd, walk down any crowded street,
or glance at the average male human
being he meets. The man who walks
with his head erect. his shoulders
thrown back and his chest extended,
just as Nature intended he should. is a
rarity and is remarked about wherev-
er he goes. The average man, and
more's the pity, the average young
man, walks as If he were very tired.
His chest is flat. his head leans for
ward, his shoulders stoop and he has
decided tendency to "lop. How diff
ferent 1t would be If men walked up
right and more like the military look
ing men of Europe. How much better
the whole race of males would look If
they carried themselves as Nature
built them to carry themselves. 1t is
healthier, too, to walk like a soldier.
for there is ease in carrying the body,
there is free circulation of air in the
lungs and there is general, all-round
healtthfulness in it that is lacking in
the loafing carriage of the average
man, whether he be farmer. business
man, professional man or gentleman of
leisure.

I.afe Youns's clamorous insistenct
\ that "Cummins should Withdraw is
confession of defeat. The tactics of the

contests in Cummins counties is con-
fession of defeat Desperate in the
q foreknowledge Of C,lmmins' nomination

atoms are ready to use any means OF

Cum,nins out of the executive cha1r
Now that Perkins has practically been
cast into the discard by the leaders OF
& the standpat crowd, every corporation
owned and controlled newspaper in
Iowa is talking of a dark horse and
counseling compromise. 1t is anything
to beat Cumnins. Why? Because
Cummins represents, the anti corpora
ton control movement in Iowa To de-
feat him would be to discredit the men
and interests behind him.
But there will be no compromise. The
battle will be fought out on the lines
4 laid down at the beginning of the cam
paign. Cumnins will. be nominated de-
spite the threats of standpatters to
bolt and hold a runlp convention. And
being nominated he will be elected over
any and all other tickets in the field.
4 Elections are not caucuses.
If standpatters bolt the convention
as some indications point the boilers
will take little except the Hunter outfit
with them. No one believes that Joe
Blythe can carry any but his own
agents out of regular republican con-
vention. True enough, many of these
have been placed as delegates from
the Blythe counties but the people at
home will repudiate their action should
they bolt and will go to the polls to
vote for Cummins. Stouthwe stern Iowa,
where Blythe retains tail hold, could
not be dragged into the democratic
column by Blythe.
However, most OF this boiling talk
is bluff. Blythe as Il bolter would lose

PERKINS AND SHAW.
rSioux City Tribune.

[tSfOuX CITY IrlDune.J
When asked for a statement today
as to whether he understood that Sec
rotary Of the Treasury Shaw is to
speak before the Lincoln Cub at Da-
vetnport tonight, and preach stand
pat doctrine" at the instigation of
President Roosevelt, George D. Perkins
practically repudiated the report, pub
lished in his own paper yesterday
morning, that the president was TAX
ing such an interest in the Iowa cam
paign that he had urged the secretary
of the treasury to Iowa to save the day
for the standpatters.
IF you want to know who is re-
sponsible for the report, you will have
to see the fellows who wrote the copy"
said Mr.. Perkins when asked about
the dispatch.
Then you dsclaim responsibility
for the report in your paper yester-
day."
Il am responsible for 1t II it is libel
GUS I never saw it until 1t was in
print"
Did you write the editorial yester-
day morning in which it was stated
that all question as to whether the
tariff sentiments recently expressed by
Secretary Shaw have the approval of
President Roosevelt, will be removed
by Secretary Shaw's letter to the sec
rotary of the Lincoln Club at Daven-
port" This editorial practically says
that Secretary Shaw comes to Iowa in
behalf of the standpatters and your
candidacy at the instigation of the
president"
well, do you want to know what I
had for breakfast" snapped Mr.. Per-
kins cam I a criminal? Am / on
question me? Do you come to my
office to ask me who wrote that edi-
torial, and you an enemy of mine?"
But this is a big proposition. Your
paper practically says that President
Roosevelt has sent Secretary Shaw to
help defeat Governor Cummins and to
help your cause. Are you responsible
for such statements in your paper?
Do you think the president has taken
any such action?
II tell you I am not responsible for
Secretary Shaw coming to Iowa. am
not responsible for anything which the
Des Moines correspondent of the Jour
nal may have learned. I do not know
anything about the conferences be-
tween Secretary Shaw and the presi-
dent. I do not assume that President
Roosevelt is taking any hand in the
Iowa campaign"
Thus in heated interview Mr.. Per-
kins has practically repudiated the ed
itorial which appeared in his paper
yesterday morning, based on the Des
Moines dispatch, which stated that
President Roosevelt wished Mr.. Shaw
to come to Iowa. and puts the respon-
sibility of the largest fabrication known
in Iowa politics off onto the man "who
