the city clerk or 1t may not. The
law does not require that it be filed;
it only entities 1t to be filed. On that
point the law is lax and efforts are be-
ing made to have the law changed SO
that it shall require the notary or
whoever takes the acknowledgment of
the contract to file it with the clerk
OF the city within 10 days or be SUBJ
ject to penalty. The law requires
clergyman to file with the bureau
of vital statistics all certificates Of
marriages performed by him within
10 days after the ceremony. The mar
riage contract Is not without other
weaknesses. 1t is true that If husband
and wife agree to disagree or one for
sakes the other, so long as the con-
tract can be produced in evidence of
their first agreement or witnesses can
be obtained to the signing of the con-
tract the agreement remains in legal
force. But If the contract has not
been filed with the clerk or has been
lost or destroyed and no witnesses to
the contract can be produced and one
of the parties to the contract desires
it abrogated there seems to be no re-
dress for the victim.-Pittsburg Dis

of a thousand explosions OF dynamite

What is the Matter
With United States?
Kansas Writer Diagnoses the Trouble Low Political Morale
More Education the Remedy.

What is the matter with the United
States: William Allen White. who
some years ago became prominent by
answering a similar question about
Kansas. undertakes in Golfers Week
ly to tell that country just what is
ailing it. In his opinion the heart and
sist of all its national troubles and
undertaking and exposures is low
morale. If only that disease were at
tended to. thinks Mr.. White. that
health which the very phrase gov
eminent for the people by the peo-
pie" stands for would blossom forth
before. He says:
The reason why the thing modern
~ called graft is found in Americans
is that they have the world-old faults
that rise from clouded moral per-
ception. Only few men in this world
steal and murder and lie with malice
prepense. Most OF the stealing and
numbering and lying is done by peo-
pie who do not realize what they are
doing; they do not see the actual
thing that they are stealing; they do
not have before them the actual body
OF their victim; they do not perceive
exactly how they are lying: and SO in
the subcellar OF the American politi-
cal life the farmer who works a few
desultaory hours on the road in front
OF his farm, and swears that he has
performed his obligation to the state
as transcribed by law. does not see
clearly that he is stealing money from
the state, has made or left unremoved
some mans death-trap, and has lied
into the bargain"
But Mr.. White has remedy The
schools. which mean so much in AM
erican life. are the best place wherein
to work the change in the moral stat
us OF the country. The need, accord
ing to MI. White, is for improved
schools for the children. Z. to teach
them that our government and GU,
civilization are based upon the law
of brotherhood. and that one may live
honestly under our government and
our civilization only in so much as he
keeps the law. not merely with the
brothers and neighbors he sees and
knows. but with those unseen and
unknown who deal with him through
the vast invisible compact which We
call life" OF the farmer above re-
ferred to Mr.. White says:
The same man as honest enough
in d business transaction at the bank;
he is kind enough to his family and
to his live stock: he is truthful in
court and out. But IN his simple first
hand relations with his unseen and
unknown neighbors, through the me-
dunn of the government, this man.
whose name is legion, is crooked and
unreliable. And the attitude of the
farmer toward his road tax. in so far
as it epitomizes the attitude of the

average voter toward his unseen and
unknown neighbors. who meet him
through the agency OF the government
is at the root OF all the troubles in this
government-and in all governments
under the sun. Yet there is much
hope in the situation. For even
though the road represents the state
i, thing to be cheated-the district
school. which sits alongside the road,
is treated as a friend and brother
by the farmer. ALd though he be
childless, the farmer willingly gives
the school the best he has. The moral
vision of the people can see their
neighbours interests as we'll as their
own good in the school, And so all
over the land district schools are hon.
estly and as intelligently managed as
the farms and the stores of the COM
munities wherein the schools are
found. But after one goes beyond the
school district into the county, the
attitude of the citizen toward the
county government often is so care
less that one is surprised at the hon.
esty of those who serve the county
as public officials. When a taxpayer
goes to court as witness it is not
infreQuent to find him charging the
last penny that the law allows. even
though he has not earned it morally.
When he pays his taxes, he is prone
to gloat at ability to cheat the county.
When 4 public road is laid out across
his field the difference between his
valuation to the appraisers and his
returns to the assessors is a source of
merriment' to those who are inclined
to think an oath is binding on an hon
est man."
Mr.. White points out that. if there
is anything like treason" in the SEN
ate. it is the same sort of treason that
is found among the people. and it
will do no good to show it until We
show the people their treason who
made the senators. 1t will do no good
to scold or abuse the people unless
the critics show them the way to the
higher plane.
But. Mr.. White maintains. light is
dawning. Twenty years ago men like
George William Curtis. Carl SchurZ,
and James Russell Lowell were re-
garded as political freaks. Today men
like these are leaders and heroes. Mr..
White says: "A new generation is on
the stage of life. it is a generation
that has been educated in the Ameri-
can public schools as they have ex-
listed since the civil war Even now
the movement for direct primaries is
putting new complexion upon poll
tics" In Mr.. Whites opinion it is
one OF the great movements of Ameri-
can politics. when it is established.
it will take the American people one
step-and that long step-nearer the
real government of the people by the
people. that the people may not per-
ish from the earth"

WHIMS OF NITROGLYCERIN.
Shooters of Oil Fields Often Puzzled
by the Behavior of the Stuff.

The explosion of dynamite in
freight car at Jellico. Tenn. and the
loss of life and property caused there
by. set some of the old shooters Of
the Oil fields to talking.
The oil field shooter handles from
SO to 300 quarts of nitroglycerin for
every we'll. sometimes from $50 to
1000 quarts. He hauls it out to the
we'll in wagon. driving lickety split
over the rocky country roads. over
hills and through the valleys. singing
as he goes.
Sometimes he goes out and never
comes back, as was the case with Jim
my O'Hare, who. after thirty years
experience with the stuff, drove out of
There was noise and that was all.
They buried the four pounds of O'Hare
the next day. The same thing happen
ed to shooter named Ware at Cof-
feyville two years ago, and to several
others.
Its a funny thing" said Winches-
ter. who lost one arm finding out
about nitroglycerin. what the stuff
will do. When you are looking for
an explosion it doesn't happen.
For instance. there was the time
when wagon full of nitroglycerin
got loose in Bradford, Pa. The horses
ran down the streets and the cans
were scattered all over the sidewalks
ricocheting against telegraph poles
and things. But never an explosion.
Then there was the time. right up
here north of Cherryvale. when the
glycerin plants of one of the torpedo
companies took fire. There was more
than 1000 quarts of glycerine.
THE man went out there in the
morning to look after it. He was just
leaving when along came streak Of
lightning and set fire to the thing.
The glycerine ran around on the floor
and out on the ground burning, but
never an explosion.
Then there was another time when
all of us thought we would have some
noise on the Fourth of July This was
up in Pennsylvania. We got fifty
bottles of glycerine and went out on
high bluff. Then we chucked the
stuff down the side. think it would
raise some commotion when 1t hit the
bottom. Nary commotion.
| Then there are other times when
you don't look for it that the pesky
thing is all alive and anxious to ex-
plode and tear up things for miles
around. l remember a good looking
young fellow up in West Virginia in
the shooting business. He was as
careful with the glycerine as could
be. But one morning we found him
in three or four thousand pieces ant

deputy sheriff often has to resort
to strategem to serve the legal papers
upon persons who have been sued in
the courts. Women are the worst
to dodge such service and it is often
difficult to outwit them.
A man who was deputy sheriff
during the administration of John P.
Gilday told this story:
woman came here from st.
Louis to dodge service in lawsuit in
volving several hundred thousand dol
lars. She was followed to Kansas City
and 1t was learned that she was at the
home of relatives who lived in a big
house on the South Side. One after
another. deputy sheriffs went to the
house and rang the bell.
Not in; just gone out
Those were the words that greeted
each officer, and they could do nothing
but go away. Then the persons who
brought the suit in st. Louis became
impatient and offered 500 reward to
any deputy sheriff who would serve
the papers on the woman summoning
her into court. One OF the deputies in
the Office made up his mind that he
would earn the hundred dollars. The
family in whose house the woman
was hiding contained young woman
prominent in Kansas City society.
This was the deputy's cue. He watch
ed the society columns and learned
that the young woman was to attend
a party one night. At 3 o'clock that
night carriage drew up in front of
the home. The driver was in liver,
and the carriage was the best that
could be secured from livery stable.
The deputy sheriff. dressed in evening
clothes and wearing an opera hat,
alighted from the carriage and went
up the walk to the front door. The
young society woman's escort was ex-
pected, and when the deputy sheriff
rang the bell the door was opened
readily by a servant The deputy
walked in without being suspected and
was shown into the parlor. The rest
was as he had planned it. The young
woman had not finished dressing. The
woman whom he sought came into thu
parior to entertain the supposed es-
cort while she finished her toilet. The
| deputy handed her the process and
then excused himself. While she was
recovering from the surprise, he left
the house, and running down the walk
jumped into the carriage and drove
away. With the 500 thus earned he
made the first payment upon a house
and lot, which he has fully paid for
now. 1t was his start upon the road
to fortune"
