NEWEST
SIMPLE
MARRIAGE

New York, Jan. le.-A man and woman
decided they could not do without one
another and while friends gathered
around. the man placed ring upon the
woman's finger, swearing eternal love and
fidelity.
There was no clergyman or formal rit-
ual. just the spoken understanding be-
tween man and woman. and the friends
went away saying: They are married
now"
Then the couple came away across the
sea, for this occurred In Russia, and for
a time they lived happily In New York as
man and wife. Then came misunder-
standing and separation.
This rival OF the famous "tea cup mar
riage" came 10 light yesterday. Gedemiah
Mildraen, OF No. 3s01a Cherry street, was
brought into the Yorkville court and
charged by Ethel Mldraen. No 52s West
one Hundred and Twelfth street, with
desertion and non-support
He denied that he was her husband
and through interpreters both told the
story OF the ring and the simple vows in
the presence OF witnesses.
Then up stepped a lawyer who assured
the court that under the laws OF Rus
sla, with which he was thoroughly famil-
lar, the two were legally married. And
on the other side stood another lawyer
who also said he was in perfect touch
with Russian legal lore. He advised the
magistrate solemnly that the two were
not married.
Magistrate Whitman admitted that he
was over his head. but would decide the
case on the basis OF Russian laws alone.
He asked the clerk 10 procure copy OF
these laws and continued the case until
Feb. o.
The woman relates that they were
married quietly because Mildraen had
deserted from the Russian army at Kieff
and was afraid he would be discovered
They came to New York In December
and last week the man left her.

democratic friends who read this pa
per do not like our remarks upon the
subject of conservatism and the i'm
possibility of the state being carried
by conservative policy. All we ask
is for them to look facts squarely in
the face. We admire the undying pluck
of the democratic party Every time
there is an election it comes up smil-
ing and hopeful and full of fight and
unwavering courage, believing that
tory. And then it takes it's defeat
cheerfully and prepares for the next
encounter. But facts are stubborn
things. The people follow radical
policies and radical leaders. See how
they believe in Roosevelt and LaFOl
lett and Tom Johnson and Governor
Folk and Tom Watson and Hadley
and other men who do something 1t
is the doors in politics, not the theor-
izers, the opposers, the conserva-
tives, that carry the people with them.
This is the reason that of all the men
mentioned for governor, in opposition
to the republicans, George w. Berge
will make the best run, poll the larg-
est number of votes. He has already
demonstrated that he is a fighter He
strikes from the shoulder. He is fear
less. He is aggressive. He proposes
to put up fight that will mean some
thing for the people. And the people
believe in him. They know he is in
earnest. He puts out radical plat
form. He is trying to get somewhere,
instead of being content with simply
opposing what some one else is try
ing to do. 1t will require not only a
radical platform, but radical candi-
dates to stand on it, to defeat the
republicans this year.

The present is evidently time
when the public demands that can
didates for public Office stand for
something. The old conservative

Mr.. Bryan hoping thus to avert the
menace of the growing popularity Of
aspirants for public Office who repre-
sent more radical views than Mr..

Republican politicians draw the line
at giving up their offices and going
out of business. They love the trusts
and will serve them as long as they
can. But, If they have to insist upon
the denomination of Roosevelt as the
only hope of stemming the Bryan
tidal wave, they will do so. Vain
hope. The president has sinned
away his day Of grace. When Till

signature of William r. Hearst, in re-
ply to message asking for his opin
ion of certain endorsements of William
J. Bryan. In this special article Mr..
Hearst expresses his high apprecia-
alton of Mr.. Bryan and his approval
of what he calls honest endorsements
of him. But he calls upoE Mr.. 2ryan
to repudiate certain men who endorse
him, on the ground that they are not
honest in their support Of him, or in
their support of the principles that
he represents.
We regret that Mr.. Hearst takes
this untenable view of Mr.. B,van's
duty in the matter. We have closely
followed Mr.. Hearst's course from
the time he started his paper in New
York and have been from the begin
ming an ardent personal admirer of
him, on account of the constant sue
cession of worthy and noble deeds
performed by him politically and
otherwise since that time And, we
are certain that Mr.. Hearst will not
allow his adherence of seeing un-
worthy men, time-servers or worse if
you will, rushing under the Bryan
banner and profiting thereby to in
fuence his judgement regarding what
duty and propriety demands of Mr..
Bryan under the circumstances Mr..
Hearst can not afford to forfeit the
esteem of his best friends by de-
handing that Mr.. Bryan act unbe.
comingly towards any class of citi-
GEMS.
The Independent believes that il
voices the sentiment of millions of
the friends of both Mr. Bryan and
Mr.. Hearst when it says that Mr..
Bryan can not single out any class or
portion of the American electorate
for gratutious insult, which it would
be were he to repudiate the endorse
ment of himself or the principles that
he represents, by any class or set
of men. Mr.. Hearst will surely not
fail to appreciate the true situation
and withhold further insistance upon
a demand SO palpably erroneous, and
impossible.
Such a course as is suggested by
Mr.. Hearst, if adopted by Mr.. Bryan,
would work Unreasonable harm to
Mr.. Bryan and the cause that he rep
resents by alternating the friendship
of millions who would resent SO unto
wards an act on his part, and it would
have most damaging effect upon the
instigator of the act as well. Mr.. |
Bryan's responsibility to the millions
of Americas noblest and best men
who have been loyal supporters of
his from the beginning, and to the
other admiring millions who have
come of age since 1896, whose COM
bined votes are to make him the chief |
magistrate of the nation, incapaci- |
tates him for small or unbecoming |
acts. Mr.. Hearst surely will not in
sist that Mr.. Bryan be guilty of any |
act unbecoming his high standing as
the foremost American citizen. Such |
insistence would offensive to- and |
would ALLEVIATE from Mr.. Hearst the |
