A Gard 10 the Public

FROM our earliest childhood we have believed
that the human race was all akin, but never
| before did we see it so forceably illustrated as
we did last Sunday, when our usually quiet
| village was startled by the alarm of fire. 1t is
not necessary here to go over those narrowing
details. One and all could see at glance cur
great peril. Almost from the very start il
looked as though we were doomed to lose our
| nome and Its contents. The fire demon was
! already reaching out for us when the good
people began TO arrive upon the scene. Every
one worked with will, even the women and
| children rendered noble assistance by running
into the building and bringing out household
goods even at risk to themselves. All WED
with each other from the oldest to the youngest
IN assisting us In our urgent need. Ministers
OF the gospel. lawyers, judges and bankers
Sunday school children, young ladies and
motherly matrons all came to our rescue, and
While we are broken up physically and dam
aged financially. we take this opportunity to
thank one and all our neighbors for their time
ly assistance. Many ladies we would like to
mention personally-and never before did we
realize that Stafford had SO many lovely girls
and boys for they certainly did themselves
proud lsst Sunday. and we know 1t now If
never before that the human race is all akin.
1t takes calamity often times to develop this
fact, and were 1t not that a human being per
ished in this awful calamity. we would not re
gret its visitation, as we have formed better
acquaintance with our neighbors by Its coming
and now that it is over we feel better toward all
mankind, particularly SO to those heroes who
risked life and limb in fighting the fire demon.
Had it not been for their unseltish zeal and in
domitable courage, we today wonld be without
u home. Again through the medium of the
GUARDIAN allow ps to thank you one and all
for your thoughtful and unsefsh kindness rem.
dered to us in our helpless peril.

Attorney Says all

oiiio6SS NV e'S
Judge John Embry, of st. Louis
United States attorney, thinks he
has discovered that many marri
ages in Arizona and other terri.
tories are not valid. He says:
"Under the federal statutes
which govern directly in Oklahoma
and all other territories of the
United States, no legal proof ex-
lists of any marriage ceremony
heretofore performed. In fact,
every man and woman married in
the territories during the past
eighteen years, with possibly no
exceptions, and the person who
performed the cerem ony, no mat
ter what his calling, are liable to
serve a two years. term in the
federal penItentiary or to pay a
fine of $1,000, or both, for viola
tions Of this act. 1t was made
strict in order to prevent polyg-
amy as practiced among the Nor.
mons.
"Tbe statute provides that, fol-
lowing a marriage ceremony, a
certificate must be prepared by the
person officiating, and that this
person, as well as the contracting
parties, must sign such certificate,
which must be imm ediately filed
with the probate court for record,
and that nothing else is accepted
under the statute as prima facie
evidence that any marriage GER.
emony was performed"
Judge Embry discovered the fact
that the congressional act passed
in 1887, for the purpose of com
pelling the Mormons in Utah to
file marriage certificates, applies
also to all territories, and that
citizens here, in marrying, are just
as liable under that act as were
the Mormons.
Judge Embry states that the i'm.
portance Of this statute would
arise in court when suits were in
progress regarding the legitimacy
of children. the Inheritance of
property and in proving up home,
stead titles In fact, while it
might be far fetched, yet, under
this statute, any deed to land held
by parties married in the terri
tories might be attacked in the
courts on the grounds that moth
ing exists to prove the marriage of
the parties. When the statute
does not annual marriages it re-
moves any proof of such marriages.
A prominent Arizonian states,
however, that Arizona marriages
are in every sense of the word
valid, and that they meet every
requirement of the United States
statutes suggested by Judge Embry
and that Judge Embry's declara
ton that no legal proof of marri,
ages exists in the territories is err
roueous so far as it applies to Ari-
ZOna.

FINANCIAL INSANITY.

OF the coming Of words there is no

tees in bankruptcy. He offered the
defense Of financial insanity" Elk
perts testified that he was inflicted
with mania for spending money and
that he had no idea where 1t went.
The jury rendered verdict Of ac-
uuittal, whereupon the prosecutor
moved that the defendant be commit
ted to an insane asylum. The court
overruled the motion on the ground
that while the man was financially in
sane, he was not legally out OF his
mind. Therefore he went free.
Another phase Of financial insanity,
and one more inimical to the progress

IpAHo,s COOP NAME.

Many eyes are conferred on Idaho in
the trial 81 the labor cases at the
state capital and not only in the trial
Of the cases themselves. but in the
spirit in which the people OF the city
and state are meeting the important
issues raised. The trials are of ma
tionai importance. and many things
are being done to foment public opin-
ion and create disturbance that will
seek to raise prejudice tending to
the belief that 1t is persecution and
not prosecution that Is the animus of
the trials, and that they are not being
conducted with the idea of giving
everyone square DEAL 1t is crafty
ing to know that the world Is thinking
otherwise. as the press of a distant
city testifies in the following. from the
Lincoln (Neb.) Star:
Especially pleasing to all lovers Of
law and order is the state OF the pub
lie mind at Boise, Idaho. where one of
the most important cases in the his
tory of American criminal jurispru-
dence has begun. 1t may as well be
confessed that few weeks ago. II
was feared the opening of the trial
would see much disorder in Boise. pos
sibiy with frequent clashes between
the officers and the friends OF the pris-
oners. =
"But the dispatches indicate that
Boise is as orderly as Lincoln; that
the people of the town almost studi-
ously avoid talking about the case
and that a Socialist orator from an
other city who was asked by the may
or not to make speeches in Boise dur
ing the progress of the case agreed
quite fully with the mayor and said
he would not address any street
crowds.
All of these are hopeful signs, re-
flecting the good judgment Of the
American public when once 1t Gains
itself and, also. the increasing good
judgment OF the Socialist leaders
who have often aroused strong preju.
dice against themselves by reason Of
merry speeches at the most inoppor-
tune times.
1T is TO be earnestly hoped that this
peaceful condition viii continue ir
Boise and that the trials of Meyer
and his companions may proceed de-
liberateiy, with even-handed justict
controlling the court and the COM

1t is awfully gratifying. There have
been several dramatizations made of
"Thelma." with more or less success,
but none of them have yet reached the
metropolis. Miss Mclean. who will be
seen here as "Thelma,'' is credited
everywhere with being most thor
ough and painstaking actress, and
the pleasure win be all ours to well
