The law is woefully defective in
many ways. Early this spring
Sheriff Marshall made a trip to
Oklahoma, to take in custody one
Munson Henderson, charged with
seduction under promise of mar
rage. Henderson was brought
back here, released on bond, then
married the prosecuting witness
and the case was dismissed. And
under the circumstances the law
says the State shall not be re-
sponsible for the costs. And now
Sheriff Marshall is out all the ex-
penses of his trip-probably 500
or more. 1t is an outrage and the
law should be amended.
There is no reasonable excuse
for any man to live in a town if he
doesn't like it. IL you have no
word of commentator to say for
your town; it's institutions or peo-
pie, emigrate. You won't stop the
town clock by going away. The
church bells will have the same
musical ring, the little dogs will
play Just as we'll and the pure air,
bright sunshine and sparkling
water will have the same health
giving properties. Speak a good
word for your neighbor, if you
can; if you cannot, don't ever
lastingly enlarge on their faults.
If you have become thoroughly
disgruntled move away; go some
where where things will suit you.
The clergymen have discovered
that the two-cent passenger fare
law, passed by the Legislature
last winter, will cause their bless
ing of one-half fare to cease.
Under the old law, the railroads
generously extended, as a matter
of courtesy, a one and a half cent
rate to all ministers. Statesmen
have had the privilege of riding
free, but alas to their future also,
SO far as free rides are concerned.
When the two-cent rate goes into
effect, June 18th, ministers and all
will pay the regular two-cent fare.
A good many statesmen think the
new law is a bad one, not being
able to figure out how two-cent
fare is cheaper than a three-cent
one with a few passes on the side
