BREACH OF PROMISE.
Manner In Which the Law Treats II
In Different Countries.


England Is the best place, from the
plaintiffs point of view. for a breach
i OF promise action. All other coun-
tries seem TO regard with grave sus-
picion any attempt to recover none
tary compensation for the loss Of a
4 prospective husband. and unless the
plaintiff has a very strong case indeed
1t is never worth her while to carry
| her grief into the law courts.
/ In France breach OF promise cases
are rare. for the simple reason that
the law requires the plaintiff to prove
/ that she has suffered pecuniary loss.
/ Now. this is not an easy thing to do
ON the part of the lady. especially In
country where girl without dot
that is, marriage portion-has poor
chance of finding a husband. Holland
and Austria have adopted the French
! system, and the result has been about
the same. Breach Of promise actions
are rare. the injured damsels or their
relatives usually taking the law into
their own hands.
Practical Germany, as might be ex-
pected. has perhaps the best method
for solving this problem. When a
young couple become engaged they
have to 70 through public betrothai
ceremony that ought TO knock all the
shyness out of them. In tho local
town hall the pair declare their affec-
ton, willingness to marry, etc, ending
by signing collection OF documents
that apparently leave no loophole for
escape. But If either party TO the con-
tract wishes to withdraw another jour
ney Is undertaken to the town hall
and another collection OF documen
signed, witnessed and sealed. The.
the authorities determine the question
Of compensation should 1t be claimed.
In this connection 1t may be said that
the man can and often does claim a
solatium for his wounded feelings.
Tho usual award is one-fifth Of the
marriage dowry. 1t IL easy to under
stand when all this Ii remembered
how loath the young people OF Ger
many are to break their betrothal
oaths.
As the law Of italy affords little or
no protection whatever to Tilted dam.
sells or SWANS, 1t Is not surprising that
the stiletto should be the favorite mode
of deciding breach Of promise cases.
The Italian law demands that the per-
son suing for the breach shall produce
written promise 10 marry from the
defendant: otherwise the action cannot
proceed. This difficulty is almost in
surmountable, aud the italian judges
are seldom troubled to adjudicate be-
tween one time lovers.
10 bring an action for breach Of
promise Of marriage against reigning
monarch Is an achievement. but 1t has
been done, and by an English lady.
Miss Jenny Mighel sued the sultan of
Johore, and as there was d doubt
whether the dusky one was actually q
reigning monarch the case was allowed
to come into court, but the Judge quick
II disposed Of the action by ruling II
inadmlssible for the reason referred TO,
and Miss Mighell was nonsuited.
1t Is remarkable that one offhe two
actions which have brought verdlcts
for 10000 each 10 tire plaintiffs should |
haze had for It's defendant the editor
Of d matrimonial paper. The second |
ease was between a well known actress
and the eldest son OF an earl,Loudon
Tit-Blts.

Atlantic City Anarchists

The State Excise Commission has lit
ed the life at Atlantic City II eX-
posed the lawless traffic in the liquor
business on Sunday in that great sea-
side resort. There is no regard for the
Sabbath and the officials make no pre-
ence of enforcing the Law. While
Iudge Trenchard has given a strong
charge to the Grand Jury yet 1.-THE Jurors
are men who have so far ignored the
deplorable state of affairs and the open
sale of liquors continue on Sunday.
While the laws of the State should
been forced, yet how far authorities OF
the State can proceed against the DILL
cicials and the law breakers where pub
lie sentiment is strong against enforce
ment is a difficult problem to solve in a
seaside resort where thousands OF Sun
day s~oiourners want the drinks and the
hotel keepers want the large profits
from it's sale. If the law is not obser-
we'd nor enforced, yet it should be bold

Socialism

! William j. Bryan in his address ON
Trusts at indianapolis OH Tuesday said:
"While the Republican party loses
on opportunity to denounce Socialism 1t
is really the party which has given en-
couragement to Socialism. The funda-
mental principle of Socialism is that COM
petition is bad and that an economic ad-
vance is to be found in monopoly.
This position is endorsed by the Re
publican Party-with a difference.
The Socialist want the public to have
benefit of monopoly through Govern
-ment operation and ownership of all the
e of production and distribution
while the Republican Party permits
the benefits of monopoly to be enjoyed by
comparatively few who have secured
a dominating influence in the Cover
ment.
Concluding he said:
Industrial independence is necessary
to political independence. The free eX-
ercise of the rights of citizenship is i'm
possible when a few men control the
Industries in which millions are employ
ed. God forbid that we should compel
the wage earners of the nation to adj
dress their petitions to trust magnates. -
The Penn's Grove record., 1908-08-28

Henry Watterson, the famous editor
for the Louisville Courier. Journal who
opposed Mr.. Bryan's elections in 1896
and gave a lukewarm support in 1900
says:
We admit a change of heart and
opinion a to the personality of Mr..
Bryan. He is a bigger and a better
man than we thought him. He is en-
titled to the respect of the people, He
will make an entirely safe and sane
than Mr.. Roosevelt, whose bark has
been worse than his bite, disturbing
the county without driving away the
thieves. But, eve if we personally de-
tested Mr.. Bryan we should support
him on the broad issue that the Repub-
lican party has made itself the embodi-
ment Of vicious and immoral govern
ment.
1t is in reality the author of every
evil which MI. Roosevelt has so graph
ically pictured and of which the people
complain so loudly and so justly. There
is not the least hope of reform if it's
tenure be renewed. A change if only
for the sake of change is necessary to
restore the lost balance of party forces
resulting from a domination of nearly
fifty years, hardly punctured by the
two Cleveland terms. After sixty
years of such domination the historic
Democratic party was strong enough
to make its exit the signal for a great
war. The Republicans have been
going the same reckless gait the Demo-
Gratis went. Party leaders spirit, party
interest need to be admonished now
and then by defeat, that there is a Con-
stitution, that there is a people and
that there is a God; circumstances
which, in the exultance of victory and
the arrogance of power, the leaders are
apt to forget.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.
Absurd to Tax Them In a Manufactur.
ing Country-Duty on Cattle.

Absurd to Tax Them In a Manufacture
ing Country-Duty on Cattle.
1t is said hat the Canadian summer
is too short for the thorough fattening
of cattle, and therefore many head OF
Canadian cattle are brought into the
United States, fed through the sum-
mer and shipped abroad. There is,
however, a duty of nearly 80 per cent
to be paid when they are imported.
Without this duty many more cattle
would be brought In and much more
profitable use would be made Of our
pastures, corn and hay. English con-
sumers are threatening to remove e x
listing legal restrictions and import
these cattle and feed them on English
farms, and this may be the result,
Speaking of this situation, the New York
Journal Of Commerce recently said:
Duties on raw materials are an alb
surdity in a manufacturing country,
and the rule has a wide application.
What would become Of the great man.
u~facturing industries of England If she
were to put a tax upon the importation
Of cotton, wool, hides and skins, furs
and other materials? We are trying to
build up industries In which these are
used, and yet we impose duties upon
most of them, except cotton, of which
we raise a surplus for export, and silk.
which we do not raise at all. We make
leather goods for export In spite Of the
duty on hides, but the duty on wool
prevents the manufacturing industry
from growing so as to supply cur W
wants. There is no in a duty on
live cattle for a country that can pro-
duce them as cheaply as any other and
that makes a business Of exporting
meat. 1t is equally absurd to put a
duty on wheat when we export both
the grain and the -four made from 1t.
There are economy and gain for both
capital and labor in turning materials
into manufactured products, whether
for domestic or foreign markets, in
stead of exporting them in the raw
state or making it costly to import
them for our own use."
