WHAT'S THE NATTER WITH
MATRIMONY.

| A glance over the records in the
auditors Office shows that the matri-
monial market has taken to itself
an awful slump. Twenty licenses
only have been issued since the first
of January, over two months ago.
| This is cause for more than idle Gu
| liosity. Are not our maids as fair as
those Of Athens or do our young
men simply grow more averse to put
ting on matrimonial hobbies?
Twenty licenses in over two
months! Hardly half the number is
sued during the same period of time
i, in 1907. And leap year, too.
This time in 1907 marriages were
of comparative frequence. People
were getting married in those days
| that had never married before, but
now even those that have married
two and three times and were sup
posed to be slaves to the habit, are
setting their courses as far from the
vicinity of the court house as posi-
| BILE.
This, too, in spite of the fact that
conditions are made quite reason
able. All that is required is three
dollars and a girl. Apples are COM
handing tip top prices and as for
girls-just substitute them for milk
and honey and the land is overflow
ing with sweetness. Mr.. Godfrey
doesn't even ask to see the girl; he
takes your word for it. No ques-
tions asked as to her race, color or
previous condition of seryitude.
About the money he is more particu-
lar; he may want to see it, and pos
sibly bite it. On this score he is
gently though firmly insistent; it is
merely his peculiarly. however, and
one that any fortunate young man
can afford TO humor.
The World regrets this state Of
affairs. 1t foresees, unless more mar
Tiage licenses are issued, a time
when Wenatchee will be renowned
only as the home of man-haters and
the scene Of cid maids conventions,
| not a very enJhusing prospect, sure
'ly.
/ Who will be the first to help re-
lieve this appalling, menacing situa-
ton? Who will be first to help
the license clerk earn his salary and
fatten his batting average? He'll
take your word for the girl, but don't
forget your dollars three.

THE PRIMARY LAW

The primary law has been put
to the test. All considered, it
has stood it we'll and proved a big
improvement on the old conven-
ton method.
It has. however, certain de-
fects. Some are remediable; others,
i~rremediable.
We doubt very much the law
could be so amended as to curtail
the expenses of the primary to
the extent that a man of aver
age means could aspire to the
highest office within the gift of
the people and pay his own ex-
penses. 1t is conservatively es-
timated that both Mr.. Sanders
and Mr.. Wilkinson have spent
during the campaign just closed
something like three or four times
what the Office of governor brings
in four years.
Another bad feature of the law
is the right given to the voter to
call on one of the commissioners
to fix the ticket. This opens the
door to bribery. A man is bribed
on condition that he calls for such
and such a commissioner. Accord
ingly, when he offers to vote, he is
watched, and If he fails to call on
the commissioner agreed upon, he
is called to task.
The registration law is also de-
fective. The law should require
that the registrar give every man
who registers a certificate of regis
tration, so that if his name is in
tentionally removed from the reg
istration list, his certificate would
be the best evidence of his having
registered. Lafayette Democrat.

HIS QUERY

A good story is going the rounds
against the members of the legal
profession, says the Tattler. In a
certain community a lawyer died
who was a most popular and
worthy man, and amongst other
virtues inscribed upon his tomb
stone, was this: "A lawyer and an
honest man.
Some years afterward a Farm
ers' Alliance convention was held
in the town, and one of the dele
gates being of a sentimental turn,
visited the "silent city, and in
rambling among the tombs, was
struck with the inscription, "A
lawyer and an honest man.
The farmer was lost in thought,
and when run upon by a fellow
hayseed, who noticed his abstrac-
ton, asked if he found the grave Of
a dear friend or relative, said:
mo; but I am wondering why
they came to bury these two fell
lows in the same grave

HOW WEALTH MAY COME

Based upon what the alluvial
lands are now doing, the undrain-
ed lands of Louisiana-lands to-
day wholly unoccupied-are ca
pable of supporting over 100000
a population exceeding any one of
forty States of the American
Union, and then not counting the
attendant city population. Guilt
waited, as the sugar district Of Lou
isiana now is, and the annual
wealth production would approach
the present value Of the cotton
crop of the United States and ex-
coed by millions the value of
our entire wheat crop. These fig
ures seem incredible, but they are

POLITICAL GOSSIP

The New Orleans Item of the Sd
contains the following political
gossip:
Although the seventeen ward
bosses of, New Orleans have met
and Endorsed virtually all of San
ders' followers who are to partici-
pate in the second primary, it may
be stated definitely that those
candidates who do not enjoy the
favor of the city and state ma
chimes will not withdraw from the
race, but will go into battle with
renewed energy.
The bosses met yesterday after
noon at the ChoctaW Club. Later
the machines masters of strate-
gy" caused to be circulated and to
be actually printed in a daily pa
per a report" to the effect that
all of the candidates identified
with Wilkinson in the recent pri-
mary would throw up the sponge
and leave clear sailing to the choice
of the bosses. This was said to be
understood"
Representative James Bailey,
who ran Senator Paul NJ. Lambre-
mont a close second in the race
for the lieutenant governorshIp,
will not withdraw.
Judge A. Y. Coco of Avovelles,
who made it exciting for Mr.. Wal
ter Guion in the struggle for the
attorney generalshlp, will not with
draw.
Mr.. W. S. Frazee, who received
almost as many votes for auditor
as did the machines choice, Mr..
Paul Capdevielle, still desires to be
auditor, and declares he will leave
it to the people and not to the
bosses.
The ward leaders in their caucus
could not agree upon a choice for
register of the state land Office. It
is said that most of them were in
favor of Mr.. A. w. Crandall, but
that a strong minority was for Mr..
Fred. Grace. So it was decided to
await developments.

The young man suffered a slight

TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS


The postmaster general has issued an order whLh forbids publishers,
under penalty from sending their papers to subscribers Who are more than
one year delinquent.
If the publisher violates the order he must pay one cent postage on
each paper he mails This would amount to hftytwo cents a year: 1t is
more than W e a afford to pay, therefore we hope or subscribers will
remit promptly the amounts they we u.s. according to the statements we
have sent them.
However much W shall regret to drop from u list Of subsib-
es the names of those who arc in arrears with us for more than M year, we
have 10 alternative in the matter. Some of them have been with us from
twenty to thirty years and have paid us regularly. We have confidence in
them, but we cannot afford to pay for postage more than than one-hai or
subscription price. Na do we believe they will expect us to doit.
This appeal to our deHnquents is not dodge to induce them to settle.
It is business matter which concerns u greatly We can credit you for one
year, but no longer without violating the order and being punished therefor.
Delinquent subscribers must respond to this appeal promptly or their papers
or their papers will be discontinued.
Our deEnquents will, we trust, readily see the hardship and injustice the
sudden action of the postmaster general works O the Courier and come at
once to our assistance. If the paper is worth to them one dollar a year they
will will be unwilling for it to be discontinued but if they pay no attention to
this notice we will be the loser and shall pass their names to a suspension list.
