The whereforeness of the Why.

There has been a most unusual in
ertncss in evidence among the mem
bers OF one OF the gayest and most
popular OF the small social clubs now
for some time. No one has seemed
keyed up TO the entertainment pitch
and the lack OF n has caused no We
ry. But is It so altogether innocent
yet unexplainable as II would seem?
Like most everything else in the world
there Is a reason for this social lethar-
gy, so Il would seem. A number, say
FIVE or six, certainly more than sever
al-of the girls of this club have de-
veloped the sewing craze and are i'm
mersed In that intricate and absorbing
pastime these February days. They
have organized a SSewing club "

marriage of parties disqualified to
marry under the statutes of the state
whence they came. A number of cou.
pies from Colorado have been married
in Wyoming this year, it is understood,
who were not qualified to wed in their
own state, the statutes there forbid
ding Divorces from marrying within
a year from the time the decree of
separation was rendered. The matter
was recently brought forcibly TO Che
attention of n couple in Denver. 1t
appears that a divorce had been grant.
ed to n wife, with alimony for a stat
ed period. The husband failed 10 pay
another wife, the union being solem-
nized in Cheyenne. The former wife
invoked the aid of the court in collect
ing the alimony and the judge went
farther than was expected by sending
the man to jail for ninety days for not
paying and in stating from the bench
that the subsequent marriage was a
nullity, as the statutes of Colorado
forbade the husband again marrying
within a year.
1t Is the opinion of the state exam
liner that county clerks have no right
to issue marriage licenses TO parties
who are prevented frorH marrying by
the laws Of the state In which they
reside. The following sections of the
wyoming statutes are the basis of his
opinion:
Section 1860. When application
shall be made for a license the county
clerk shall, by the testimony of some
competent witness, and of the appli.
cant, ascertain the christian name and
urnam OF the parties, their respec.
tive places of residence, that they are
of sufficient age to be capable in law
of contracting marriage, and whether
there be any legal impeachment to the
parties entering into the marriage
contract according to the laws of the
state of their residence, and he shall
enter the facts so ascertained and date
the license, in a book to be kept by
him for that purpose.
Section 1861. If, on such testimony
being given, it shall appear hat either
of the parties is legally incompetent
to enter into such contract according
to the law of the state of their resi-
dence and of this state, or that there is
any impeachment in the way; or if eth
err party is a minor and the consent
hereinbefore mentioned shall not be
given, the said clerk shall refuse to
grant the license"

WYOMING FINANCES.

Wyoming passes into 1908 with a
financial showing little less than phe.
nomenal. The state banks have in.
creased their total assets during the
year approximately % per cent or a
little more than $1,000, 900. OF avail.
able moneys the national banks now
hold SS per cent plus and the state
banks 81 per cent plus. There is due
national and state banks, plus cash on
hand. S6,449,7O0. Wyoming stands in
a class of six western states that led
all the states of the union in the mat
ter of available cash, the state of Colo.
RADIO being at the head of the list. So
far as this state is concerned, the fur.
ry Is now at an end. All the banks of
all the towns of the state are doing
business in the usual manner and
State Examiner Henderson gives it as
a certainty that there will be no fail,
ures as a result of the panic. That is
a record which probably no other state
can show.
Printers Ink, a publication OF note
contains the following from a Wye
ming man that gives a fair,
tive statement OF the financial condt,
tons in this state at the present time:
Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 10 1907
Money is becoming more plentiful in
Wyoming. No banks have failed and
new banks are being organized. The
money stringency is practically over
in this section. Manufacturers are
meeting the wages of their employees
with cash. Wages have not been cut
n with the exception of railroad con.
struction gangs, and shopmen and a
few coal miners, no men have been
thrown out of employment. While
Wyoming is more of a livestock state
than an agricultural community. the
crops of 1907 were good. The e DIE
of ~ pming have money to spend and
are spending it. W. C. Deming, Editor

Chinese Nurse Girl.

The Chinese nurse Is an addition to
the curiosities of the Manchester
streets, says the Guardian of that
city. One of them may be seen any
day carrying her charge, an English
baby, about the streets Of Rusholme.
She wears an embroidered sash on
her head and a Chinese costume of
black alpaca-that is. a plain long
jacket of black alpaca and trousers of
the same~material. She stalks along
on two tiny heels not larger than a
form, and her poor cramped feet,
swathed in rainbow ribbons, are quite
clear of the pavement.

MR.. BELLS LETTER.

Referring to the letter addressed to
the editor of The Republican by Mr..
Bell, we prefer TO let Mr.. Bell answer
himself. On Monday, Feb. IL, 1907,
MIR. Bell was before the United States
senate committee on agriculture and
forestry giving testimony. In the
course of his somewhat lengthy testi,
mony the following appears:
Senator Latimer-We are just try.
ing to find out what you want.
Mr.. Bell-Well, God bless you, then
we are just willing to tell you, If you
will let us. That Is the idea. l simply
want to tell you that you would ma,
made here that the cattlemen want 1t
because the sheep men do not want 1t.
l want to tell you, as a sheep man and
a cattleman and as a farmer, that at
n reasonable price-at a reasonable
price such as we can make n living at.
and a sufficient number of acres-I
am frank to say to you that | indorse
a proposition of this kind. That is, /
indorse 1t If you could just get 1t in
that way and put it in the hands of
men who are big enough in mind, who
are fair enough to do justice to all of
us. The fact of the business is that
/ have learned to like Mr.. Pinchot so
much that | have been accused of fall
ing in love with him and asking to
have him adopt me. Now, | would be
willing to have him adopt me if
senator Perkins-But you are not
willing for him to fix the rate he
should charge you.
Mr.. Bell-Yes, sir; if he will go
through my section of the country and
find out the conditions there l would
be perfectly willing for Mr.. Pinchot
to fix the rate.
Senator Perkins-Then we are all
satisfied. We are going to leave this
to the secretary Of agriculture, to
whom you have paid such n high trib-
ute, after you learned his name Qaugh.
teri, and he is going to bring our
friend Mr.. Pinchot in to assist him in
advising You as to the rate o should
pay; and Mr.. Pinchot Is going to ask
you and your neighbors what is right,
and then he will draw his own judg.
ment and conclusions.
"Mr. Bell-Well, Mr.. Pinchot has
been fair to our particular part of the
country"
Now, if anything can be deduced
from the foregoing testimony, it is
that Mr.. Bell less than one year ago
favored Mr.. Pinchot's leasing policy
in the forest reserves; that he had
such a high regard for Mr.. Pinchut
that he was willing to leave the fixing
of the rate to his judgment and that
MIR. PINCHOT HAS BEEN FAIR TO
OUR PARTICULAR PART OF THE
COUNTRY"

Mr.. Bell in Washington.

SettIinu New Zealand.

New Zealand, which has been ere
ated a dominion, was first discovered
by Tasman, the Dutch navigator, in
1912, but it was hardly known prior to
the visits of Capt. Cook, who, in 1853
and subsequent years, sailed round the
islands, and surveyed the coasts. The
first European settlement there dates
from 1914, and the first systematic
colonization from 1888. In 1910 Eng
land proclaimed her dominion over
the islands. In 1852 a constitutional
form Of government was established.
