STARTLING STATEMENT MADE BY A

STARTLING STATEMENT MADE BY A
COLLEGE PROFESSOR BEFORE A
WoMAN'S LITERARY CLUB.
Chicago, October 31.-"Marriage is
the suicide of love-" said Professor Ed
ward d. Monroe of Leland Stanford,
Jr., University before the Woman's
Literary Club of Woodland
'gThe increasing numbeH of divorces
each year in America seems to sub
stantiate this conclusion. In the first
place, marriage entered upon by thou
sands of foolish and frivolous girls and
thoughtless young men without the
least consideration of the question of
mutual adaptability or of congenialty.
overlook is rushed into, and few
parties concerned come back to their
rational senses and realize that there
are grave temperamental differences to
reckon with.
"Before long, sooner than expected,
there appears on the horizon of loves
young dream the dreaded affinity, and
most of you realize what that implies.
1t signifies that the bonds of matrimo-
ny will ere long be ruthlessly shatter-
ed and wind up blaze of glory in the
divorce courts. sEither the husband
or the wife falls victim to affinity
brainstorms and when that fatal men,
tai mainly comes on it Is quite safe to
assume that the beginning of the end
of an otherwise happy welded life is at
hand
1.-THE divorce evil in America is dis
grace in the eyes of the world. This
| has been called a land of freedom.
Well, it certainly is a sweet land OF
| liberty for all who seek to break up
housekeeping. The divorce courts are
rushed to death with the vast amount
of domestic troubles that await the
| pleasure of the law.
cit appears that marriage in this
country is becoming more and more 8
farce; In other words, complete fall
ure. In no other country is divorce
half so prevalent. The remedy for this
grave evil, which the church and the
state are so severe in condemning, lies
in the question that every couple con
templating marriage should consider
and that is the question of adaptability
and congeniality.
"None should marry unless true low
peramental traits are thoroughly un
derstood. A mere passing whim Oh
romantic affection is generally the basi:
of the majority of marriage among the
young in America"

SUBSCRIBING TO PERIODICALS

We have noticed for some time, in
deed for period of about II years, that
the Manufacturers Record" one OF
the journals published in Baltimore,
had taken the burden upon itself OF
telling the Southern people how they
should vote, and the way to vote was
for Republican nominees. Now it has
been developed by Mr.. VIM. r. Hearst
that rifier of Mr.. Archibold's cores
pondence, that the reason of it's faith
and works, comes through the till of
the Standard Oil Co. In reading his
latest batch of letters the following to
Mr.. II. H. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record appeared:
1876 Broadway, Oct. 10, 1902
"Mr. III. III. Edmonds, Baltimore, Md:
"Dear Sir-Responding to your favor
of the 9th, it gives me pleasure to in
close you herewith certificate of deposit
to your favor for $1,000, covering a
years subscription to the Manufacture
ers' Record. Truly your,
"JoHN D. ARCHBOLD.n F
~ have looked up the subscription
price of the Manufacturers Record, :"
Mr.. Hearst said, "and l find that it is
81 year. Consequently Mr.. Archbold
was either subsidizing the Manufac-
turers' Record or he was subscribing
for $50 years. There is no mention of
advertising done by the Manufactur-
ers' Record or any legitimate newspa-
per business performed. The $1,000 is
distinctly termed subscription. l see
that it is definitely stated as years
subscription, so that there is no posi-
bility of it being anything else than a
subsidy"
After reading that letter, MI. Hearst
said: "The Standard Oil Company is
a liberal subscriber of this sort, and
the object of these subscriptions is to
induce these publications to influence
public sentiment in favor of the Stand
ard Oil as the following letter will
show:
"26 Broadway, Dec Is, 1901.
fMr. Thomas 2. Grasty, Care of Buck
& Pratt, Room 1908, No. q Will
liam Street, City:
ssDear Mr.. Grasty-I haveyour favor
of yesterday and beg to return here
with the telegram from Mr.. Edmonds
to you. We are willing to continue the
subscription of $1,000 to the Southern
Farm Magazine for another year, pay
ments to be made the same as they
have been this year. We do not doubt
but that the influence of your publica-
lions throughout the South is of the
most helpful character. With good
wishes, l am, very truly yours,
''JOHN ID. ARCHBOLD.n
This is the first and only letter so far
as the letters ritied by Mr.. Hearst have
mentioned any Staunton man with
Standard Oil money. But whilst that
money is floating about we have no
objection to a little of it coming South,
and indeed right into Staunton. We
do not know the subscription price of
the Southern Farm Magazine, but as
this money So, 000-was to continue
the subscription" to that journal we
should say that the subscriptions of
Mr.. Archbold and the Standard Oil
Company are paid in advance several
thousand years,
