A arArrrR OF CLANS.

They've got a new legal compiled
ton In Meine. 1t Is not about pro-
hibition, but about CLANS, ana clans
be It remarked. are an important as
set in portions Of New England. It
seems from what we have learned OF
the matter that Mr.. Cushing had a
clam beach in connection with his
land. and 8 Mr.. Peabody also owns
q clam beach near by. 1t appears,
further, that Mr.. Peabody went clam
digging and either purposely or In
advertentIy get over the line ana ap-
propriated some of the Cushing she'll
fish. Naturally. this was not salts
factory TO Cushing and he according
ly prosecuted Peabody for trespass
and other things, including the illegal
digging Of clans.
Well, to make q long story short,
the matter finally got to Names high
est law court and Mr.. Peabody was
acquitted. The opinion of the court
was delivered by Mr.. Justice white
house, who set forth the law in the
case as the court defines 1t.
EFT is a wen settled principle Of the
common law" he says, ''that the fish
in the waters Of a state-lncluding
the sea within its limlts--as well as
the game in its forests belong to the
people OF the state in their collective
sovereign capacity. It has also been
expressly held in this state that she'll
Notwithstanding the digging Of
clams--are embraced in the common
right Of the people to fish in the
sea- That is the law. and the plain
inference Is that anybody in Maine
can dig CLAIMS wherever they are to be
found. Mr.. Cushing. we learn. was
acting under the terms of an ordinance
Of the town to which he belongs. but
the court held that while the State
could regulate clam digging a town
could not. This leaves Mr.. Cushing
up in the air. so to speak, and unless
he adopts the ways Of the might
riders" he may see his clam crop
gathered and devoured by all who care
to dig them. It's hard on Cushing.
but law is law. even in Maine. unless
it refers to prohibition.

The South is land of flowers and

be found In our section which could

field of forgetfulness But 1t Is not
yet too late to save much Of this valu-

search and historical writing. The
schools can do more than any other
agency toward the preservation OF the
history Of this section. 4 y to oe

Our Clay County contemporary is
correct as to the Importance OF teach
ing and studying the history OF our
own section. whether 1t is entirely sc
curate in what 1t says about the ab-
senee of such teaching. Combining our
argument to our own State alone there
is no excuse for the school children
growing up without a proper know
ledge of Alabama history. There 10
more than one history of the state,
but II they are not taught "a the
schools 1t is the fault OF the teachers
ana school authorities. History OF
some kind forms part of the curri-
culunh of most. II not all. the public
schools Of the State. and while gem
eral history should not be neglected
it certainly should not displace that
OF our own State.
Alabama is rich in material for his.
tory, whether we deal with it's antIqui-
ties. it's natural resources or with
strictly historical events, and that his
tory should be made familiar to all,
and especially the young OF both sexes.
Whether we speak Of the powerful IN
dian tribes who once Iorded 1t over
the soil, OF the hardy pioneers who
began the work OF civilization or OF
those who advanced that work aad
made OF the Territory a great ana
prosperous State It is all well worth
studying and remembering. As we
have said, we are not prepared to say
how much or how little OF all this is
being taught in our schools. but we
do know that It should not be neglect
cd by those who have charge OF our
educational work. Let the young
people Of Alabama learn our own his
tory. even II some other must be

All the world loves q lover and will
wish for Miss Glayds Vanderbilt per-
feet happiness with her titled hus-
band, who comes of a distin guished
Hungarian family. II has been said
that American women are republicans
only in theory; that in their hearts
they love the exclusiveness of courts.
the pageantry, the trappings of roy
atty, the pride of rank and title. The
American girl who marries into a
noble" Old World family and becomes
a duchess" or countess" feels just
a little bit superior, doubtless, to her
American sisters who are still with"
out a title or distinction. OF course,
she isn't superior, but women do not
reason that way They would not
transfer their fortunes to Europeans
who have title and often nothing else
II they did not think they were Sc
curing a bargain in social eminence,
as we'll as a worthy and congenial
mate. They draw many blanks In the
lottery of international marriage, but
the tragic. failures of many OF these
alliances does not deter other ambi-
tious heiresses from taking chances
in the lottery.
1t Is be hoped that Miss Glayds
Vanderbilt will never have cause to
regret that she did not bestow her
heart and hand on an American, who,
IL he could not have given her q title.
would have measured up to the stand
ard of the American husband-the
highest of all standards, according to
the testimony even Of foreigners.
