Mary H. Cooper, of Beloit, Kan
sas, has two distinctions. She is
said to be the only woman Judge
of probate in the country, and she
is also said to be the most popular
marrying justice in the state. She
has two decided notions about the
marriage question. One is that il
is the gravest step that people can
take in life, and so she tolerates
no frivolity in the matter, and
should she find pair before her
simpering and giggling, they get
a lecture that ought to enlighten
them. The other point is that she
leaves out the obey in the mar
riage ceremony, making both the
man and the woman promise the
same thing, for she argues that
if a woman does not love her hus-
band she will not obey him, even
though she may seem to, and If he
loves and cherishes her the obey
isn't necessary, because she will
work with him for their mutual
good.
Railroads have been so handy to
hit when something was needed to
hit that we may have fallen into
an error and hit an innocent one
or two. The Burlington News finds
that Governor "Joeo Brown, OF
Georgia, has a word to say in be-
half of the railroads in his inaug-
ural message. Just as there SHAH
be no discrimination against one
citizen in favor of another citl-
zen,' says the new governor, so
there shall be no discrimination
against one species of legitimate
property in favor of other species
of legitimate property. And II
there be found abuses in the handl-
ing of property, we must apply the
law to those who abuse their trust,
instead of impairing or destroying
the income of the innocent; for
events have proved that when we
destroy that income we force out
of employment thousands of Geor-
gia's sons"

Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw has is
sued a booklet in defence of her
son, in which she describes Harry
as "an average young man with a
chivalrous nature, as shown by his
efforts to break up disreptuable
places" 1t is not to be wondered,
perhaps, that to the mother young
Thaw does not look as he does to
the general public or that her
heart may outweigh her head
when she defends him, hut most all
will take exception to the plea
that he is an average young man.
1t seems foolish to keep harping
on the same subject, but the con-
tinuing reports of fatalities on the
water furnish texts ad infinitum
for the sermons. Don't forget to
use a little common sense in these
summer months about going in
swimming when overheated, about
rocking the boat, overcrowding
boats, and avoid all the other ave-
nues to the watery grave.

In the past, upon examination it has

their predecessors methods without
knowledge that they were conducting
the business in an irregular manner.
