Ceremony Binding Rev. David
son and Miss Clark Ruled
As Valid.
ENDS SENSATIONAL CASE
DECISION BY WASHINGTON, IND,
JUDGE RECALLS THE HIGHLY
coLoRED INCIDENTS WHICH
AROUSED STATE.

Washington, Ind, May 26.-Judge
Houghton. of the Daviess circuit
court, yesterday declared valid the
marriage ceremony performed by Rev.
E. E. Davidson. pastor of the First
Christian church of this city uniting
himself in marriage to Miss Laura
Bum Clark, daughter of former City
Mayor Hale Clark.
In rendering his decision the judge
announced that: Having heard the
evidence and being sufficiently advis-
ed, the court DEGREES that the marri-
age entered into by Miss Laura Bum
Clark and E. E. Davidson. and their
wife are legal and binding, and they
are declared and legally acknowledged
husband and wife,.
Thus ends suit, the filing of which
created a sensation last March, and
was the cause of Rev. e. E. Davidson
rendering his resignation as pastor of
the fashionable First Christian church
and his subsequent midnight depar-
t,ure from this city.
wanted It Public.
When Miss Clark, after having re-
peatedly appealed to him to make pub
lie their secret marriage in the Metro
politan hotel in ST. Louis last Deem
Der, filed suit asking the court to de-
clare the marriage valid and enjOin
him from denying it, the preacher
boldly declared that no such marriage
was ever performed. and that it was a
schem to force him into marriage.
When investigation was made at the
Metropolitan hotel, however. it was
learned that the preacher and Miss
Clark had stopped there December 5,
1908, the date on which the preacher
himself performed the ceremony which
he persuaded the girl to believe was
all right. This was followed by the
production by Miss Clark of marri-
age contract in Davidson's handwrit-
ing. and later lot of letters written
to her by Davidson while she was
stopping at the Grand hotel in Cincin.
nat, in which he urged her For God s
sake to keep secret that st. Louis at
fair" This evidence was considered
SO strong and public indignation
against him SO aroused that to escape
possible violence he drove from the
city at midnight and never returned
although the court tried to get ser.
vice on him. The last heard of him
he was in Toronto. Canada.
The young lady whom the court de
clared to be the legal wife of Rev
Davidson is a cripple, and Is compell
ed to get about on crutches. She has
remarkably pretty face, is cultured
is fine musician and is prominent
member of the First Presbyterian
church of this city. Her father was
twice mayor of this city.

SUPREME COURT RULING

Washington. D. c., May 25.-The SUI
preme court of the United States. in
a case arising from New Albany, Ind,
decided that a state cannot regulate
the shipment of intoxicating liquor in
to its borders. as that is entirely a
function for the government to exer-
else under the interstate commerce
clause of the constitution.

bany shipped liquor into Hart county,
KY, which is dry" territory, and pre-
paid the express charges. The consig-
nee was w. c. Tharp. a resident of
Hart county. TharD was in the habit
of becoming intoxicated and the de-
PENDANTS agent in Hart county knew
this when he delivered the liquor.
The commonwealth of Kentucky
brought suit against the company to
recover asstatutory ipenalty of $50 and
the supreme court tholds against the
common wealth.
Justice Brewer, in delivering the
opinion on the court, said:
Liquor however obnoxious and
hurtful it>may be. in the judgment of
many is recognized article of COM
merce."
The court lays down the following
| as the law on the subject:
The proposition is we'll established
| that the right to send liquors from one
state into another and the act of send
ing the same is interstate commerce,
the regulation whereof has been COM
mitted by the constitution to congress
and hence that a state law which de-
MES such a right or substantially in
terferes with or hampers the same, is
in conflict with the constitution.

spiritless that it would make almost

Neil. superintendent 81 schools. at
Memphis, in an address before the
council Of education Of the National
Educational Association.
Parents and teachers often make
delinquents Of children By falling to
observe the Fundamental things and
processes incident to growth and de-
velopment, said the speaker.
They make children hate books
BY forcing them to read before an in-
terest in reading is aroused. By
rushing them into arithmetic and
grammatical analysis before their de-
Velopment warrants il, they are made
to dislike the subject. Permanent
aversion to school is the legitimate
result Of putting children to work in
studies they are not mature enough
to apprehend. The method Of pre-
sentation, however, often counts as
much as maturity
Studies Are Too Advanced.
The speaker condemned the attempt
to put high school branches into
grammar grades or intermediate
studies into primary grades. and said
that educatiye agencies must look
continually to the care Of the physi-
cal and emotional, as well as the IN
tellectual side Of education.
Society suffers from elements
which are unstable, erratic, shiftless
and Inefficient. These elements cor
rups morals, lead to irrational modes
OF living and swell the hosts Of the
helpless and criminal who become the
real burdens Of society. Unless the
delinquent classes have the benefits
OF the kind Of education which il
adapted to their peculiar needs, they
grow up among US and recruit the
army Of people who never fit any
where. They fill the poor house, the
prisons, the asylums and the Sums.
They produce and reproduce their
kind and bring about a feeling Of
social unrest, which is growing ii this
complex age.
a failure IN the part Of the home
to exercise even and forceful disci-
pine is a moral sin which has but the
curse Of Cain and the stamp of Satan
upon many a promising boy or girl.
When we realize the baneful
working of uneven discipline, grow
ing out Of weak-willed, Inefficient
parental government, we stand ii the
presence Of a great problem. How
can We impress fathers and mothers
and teachers with the idea that weak

The situation in Louisville appears
TO be improving. The Combs faction
of the State Central Committee,
which took the campaign manage
ment of the committees affairs out
of the hands Of Chairman Henry r.
Prewitt during his absence from the
State some months ago, evidently
came to look upon the proceeding in
the same light that everybody else
did, and a resignation of Mr.. Combs
as chairman made an opportunity to
restore the party control to the
proper hands and also to remove the
campaign headquarters from Lex
ington to Louisville. The ticket

Mclean College opens today with
an enrolment that surprises even
the authorities of the school. Every
room in both departments has been
engaged, and still students are COM

making arrangements, however, for
all who come. A larger number of
old students than usual are back and
there are many new faces. The
College is very fortunate in retain
ing all of last years faculty, with
the exception of two. Mrs. Foster
will have charge of the vocal music
and Mrs. Sarah Jordan Pickett will
teach art, elocution and physical
culture. All these things indicate a
very successful year.
During the summer months Prof.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:

The Democratic county ticket is in
many respects the very best ticket
the party has ever put out in Chris
tan county. Some of the nominees
are new men in politics, but they are
conceded by every one to be strong,
in that they are good clean men. not
identified with any faction and whose
characters are above reproach in all
respects. Every days developments
brighten the prospects for Demo
cratic success. The people are tired
Of Republican rule in the county and
many Republicans are outspoken in
their desire for a change that will
end the domination of the Cabal
that has dominated Republican poll
tics for years. To add to the gener.
al encouragement Of the situation,
the Democrats appear to be united
as they have seldom been before in
the support Of the county ticket
The county convention adopted a
platform of principles, the chief
plank being an unmistakable declar-
alton for Flaw and order" which
takes from the Republicans the OPP
portunity to pose as the only
law and order ticket in the field.
The ticket is greatly strengthened
by the fact that the nominee for
Circuit Judge is a Christian county
man who will be the first circuit
Judge elected from this county for
more than 40 years, with the eXcep-
ton of two-year term filed by
Judge Breathitt, a Republican.
Judge Hanbery has given assurance
that he is in thorough accord with
the Democratic platform in his coun-
W and he will receive the earnest
support of loyal Democrats in all
parts Of the county. The Council
ticket was nominated in such a man.
ner that there is no doubt that the
nominees are the choice of the Dem
ocrats Of the several wards and in
city matters there appears to be
no dissension in party affairs, but all
Democrats are in a position to unite
in long pull, a strong pull and a
pull altogether to achieve a signal
victory in November.
