WILL MARRY
DESPITE The OR0ER
Cleveland Cadet viii Take Petersburg
Bride and Department Ogre
Can Go to 3lazes.

WASHINGTON, ID. c. June 3.-The
order of Secretary of the Navy Meyer
prohibiting the marriage of midship-
men of the navy threatened to pre-
vent marriage In Petersburg so
ciety, but IL will not.
Midshipman Hugh r. Van DeBoe,
Of Cleveland, who will graduate at
Annapolis this year. and Miss Mary
Ellen Scott. daughter OF Mrs. Richard
Clark Scott, of Petersburg. will be
married on the 9th of this month.
The announcement of the approach
ing marriage WAS made some time
ago. The invitations were out. anG
many presents had been received.
When the order came il was like a
thunderbolt from clear sky.
II was thought at first that there
would be no wedding bells for years
TO come. but after considering all the
circumstances In family council, the
contrary view was taken, and 1t Is
understood the department will not
interfere.
II WAS contended by the midship-
man groom to-be that he had entered
into contract to do a lawful thing.
and that no order of the department
could be construed to have a retroac-
tive effect. nor to impair the obi.
cation of a contract. both of which
are prohibited by the Constitution.
Amore practical reason was also
dvanced-to-w that the order was
issued mainly because the salary of a
midshipman was such that he was not
justified in assuming the burden of a
wifes support. but that In this case
she would be Independent of her nus
band in the matter of finance. as her
mother is wealthy.
SO there will be wedding. and
the secretary of the navy will not
interfere.
Probably the same contamination
would have been reached had the
ogre at the head of the navy depart
ment been less complacent.

Car, of Babies in Summer.

With the first warnm weather.
youn mothers in tibet city become
much alarmed for the safety of thier
children. and often insist upon hur-
rying away TO the country. There
is no reason for thos. for here are
very few localities in Virginia where
bady must be kept throughout the
entire summer. if the mother will
take a few simple precautions. Neg
lect and foolish treatment kill more
babies than hot weather during the
summer
The baby's food is the most import
ant matter during the summer. In
many cases the badys digestion is
unsettled during the first year or two,
and can only assimilate sertain forms
of food n mother is competent to
decide on this food, but she should
consult a good doctor and abide i'm

weather is felt very quickly by a

Another important point for the
summer is TO regulate the airing and

Where the Money Goes.

OMAHA, April %, l9O9-To the Editor OF
The Bee: IT is being talked around Labor
Temple that II we vote the water bonds
ana pay over S6,S50.OOO for water works
none of IL will be spent here, but will all

so. how are We going to build the extern
sions we have been waiting for and which
would put money in circulation here?
A NORWEGIAN.
Whatever purchase price is paid for
the water works will go TO its owners,
and if we pay over the $6,263 ,295.4s
it will practically all of it go to east
ern investors, as very few of the securi-
ties are held here. 1t is hardly likely
that the owners of the water works, II
they receive their money, will e II
back to Omaha for reinyestment
While some of them doubtless do bust
ness i'm Wall street. to call all wall
street spectators is scarcely fair, eN-
cept that they are naturally looking
for the most profitable returns on their
investment and regard a sale of their
property at the appraised valuation as
a most desirable price TO dispose OF 1t,
They are in court now trying to force
completion of the sale, and, as we have
already said, If voting the bonds brings
them nearer to their money nothing
could be done hat would be more
pleasing TO them.
As to extensions, the present pro.
posed issue of S6, 500, 600 in bonds il

bonds will have TO be voted TO pay fol
the extensions and other necessary i'm
proyements. How much will depend

Prosperity Straws.

The steel trust and all the large in
dependent producers, who together
hold the key to the steel market, have
announced an advance in price. A
short time ago these same manufac-
turers reduced the price and on almost
every hand it was predicted that fur
Their concessions were bound to come
before the trade could resume its
wonted activity. The reduction, how
ever. brought out such large orders as
to demonstrate that had
only been waiting for such an oppor-
tunity to resume construction. These
orders have furnished a basis for the
steel mills to work steadily for some
time to come and the warning of the
present advance, it is confidently ex-
pected, will uncover still more orders
held in allegiance for more favorable
prices.
Another most encouraging feature
is the amount and character of the
imports for the month Of March. The
total shows an increase of $5S 600, 900
as compared with last year, and a cor
respondingly large amount over the
month of February. The character of
these imports is even more encourag-
ing than the volume. The increase is
practically all represented by raw or
partially manufactured materials for
use in the industries, the mount of
manufactured goods being practically
the same as during the previous
month. Nothing but a revival of in
dustry and an increase in purchasing
and consuming capacity could pro-
duce such a result.

COlOrado's Election Experiment.

The legislature Of Colorado, which
recently adjourned. embarked in a new
field in dealing with elections, by en-
acting a law under whose terms the
state is to pay the campaign expenses
Of all parties, in the expectation that
this will put a stop to corrupt cleo
tions and make it possible for a poor
man to run for office.
Its sponsors admit the law is an ex-
pertinent which was passed in an effort
to do away with an intolerable condi-
ton in that state. So far as its pur-
pose is to enable a poor man to make
a campaign, it should aid in a material
degree. though it will never solve the
difficulty entirely. The state pays
only for the operation OF the legitimate
party machinery, the printing of tick
cts, hall rent and other necessary
campaign expenses. The personal ex-
penses of the candidate, such as trav-
cling, board and loss of employment,
which are as inseparable from a cam
paign as the others, must still be borne
by the man who seeks office,
The central idea of the Colorado
law is to purify elections, yet it would
require a microscopic vision to see
how it will accomplish this. The field
is still open to the corruptionist and
the money which is expended for such
purposes never appears in the public
statements of the candidates. The
same old opportunities and the same
incentive for corrupt use of money re-
main. The slow development of a
purified public sentiment and an in
corruptible electorate are the only
sure preventives OF the evils decried.
