Professor F. w. Blackmar of the University of Kansas, has committed the grievous offense of being misun- derstood in his utterances concern ing marriage and divorce, says the Kansas City Journal. When he declared that the divorce evil is not as dangerous in this country as the marriage evil many persons jumped at the conclusion that Professor Blackmar was some sort of moral "muckraker' grooming himself for the lecture platform, after the man. ner of the lecturing cult. He may not have made himself perfectly plain in the brief statement credited to him, yet his conclusion are ob- viously correct.

question that most of the cases or unhappv marriages result from inn pulsive and ill-advised weddings. 50 true is this that it is automatic. The so-called romantic weddings, in which Cupid outwits parents as the headliners love to put it, are thoroughly bad from every stand point. Society itself is largely re- sDonsible for such unfortunate scan- dals by investing elopement with sentiments and condoning silly young people who marry just for the fun of the things. And the ministers of the gospel are not blameless, either. In most instances where runaway couples seek minister, he enters into the spirit of the affair, pockets the fee and asks few question. In Springfield H., the other day young girl with her foolish head full of sentiment was married to a Japanese This couple had tried in effectually three times to get a license, but at the fourth attempt had succeeded With the license they went to minister and he performed the ceremony almost without ques- tion, except to catechise the groom in regard to his views of the Christian religion. It is needless to observe that the Jap had no difficulty in con- vincing the confiding minister that he was a thorough Christian.
 This case would hardly be worth editorial comment were it not a typi- cal one of many and indicates that the ministers themselves are often accessories to these criminal allian- ces which result in the divorces which they decry so earnestly. The bride of the Japanese did not realize what she was doing. She was carried away with the romance of the affair. When such marriages end in the di- vorce courts the good people rise up and denounce the evils" of divorce
 This is exactly what Professor Black mar had in hind If we safeguard the marriages of our young people, ] there would be little "evil' in the | divorce courts. It is not the divorce that is scandal to this country, but
 the happy-go-lucky system of marry
 ing all corners to which our ministers and magistrates are addicted.

VERGATUS
Captured, Ladies and Gentlemen, in

Great P,u,po Tuy,ho

Great Bwana Tumbo.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-A new
animal has been discovered in Brit
ish East Africa by the Smithsonian
African Scientific expedition under
the leadership of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. The discovery was an
nOunced at the institution today.
1t is a hitherto unknown species
of otocyon, to which officials of the
institution have given the specific
name ''vergatus striped.
Some one suggested "Otocyon
Rooseveltus," but it didn't meet
with favor.
The OtOcyon vergatus is small
carnivorous mammal resembling a
fox. 1t is generally buff in color,
and it has been found by Mr.. Gerrit
Miller of the museum staff to differ
slightly from Otocyon megalotis,
which is found further south in
Africa, especially in color and in
the characteristics of it's teeth and
skull. The otocyon is peculiar to
Africa and Is not represented in the
United States, but resembles in col
or the swfiter kit fox of the western
plains, the skull closely resembling
that Of the gray ,OX of our native
fauna.
Comparatively few new forms
were expected from this region in
Africa, as the territory up to this
time explored by the Roosevelt ex-
petition has been pretty thoroughly
examined by British naturalists.

Or C0NNOR?

Not a word could be obtained
from Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Blair today about the friction
which has again cropped out in the
office of the corporation counsel
between the chief, e. o. Connor,
and Blair.
The Press commented on this a

some semblance of harmony had
been restored. The other day the
strife broke out again through the
assignment of the new deputy,
John L. Wiley, to the superior
court and the displacement Of Blair
as advisor of the board of public
works and the city council by Con
nor.
Blair has the ear of Mayor RAFT.
Connor delivered the votes. 1t is a
question of which will hang on.
