MANY ILLEGALLY MARRIED.
Court Decision Affects New YorkerA
Who Wed Under 10.


More than 5000 couples in New
York believe themselves to be mar
ried, but they are living as husbands
and wives without the legal right to
do so. This condition was brought to
light by a decision in the Appellate
division of the Supreme Court by JUS
tice Nathan Miller.
The ruling held hat even the writ
ten consent of the parents authorizing
a boy and girl under the legal mar
riageable age to wed does not make
the wedding legal.
About 10000 marriage licenses are
issued eachayear at the city hall, and
of this number nearly 2 per cent are
obtained by persons under the legal
age on the written consent of their
parents or guardians, or an average OF
S1,4CO each year.

CITY politics are remarkably quiet at
this time when we are so near election
day. Undoubtedly this is due in a
great measure to the fact that the
saloon question will not enter into the
campaign and the people and those
who are asked TO run for Office and ac-
cept the trust will not be obliged to ask
the question, "What about the saloon
voter" as has heretofore been done.
The question of liquor bonds and their
sureties will not be a bone of conten-
ton in the deliberations of the board of
aldermen and the occupation Of the
temperance people in pounding the
council on the back for accepting
''straw" bonds, is gone entirely.

THE Evening Press says that the
local option law cannot be enforced in
Grand Rapids because the sentiment
in the city is against it. The Press for
gets that this is the age Of law enforce
ment and with the law once enacted
public sentiment will demand and
insist on its enforcement. This is the
way it worked in Ionia city, which
voted against local option by about 300
majority, but no one questions but that
the law is enforced in that city. In
fact the fear of imprisonment makes
the law enforce itself, especially when
backed up by Conscientious public
officials and an honest judiciary, and
certainly it will not be claimed but
that Grand Rapids has these.

san Francisco. March 2i.-The Daily Call this morning says that the Penn sylvania railroad is headed for the Pa cific coast. It is preparing to make it's way to California through the agency of the Santa Fe. and the plan is said to contemplate the ultimate union of the two companies. For the present the Pennsylvania has begun the pur- chase of Santa F'e stock on an exten- sive scale. It proposes to dominate the affairs of the western road and thus acquire through trackage from ocean to ocean.
 It is known that the directors of the Pennsylvania regard any announce ment at this time as premature. as the plans have not progressed sufficiently to warrant a definite statement. There is every evidence. however. that the Pennsylvania lines have taken over the Hartman holdings in the Santa Fe to
