of life and its relations. He felt, doubtless, that
there were obligations put upon him by the
possession of money. He attempted to safeguard
the performance of such obligation by assuring
himself that his devisec should hold her natural
and proper place in society Now. In cold
blooded defiance of everything intended by the
will the heiress goes after the money, and selects
a husband with far less care than she would show
in choosing hat or buying the hind quarter
of pig.
1t would seem, also, that the magistrate in the
case should be Investigated by the proper author

and marriage is a contract which, above all
others. should be permitted to be entered into
only when the bona fdes of the parties is be-

acknowledgment of the want of this essential to
a binding contract. The magistrate who, with
open eyes lent himself and his Office to a dis

growing laxity of opinion respecting marriages.
Divorces. AS they afford an easy way out of a
solemn natural obligation, are bad enough but
marriage without any of its natural incidents

The latest bold faced example of such conduct
ought to give added impetus to the movement to-
ward reform in marriage laws generally.

STIMSON AND RELATIVE VALUES

Henry l.. Stmson. nominal candidate for
Governor OF New \ ork, has at last said some
thing Of interest Speaking at Carnegie Hall,
he declared that was authorized by he Pres
ident TO say:
The New York campaign has moth
ing whatever 10 do with the nomlna-
ton Of "A Republican candidate tor
President III 1912
Ii Mr.. Stinson had stated instead. that his
own candidacy for Governor had nothing 10 do
with the case traa' he would have won an
unanimous public acknowledgement of his per-
Sonal passion for truth.
Bur neither on his own authority nor that of
the President can Mr. Strnson hope to divorce
the New York situation from It's national rela-
tonships. The President may have authoriz-
cd such statement but it is clear that he was
not justified IN dong One man and only
one knows 10 Just What extent the result in New
York will be counted upon 10 Influence the choice
Of the Republican convention and that
man will not speak his mind except in hyperbole.
The general impression among the people at large
Is that the campaign III New lork has Just about
as much to do with the nomination IN 1912 as
Henry l.. Stimson has not to do with the cam
paign In which he holds the exciting part OF an
mated marionctte.
Ii the people Of New York DESTROYS of

national politics, they should get some expression
from the gentleman with the Rough Rider tradi-
ton and the Wall Street experience. who is now
speaking ten times day upon the subject of

he himself Is riding to a lather the captured or

CENSUS AND PUBLIC HONESTY.

Every well-conducted census carries its ex-
amples of strange and short-sghed sort OF
community Misrepresentation. Whole peoples
stand in the light of accurate figures convicted
Of what can be called nothing less than con
eerted conspiracy to defraud. Detected at length
IN the process of Obtaining credit under false pre-
lenses, they forced to undergo the hard pro-
cess of rehabilitation in public respect.
The most conspicuous example of this use
of the census machinery for purposes of decep-
ton has doubtless been the case of Omaha, Ne
braska which in 1890 returned the astounding
population of 1905 as against 3o,51S ten
years previously. This gain Of $50 per cent was
lasting wonder until the people commenced TO
put OF their thinking caps. Then, although the
charge could not be proved, the people Of Omaha
fell under the suspicion of having with long
aud strong pull combined 10 give the Govern
menf false returns. Ten years LATER the census
+ of 1900 discovered in Omaha j,lst 1o2, 552 peo-
pie. or loss of - per cent. The deception was
exposed. The city was ridiculed. lis empty
boasts were dissipated in thin air, and in the
laughter and contempt following upon the dis
covery there was forgotten what was The truth
of the matter, IA very remarkable bit of growth
and progress. We do not know what the figures

returns of twenty years ago, and ii Is certain
that.in many ways the city has in the last decade
paid dearly for its deception.
In this year $ census, returns indicate that the
city of st Joseph Missouri, did not heed the
disastrous Omaha experiment Ten Years ago
It's census returns indicated population in ex-
cess of 100000, gain of more than SO per cent.
This years returns show that it has only 77,4o3
people. loss of more than "a per cent In the
next Ten years it must suffer from the same
suspicion and the same lack of popular faith that
Omaha has experienced. Surely. it would seem
that in census matters particularly, honesty
is the best policy.
In cities as almost without exception in the
ease Of men. the moment when progress first
spends itself is the moment when inevitable de-
terioration begins. What is worse, the appear
