The Sale OfWOmen.

the clergy and the people against
the marriage of Col. Aston is not
grounded wholly upon the fact
that he is a divorced man. In
the multitude Of spoken and
printed criticism there is a strong
note of protest against what is
called 'the sale of q young wo-
man" to man SO much her
senior IN years that nothing but
the fact of his great wealth and
his great social opportunities,
can be taken to account for it.
This protest is, of course, greatly
strengthened by the magnificent
settlement of $1,000, 900 upon the
bride before the performance of
the ceremony. Such an ante
nuptial contract figures that no
romatic attachment figured on
the lady's eide of the engagement.
What Is virtually a sale Of
women In marriage is not a new
thing. 1t is as old as matrimony.
No doubt the cave man and cave
woman Wee ambitious to marry
their daughters to men with the
most hides, or the largest number
of flint arrow heads, and living
In the largest and best appointed
caves. Feudalism and its forms
of. survival have worked for
unions for the holding of titles
and estates, and resulting in
physical and mental blemishes
inherited by innocent people
even to this day. But the con.
science, or had we better say the
resentment, Of the people of this
country has been aroused in re.
cent years, not by the shopping Of
women for wealth., but by the
swapping Of women with wealth
tor hereditary titles of nobility
This is a new phase of salesman
ship in women. Feudalism knew
nothing of it, for then cash had
not broken down caste, and such

still! within the class. The sale
of the plebian woman, Plus the
cash, to the patrician man, minus
everything but title, is a modern,
and we may add, an American
development.
At first we looked upon such
marriages as jokes. We had our
fun with the lords and lordlings,
and fatuously believed that our
sarcasms would brighten others
of our young women from the COL
temptation of such unions. Ii

OPPOSITION TO NEW
 HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Prominent Citizen Has Something to Sax-About Need of Sewers in
 the Town.

A prominent and influential citizen said yesterday, after perusing an in- nocently wcrded story in morning paper concerning the need Of high school building in the town: T see that the promoters of taxation in the town are again at the high school problem. It is evident that the article in question was not prepared by the Stratford correspondent of the paper but came from some other interest ed source here. It is possible that some one has some property they would like to sell the town at a high figure. Now as to the need or new building a few minutes, thought will convince any one who can be conv1nc- ed that what this town needs more than a new high school is a sewer system. If we don't get it soon there will be no need of schools for there will be an epidemic that will. carry off the biggest part of the children here to live The high school does not appeal to the working man. It offers the frills of an education when the ordinary working. man wants ms children to have the genuine fabric, the fundamentals and practical edu- cation. that will be of some use to them in life. There is a suspicion that the grades are moving along much faster than they would if 1t was not necessary to show large increasetsin @they can didates for the high school Bridgeport she's just ap- propriated $400,000 for high school and it will be much cheaper for the town of Stratford to send the few who are really qualified to take such a course to school from which dip lcma means something. It is one thing to turn out large number of graduates and another to have them stand the test with other schools. l
 will stand back of this and if any one wants to know who I am you can give them my name"
