"Women's World for October, con-
tains an article written by James Hay
Jr., and purports to be the result of an
interview with President Taft, and enti-
tied IAN Exclusive Interview for 'Wo-
mems World. - The subject matter is
concerning girls marrying" We do
not propose to discuss the subject, re-
marking, however, that if the President
is quoted correctly, in the interview he
discourages girls marrying until they are
Independent, and able to take care of
themselves; and inferentially his view
on the family subject are diametrically
in conflict with the views of his prede-
cessor, Col. Roosevelt. President Taft
is quoted to have said amongst other mat
ter : ITO my two sons ! shall leave only
a good character, a good education, and
a pride in themselves but for my daugh
ter intend to scrape together as much
as can give her, and to train her in
such a manner that she shall take in the
great fact, that for the sake of her own
happiness, she shall marry only when
she chooses. and not because of circum
stances. Certainly, Miss Helen Taft
with the small sum that President Taft
may be able Ito scrape together for my
daughter, - may be enough to secure for
Miss Helen a Duke, a Count or some
other effeminate foreigner. But perhaps
Miss Taft has as much good common
sense as had Miss Alice Roosevelt and
will marry man of her own country.
But why exclude the girl who is not in
dependent, from marrying? Now we
suggest, if the President goes before the
people in 1912 for reelection, he hold no
more interviews with magazine writers,
on the subject of girls marrying. We
also suggest that there be no plank in
corPorated in the Republican Platform
of 1912, bearing on this subject. It would |
be dangerous, particularly in the States
where women have the suffrage.
The happenings from which we make
local news, are much like some person s
experience in a Methodist class meeting.
Il have been trying to serve the Lord
for long time, off ond on, but most of
the time off, - etc. So with local news,
it is off and on, - sometimes plenty, and
sometimes not 50 plenty. Last week we
were surfeited, and on the day our letter
was mailed, and after, other incidents
occurred which we will now take up ser
latin.
Hallowe' en- was observed in Milton
with decency and becoming respect to
the rights of others. Hilarity and gro
tesque costumes were the characteristics.
Many of the girls costumes were short.
But ''gaby" there was hot time in the
old town that night.
On November 1st the three milk ven
ders who deliver milk to consumers in
town, raised the price of that luxury
from six to eight cents quart. Pre-
viOus notice was given that this would be
done on the date stated; and several of
the patrons quit on or before the date.
And those who quit taking the milk be-
cause the milk was too high" are the
persons supposed to have the most money,
and the best able to buy milk or any
thing else. And that is the way to keep
yourself of all 1uxuries, :,
live on two meals day, and spend noth
ing. Many are doing this. :,
