The Hot Stuff

Some time ago the Rev. D. F.
Sellerds certified to the applica-
ton of a couple who applied for
a marriage license, as is provid-
ed by law that where the appli-
cants live more than ten miles
from the county seat, the appli-
cation can be made by any person
authorized to perform the mar
riage ceremony. Probate Clerk
Venable refused to issue the
license. because it was not certi-
fled to before a justice of the
peace. Mr.. Sellerds took the
matter up with the Attorney
General Of the territory, who
ruled that the probate clerk
should issue a license when the
application was properly made
out and acknowledge before a
person authorized to perform the
marriage ceremony. Last month
Mr.. Sellerds forwarded another
application for a marriage license
to issue the license and wrote
Mr.. Sellerds as follows: We
construe the law to mean that
Ministers have no right to swear
parties who desire to make ap-
plication for the issuance of mar
rage license. Under the cir
cumstances we will be compelled
to refuse to issue marriage license
made out before you" The Lib
eral always knew that Probate
Clerk Venable was the hot stuff,
but it did not think until it read
this letter, that he had the nerve
to over rule the Attorney Gener-
al of the territory on a question
OF law. 1t will be noticed that
he does it, and furthermore places
himself in the kingly class, who
are all wise, as is indicated by
the use of the pronoun we. Lib
beral.
