"Can you give my daughter the social
position to which she is accustomed?" is
part of the catchism. Perhaps mother
and the girls are right, but there are
thousands Of young men who are still on
the arid side of $40 per. It looks like
bachelor quarters for them.
In California they have law now that
white man can't marry Japanese.
Think of that, And Cinnamon have been
ruled out in other states. China itself
has warned its attaches and other citizens
abroad that if they marry white women
they will be punished when they return
home So far marriage between negroes
and white people has been put on the re-
tired list in 26 states and territories. Sew
eral states forbid the marriage of first
cousins. Licenses are now required IN
every state except New York, New Jer-
sey North Dakota, oklahoma, New Mex
leo and South Carolina. Whereas any
body who looked old enough could get
married in former days, only Arizona now
allows man to marry without his par
ents' consent at the age of IL. only Me-
braska, Maryland and Arizona still give
the girl at t6 chance. The list of mar
rage immunes has been extended by law
until man can hardly marry any one
but an entire stranger. Under the law a
man may not marry his stepmother, his
grandson's wife. his wifes mother, or his
wife's grandmother, even after death has
removed all mpedments 1t seems a

the law does it.
Divorce and bigamy are both in trouble.
The 945 625 divorces in the United states
between the years 1897 and 1905. inclusive
caused a cry for uniform and more strict
divorce laws. Bills are being offered Tor
a national law for uniform divorces. Still
another of the precious liberties of the
common people is to go. No more Reno.
Among bigamists the principal sufferers
are emgrants They are to be cut out OF
a part of their liberty even before they
have had time to become citizens OF the
free land. The United States immieFa
ton authorities are working out system
that will prevent foreign men from pui~
suing happiness from Austria Hungary
and other places to this country, leaving
behind their wives and marrying others
here. Shame. isn't it, how the poor TOT
eigners are imposed on? And. as for the
woman bigamist. only last week iectur-
er in Chicago advocated the tattooing OF
womans chin and lips when she Is

To go along with this back-to-natufe
movement, a club of, New Jersey women

a bill requiring all married men to wear
rings on their thumbs when they appear
in public. Next 1t will be a ring through

An annual appropriation of $2e,oVo,-
600 for five years to improve the post
roads and rural delivery routes OF the
government was urged in the Senate
today by Mr.. Swanson of Virginia
Contending that despite the amazing
achievements in many directions scored
by this country it is notorious that the
United States has the poorest public
roads and highways of any civilized
nation. He said he regarded the
subject as the paramount one before
the American people.
Mr.. Swanson explained that his plan
would open up more than 1oo0,Ooo
miles of roads to government aid that
the states or local authorities would
furnish an amount equal to that APP
propriated by the federal government
and that the total would be divided
among the states. according to popula-
ton. He said the limitation to postal
roads and routes eliminated any cope-
stitutional objections. The bill would
create a road department. consisting,
of engineers and capable officials I,t9
carry out the project. The measure
he explained was modelled somewhat
after the Virginia law. 81
THE federal government" said
Senator Swanson. should delay no
longer to extending. TO the state and
local authorities generous aid for road
| improvement When he federal gov
eminent commences to bear its fam
share of the burden Of improving our
public roads. that day will~mark the
beginning of the end Of bad roads in
this nation. 1t will open a-hew chap
ter in our history, each leaf 81 which
when turned will CLEAN WIFI more
happy country homes better schools
and churches. and larger and
more prosperous rural communities.
Imagination would be poWerless to
picture through the vista of the COM
ing years the increased health aud
happiness, the Increased wealth and
power, and the great moral and ma
terial advance which would come to
this republic upon the Inauguration OF
this great national policy"

EIGHT CENTS A DAY.
Workers' Pay Tn England When Board
 Was a Shilling Week.

Was Shilling Week.
 There was time when a workman sN England received 8 cents a day as an ordinary wage. when skilled ar- dsans commanded 12 cents day and when women worked in the field at such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing. planting beans and washing sheep for 2 cents day, and wise student of the subject has expressed the opin- Ion that the British workman of that day was better off than he has ever heen since then
 That sounds paradoxical. But the explanation is this: The workman who sold his services for cents q day could buy good beef or mutton for l15 cents a pound. Wheat cost him on the average only IS ccnts lN.shol. He could get board for 12 to lG cents a week. The pay he would receive for fifteen weeks services would suffice to purchase supply of suitable food. stuffs, according to the standard of his time Consisting of wheat malt and oatmeaD, to maintain his family for an entire year.
 Under these circumstances 8 cents a uay-increased to l2 cents in harvest ume-was a fair wage and times were good" for the average workman --McClure's Magazine.
