THE BANNER MAN"
EARLY Marriages.

where a boy aged Ia years, 2
months and 10 days, was mar
ried to a girl Of IL years.
I think it is about time to call
a halt, and | am going to rise up,
jerk the lines and Gull il. OF
course the people have right to
marry, and 1t IS none OF my
business, but when boy who
gees barefootcd and squasAes
mud through his toes and wears
out his Sunday hat fighting bum
blebees, robs some fond mother
of her precious gal baby it makes
me so all fired mad that I want
to fight somebody with Marquis
Of Gooseberry rules and a six
shooter thrown in for luck. IF
this thing don't stop pretty soon
the next generation will be a
race of scrubs, not two degrees
above mosquito. This short
dress, knee breecnes marrying is
becoming too frequent to be a
joke, 1t is terrible reality.
Nowadays q boy as green as
a gourl growing in g hog pen,
without fifty GEMS seen or un-
seen, is tho first to shy up to
some little doll Of a girl aud mar
ry her. 1t is a spectacle fit for
gods to see d boy sit i'll the back
parlor and beg a slobbery faced
girl with frizzled bangs to trust
her future happiness to him. The
man who owns that female ought
to glide silently into the room
like Il spector from the Great
Unknown and try and induce the
young cuss to go home to his
mother and take u dose o. Moth
err Carry's soothing syrup 1t
that would NOT touch tonder
chord in his jewsharp, and if he
gets excited aud wants 10 pulver-
1ze someb ,ay, or swells out like
a frog and wants to discuss the
tariff, the old man ought t. spit
IN his hands, tie the chap into a
bow knot, pin lunch of for get
me- nots on the seat Of his panta-
looms, and pitch him out of the
back window. Then he ought to
slap the girl silly and send her
out to build doll-houses.,
Unfortunately there is no law
to prevent children from spark
ing, but there ought to be a
growing sentiment against it, or
something. AS soon as a boy
begins to feel a little kitteny, and
before he knows the difference
between a hawk aud handsaw he
rs mitchell for life. He has a
wife before he has anything to
keep her with. About this time
he realizes that this stuff in now
els about living on love is blast
ed he. Lie feels, mo k and pious
and a big lump rises up in his
throat, aud he wants to die and
have the b,ue- eyed johnny jump
ups nod their head over his low
ly grave. And his little girl wife
doesn't feel bit better. She
doesn't know auy more about
housekeeping than a poodle dog,
and is no more fit TO raise a fam
NY or preside over a household
than the devil is TO preach.
When she goes into the kitchen
to make rye coffee and bake corn
bread on q pillow share, she begins
to wonder where all the palaces
are her husband was going to
build with his own hands, and
what has become of the gay
singing birds and beautiful flow
ers they talked about before mar
riage. Six months ago that girl
had enough poetry in her anato-
my to make a whole volume oil
sonnets, bat today as she stands
there III a faded calico dress she
feels as much prose as an old fax
hackle.

3. We declare that in so far
as we may be instructed with
governmental power, we would
repeal all liquor license laws and
would enact in their stead, a
state wide prohibitory law, thus
changing the attitude of the gov
eminent of our state from that
of frlendliness and completely
with the evils Of the traffic to
that of direct hostility.
4. believing that we represent
the best interests Of Virginia,

mand, in her name, that Con-
gress Immediately revise our in

Intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes cannot b. transport "a

5. We further demand that
Congress- provide an amendment
to our National Constitution, to
be ratified by our several states,
prohibiting the Importation, ex-
portation, manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors for bever-
age purposes within our national
do main. We also demand the
suppression of its kin
