Senator TiIIman.
Buffalo IN. W Times.

buHalo IN. H. Ililee.
The scars OF a veteran are the noblest
insignia OF honor. Senator Iillman, OF
South Carolina, was never a greater figure
in American eyes than in these days OF ILL
health.
But no amount Of physical suffering can
break a spirit as indomitable as that OF
any man who ever lived. The fearlessness,
the intellectual power, the invincible Will
OF Senator Tillman are what they nave al
been. He is a candidate for another
term In the senate. 1t should be granted
him. We are sure his constituents feel as
the country does about the matter.
No legislator in the American congress
is Senator Tllman's superior in parliament
tary knowledge, and grasp Of the practl-
cal workings OF government. Sprung
from the people, heart, brain and soul a
man Of the people, beginning against the
handicap Of great odds, he fought his way
TO the foremost ranks Of orators, leglsla-
tors, and 'parliamentarians by sheer &C.
MUS and force Of character. His great
personality has 'subdued the animositles
of an earlier time. Eighteen years in the
senate have made him understood, not
only by the State Of South Carolina, but by
the whole nation. The United States rec
ognizes In Benjamin R. Tillman one OF the
ablest and ,most dauntless champions OF
liberty, one Of the most relentless Toes OF
special privilege who ever drew breath.
In a stronghold Of p~lutocracy, he has
year in and year out, the battles OF
the people. The senate, the American re-
public cannot afford to lose Tllman.

LICENSE TO MARRY.

Occasionally a lOnesOme-looklng
individual is seen standing in front
of the Probate Judges Office, with
the unmistakable look that distin-
guishes the bridegroom. He is not
communicative about his business,
but on being pressed, sheepishly ad-
mits that he is after a license. About
two colored men come to one white
man. The total number per annum
would probably not exceed two hun
dred and fifty.
The Probate Judge, whose Office
receipts are all too small, has to issue
this license, collect Ii fee of one dol
lar, and then turn seventy-five cents
of the amount into the County treas
ury.
The Press and Banner would sug-
gcst some amendments to the license
law.
In the first place, all the fee should
go to the Probate Judge, as even
with this increase, his income would
scarcely exceed eight hundred dollars
per annum.
Then we would make the marriage
license stand for something. The ap-
plicant should be required to present
a doctors certificate that he is sound
mentally and physically. To license
a man infected with some blood dis
ease OF who is mentally unsOund, is
to license crime. Hundreds of thou
sands of children are born, only to
die in infancy, or to live in misery as
a result of such marriages.
1t may be suggested that a large
percent of oar population disregard
marriage, and SO they do, but law
penalties the offspring of such. The
law as to marriage, like any other
law, is sure to be broken, but by
making the license stand for SOME
thing, the institution will be elevat-
ed, and men will come more and
more to respect its demands.
AS a general proposition, we can
not say that we favor a marriage IL
cense law. There should be no OBJ
struction to the purpose of a young
couple to be married, once they have
made up their minds to do so. If Sc
curing a license should give the irate
father the opportunity to intervene,
then the license is just to hat extent
an evil. But the license is now law,
and we should make the most of it.
The amendment THAT we wish to
stress is: 'that the Probate Judge bt'
required, by solemn act of the legis'
lature, to keep the entire fee Of on'
dollar" Unless this requirement j.
plainly written in the law, it might
be ignored. If he received thes,.
fees, and occasionally received an ad.
ditional fee for performing the cere'
mony, his office would pay some
thing like a living rate. And how
cheerfully would this tax be paid!
We should pay the Probate Judg'
we'll and we should give a real mean
ing to the marriage license.

ROOSEVELT VOTE SMALL
Primaries In Michigan Show That
Republicans Are Loyal.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 2S.--Charles y.
Hilles of the Republican national
committee, who recently spent a day
in this state, held a conference with
the Republican county chairman
SO counties being represented by
these leaders of county organizations.
Eighty Of the county chairmen re-
ported that their counties would vote
for Taft and only three stated that
conditions were doubtful.
These reports are the logical se-
quence Of the recent primary in
Michigan where the vote for the
Third Term party ticket was pitt
fully small.
Representative Mclaughlin of the
Ninth Michigan District, in speaking
of conditions in that state, says that
Roosevelt is losing ground daily and
the outlook for a splendid majority
for Taft is growing every day.
The recent state Republican con-
vention was attended by nearly 1900
delegates. Great enthusiasm was
manifested and the speakers we're ap-
plauded. Roosevelt's name was not
mentioned, while President Taft's
name was loudly cheered.

LITTLE SENTIMENT
FOR ROOSEVELT
Minnesota Republicans Have No In.
terest In a Third Term Party.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 27-The
recent primaries in this state demon
strate that the Roosevelt sentiment In
this state is decidedly on the decrease.
The denominations of Governor Eber-
hart and Senator Nelson, both loyal
Republicans and Taft supporters, have
encouraged the Republicans of this
state to make vigorous and aggres-
sive fight.
Little sentiment is found In Wiscon-
sin for Roosevelt, and the contest,
without doubt, is narrowed down be-
tween Taft and Wilson. The busi-
ness men of Milwaukee, and other
Wisconsin cities, are rallying to the
support of the Republican ticket and
volunteering their services to elect
Taft. The prosperous condition of
their business urges them to support
the present administration.

Of total vote exceeding 100000, or

that of the Democrats and the Third

Of the political situation in this state
says that he is in receipt of letters

strength. The figures or the primary
demonstrate that these letters accu-
rately present popular continent.

his claim, is proven by the poor show
