The following report of the marriage
of Miss Hassie Wise of Alden Bridge,
one OF Bossier's pretty and accomplished
young women, to Mr.. Paul Sanderson of
Texarkana, Ark, is taken from Sun
days Shreveport Times:
'sThe marriage of Miss Hassie Wise,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Wise Of
Alden Bridge, and Mr.. Paul Sanderson
of Texarkana, was celebrated at the
home of the BRIDES parents Thursday
morning.
"The house was profusely decorated
with Southern smilax and ferns and cut
flowers. The bride was charming in a
lovely frock of white crepe meteor, and
carried an armful of bride roses. Her
only ornament was a diamond brooch,
the gift of the groom. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Mr.. Harris,
of Texarkana, and the wedding march
was played by Miss Eloise Wise, a
younger sister of the bride, who was
most attractive in frock of pink mar
quisette.
"Immediately after the ceremony Mr..
and Mrs. Sanderson left for an extended
trip in the East, Mrs. Sanderson wearing
a black velvet tailored suit with hat to
match.
"Among the out-of-town guests were
Mr.. and Mrs. M. P. Sanderson, parents
of the groom from Texarkana; Misses

There being a quorum present, the
object Of the meeting was explained to
be to compile and tabulate the returns
of the primary election held January
%, 1912, and declare the result thereof.
The following resolution was duly
adopted:
! Whereas, in obedience to section Is Of

of said primary election, which was ac-

Be it resolved, That we declare the
following compiled and tabulated state
ment to be the true and correct result OF
the votes cast at said election for State,
parochial and ward officers:

Wilson victory and is certainly to be
classed as such. 1t ought to be VIC
tory for any of the progressive candi-
dates had they stood logically for the
vote, but Clark did not and Wilson, who
did reaps the advantage. 1t is naturally
only thus far sentimental advantage,
but is likely to eventuate in cold votes

This unit rule question has not often
been brought up in national conventions,
certainly not in late years. Its most
notable appearance was in the famous
Chicago convention of 1880, when Grant's
candidacy was to the fore. The Grant
men attempted to use this rule to COM
pei twenty Blaine delegates in New York
and some in other Grant states to vote
for Grant But the rule was defeated,
as it had been in the previous convention,
in 1916. This result really defeated
Grant. :. hurt Conkling sore and the
first sentence of his speech placing Grant
in nomination begins: "In obedience to
which | shall never dare
to disregard If autoeratic Conkling
could not push such resolution through
that 1880 convention, it i'll became the
Democrats to attempt such a thing in
these later years of enlightenment and
liberalism.-Boston Transcript.

What the Boston Transcript says be-
low about land in the East as compared
with the Northwest is every word true.
1t all depends on knowing how to utilize
your land. "The boomers of the North
west are fond OF circulating stories about
the prices that fruit land brings in that
section, sometimes as high as three or
four thousand dollars an acre, which
are justified by the returns. But evil
IDENTIFY we do not need to go so far for
at least a partial parallel. Frank San
born, in his weekly letter, tells of an
Irish American farmer, whom he has dis
covered in his rambles about Concord,
the extent of whose holdings is thirteen
acres. The most of this is given up to
asparagus, but just now it is the straw
berry portion that has been attracting
attention. For week past, or more, he
has been sending hundred crates a.
day or thirty-two hundred boxes to the
Boston market, none of which yield him
less than ten cents a box, and the sea-
son is not half over. 1t is estimated
that he will get a net return of three
thousand dollars from five acres, and
their value as revenue producers can
easily be calculated. The man whoI
knows how can do large things with
thirteen acres of good ground or even
less"

Springfield Republican says; "The de-

years. In st. Paul man who embez-

was on the same day turned loose by
the court on parole, to report three times
year for two years and show that he
had reformed. There may be a philo-
sophical reason for the difference in the
treatment; one may get over speculat-

hungry, and a human derelict may belong
in jail when worse man can be con-
verted, sometimes, into a good citizen.

ter of practical convenience, but in moral
questions more is gained by a certain d.
yersity than by uniformity which pre-
vents any experiment in which the whole
immense nation does not take part. Even
in the case of divorce, though some states
have taken too extreme position on one
side or the other, mere divergence
cannot fairly be called scandal; that
begins only when outsiders troop in to
get a divorce on easy terms. If that
abuse could be done away with, the coun-
try could wait very patiently to see
which state is most successful in dealing
with the divorce evil"

The Unit Rule Well Smashed.

The Baltimore convention is to be con-
graduated upon its reputation of the
unit rule. The original unit rule was a
demand that the delegates elected in con-
vention vote as unit, not only on the
presidency, but on all propositions.
Even that has been held to be UNDERGO
cratic and illogical. The extension Of
the idea to apply to delegates elected
by district conventions over which the
state convention has no real authority,
is even more TO be condemned. The in
tegrity and independence of the district
elections of delegates to the convention
ought surely to be maintained as long
as district elections are authorized. This
was practically the same point that was
settled at Chicago with reference to two
Taft delegates from California. When
all the delegates are chosen at large by
state convention, as occasionally hap
pens, of course the conventions resolu-
tons as to the presidency are binding
upon all the delegates; in other words
the unit rule there is automatic. The
fact that the delegates-at-l large are chos-
en- by primary does not give that state
primary any exceptional authority over
the district election, whether by primary
or by convention. All these dicta are
almost automatic and it is surprising
that so large number of delegates
could be found on the side of this an
achronistie and decidedly undemocratic
principle. All the trend of the times
is against it.
The vote for it probably represents
the high-water mark of Bourbon con
seryatism in the convention. AZ one
compares the vote on this proposition
with the vote for temporary chairman,
he is struck with the slight change in the
various states. Only one state, Missis-
sippi, changed over completely from its
stand. This was apparently
due to the influence of Senator Williams.
The states of Indiana, Alabama. Maine.
Maryland, Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Ohio showed liberal gains, while

QUOTING CLUB PICNIC.

occasion it was up against hard luck
again, being outplayed by the score of

as umpire, and as usual, Jim Stuart
