Defiance of Cupid
Should Cease.

Could parents recognize that there
is limit to their authority, line
beyond which their jurisdiction over
the lives of their children does not
extend, there might be many less un-
happy wrecks at the marriage altar
and many less wretched lives lived out
in loneliness.
The harm that parents do when
they forcibly dictate the marriage of
their children can never be estimated.
The woe that is in the world from
that cause cannot be measured.
Nineteen year-old Estelle Dorr and
VIM Hauser. 81 years old, were mar
ried secretly in New York city four
months ago, the parents of the young
girl bitterly opposing their friendship.
The other night they were found dead
In a room in a hotel, their arms en-
twined and their lips touching. They
had dropped poison in two glasses Of
punch, drained them at the same time,
and when they felt the fatal nunbness
eEcCpl1S over lH0lu ndu idlu QOWn 10
die in each others arms.
It is a little tragedy that represents
a world of unspoken misery. Not
every thwarted pair of lovers goes to
such extreme. But wherever love is
thwarted there is something dies
something which have, bloomed into
lifelong happiness for two hearts.
| Nothing is more natural and proper
than that. parents should seek the
best possibilities for their children in
the all -important relation of marriage.
1t Is natural that they should think
their age and experience have ripened
their wisdom.
But they often forget that age and
wisdom are not the guides to happy
marriage
Cupid, 1t should be remembered, is
blind and shoots his darts with seem
ing recklessness. But ne is divinity,
just the same, and his darts that
pierce with such exquisite pleasure are
barbed and can be withdrawn only
with laceration and pain.

Judging by the usual number OF
freak election bets that are being
recorded, the mental tone Of this
country isn't improving SO very much
after all.
The ''blues' is a form of insanity

be a lot of insanity lurking In GER

It seems as though, according to
some of the predictions, those cam

1t is now said there are germs in

Boston doctor says the American
race is becoming flat-footed. That
probably comes from standing up IN

If Detective Burns keeps on, the

lillian Russell's latest husband is

A Cleveland lineman was shocked

possible to stay on the sidewalk and
be shocked nowadays if one looks at
the fall styles.
The populist national convention

the committee has made a single mis-
take, however small. that will make
any votes for the opposition. The
strong will and the sterling Demo-
cratic principles OF the New Jersey
governor have caused him to meet
every critical issue with decision,
promptness and fortitude and in every
encounter he has been signally and
triumphantly victorious.
Weak or vascillating candidates,
however well meaning, would have
hesitated to boldly face the bosses at
Baltimore and would probably have
lost the nomination, or at any rate
to so have weakened tie party's po-
s1tion that the election. in November,
II won at all, would have been won
at cost of degrading subserviency 70
the political bosses and protected in
terests, that would have made the
victory little better than defeat.
Another crisis came in New Jersey.
The governor sternly set his face to
the rising sun and won. A third and
even greater danger doomed up in the
New York situation. But here the
governor won such signal and peril
nent victory that the ultimate result
seems to be no longer in doubt
The chance that either Governor
Wilson or the committee will make
any serious mistake between now and
election day, Is so remote that 1t is
scarcely worthy of consideration.

here today, and the evidence thus far
indicates that he acted in self defense.
The woman formerly was the wife
of Jacob Hoover, and it is said that
when they were living together, she
shot through a door at him, but
missed. She obtained a divorce from
Hoover and married a man named
Riordan in Yellowstone county.
She asserted she found out Riordan

manslaughter in 1908 and served a
sentence of year. She had started

great deal of individual effort
should be done between this time and
the opening OF the Interstate Fair to
make Pensacola the city beautiful Of
all Florida. The various organizations
and clubs can help in very material
way but the greater part OF the work
OF identifying the city is. after all,
the result of the civic pride of the
individual citizen and property owner.
Pensacola and It's environment form
the most beautiful combination in the
state or in the South. Great. strides
have recently been made but much
more can be done that will add to the
beauty and attractiveness Of the city.
Let as much be done along this line
as possible before the Fair.

The Situation AS Il Stands.


The Situation As IL Stands.
Upon request from several more or
less constant readers, we have taken
careful view of the present politi-
cal situation, reading editorial re-
marks by papers of all political com
plexions. A comprehensive resume of
what we have learned on the sub
ject is as follows:
Taft is certain to be re elected and
there is no possibility of his being
defeated providing, of course, he gets
more votes than Woodrow Wilson
and Roosevelt combined. The Bull
Moose movement is on the blink and
will entirely die out before election
day. but at the same time it is gain
ing strength rapidly and Mr.. Roose-
Welt will be elected by a larger ma
jority than he got when he ran
against Parker.
Woodrow Wilson hasn't got look
in as the democratic party is worse
off than 1t has been in years, but
Notwithstanding this, Wilson will get
a substantial majority over both Taft
and Roosevelt and will ride to victory
on the shoulders of 100000 pat
riotic voters. Taft is very much
worried about the outcome, but is
sure that he will be elected. He IS
SO unconcerned that he spends all of
his time playing golf but, at the
same time, he is so uneasy that he
never takes his ear away from the
long distance telephone. Woodrow
Wilson is certain of his election but
expresses grave doubts. Theodore
Roosevelt is considerable worried but
gives out the information each morn
ing that his election is certain He
is certain of election, but is doubtful.

The Times Choice for the Repub-
lican Nomination for President,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
For Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt while in Of
ice gave more recognition to the
west than any president we ever
had. His candidacy for the repub-
lican nomination for president has
been announced, and the Meridian
Times intends to give its aid in
securing an Idaho delegation fav-
orable to his candidacy A system
attic effort is being made by power
full interests to create a prejudice
against Roosevelt, and this should
be a good enough reason for the
com mon people to rally to his sup
port. Hepburn and all the stand
patters, trust magnates, and Office
holders are for Taft. The LaFol.
lette insurgent wing of the party,
including our Senator Borah and
other progressives, is for Roosevelt,
and we believe the people of Idaho
outside of the postmasters and ed
itors of the official papers, are for
him.
La Toilette was the first choice
of many of the people of the west
but as he is ill and practically out
of the race, they will naturally
turn to Roosevelt.
