CEREMONY IN MARRIAGE
E New York World.

FROM the New DIX w ORD.
A certain citizen of Pennsylvania mar
ried his housekeeper without a cere-
mony, or through mutual consent alone
He later on repudiated this contract
and tremendously married another
whereupon the first wife sued for sup
port and Judge Bechtel of Philadelphia
has sustained her contention. He holds
that a mutual consent or common-law
marriage without ceremony is valid in
Pennsylvania.
Lawyers are said to doubt the sound
ness of this judgment, and moralists say
it is a relaxation of the marriage laws
and throws wide open the vital ques-
ton of private conduct
Rather must 1t not be said to hold in
dividual conduct in these matters to a
closer responsibility? Is morality con-
suited when a man like this one is al
lowed to betray the confidence of the
woman and escape the financial obliga-
ton he undertook?
Ceremony may be important in i'm
pressing upon some minds that weight
of the marriage sanction which
is its due but more important to the
same end is society's decree through
law that the more practical obligations
Incurred shall be enforced. Ceremony
may weigh for a time, but this decree
of society weighs all the time, and is
therefore far the more important In
maintaining order and responsibility
among men in their marital relations.

Yirginia's Specially Restored

When Woodrow Wilson becomes
President of the United States, as he
almost assuredly will, Virginia will
cut the eighth nick in her gunstock.
The list of men born on the soil of the
Old Dominion will then consist of
Washington, jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and
Wilson-eight all told.
Virginia's only rival has been Ohio,
in which were born Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Harrison, Mckinley and
Taft-six in all.
The election of Woodrow Wilson
comes in the nick of time, for Ohio is
beginning to press her closely in the
race. The Mother of Presidents" is
not easily displaced. From Zachary
Taylor to Woodrow Wilson period
of 63 years has elapsed in which Vir-
ginia has supplied no son to the pres
idency. The election of Wilson will
restore her prestige, and no state, un-
less it be Ohio, will regret the change.

Fighting the White Plague

The Anti tuberculosis association Is
doing a great humane work in this
county, and should meet with popular
encouragement and cordial support.
On Friday afternoon from $3.50 to
$50 o'clock there will be public re-
ception at the tuberculosis dispensary
on South Twentieth street.
The association conducted disren-
sary for many months at the Chamber
of Commerce, to which came so many
sufferers that it became necessary to
secure more convenient quarters. The
present quarters on Twentieth street
have been equipped and in operation
for about six weeks. A member of
the medical staff attends from 1880 to
3 p. m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and
FRIDAYS to examine all who need at
tention.
II is said that very few Birming
ham people know of this work which
is in some respects the most important
that the Tuberculosis association
is doing.
A prominent citizen closely identi-
fled with the anti-tuberculosis move
ment has furnished The Age-Herald
with these facts touching the dispen-
sary: 1.-TWO men visit the patients and,
in cooperation with the health de-
partment, endeavor to bring to light
every case of tuberculosis that their
careful inquiries can discover. They
report such persons as need transfer
to the Red mountain camp, and such
houses as need disinfection or screen
ing. These nurses also follow up pa
tients who have been discharged from
the camp, and give treatment, baths
and the like to bed ridden ones for
whom the camp is unavailable.
at is believed that few who ought
to know of this work for their own
benefit have as yet learned about it,,
and few who would be glad to support
it have yet visited the dispensary.
1.-THE ladies of the auxiliary commit
tee are therefore taking this method,
in association with the medical staff
and the secretary, to show their
friends and the people of this city
Chat provision is here made for the
protection of their health. 1t is hoped
that every physician and all friends of
the association will come and see for
themselves that this dispensary is one
for which to be thankful and of which
to be honorably proud"

will be no Roosevelt ticket in the
Green Mountain state, according to
present indications, and the old
guard will line up against the pro-
gressives of both parties in that state.
Governor Foss of Massachusetts, an
nounces that he will stump that state
with a view to an increase of the DEM
ocratic vote in the September cleo
ton.
In 1908 the democrats cast 11,496
votes and the republicans 1852. In
1910 the democrats gave their candi-
date for governor 17,430 votes while
the republicans elected Governor
Mead by vote of 1929 Governor
Foss thinks these figures can be ma
terially revised.

EMBARRASSING LUNCH

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Harding Davis,
who We're divorced in the Chicago
courts few days ago, passed an EN-
barrassing Is minutes in each. others
company at the coliseum yesterday aft
ernoon.
Mr.. Davis was at the convention writ
ing articles for eastern newspapers.
Mrs. Davis had been occupying a seat
in the balcony. At lunch time both
went to the lunchroom in the coliseum
annex.
Fate, and the crush in the lunch
ROOM landed them side by side. Each
ordered glass of milk and a piece of
pie They lunched side by side. Neith-
err spoke to the other, and when they
had finished each paid for one piece of
pie and one glass of milk, and hurried
back to the big hall.

Bright Outlook

1.-THE general business or the country is
fairly good. and with good crops through
out the United States business will hum
during the next few months" said a
member of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday.
Il was glad to read IN this morning 5
paper a clipping from the New York
Herald headed. Business Not Frightened
1t started with the paragraph:
In one sense this appears to be an
unusual presidential year. What differ
entiates it from other presidential years is
a good business outlook, as OWNED by
those whose places in the commercial
world entitle them to speak with au-
thority.'
THAT is quite true. The Herald goes
on to quote Judge Cary, chairman of
the United States Steel corporation. in
which the judge gives few facts to
show what a busy concern his corporation
is. The indications are that we will
have great deal of business activity
during the next three or four years

The Education of Boys

Every intelligent boy who Is eager
to acquire culture will cultivate a
taste for solid reading said a pro-
ffessiona1 man, "and If he is able TO
attend an institution of higher learn
ing one should be selected whore at
tention is paid to ethics as well as
science and general literature.
Recently, in looking over a bull
letin issued by an Alabama institution
| where boys 10, IA and 8 years OF age
are enrolled l came across these whole
some statements: The method of in
struction is of far more Importance
than the matter: for without the proper
method there will be no mental I'M
| provement. no real education. The prop
| err method is not by textbooks, but con-
sIsts In training the mind to do orig
| inal work, following the method which
all great thinkers have used for their
mental development and in the produce
tion of their masterpieces. The memoir
izing of the textbook and telling the
| teachers what the book says about the
subject, instead of making minds, Will
Impair tliem;- hence 1t has no place in
the institute. Tho method followed here
is that which trains the student to Sc
| yelop all the faculties of his mind by
exercising them daily and constantly on
| the phenomena of co-existence and sue
eession which are presented to him.
The late Thomas Arnold, of world
wide fame as head master of Rugby, is
quoted in this bulletin referred to-'A
school does its best to educate as well
-. III.
ers example agrees with his teaching,
but when he endeavors to make the ex-
ample and influence the boys them
selves Ga far greater matter than his
OWN agree with it also.'
The Bible should be studied by all
boys, and in all well ordered insti-
tutes it forms a part of the course. This
study should be free from sectarian
subject matter and should deal with
and religion so essential to a complete
education
Another paragraph in the bulletin
which struck me forcefully was this:
'Aristotle's Ethics and Politics." The
Bible, and Woodrow Wilson's THE
State" are used as the basis of a course
of lectures in morals and civics In or
der to prepare the student for his life
in the school and in the state. AS every
student and citizen has obligations and
responsibilities, the proper discharge of
which contributes to the welfare of his
fellows. each student In the institute is
required to give diligent attention to
these lectures and to discharge faith
fully and efficiently his duties in the
school,
Speaking of Woodrow Wilson's well
known work. The State it is one of
the most useful reference books with
which I am familiar. In simple, con-
densed form it gives the development
| of government and legislative bodies,
and enables one to familiarize himself
with the modes of government in each
country of the civilized world
] I'm former times classical or cultural
education did not include political his
| tory or political science, but politics In
the broader sense should be taught in
every preparatory school, and 1t is now
taught in most of them, am told.

Building Up a Personal Party

Although there is no issue that APP
peals to the convictions of the people
in any state, yet Theodore Roosevelt
has, through Campaign Manager Dix
on of Montana, called convention to
meet in Chicago August 5 to organize
new party. Existing parties are
contending over every known ques-
ton, and yet the desire for power on
Roosevelt's part induces him to at
tempt to organize third party.
If the tariff and the trusts and the
high cost of living are not the issues
of the campaign, what indeed are? On
the tariff Theodore Roosevelt is sus-
piciously evasive. He has scarcely a
word to say on the subject. AS to the
trusts, neither he nor Mr.. Taft ever
harmed one in nearly IL years Of
power. These trusts and the tariff
have marked up the prices of many
necessaries of life, and while the
tariff issue is avoided and the trusts
practically protected, prices will con-
tinue to be marked up by the monopo-
lies that fill and rule the country.
The truth is, Roosevelt is endeavor-
ing to organize a personal party. He
tried to lead the republican party. The
effort was failure, and now Roose-
welt party is to be set up at Chicago
on August 5. A third term Roosevelt
party is all there is of it. Instead OF
public sentiment which does not exist
a colossal egotism which does exist in
the breast of the Sage of Oyster Bay
has been substituted. 1t will not
prove sufficient.
The call is signed by Oscar R.
Hundley and about so others from 40
states, but in the list the names of
only three democrats appear, namely,
Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, Julian Har-
ris of Atlanta and John M. Parker Of
New Orleans. These three do not con-
stitute a split in the democratic ranks
by at least four city blocks.
The names of Senator Borah, Gov
ernor Deneen, Walter F. Brown OF
Ohio, w. L. Ward of New York, AL
bert J. Beveridge of Indiana, Senators
Bourne and Clapp, Congressman Muir
dock of Kansas and Governors Aldrich,
Stubs, Hadley and Glasscock, do not
appear. Governor Osborn of Michi-
gan is supporting Wilson and Mar
shall. Most of the stronger men have
in short deserted the bull moose
party.
Governor Wilson is progressive
himself, and no democrat of keen OBJ
servation will desert Woodrow Wilson
to support Theodore Roosevelt. None
have to the present time, and none
will. No one consistently can do so.
A dozen republican votes will be cast
for Wilson and Marshall and a rev.
enue tariff where one democrat wan
ders off to serve the personal party
and its vainglorious leader.
