From the Feminine Viewpoint
Bachelors in Durango as well as
elsewhere have taken it upon them
selves to express their views of mat
'imony and women on so many occa.
'ions, it is with great pleasure we
quote few reflections from the femi.
nine point of view. ut is with re.
gret that we promised not to give this
names of those who expressed the
happy thoughts.)
When you hear man protesting
vigorously that he will never MARI,
you recall that it is the boy who i.
afraid that whistles in the dark.
When man stops to express re
grets to girl about the color Of
his past, it is perfectly safe for hel
to decide on her trousseau.
The care with which bachelor
chaperons himself nowadays would in
spire the head of boarding schoo
for girls with deepest envy.
| Marriage is woman's highest voca
ton in life. But with men as AYERS,
to matrimony as to appendicitis hoy
are women going to reach the desire,
heighth?
reasonable wife, from man
point of view, is one that believes al
things, does not stop to reason am
never asks questions.
Women spend much time complain

Men spend an equally large amour
of time congratulating themselves be
cause they are.

Some of the abssrd technicalities that enter into court trials were called to local attention yesterday morning before case was taken up in circuit court
 An indictment for murder read that the killing was done with a pistol loaded with powder and bullets"
 A demurrer was filed. setting up that the indictment was not proper because 1t did not state Powder and leaden bullets''
 The old form of the law might have been "leaden bullets" but there are bullets other than ''leaden" bullets now.
 Another technicality was that the indictment was not signed by the prosecuting attorney The prosecut- ing attorneys son and deputy. clothed With full authority, had affixed the signature of the prosecutor
 Such technicalities of law are ab- surd. or course they were both dis missed as being trivial
 An attorney can not be criticized for presenting such technicalities for if he could get away with them. his
  client is entitled to the benefit. Bnt what would such things have to do with the guilt or innocence of the ac- cused?
 The question at issue before the court in murder case is first, if tho accused killed the party he is charged with killing. and if so. was the kill ing 1ustitiabley
 Anything is trivial Courts must proceed carefully and keep within certain bounds, but rne prompt dis. missing of trivial notions is condu- ciye to the advancement Of justice in any community.
