ing must have been a strong minded
young person indeed.
A Strenuous Wedding Day.
Once married, the bride, according
to One authority, began her career as
a married woman by running a foot
race with her husband to the place
where the wedding feast was to be
served.
This was usually nothing more nor
less than a drunken orgy where the
guests RECALLED themselves often with
coarse jests directed toward the bride
and groom. Wild dancing followed,
the bride being expected to dance until
she dropped, If necessary but with
every man present.
There was the exchange of wedding
gifts, which were first meant merely
to serve as loans until the couple
grew better OFF, when their return was
expected
Later it became flercely compulsory
to give these same gifts for perma-
nent ownership-hence, finally, the
wedding gift of today.
On through the wild night the rev.
elry went on, until the bridal couple,
worn with the strain Of events.
sought the wedding chamber.
Here, however, they were pursued
by the same half-drunken band, who,
slapping and pounding each other,
The couple were finally pelted with
missiles of every description, and a
large racket was kept up until the
groom paid them all the silver he could
afford. to be quiet and depart for their
homes.
Thus the charivari.
The bride was occasionally tapped
on the head with an old shoe in token
Of her submission to her husband, and
the modern wedding journey first
found favor in England, when some of
the nobility bethought 1t fine fashion
to introduce in order to escape the long
revelry of the wedding night which
was thought by the people to be abso-
lutely necessary.
The veil, for modesty, the wedding
ring for submission, and the hundred
and one wedding superstitions of 20
day are but dim relics of former times,
handed down from century to century.
February and May have long been
tabooed by the superstitious as the
worst possible months for weddings.
juno has Ii by a large majority, and
Wednesday and Sunday are the lucky
days.
And so on with a large list of we'd
ding superstitions which are practiced
to this day, Carl Halliday in the Uncle
Remus Magazine for June having an
exhaustive article upon the origin and
first practices of these little pagan de-
partures OF pretty brides.

DISGRACE TO COMMONWEALTH TIL


Whatever may have been the mer-
its or dement's of the proposition Of
William H. Milton, erstwhile a can
didate for governor, to establish in
the everglades a sugar cane farm to
be worked by state convicts. it was
the first step in recent years for the
abolition Of that relic OF barbarism,
the convict lease system.
It is almost incredible that any
considerable number OF the members
Of the legislature are satisfied with
the degrading system as 1t exists,
yet apparently, few II any of the
Florida lawmakers have the courage
70 come out squarely and say they
want to enact legislation to do away
with 1t.
1t is true that the lease system,
degrading and barbarous as II is, is
80 ingrown with the fiscal affairs Of
the state government that II does
require some courage in a represen-
tative to oppose II unequivocally.
After the agitation against the sys-
tenn was started in the neighboring
state Of Georgia, II only required the
length Of one term Of the Legislature
70 do away with It forever. The sys-

the degradation that it imposes upon
the people at large. No citizenship
can claim high moral standard. or
any moral standard at all, while it
exposes its convicts to the horrors of
the lease system.
Suppose the abrupt abolition of the
system does cause a revolution
in the fiscal affairs of the state gov
ernment. is not that better than the
crucifxion of the soul?
Men may prate all they like about
the horrors of human slavery, they
may shout all day long over the Men
and Religion Forward Movement and
Florida may send thousands of doll
lars annually in the guise of foreign
missions to proselyte peoples of other
religions in foreign lands, but until
this awfully foul blot is wiped off
the escutcheon Of the state, Florida
has right here at home, a bigger
problem than the christianization of
all the pagans From Greenland's Icy
Mountains to midas Coral Strand
The people would abolish this dis
graceful evil If they had a whack at
it; let us see what the politicians will
do.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1912-06-16

The June bride of several hundred
years ago necessarily had to have
considerably more nerve and more
endurance than the average twentieth
century maid, when she finally saw the
wedding day approaching, and knew
the strenuous part she would be
forced to play In its rather barbarous
celebration.
Nowadays the June bride has the
wedding rehearsal to think about: her
gown; how her bridesmaids will APP
pear: in fact, II the wedding is to be
a large one, there is a certain nervous
strain upon every member Of the
family until n is "all over"
But nothing more serious.
II the wedding is to be a public one,
the bride is reasonably sure Of some
show of hilarious feeling among people
who like to throw old shoes at the
carriage; to deluge the newly married
couple with rice, and to accompany
them to the train with great deal Of
public advertisement.
All this almost every bride expects,
nowadays, because weddings are
events around which still hover the
practices Cor the faint remnants of
then) Of medieval times.
Several hundred years ago, however,
before the edge had become worn from
the wild and often vulgar enthusiasm
attending the marriage of a man and
woman, the bride who contemplated
her wedding day without some misgiv-

tenn was fully as bad in Georgia as
1t is In Florida and the common
wealth to the north of us depended
as much on the proceeds of the lease
as does Florida. Besides, in Georgia,
the lessees had built up a kind of
political machine and were more
closely allied with the ruling powers
of the state than they are in this
commonwealth.
When the attention of the people
was called to the enormity of the
outrage In Georgia, the public con-
seriousness was soon awakened and the
custom of leasing out convicts went
the way of other cruel and degrading
customs of the barbario past.
This is in no sense a plea for bet
ter and more humane treatment Of
violaters of the law, either black or
white. Sick boys. invalids and the
physically infiru may be tortured to
death in tvrpentine woods and phos-
phate mines every day in tho year.
but that, degrading and brutal as 1t
is, does not constitute the principal
part of the crime against humanity
that the system fcrmulates.
The chief part Of the trouble is
