The March Wayne COuntean
Out on Friday, March 21.

Besides the regular grist
of articles and matters of To-
cal interest to Wayne County
readers, the March number
will contain the first of four
chapters of a story written by
the editor that he doesn't
know whether it is worth
reading or not. 1t is called
THE MARBLE CROSS.
and it is story of the Great
Coal Strike. You might try
a chapter of it and see what
it is like.
P. S.-The Wayne Coun-

TROUBLES OF A CONGRESSMAN
Connolly FIees From Persistent sseskrs
After Federal Appointments.

Waterloo June 24.-Maurlce Sonnoi-
", representative for the Third district,
remained in Waterloo over two days in
an effort to decide on the several can
di6ates for postmaster. In the end ne
was just as much puzzled about the local
situation as ever. In order 10 secure
a little rest from the friends OF the vari-
Gus citizens seeking the post the con-
gresham has checked in at his hotel
and disa pepared. The interviewing OF
prominent democrats by Mr.. Connolly
continues in the hope that he may
fathorn the sentiment here and appoint
a man that is the choice of the ma
jority.
There is no concealing the fact that
local democratic leaders are greatly
non-plu.ssed at Mr.. Connolly's long de-
lay in naming the next Waterloo post
master. The term of the present in
cumbent expired some time ago and
vet s;S months after the national. cleo
ton no choice is announced Whoever
is chosen for the post will not satisfy

conFoa1 FOR TAFT.

Preeiden. Wilson has gned the sun
dry civil. bull once vetoed by President
Taft. In giving official approval to
this measure the president serves
warning to labor unions and farmers
Organizations that the law is class
legislation and that in certain actions
they may fbe guilty OF violation OF the
Sherman antitrust law and therefore
not exemp,tfrom prosecution.
President Wilson announces that he
would have exercised the veto power
could he have done so insofar as the
exemptions are concerned. These ex-
symptoms he,designated as unjusti-ia bic
In character and principle. The bill
merely fails to provide necessary funds
with which to prosecute farmers and
labor organizations whose acts may
conflict with existing antitrust stat
Uees. Mr.fN-ilson points out that other
funds are available for this purpose
and for thak reason he affixes his sig
nature to the bill and It becomes Law.
The btu carries $4,000, 900 in appro-
priattons. and the democratic admins
tration needs the money. Otherwise
president Wilson would have followed
his predecessor lead and withheld his
approval
Thus at last at least one of the Of
fetal acts of William Howard Taft
has received the approval Of his dem
ocratic SUCCESSOR.

EARLY MARRIAGES.

4 false story ran the rounds Of the
press some weeks ago that cluo OF
girls in Wellesley College had pledged
them selves not 10 marry for I'VE years
after graduation. and then not 70 mar
~ any man with less than & s., 900 in

scrupulous reporter o. his own i'm
aginations. An investigation by re-
spons:ble board OF students themselves
proved that no such club existed. says
the independent.
Blu, i, is true that both President
Lowell and Ex-President Eliot. OF
Harvard. have given 10 their students
the wise but unusual advice - marry
early. President Eliot goes farther. He
does not like 10 see SO NAM young
male immigrants coming TO this coun-
try. and le would restrict the number.

bring their wives and children.
For early marriage the arguments
are many and weighty. They include
morality. steadiness. responsibility,
parenthcod. unselfshnes. industry and
character. !: is IN the family that
worthy civilization rests. Marriage is
honora Die and decent. It is the solid
basis and the preservative Of society.
The usual objections 10 early mar
rage are unworthy. selfish and COW
ardly. and are called prudential. In
stead OF an ambition to take up the
responsibilities of caring for a COM
panion in lie and children, young men
and young women. too. wish 10 delay

in large families: now the reverse is
too much the case. The well-born gen
! ius Of the family Is quite az likely TO
! be the fourth or tenth child. and the
race is enfeebled in brain and muscle
which limits the chance Of superiority.
We would rather have clubs in col
ileges OF either sex whose members
would choose to marry young, to ac-
cept social burdens, and who will hope
to be the proud parents Of numerous
descendants. That is worthy ambi-
ton. Children ot sccs parents will rule

act avoids the two extremes OF frAn-
chises with which the country has been
troubled. the one Of two short term
TO satisfy investors and the one in
perpetuity, which became ungovern-
able and oppressive in many cases.
The new Wisconsin statute says:
The terms 'indeterminate permit as
used in this act shall mean and en-
brace every grant. directly or indirectly
from the state, to any street railway
company, of power, right or privilege
20 own, operate, manage or control any
street railway plant or equipment or
any part thereof within this state,
which shall continue in force until
such time as the municipality shall
exercise its option TO purchase as pro-
rided in this act or until it shall be
otherwise terminated according to
law"
This definition means franchises
are not to be given for any stated
period, but that all may be terminated
a the desire Of the municipality in
which the corporation is located. pro-
vided that the corporation owning the
property shall be compensated a.
price to be fixed by the state utilities
commission.
While operating under this perrni,
by che state. the company is secured
in a monopoly of the service il rem
ders. This certainty of monopoly may
offset uncertainty of income under the
old form of franchise and so enable
municipalities TO obtain the desirable
service.
But that Wisconsin should enact
such a Law. SO short a time after Gre
alton of its utilities commission law.
indicates very clearly that state
utilities commission is not the last
word to be said on the question of
public utilities.
This new Wisconsin statutes ad-
vances beyond the opinion expressed
by the supreme court of the United
States in the case of the Omaha Light
and Heating Company franchise. but
the courts opinion in that case makes
II certain the Wisconsin statute will be
upheld.
Public utilities are natural monop-
alies." There should never be but one
gas company; one stree, railway COM
pany: one electric light and power
company: one water company, or one
of any COMPANY serving the people of
municipality. There never would be
if such companies were properly
managed.
When some men conceive the notion
that there is big profit in any private
~ owned corporation. they are apt TO
attemp, 10 either gain control Of that
corporation or establish one in COM
petition with it which they may oper-
ale or sell at a profit Generally
speaking. these are the kind Of men
ihat impose the burden of supporting
two corporations where one should
render better service. Wisconsin seeks
to discourage this kind of competition.

saklsc FARMERS OF CITY WAITS.

A movement In behalf OF homeless
boys has been tnaugurated IN New
York state. where ii is proposed 70
Transplant waits from the crowded
districts Of the metropolis 20 the farms
In TIE rural districts. This task has
been attempted by the Lincoln Agri-
cultural School. Of Lincolndale, and
boys ranging IN age from l2 TO Is years
are being sought out as the objects Of
special training Tor useful citizenship.
This school. which is g charitable in
Dtitutton, takes boys fresh from the
city streets. gives them practical train
ing in agriculture. teaches them proper
living conditions and then finds places
for them with families o. farmers. thus
helping the boys to better citizenship
and giving the state more and better
farmers.
Lincoln school Is made as dtHe-en.
as possible from the traditional char
tty or penal institution Groups Of
attractive cottages replace the old
time single. huge structure Of rhH cit
les; instead of the big common dining
hall usual IN charitable institutions. a
number Of small dining rooms are pro-
vided; and each group Of boys has a
separate sleeping apartment. Every
effort is made 70 produce real home
elSiroau1el. where TIE child may de-
velop under conditions as nearly as
possible Ike those Of a normal home.
The school has a farm o. 600 acres.
with model dairy buildings and herd
OF about $50 cattle. The boys are
taught to produce absolutely clean
milk and TO grow grUit and vegetables
by the most modern methods.
Home and social training is enpha-
sized IN the Lincoln school. Not only
are the boys trained 10 be good farm
ers. but they are fitted for entrance 70
the better class OF rural homes.
