Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not is goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken Of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act that Each tomorrow
Finds us further than today.
Art is long, Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and
brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac Of Life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife.
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury it's dead,
Act-act in the living present,
Heart within and God o'erhead.

COEMPTIO was q later and less
honorable form Of marriage cere-
mony used by the Romans. This was
marriage BY purchase. In this cere-
mony the brides father by legal
fiction sold her to the groom. She
remained a member Of her fathers
family and gems. ..@.
IS In the middle ages the Church
took the family under it's particular
care and protection. Marriage is Q
sacrament of the Church, and the
church punished breach Of the mar
riage vow, as well as made itself
the guardian Of widows and orphans.
Hence all probate business was reg
ularly done by the church courts,
One may say that modern times
began when the state became the SUI
preme institution. Both in Catholic
and Protestant countries the church
became subordinate to the state in
the sense that the state alone could
coerce. In modern times, hence, the
family is under the protection Of the
state, and the state prescribes the
forms of marriage and defines and
enforces the rights, duties and func-
tons of the institution of the fam
lily.
Hence, today marriage is in all
civilized countries a civil institution.
But to the Christian it is also a re-
ligious institution. This double po-
sition' has caused some difficulty. In
the United States this has been set
tied in very simple, and as it seems
to me, eminently satisfactory man
ner. Here every clergyman is for
the time being while officiating at a
wedding an officer Of the state, so the
one ceremony is at the same time the
civil and the religious marriage cere-
mony. Then, for those who do not
desire a religious ceremony there is
provided opportunity to have the
ceremony performed by a Judicial
magistrate.
i In France and in several Other
countries the civil ceremony is al
ways performed apart from the re-
ligious and always by a government
official. This necessitates two cere'
monies for those who. wish to be mar.
ried by clergyman.

THE LEGAL ASPECT OF
! MARRIAGE.
Marriage is often referred to as a
civil contract but a little considera-
ton will show us that this is an I'M
reinstatement. Marriage is more
than a contract. For the universal
law Of contracts is that contract
can be rescinded whenever both par
ties to it are willing. This however
is not true of marriage. In fact,
marriage is the entrance upon a
status.
The common law being very indiv-
idualistic does not contain term OF
an idea quite corresponding to that
Of status. Still, indirectly the Com
mon Law has always recognized
status, particularly that Of marriage
By marriage, then, the contract
ing parties enter upon a new status
in their relation to each other, thei,
children and society. They acquire
new rights and new duties. And
these rights and duties differ from
those acquired by contract in this
that they cannot be annulled by the
consent of only the two contracting
parties. For the children and soci.
ETY. at large are also vitality inter
ested in this agreement, and hence il
cannot be dissolved without the per.
mission Of the government.
! LEGAL MARR1AGE-The lega
way Of entering upon the married
state has naturally differed much
during evolution Of man. In print
tive patriarchal times marriage was
exclusively a family affair over
which neither state, church nor in
dividuals had anything to do. This
is easily explained, since in primitiv'
times there we're neither state
church nor in the developed sense

SOCIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE
FAMILY AND HOME.-7
(By P. M. Magnuson, Phi. d.
The Legal Aspects of the Family.
THE FAMILY THE UNIT OF
SOCIETY.

THE FAMILY THE UNIT OF
SOCIETY.
The conception which is dominant
with us today is that the individual
is the only real unit of society. Yes,
we 60 farther than that. We don't
believe there is anything else in soci-
ETY. than individuals. All other social
units, like the family or the state, we
consider artificial and imaginary.
Modern law is individualistic, and the
Common Law exceedingly so. Ex-
cept where modified by statutes, as
for example in California (where it
has been Influenced ythe Civil Law
the common law recognizes no fam
lily property. There can be no family
property in Minnesota. All property
belongs to individuals, corporations,
or the state. In the eyes of the law
the family is not moral agent, it is
not responsible for the deeds of it's
members. Parents are not RESPONSE
BILE for the crimes and torts of their
children, contrary to the common
lay opinion. If Johnny breaks a
window pane in a neighbours house,
theoretically Johnny's father is no
more legally responsible than the
Monarch of Moo. In practice, to be
sure, we can "get" the parents by
various legal devices, the simplest of
which is to fine or send the child to
Jail, and let the fond father rescue
his offspring from durance vile.
In fact, as legal unit the family
has no existence in the eyes of the
law. It cannot sue or be sued, enter
into contractual relations, own pro-
perty, or commit torts or crimes.
But in spite Of our theoretic de-
NAL Of the existence Of the family as
social unit, in actual life it is still
a real unit Of society, or to use the
Technology Of German philosophy,
each family is recognized as being
a person, a moral, intellectual, and
emotional organism. The law does
not recognize the family's respon-
sibility for the acts of it's members,
but public opinion is unanimous in
insisting on such responsibility. Re-
spectacle parents are willing to make
good any damage caused by their
children, as long as their children
still are under parental government
Yes, we go farther. When a crime
has been committed, whether by an
adult or minor, the criminals fam
lily feels guilty and is socially dis
graced, showing that we still in a
way. recognize the moral responsible
ity of the whole family. ~

ualism has greatly weakened family

The Reason Why

o. r. AEney, western immigration
aud industrial agent for the Northern
Pacific. With headquarters IN Spo-
kane, has returned from an extended
trap east, where he spent most of the
winter ali spring on an immigration
mission.
''My time for the most part was
spent IN Kansas and Oklahoma, where
did some talking about the Pacific
northwest. said Mr.. AIney IN a
newspaper interview.
washington and Oregon are bet
ter known Ia the portions of the mid
die west which l visited than north
eru Idaho. The ordinary inquirer
knows little of nurth Idaho, save its
forests, mines aud lakes.
Mr. Arney undoubtedly knows
what he is talking about as his state
ments regarding north Idaho are has.
ed on actual experience gained dur
ing his trip. There Is a reason for
the condition found by Mr.. Aruey,
and Il is our opinion that the reason
lies ia the fact that northern Idaho
has been content for years to be in
oluded in the geueraiizing term "In-
land Empire" and to the stranger,
TO the eastern person who is looking
Co the west with a view Of locating,
the Inland Empire is a scope Of ooun-
try in Washington tributary to Spo
kane, aud this idea is constantly
magnided without any mention Of
north Idaho. Our individuality and
identity as a part Of the INLAND EN-
pire Is buried ia the same and will
continue ia that condition until the
people Of northern Idaho wake up TO
the facts aud unite 10 an effort to
make this end Of the state known as
q distinctive part Of the great Pacific
northwest, with natural undeveloped
