WISCONSIN MARRIAGE LAW UNcON,
STITUTIONAL.

The apparent deadlock in Wis
consin over the amendment to the
marriage law requiring physi-
clans certificate as condition for
marriage license has been broken,
for the present, at least. by the de-
cision of the Milwaukee County
Circuit Court that the law is un-
constitutional and void. The mat
ter was brought before the circuit
court on an application for writ
of mandamus directed against the
county clerk, ordering him to issue
marriage license to an applicant
without health certificate. The
court held that the amount of fee
provided for the examinations as
required by law was unreasonabIy
low, and that the law was an undue
interference with personal liberty.
This decision, while only that of a
circuit court, will act as a stay to
the enforcement of the law until
the higher courts have passed on
the question Probably no other
topic has inspired SO large an
amount Of newspaper comment in
the past month. Wisconsin's ex-
perience. says the Journal of the
American Medical Association,
should be warning to state legis-
Iatures not to enact hasty and ILL.,
considered laws on complex scien-
tific subjects. The discussion of
Ieugenics, race betterment and mar
riage regulation is productive of a
large amount of good. but prema-
ture efforts to crystalline hastily
formed opinions into laws can re-
suit only in confusion.

DEAL WITH MEN You KNOW.

Don't expect the impossible of
your town and its merchants. Be
sure first. before you complain Of
the goods and prices Of home mer.
charts. that you haven't had hand
in making it impracticable fol-
our merchants to handle the kind
of goods you want at the prices
you can pay. Merchants are not
mind readers, nor are they blind to
their own best interests If they
haven't what you want they Will
get it for you at az low or lower
price than you can get it anywhere
else. They deserve to be given an
opportunity to do so. anyhow !; but
If they do not deserve it, you will
be doing yourself a bigger favor
than you will be doing them to deal
face to face with men you know
and that can be held personally &C.
countable for their promises and
performances. Try this for rule

with P. G. Holden. as Director. is
about to put on an educational tour
in the interest of diversified agri-
culture.
Director Holden in writing to
Mr.. q. w. CoviDgton at Halle
hurst, says:
Two or three speaking crews
could be sent out from Natchez for
one day. from Woodville, one day,
from Liberty one day, from Mag
noHa one day. from Summit one
day. from Tylertown one day, from
Port Gibson one day. and from such
other towns in southwest Mississip-
pi as care to put on such cam.
paigns.
We note what you say relative to
making our night stops at the
principal towns along the !. G.
from Magnolia north. such as Sum-
NIT. Brookhaven. Hazlehurst and
Crystal Springs. and on up to jack
con and radiate from these points
each day. thus covering all the
counties west of Pearl River and
south of Jackson. This is most
excellent suggestion and if the
different towns along the |. e. care
to get into the game at an early
date and are willing to furnish the
speakers free entertainment at
night, and an automobile for each
speaking crew the next day. we
will probably send two or three
men down at an early date and dis
cuss the matter in detail with your
people. ;"
This campaign is to be strictly
educational. No advertising of
any kind is to be allowed.
Boards Of Trade. local organiza-
tions and public-splrited citizens
are invited to take up this matter
and assure the men back of it of
their cooperation.

A newspapers RIGHTS.

A decision which should be of
intense Interest to newspaper pub
fishers throughout the country was
recently handed down by Judge
Goldsberry in the common pleas
court Of Ross county. Ohio. He
decided that a newspaper has a
property right in news relating to
the action of public officials.
The principle of law was laid
down in a case brought by the
Sciota Gazette Company. a corpora.
tion. against Robert D. Alexander.
auditor of Ross county. eniQininR
the defendant from preventing EN-
pIoyes Of the plaintiff from being
present at the meeting Of the
county commissioners. The case
had been in the courts for nearly
three years.
The decision will set q precedent
in other cases and will result in
better treatment for the harassed
news gatherer.
The action OF the Ross county
officials IN attempting to bar re-
porters from meetings was mis-
take. Officials who have nothing
to fear do not have any objections
to the public having q full report
of what happens at their meetings.
