REAL ORIGIN OF "SH0W NE"
Secret Service Man Tells How Phrase
So Generally Applied to Missouri
Started.

You'll have to show me-Tm from
Missouri"
How often you have heard that
phrase, alphabetically, how tired
you have grown of it. But maybe
there was a time when you wondered
where It originated.
Matt Knapp, a secret service detec-
tive of Kansas City, says it grew out
of the enactment of the Missouri mar
riage laws. Prior TO 1881, Missouri
had about the zero In marriage laws,
Mr.. Knapp says. ANY couple who had
the inclination and could find Justice
of the peace, or a preacher, could join
hands for better or worse, and didn't
have to say anything TO the state
about it.
No questions were asked about ages,
or consent of parents, and unwilling
justices and preachers seldom were
found. Other adjoining states strOve
for years 10 get Missouri TO pass some
state marriage laws, because young
people from Kansas, Iowa, and other
states could step across the line hOl-
Ter at a justice, and be married in
hurry-up style, and there was no state
regulation of it.
In 1881 a law was passed making IL
a misdemeanor for a preacher or
justice TO marry persons not having a
state license, and setting the age Of
manageable women at eighteen
years. If the applicant for license did
not know the age of the briLe-elect,
he had to produce her TO the license
clerk and let him Judge her age.
When the applicant went back after
the girl, she asked the reason, OF
course, why she had to go along 20 get
the license. When told that the law
required her exhibition, she remarked,
"Oh, you've got to show me, have
your"
This occurred many times during
the first year Of the laws effective
ness, and became a by-word, according
to Mr. Knapp.

WHEN JOHN /. BROKE AWAY
In Eight Years Of Abstinence From
John Barleycorn the Former Pu-
giliot Has Saved 100000.

Eight years ago almost to a day
John l.. Sullivan, unshaven and un-
kempt, emerged from a bar Of the
Grand hotel at Broadway and Thir-
tieth street, stood for a moment look
ing back at the door, and then walked
uncertainty uptown. IL was o'clock
in the evening, and the former pugi-
list brushed shoulders with we'll
groomed people hurrylng to the thea
ters. He was the derelict in the stream
On his face there was a half smile,
but 1t wasn't a pleasant one.
At the corner Of Thirteenth street
he met "Morry" Cohen and a newspa-
per man, with both OF whom he was
acquainted. He growled something in
coherent in response to their greeting.
and was apparently about to pass on.
But he paused and turned toward
{ EN-.
I've just been turned down in that
barroom for a drink" he said. Il
wanted one drink more and didn't have
the price. They didn't give it to me.
They put me out. They didn't send
the proprietor or the manager to put
me out. They sent the porter. I've
spent $4,000 over that bar. And they
put me out because wanted drink
and couldn't pay for 1t. There's only
one thing you can figure out of propo-
sition like that. Quit drinking! To

The former champions friends ex-
pressed indignation over the treatment
he had received. 1t reused no spark
Of anger in 'the big fellow" He was
too filled with the sense of shame and
modification. Still brooding over the
indignity he had suffered, he accom-
panied Cohen and the newspaper man

liable. Georgians should lift their
eyes and survey a wider horizon.
How far the public ownership of
public utilieies is going to spread
in this country no man can tell.
How far in this direction it is go
ing to be wise to go, no man can
tell. We have the world before
us to study. in the matter of
railroads, in Germany it is all
public ownership, in the United
Kingdom 1t is all private owner
ship. Investigation shows that
the same complaints against rates
and railway arrangements are
identically the same in both coun-
tries. This shows that some COM
plants are based upon irremov-
able conditions that surround the
transportation problem. There
is one point of agreement. in
the United Kingdom in Germany
and throughout continental Eu-
rope, all the landing places, the
docks and wharves. where freight
cars and steamship meet. are
publicly owned, and at the these
the burdens upon commerce are
reduced to the actual cost of the
service. Germany. on her state
owned railroads, gives lower rates
on export than ON domestic COM
merce, but does not give lower
rates on import traffic. This
would nullify, protanto, the pro-
lection intended to be given, by
the German customs tariff. Geor-
gians must before long decide
what they are going to do with
their railroad. Is the subject
worth Investigation and study?
