PROF. 1AF1's PECULIAR IMPRESSION.

Ex-President Taft is quoted in the
cuenr issue of the Bulletin Of the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers as
saying:
"Criticism Of different nature
might well be directed to many text
books that seek TO inculate aversion to
the use of Intoxicating liquor. The I'M
wise extremity TO which legislatures
have gone in the requirement for such
teaching has stimulated a class OF
books which dwell on the results Of the
use Of Intoxicating liquor in such an
exaggerated way that the pupils soon
begin TO understand that they are
grotesque exaggerations, and therefore
become skeptical in respect to the
whole matter
If Taft is correctly quoted by the
Bulletin his unders nding of the eff
fec. produced by enforced teaching of
the deleterious action of alcohol is
quite as wide of the fact as his under
standing of the political conditions
which resulted in an overwhelming de-
feat where he had foreseen certain VIC
tory. The ex-president Is very much
mistaken. Somebody has been telling
him wrong.
The fact is that nothing has been
more productive OF temperance sentl-
ment and of greater deterrent force as
regards indulgence than the school
teaching that alcohol is poison. so
far as the ordinary text books in use
are concerned they state the simple
facts that every physiologist lays
down.
The teaching complained of has not
been part of school work so long that
its beginnings are forgotten. 1t came
into the text books against fierce
protest The liquor interests, didn't
want even the plainest facts taught as
regards the evil effects of alcoholic liq-
uors. With them they held very large
number of excellent persons who be-
!ieved that liquor is good medicine
and that tbs use is beneficial. The prop :
osition to put the facts about booze
into the school books was decided as a
fad Of short haired women and long
haired men, Of cranks and reigionists
and the W. C. T. L. at that time looked
upon very much as an anarchist lodge
Is at present No doubt the Bulletins
of that day quoted ex-presidents and
preachers and all those who might be
induced to say word for liquor and
against reform. But the facts went
into the school books and as the chill
dren grew up dry territory grew with
them.
II would be interesting If Professor
Taft might be prevailed upon TO name
the text books in use in schools Wh1ch
so exaggerate the results of the use
Of intoxicating liquor. Perhaps 1t Is
possible to exaggerate these results.

Great Wall Intact.

Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along a
large part of the great wall of China.
The bricks OF the parapet are as hrn
as ever, and their edges have stood the
severe climatic conditions of north
China with scarcely a break. The paw
ing along the top Of the wall is so
smooth that one may ride over 1t with

Rear Admiral F. T.. Chadwick, re-
tired, has reopened the controversy as
to the effect of the preponderance OF
women teachers in the public schools.
In the Educational Review he speaks
of the evil effect Of allowing women
to teach boys, saying that 1t Is an In
dignity to boy to place him under q
woman teacher. and that the manhood
Of the country is thereby feminized
and made emotional and illogical.
william McAndrew. principal Of the
Washington Irving high school for girls
in New York. has undertaken to answer
Admiral Chadwick. He does SO by
saying: 1T is only part Of the truth to
say that We should not have women
teachers for boys in the public schools.
What we need is an equal number OF
men and women teachers in public
schools for boys or for girls. The
average boy comes to our schools from
home where the mother and father
are hard-working persons. employed
in factories or shops, and who have not
the time to tring up their children
properly This boy must get at school
at this most impressionable period Of
his life the same kind Of influence he
WOolo get IN propeTly-cOnoucleu

the feminizing effects on the American

Marriage is a status assumed by two
parties who by mutual consent agree to
become husband and wife.
Good Faith.
ia man and woman having capacity
to enter into the marriage relation, go
thru the formal ties required by law,
merely as a joke, not intending it as
marriage. or where it is a sham to
avoid prosecution, there is no valid
marriage. The parties must both en-
ter into the relationship In good latin
with the intent to become husband and
wife.
Mental Requisites.
The parties must be Of sound mind,
in order that there may be legal I'm
telligent) consent: neither must be In
sane, intoxicated, or mentally unsound
at the time of entering into the mar
rage relation, and the consent must
not be secured by fraud. duress or mis-
take.
Physical Requisites.
The parties at the time Of the mar
rage must not be impotent or afflicted
with an incura BILE venereal disease, but
it makes no difference II either one is
they should both be physically sound.
This matter of health and the ike,
will be discussed in detail in the next
article.
Relation by Blood or Marriage.
There are certain persons who are
prohibited from marrying each other
on account of relationship by blood or
marriage. The statute in this state
now reads: If any man marry MS
fathers sister. mothers sister. father
widow. wife's mother. daughter, wife's
daughter, sons widow, sister, sons
daughter, daughters daughter, sons
sons widow, daughters sons widow,
brothers daughter. or sisters daugh-
ter; or If any woman marry her
fathers brother, mothers brother.
motherss husband, brother, sons son,
daughters son. sons daughters hus-
band, daughters daughters husband.
brothers son. or sisters son; or II any
one marry his or her first cousin; or
if any one person being within the de-
grees Of consequently or affinity IN
which marriages are prohibited by the
section carnally known to each other,
they shall be guilty of incest and inn
prisoned in the penitentiary not ex-
ceeding twenty-five years nor less
than one year A marriage between
such persons is absolutely void. We
must, however. keep In mind the dis
tinction between relationship by blood
and that by affinity; in the latter case
the relationship by affinity comes to
the affinity: in the latter case the rela-
tionship by affinity comes to an d.
yorce. Consequently it was held In
recent case that marriage OF man to
the daughter of his divorced wife, after
! divorce. was no longer within the stat
| ute because the divorce terminated the
relationship by affinity.

rage is yoidable at the option OF the
party who has not attained such age
made known at any time before he or
she is sixteen months older than the
age thus fixed. The marriage Is not
void, but it may be avoided, because
the parties are conclusively presumed
by statute not to be able to intelligent
ly consent All other marriages are
valid when entered into and the par
ties altho minors. by reason Of valid
marriage attain their majority.
License.
Previous TO the solemnization of any
marriage a license for that purpose
should be obtained from the clerk Of
the district court Of the county where
in the marriage is to be solemnized;
this is secured upon paying the sum OF
81. Such license can not be granted
under any circumstances where the
male is under Is and the female under
II and when either Of the parties are
minors the previous consent OF the
parents or guardian, if both parents
are dead, is necessary.
Solemnixation.
A marriage may be solemnized by
a justice Of the peace, mayor, judge,
VI ala ordained minister ot The gospel.
Marriages may, however, be solemn
lied with the consent Of the parties in
any other manner, but the parties
thereto and all persons aiding and
abetting each forfeit $50 to the school
fund (but this does not apply to the
person conducting the marriage cere-
mony, if within ninety days thereafter
he makes the required return to the
clerk of rhe district courD. The per-
son solemnizing the marriage is by
statute entitled to ST.
Cohabitation.
In this state marriage is complete
when the parties in good faith agree
in words Of the present tense to take
each other as husband and wife. Co
habitation adds nothing to the agree
ment and il not essential to the valid
ity of the marriage.
Common Law Marriage.
A common law marriage is an agree
ment to at once become husband and
wife, followed by cohabitation. The
agreement must be entered into In
good faith: 1t must not be lustful or
so as to avoid prosecution. The par
ties must consider themselves husband
and wife at the time the relationship
is entered upon. Common law mar
riages have been recognized as valid
in Iowa, but the parties thereto are
subjected to two penalties: ~ In not
securing the license they are guilty of
q misdemeanor and may be punished
by Imprisonment in the county jail
not more than one year, or by fine
not exceeding $500 and (2) In not hav-
ing ceremony performed they for
felt $50 to the school fund. The code
expressively provides that the provis-
ions relating to procuring licenses and
the soiemnixation Of marriages are nc:
applicable to members Of any particu-
lar denomination, having as such any
peculiar mode Of entering the marriage
relation, but no case has ever arisen
on this point.
