Worth Looking into.

Some residents of Missouri have
stepped forward with a proposed mar
triage law that has the Wisconsin
marriage law badly beaten in the
way of sound ense, II provides that
no couple shall be permitted to mar
ry unless they have a nest egg to
start on. Financial matters have
wrecked more matrimonial banks than
any one other thing, possibly. Few
Young men. enthralled in the meshes
OF love, are quite honest with their
s~weethearts regarding their financial
affairs, and few young women are
wise enough to inquire whether the
Young mar who has won her fancy is
in a position to support a family after
marriage. When the glamor of newly
welded life has departed, and the
question of bread and butter, and
maybe a little Jam to go with 1t, comes
up, and the young woman finds she
cannot be supported in the style to
which she is accustomed" Warclouds
darken the sky and trouble begins.
The Missouri idea may be worth look
ing into,-Aberdeen Daily News.

ment in the days when no one knew
that oil was to be found in the lands
given away. Legally, the oil lands
belong 10 the western railroads, de.
cides the United States supreme court
and the roads get by only because
the statute of limitations now pro-
tects them from government restitu-
ton suits. 1t is a notable case of al
most priceless natural orig
inally belonging to the whole people
passing into private and corporate
ownership with nothing whatever
coming to the government. The
western railroads were aided in their
construction period by grants of pub.
lie land, but, even in that period, the
government sought to prevent mineral
deposits from passing into their pos
session. Mineral deposits include oil
deposits, now says the court. That
is something, but it does not restore
the oil tracts to public ownership.

EilWood c. Perisho.

1t appears to be the universal be
lief that the choice of Dean Ellwood
c. Perisho for the presidency of the
State College is a very happy one, and
that the regents could not have made
a better selection. While Dean Per
isho is not a technical agriculturist,
his qualification as a geologist has
brought him in touch with agricul-
tural interests, and he will be found
to fit in with the work at Bookings.
No college man in the state has done
more as an all round booster than the
dean, and he will find a wide field for
work in his new position. There are
great possibilities at the state college.
The foundations are laid for a great
institution. and just at this time we
believe there is need as a head Just
such a man Is has been chosen.--De-

The Presidents Promise.

The outstanding features of Presi-
dent Wilson's remarkable speech be
fore the Virginia editors yesterday
were his definite announcement that
antitrust legislation would be pushed
to completion before congress shall
adjourn and his equally definite prom
Use that when the proposed bills are
passed there will be a cessation of the
agitation, If the president intends to
carry through his program of business
regulation, it is we'll that congress
lose no time in finishing with it. As
Mr.. Wilson TRULY says, there is moth
ing worse for business than uncertain
ty, and that will be ended if, in
keeping with his promise, the country
be allowed a period of time during
which it may adjust itself % the
changed conditions, after the passage
of the antitrust laws.
Once the antitrust bills are on the
statute books, Mr., Wilson will have
completed the whole vast program of
business reform which he set out to
accomplish when he took office. No
other president of recent times has
equalied his record OF achievement.

COL. JOLLEY'S ONLY JOLT

this sole failure came by chance with
himself as the indirect cause. The
people of Centerville were having a
double celebration-the observance of
the national anniversary and the arri-
val of the first railway train ever to
reach their burg. He says:
That was a great day. John l..

Boston. March 10.-Resolutions de-
claring New England shippers to be
in favor of granting the request of the
railroads for a 8 per cent increase in
freight rates, were adopted at a meet
ing held today under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce Transpor
tation committee. The meeting had
been called for the purpose of discuss
ing the car spotting problem, private
sldings and similar subjects, with a
view to giving W. II. Chandler, who is
to represent the chamber at an Inter
state Commerce Commission hearing
IN Washington an idea of the position
taken by shippers. After much discus
sion, the chairman, Albert Green Dun
can. expressed the, statement of the
meeting as follows:
IF / were going TO Washington to
represent the chamber I should say
that the shippers of New England ia
vor a 5 per cent. increase in freight
rates: that they are against diserim-
ination of one shipper against anoth
er: that on the question of private
sidings and spotting the commission
should consider the inadequate termi
nal facilities in New England and the
benefits to the railroads from private
terminals. and that any ruling on the
matter of switching should consider
the question of terminal charges.
A motion to embody this statement
in the form of resolutions to be taken

meeting.
