One Dollar Is Enough

E11HE sole object OF a marriage license fee
i is to cover the cost of maintaining a rec
ord. 1t IS not to raise revenue nor is it TO
discourage marriage. There are countries
where the marriage license fee is so high as
practically to prevent legal marriage among
the very poor. But it does not prevent IL
legal marriage, to the Generalization Of both
parents and children.
II the General Assembly is seriously con-
sidering the proposition to raise the mar
riage license fee from 81 to 50, it ought, in
stead. to turn about face and decide to let
well enough alone. One dollar is all that any
man ought to be asked to pay for license,
and II the purpose of the license system, to
secure an orderly and decent entrance into
the marriage relation, could be effected by
a 5o-cent fee, it would be better to haIve
than 10 double the present legal rate

An Example of Pernicious Efficiency

CtANG politics, and nothing else is in the
" Stern bill to change the method OF filling
vacancy in the office of Mayor. At present
II a vacancy occurs. the succession falls upon
the Director of Public Safety the Director of
Public Works and on the other members OF
the cabinet in fixed order, and this acting
Mayor is to serve until the next municipal
election.
This arrangement assures the continuance
OF the policy which the voters indorsed when
they elected a Mayor, and 1t guarantees that
there viii be no change in that policy until
the voters themselves have had an oppor-
tunity to order II at a regular election.
The Stern bill provides that a vacancy in
the office OF the Mayor shall be filled by
Councils, meeting in joint convention with
In As hours after the vacancy occurs, and
that the man so chosen shall serve until the
next munieIal election.
The purpose of the bill is TO provide against
future contingencies in the interest OF the
ORGANIZATION by empowering Councils. which

trolled By the Machine, to elect Machine

Too Much CONGRESS

TUsT about the time business men begin
sJ to get cheerful again the President de-
cdes that Congress must continue to sit.
No sooner is one major operation" com
pleted, than some politician or other dis
covers a new disease, real or imaginary and
before anybody knows what has happened,
the Administration takes the thing up in
fanatical sort of way and declares that more
operating is necessary to save the country.
About the time any business begins to move
along smoothly and is earning profits, it
gets a Jolt from Washington.
There is nothing fundamentally wrong
with business. 1t is suffering from shock,
sympathetic hysteria, neurasthenia, superin
duced by politics. The logical, sensible, way
out is a defined area of free operation for
business, but no sooner is the area defined
than Congress undertakes a new definition.
There are intelligent men who are convinced
that Congress not in session would be worth
81 ,OOO, 900 a day TO the country. 1t is pity
that men who live in Washington so soon
get out of touch with conditions in the ma
tion itself.

McNichol Driven Into Line 2

CENAToR McNICHoL now declares that
~ he is in favor of rapid transit, that he
recognizes the necessity for it, that his fight
is merely an incidental one relating to
methods; and he broadly intimates that his
position has been misunderstood. 1t is even
asserted that he will permit the Finance
Committee to report the transit ordinances
out at the meeting next week.
This is good news. 1t is to be hoped that
the Senator's change of mind will be perma-
nent and that he and his allies will join
heartily in the movement to begin transit
work this year. 1t will not do, however, for
citizens to forsake the fight minute. 1t is
more than ever imperative that they remain
on the firing line and stay there until abso-
lutte victory has been achieved Habit
might unfortunately get the better Of the
obstructionists. An army of fighters to re-
mind them of the new road they have set
out to travel should always be at hand.
The public is not interested in technical
details. 1t simply knows that this or that
move will block transit. 1t understands
clearly that the failure of Finance Commit
tee to report the transit ordinances out at
the next meeting will delay transit a year
failure to report them would be construed
as a betrayal of the city. That is what it
would be.
Senator McNichol controls Finance Com
mittee. Let him, through it, make good his
promise that lie is for rapid transit,

feeling of Germans toward the British The
Kaiser decorated the author.
Now Earl Curzon of Kedeston has written
a poem expressing his personal hatred Of
the Germans. Earl Curzon married Mary
!. .eiter of Chicago. She died several years
ago. He has long been prominent in British
official life, having been Vceroy of India.
His poem, published in London newspaper,
is entitled "To the German Army: A New
Years Prayer, 1916" It follows:
pray that every passing hour
Your hearts may bruise and beat,
| pray that every step you take
May scorch and scar your feet,
l pray that beauty never more
May charm your eyes, your ears,
That you may march through day and night
Beneath a heaven of tears,
Blind to the humblest flowers that in
The hedgerow corners bloom,
Deaf to whatever sound cry
May wake in you the memory
OF dear ones left at home
pray your guns may be engufed
Beneath the loam-our loan!
pray the streams-our streams-may leap
In floods above their banks and sweep
Your tramplinG hosts to doom!
play the spectres of our slain
May haunt YOU in your tents
Vigil o. sleep, Whichever you seek
Naught smelling but the bloody reek
OF our Holy lnnocents,
! pray the ruins of homes
May crush you like worm,
Your brains beneath. the torment reel,
Doubt from your hearts their fury steal,
Fear drive YOU like brute beasts that squeal
And fly before the storm!
] pray that you may live to wrthe
Meath every pang we've known;
Then haply may Almighty God
Spare the supreme avenging rod,
The eternal anger OF His nod.
Ard say the miles that you have trod
Shall of themselves atone!

Social Insnrance in Germanv.

From the New Orleans States.
German statistics show that just before the
war 4,6OO persons were protected by compul-
sorry sickness insurance. 24eOo,OOO by compulsory
accident insurance and 100000 by old age and
invalidity insurance, exclusive of several mil
lions OF salaried employees who were brought
under compulsory Insurance by recent Iegsia-
ton, This gives rough idea OF the all-around
security enjoyed by the average German work
man in practically all industries and many of
the trades of the empire.
