 The wedding party formed in line at the church door and marched down the aisle to the altar Father Joseph Schitokas there to receive them, and he began at once reading the marriage ceremony. The priest reached the lines declaring the couple and wife but never read them. As he was proceeding toward the final words of the ceremony jumped up in the audience and cried in Polish:

 The would-be bridegroom tried to explain. He declared that he had mourning letter a month telling him his wife in Poland dead but of the party recalled that for two months he had been courting Miss Cesnao.
 The priest refused to proceed with the ceremony. The policeman came to the altar and took Josephus charge of attempted bigamy. The crowd became too demonstrave for the comfort of the policeman so he quickly shufed his prisoner through the back door to the street. and then the police station where the spent the night in a cell

Reqardinq the Gurads

To the Editor of The Republican
 Sir-While not q native of your state, but ever an American, and since arriving here have noticed d slumbering desire on the part of some of our citizens to arouse interest in the necessity of organization for the protection of our families and nation, especially while the boys" are on the border, I decided to do my part.
 When the boys left for the border several weeks ago it was surely dis appointing to see the lack of interest generally displayed. We are nearer the border than the majority of states vet are really dead to the true con- ditions, while far away sections are organizing as we should have done long ago.
 Before the departure of the boys we had d reasonable amount of pro lection, which, with the police, nigh
 have been ample enough. But have we truly enough now under the exist ing conditions? In the minds of many | it seems not.

THE NATION AND ITS ARMY

The first duty before the country is to free our professional from civilian interference in regard to purely technical questions To the trained officers of the regular army must be given the responsibility for determining the organization and equipment of our military forces. Army posts must be located, not for the convenience of congressman but for their utility as centers of mobilization and training.
 The second duty before the country is to face the facts of our military establishment it now is. AS nation we must learn to distinguish between an army in being and the paper army of legislative fiat
 The third duty before the country is to awake to the realization of the fact that nothing less than uni versal military training prove adequate solu- tion to our problem of defense.
 The fourth and most important duty before tho country is to decide and for all that this universal training must be undertaken, not in return for pay, but as some slight compensation for the privileges of ctizenshp.-The Outlook.

4 Platform Built to Fit

In the republican national convention the first thing the adopten-of declaration of principles which the nominee, whoever he might be, would have to stand. In the democratic convention the platform built to fit the nominee and every act taken to the minutest detail, in accordance with his wishes He was recognized ruler and arbiter of his party His power it to be absolute and unquestioned. .---s-.--
 The platform built solely with reference to the contribution it would offer to the of the party An appeal every possible class of voters is contained in it.
 Considerable opposition had developed to the equal suffrage plank, but that and sienced by the announcement that President Wilson himself considered it vital party success" The matter of the righteousness of the proposed suffrage declaration was not considered, only the expediency of it. The unjust judge did not grant the poor woman's prayer because of the justice of it but because "by tinual coming she wearieth me"
 After all, the democratic dearation with regard to equal suffrage help the and was not intended to help It. It merely permits the states to grant equal suffrage their citizens something the states could do under the constitution without the gracious permission of the democratic convention whose declaration simply that the convention because it believed it ito be vital party success" decided after some dispuaton to go record not being opposed to suffrage.
 The plank with reference the independence of the Philippines ingenious declares that the action congress has taken is "n fulfillment of the policy declared by the democratic party last na tional platform when matter of fact if the last national platform plank the Philippines any thing it meant that the islands should be given their independence at the earliest opportunity as soon as the democratic party in could enough votes to pass independence bill That was the understanding of the democratic advocates of the Jones independence bill stated by them in debate. in both the senate and the house. The present plank looks to the ultimate independence the islands to which practically every American looked eighteen years ago.
 An unusually strong bid is made in the platform for the labor vote. but that is offset by strange silence regarding the trusts which wndmls the democratc party has furiousy tilted at for quarter of q century The also control votes
 The platform re-affirms the doctrine of tariff for revenue only in the face the fact that the Under wood law which the plank extos has left deficit in the treasury made up in part by war tax which rests burden rich and poor alike.
 # The Mexican plank, of course is to be regarded as joke is also the so- -called Americanism plank with its guaranty of the lives and property Amer- can citizens. The writing of the platform altogether must have been difficult and disagreeable job and during the operation the party statesmen must have cursed the practice which requires platforms.
