 Both would serve good purpose, b|' the automatic marriage law, if ell forced, would prove the best to reach and prosecute the seducer.
 Suppose the guilty man is married? Well, in that case he could be pros" cuted for bigamy, couldn't he?
 The automatic marriage bill sounds like real gol legislation. Considering that. these are the kind Of laws being advocated by women, it is not surprising t!lat some males object to granting women the right Q vote.

WELCOME t917.

As the youngster 1917 is entered on the ledger of life, 1916's accoun! will be marked closed" The latter has been year treighted with matters of immense istorical po!- tent, and 1917 promises to equal it's record.
 And as 1916 quits the stage in favor of the newcomer. the heart of man gulps--another year gone!
 Yes, we are all getting older. That's the message that the new year emphasizes It forces upon us the reflection that every new year means step closer to the abyss of death ; and every thinking person in Pine Bluff, except the young. who imagine they have many New Years to eN- perience. meets the turning of the an nual new leaft with the mature phi osophy which seeks 70 assuase the llaceration of the lash of time.
 Is tho reflection one that another year of opportunity thas began so aus piciously-like all new years begln-~ has gone to waste? or is it the re- flection that the year brought satis' factory execution O. the fondty formulated plans of 1915?
 Many Pine Bluff folk try to send out the waning year with paeans ot jollification and welcome the new with riotous expressions of welcome. It's custom that. perhaps. finds is highest development along the Great White Ways of the large cities. But this practice does not rt ach the heart, merely being one of the artificialities of modern civilization.
 For in reality the disappearance of cue year and the beginalng of another is serious, solemn, doleful and mel ancholy. Because down in ones heart there is no joy over the rapid passing of time-which is no. only worth money" but is worth more than money, being in fact inc texture ,f life. Man only tries @ fool himseif into being joyful over the droppins of the sands of time
 We are all alike. We make believe we are perfectly happy over it, but we're not.

Supreme Court Vacancy.

The announcement by Chief Justice
Loveland Munson that he will not be
a candidate for reelection is no sur
prise to his friends. He has reached
an age that entities him to retirement
from active labor and his record as a
member of the supreme court of Yer
mont is such that he Will retire with
the full respect of the people. It will
be remembered that an attempt was
made about two years ago to shelve
for it and elected him as chief justice.
It was a fine endorsement of the man
and his work and a very satisfactory
thing to come before his voluntary
retirement.
The Manchester Journal which
printed Justice Munson's retirement
also announced that Bennington coun-
ty will probably present the name of
Hon. Robert e. Healy of Bennington
as a candidate for justice of the su-
preme court, stating that the retire
ment of Justice Munson would leave
Bennington county without a repre-
sentative on the supreme bench We
know nothing regarding the matter
but shall not be surprised if an at
tempt is made to promote one of
the superior judges to the supreme
bench and let the new judge begin
with the lower courts. If the pre-
cedent of seniority is followed Justice
John NJ Watson will be made chief
justice and Willard w. Miles will be
promoted from superior judge to
Justice of the supreme court

Billy sundays Methods

We have previously printed some
of the remarks of Editor Hindley of
the Rutland Herald who went to Bos-
ton to hear Billy Sunday. We now
reproduce a part of an editorial by
Editor Lord of the Island Pond Her
aid who has not been to hear the
man. After declaring he was not in
sympathy with Mr.. Sundays methods
Editor Lord said:-
1T is difficult to compare Sundays
teachings with the man of Nazareth,
who could see the good in everyone
as well as the evil, and never failed
to rebuke the sins of the people nor
forget their good acts. Tt wasn't nee
essary for Jesus Christ to use slang
and profanity to make his reprOof
of evil effective. His words to the
woman by the wayside and his an
swer to Satan who tempted him as
never man was tempted, were effec-
tive but they carried none Of the We
hement slang of Billy Sunday The
Saviour's teaching will go down
through the ages with increasing pow
er for good while Billy Sundays are
ephemeral and will be forgotten as
freak utterances of frenzied sensa-
tionalism."
We, too, feel that Billy Sunday robs
from religion it's dignity and reduces
it's strength. Sunday can never pic
ture the weaknesses of the vain glori-
he described the prayer of the Phar-
isee. He never can impart in slang
expressions the mercy and tenderness
