AFTER THE MALODOROrs MARRIAGE Mill.

AFTER THE MAL0DOROUS MARRIAGE MILL
CTATE SENATOR WILLIAMS of Cecil county, has
~ introduced in the Maryland Legislature a bill
framed for the purpose Of destroying crpplng the
malodorous marriage mill in Ekton The bill is in the
nature Of an amendemnt to the State marriage law.
Another bill, with the general end in view has
been introduced by member from the Western Shore
of Maryland The prevailing hope is that the Legsla
ture will take action TO suppress the Gretna Greens
which have become disgrace to the State and a
menace to American society
II is in the Ekton end Of the situation that Della
wareans and Delmarvians interested most acutey.
Conditions in that offense to decent men
and women. Commercialized preachers have fattened
upon the law it exists today They any inter-
ference with the work they doing. With most Of
them it SENS to be Of:
want herr"
"Yesl"
Take her"
want him?
"Yesl"
Take him! Five collars. pleasel Next"
The time is sure to when aroused public senti-
ment will be reflected by legislation in Annapolis. We
hope that time has arrived and that the rocked
tors OF the marriage mill will be put Of bus-
ness Il is pity they be compelled to disgorge
the tainted money they earned result Of put
ting premium upon eopements and other forms Of
hasty ill-adyised and harmful marriages.

Leave to Print" Abuses.

| The leave 20 print privilege has al
grcss, especially ON the eve of a po-
litcal campaign. As for words actua lily
spoken in debate the House and Sen
ate have their rules for immediate APP
pication which prevent serious breaches
of dcco:um and keep the Congressional
Record free from improper matters.
But when Il member of either house OBJ
tainS permission to extend" his re-
marks III the Record a way is opened
for possible improprieties against which
there is no safeguard.
The latest ease in point is that of a
Texas member, who. having uttered no
words i'll debate. at some time obtained
the pro forma leave to print and pro-
ccedcd to insert i'll the Record So
called speech. under the heading Amer
icanism and Patriotism" that has been
characterized as the most offensive mat
ter ever published i'll an official paper.
1t is to the high credit of the House
that promptly upon publication a ques-
ton was raised against it, and com
mittee was named to consider its ex-
pungement. But so Tar as the initial
issue of the Record goes the damage
has been done and thousands Of copies
have been sent forth under frank into
the country.
There is no cheek upon this sort of
publication save the sense of propriety
Of the individual member of Congress.
The leave to print carries with it an
implied injunction against printing any
thing that would fall under the rules of
prohibition if spoken on the floor. At
the government printing Office there is
no one with authority to interpose an
objection or to call to attention leave
to print" matter that possibly violates
those rules. In fact. the Congressional
Record is the only daily paper i'll this
country without an editor.
This experience. which has shocked
the House and offended all readers or
the Record suggests the need Of some
assured safeguard against breaches of
propriety in enjoyment of the "ieave
to print" IL is surely possible to au
thcriZe some one to examine all these
extended remarks" with a view TO de
termine whether they would be per
Gitted if spoken on the floor. Oeca
sonal rebukes and eXpungements serve
TO warn all members then sitting
against similar olfenses, but these rare
instances do not act an assured check
for all time Inasmuch as the Congress

But there was one likeness to the for

Mexican OBJECTIONS.

Denials of Herreras revolt against
Carramza and his espousai OF Villas
cause have been 50 specifically and
promptly made that there is no reason
at present TO question them. although
other reports have come to con-
fuse the situation and make for doubts
in some minds along the border.
That Villa hoped at the outset of his en-
terprse at Columbus to arouse the NAL
contents of northern Mexico in a gen
eral revolution against Carranza and
the United States is not to be doubted.
The line of loyalty in that part of Mex
ico-in practically every part, in truth
is a slender one. Men change sides cas-
ily Sometimes they change back and
forth several times in the course OF a
revolt 1t was fixed principle of Por-
firio Diaz that the revOlutionist. cap
the best soldier for the republic. His
ruraies of the northwest were mostly
former outlaws. And Diaz knew that
practically every man of them would go
back if he thought there was chance
to go in safety.
1t is fairly assured that Villa will get
some recruits from the disatfectcd Car
ranzistas He may get substantial as
sistance from some who continue 10 pro
fcss loyalty to Carranza. Many of the
soldiers of the de facto government are
his former adherents, whose desertion
he would promptly forgive if they JOIN

is, in truth. decidedly hard PROPOSE
ton to deal with in this situation, and
both Carranza and the United States
Will have difficulty catching him.
But Villa must he caught or there is
no peace for Mexico and no security for
the American people living on or near
the Mexican border. No matter how
many Carranzista troops prove disloyal
and no matter how many men are nee
essary from this side to get results, the
campaign must be carried through.

Hughes Tells What He Would Have
Done When Lusitania Sunk

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 12.-Charles +.
Hughes answering a question here to-
night as to what he would have done
when the Lusitania was sunk, declared
that he would have made it known in
terms unequivocal and unmistakable
that we should not tolerate a continu-
ance Of friendly relations" when no
tice was published with reference to
the threatened action"
Mr.. Hughes was in the midst Of his
discussion on the maintenance Of
American rights when he was inter
rupted by the question.
"The path of peace is the path of
self respect, which maintains the dig
nifty Of our citizenship and cements the
friendship of all nations" he said. A
man from the audience interrupted
him.
Justice Hughes, just a moment.
Please permit a respectful interrupt
tion," shouted the man. What would
you have done"
The speaker got no further for the
moment. His voice was drowned in
cries, boots and catcalls.
please permit the question to be
asked" requested Mr.. Hughes. 81 do
not want anyone shut off from a
courteous question. Go on, sir" the
nominee added, turning to the ques-
toner.
please ask your question"
To cries Of go on you boob" and
general hum Of voices the questioner
continued: II ask you with all respect
that know, what would you have
done when the Lusitania was sunk
See if you can answer that"
Mr.. Hughes paused for moment.
al will answer this" the nominee
said. There was considerable confus-
ion in the hall and he continued
''Now permit me to answer Sir,
would have had the state department,
