MONDAY, SEPTEMBER II, 1917,


Can "a man in Oregon legally marry
his Widows sister,"
The general offhanded opinion of
the' majority of PendletOn authorities
is that he can. We have propounded
the question, which was first pro-
pounded to us by w. Kirkpatrick, some
dozens of times and, in almost every
instance, we have been advised that
a man can marry his widows sister,
yet no one has yet been able to ex-
plain just how such a union could be
brought about. Personally, we be-
licve 1t would be a grave undertaking
County Clerk Bob Brown, who Is
the official Cupid and is supposed to
know to whom he can legally issue
a marriage license, showed no hesi-
fancy in his answer Sure he can"
he said "It has been done plenty Of
times" We put the question up to
the county judge and he was equally
positive. you bet he can" quoth
the Judge, IF he can find someone to
perform the ceremony"
Rev. r. f. Clevenger said. why
not?" and the other ministers declared
they had no conscientious scruples
about performing such a ceremony.
"Id try it once" said Tom O'Brien.
District Attorney Keator says there is
nothing in the law to prevent IT. so
there you are. Think it over The
Information may come in handy If you
are ever reincarnated.
Last week we had occasion to quote
"23 Years Ago" item to the effect
that the Weston Leader has suspend
ed for lack of support and to express
the wish that history would repeat
itself. Look what we provoked from
Kernel Wood:
I'VE look for the BulldOgger ed. to
be suspended too. some day-if he
meets the fate such reprobates de-
serve-but not for want of support.

prominent Pendleton lady as "one of

MENNONITES LOYAL
They Came to America to Escape
Kaiserism, Writer says

To the Editor of the State Journal:
We noticed in last Fridays edition
of the Topeka Capital an article ac-
cusing the German-Americans of Mar
ion county of establishing kaiser
schools and encouraging pro-German-
ism, German sympathy and spirit
wish to state that the Mennonite peo-
pie of Marion county cannot be justly
accused of encouraging such things.
The Mennonite people have no more
interest in or sympathy with the Ger
man kaiser than the Americans of
any other descent. The Mennonites
left Germany centuries ago to escape
from the kaiserism and militarism
there, and went to Russia where they
remained until the same system of
militarism began to be put upon them
by the car.
Then they were asked by American
agents to come to the United States
and when they had read the United
States constitution and We're satisfied
that it guaranteed to them their re-
ligious and civil liberty, they came to
the United States. We do not think
that anyone can justly accuse them
of being 1awless, dishonest, immoral
or in any way undesirable citizens.
They strive to be law abiding, quiet
and thrifty and they are deeply reli-
giouS. They appreciate the benefits of
a free government more than many of
the native born, because they have
suffered under the rule of oppression
and they are willing and anxious to
do all that they can do to further the
cause of this country, Ame RIGA.
Their religion torbids them to bear
arms and the government generously
recognized that fact but they are will
ing to do their part in other ways in
which they may be called upon and
there is no thought of loyalty to any
other flag or any other country than
the stars and stripes of the United
States.
Hope you will not hesitate to pub
lish the above statement.

KEEP SCHOOL HEALTHY
Parents With Sick Children Must
Keep Them at Home.

Mothers with children affected, or
thought to be affected, with pink eye
or impetigo, the latter resembling fever
irritations, should rot allow them to
enter school next week unless the
trouble is cured this week, according
to a statement issued today by DR.. H.
L. Clark, city health director.
Doctor Clark also declared that
children affected with any contagious
or infectious ailment must not be al
lowed to go to school until they are
entirely well. In case pupils are af-
fected with pink eye or impetigo, both
of which caused considerable trouble
in Topeka schools last year, they will
be sent home Immediately by teach
ers.
If parents with children who have
contagious or infectious ailments like
the mumps, measles, scarlet fever,
smallpox or whooping cough send
them to school, the health authorities
will issue warrants If an investiga-
ton discloses that the parents even
suspected the children were suffering
with such an ailment.
bad teeth and tonsils should also
be looked after before the children
enter school," Clark said, today
Parents could do nothing better than
cure anything that is wrong with their
children before school opens Mon
day"
