A Marriage Graft

Hundreds Of good people in De-
troit are taking strenuous exceptions
to practices instituted by Oakman,
the present county clerk of Wayne
county. There is installed in his of
flee a man who is known as Judge
Humbert, Of Dearborn. This man
does all the marrying, gets all the
fees and sells newly married couples
fancy marriage certificates worth
around ten cents for monetary con-
siderations' which, it is alleged, run
up to five dollars. It's almost as good
a graft as saying masses for de-
parted souls. Swat 0akInan.

Ne TEMERE DRIVES
LIBERALS FROM ROME
Kentucky Hierarchy a Little Too
Severe On Laity and Too Leni-
ent With Immoral Priests

AS an illustration of Rome's ne
temere decree in force, Louisville.
KY, furnishes a recent example:
A young lady from Lexington, Of
social prominence, while visiting
Louisville decided to get married. Her
tiance, a Roman Catholic and we'll
known business man from the same
place, visited two or more priests Of
his church, both of whom refused to
solemnize the marriage with a Prot
estant without a Special DISPENSE
ton" and other formalities. Mr.. K,
the Catholic gentleman, was one an
CRY man and proposed marriage
with Protestant minister of the
young lady's own church. This at
first she was unwilling to have done.
as she was well aware of the idiotic
view her lovers family might take
Of such a marriage, but finally con-
sented and Rev. F. T. Thomas, 4
Presbyterian pastor, was called in,
and the two happily Joined, the
preacher especially emphasizing the
necessity of obeying the laws Of the
country. Whether a church cere-
mony under Roman auspices will
follow is not known, but it is said
most of the young mans family were
married by Protestant preachers and
his mother thought he did exactly
right, though she is q Roman Cath
olic, married to a Protestant.
The young lady in question has q
brother who married very sweet
Catholic girl, but was compelled to
give up Masonry and swear TO all
the laws of the church in such cases
before he got her.
In Cincinnati, Ohio, the archbishop
has become alarmed at the drift of mis-
laity away from the church on ac-
count of this decree and has lately
seen fit to grant all priests blanket
dispensation enabling them to "for-
give" repentant members for COM
mitting the crime Of marrying Prot
estants before Protestant preachers
or magistrates, and likewise to "for-
give" the horrible sin SO many have
committed of sending their children
to public schools.
The church laws in Kentucky seem
to be proving little too silly for
even the Knights of Columbus to sup
port in some cases. Not long ago in
Covington, the Knights undertook to
bury a deceased member with patri-
otic ceremonies including an Amer
lean flag borne in the procession. At
the door of the church the flag was
stopped and the bearer informed he
could not bring it in. Result, a very
mad flag bearer and companions.

The Bosses Dummies

Don't wait for the bosses to choose
the candidates and then pick the ones
you want to support. AS soon as
one election is over the bosses are
busy picking the next slate and you've
only one chance to beat their game.
That Is to be just as vigilant in get
ting the citizens together and picking
your own candidates as the bosses are
in getting together for the same pur-
pose. People, this is your government
but it cannot be truly SO unless you
pick the men who shall represent you
instead Of letting the bosses put up
their own dummies. "Git hip to
that and you'll be better of.

T1T7N spite of the unusually hot
I'LL weather Rome has refrained
M from enjoying any moments
of leisure in the shade during
the past few weeks in Detroit. The
political pot has been boiling over
"a hours in every day and the pope's
minions have been sweating blood.
Every conceivable trick is being
used to get things in hand SO the
old church will win which ever way
The primary goes on August 27th.
The mayoralty situation is prob
ably the most complicated. For
that Office five candidates are max
ing the race. The most interesting
feature is the manner in which lead
ing papal politicians are switching
around so as to hold a string at
every turn. They are seeking COM

The Machine Pussyfootiug

1t looks like Jim Cousins is the
man in whom Rome places her
hopes, and the rest of you with a
papist tied here and there to your
apron strings are going to do some
skidding on the sand of political
misfortune for your flirtations with
the old spinster Of the dark ages.
She'll ditch you when it comes time
and so will a good many others who
would have been glad to stand by
you earlier in the game.
THE MENACE, as yet, holds no
brief for any of the mayoralty can
didates. So far as we know and
are able to find out Gillispie has not
aligned himself with our friend the
enemy but neither has any candi-
cate come out openly and said he
will use his power if elected mayor,
to prevent the further operation of
Detroit's municipal affairs in the
interest of the Roman church. When
the time comes and the man is
available THE MENACE will know it
and will tell what it knows.
Considerable interest is also show
ing up in quarters where it was
least expected. That is in the race
for judge Of probate. Command
and Hubert have been wanting the
field to themselves. Every time a
lawyer Of Detroit talked of becom-
ing a candidate for the office dark
influences set to work to get him
out of the notion and everything
looked bright for these men who
have made it more easily possible
for the Detroit House of Good
Shepherd to become the most no.
torious and profitable slave pen in
the state. But at the last moment
the petition Of Royal Ferris Sweet
appeared on the scene and it be-
came apparent that there would be

ABANDONS ARKANSAS AUTO IN ALBANY, N. Y.

A 1918 Hupmcbile was abandoned in Albany, N. Y., by man who gave his address as Pine Bluff, when ob- taining an automobile license.
 The Albany police found the car, which bore Arkansas license 24,4 AS. They communicated with the Arkan- sas highway department and were in- formed that the tag was issued to c. J. Connolly, who gave his address as Pine Bluff. The Albany officials then communicated with Chief of Po- l lice Frank Stewart.
 The records at the tax collectors office here do not show that e. J. Connolly paid his auto license in Jef- ferson. He paid it elsewhere and gave Pine Bluff as his address. The name of c. J. Connolly does not ap-
 pear in the city directory, and efforts to identify him as a resident have been unsuccessful.

Women r 'ccsz1ea Wanting Now Means Coal W ant in, Winter
Failure to Order Coal Supply Is Called Wilfui Cnprepare- ness by Mrs. Asbury F. Lever.

"Wilful unpreparedness," is what Mrs. Asbury F. Lever, wife of Rep resentative Lever of South Carolina, author of the United States Fuel Administration measure, believes the American housewife will be guilty of if she does not heed the request Of the United States Fuel Administration and order her winter supply of coal early.
 "A busy housewife may not al ways have time to reason this early coal buying plan out to her satisfac- tton," said Mrs. Lever, but every one who remembers the fuel com- plications of last winter should be willing to help avert the suffering entailed by another such winter.
 "I have already filed with my local coal dealer .an order for two- thirds of the amount of coal re- quired to heat my Washington resi- dence through the winter" con- tinued Mrs. Lever.
 "If women are found wanting now-then I fear that coal may be fonud wanting in homes this win- ter," she saiG.

Hard to Think of Words.

Inability to choose the right word often places a speaker in an embar rassing position. Many business men lose much valuable time because they find 1t difficult to express what they want to say when they dictate their correspondence. Greater freedom anf. accuracy In speaking and writing can be acquired by studying dictionary. A few minutes devoted to the study of words and their meaning each, day will in a short time result in great benefit to anyone who will put that practice to . teGt.
