Do Away With sObey.,

Editor the Missouran: Now that
woman has the right of suffrage and
has equal legal rights before the law,
the question has arisen whether the
woman must still be enjoined in the
marriage ceremony to make her will
subservient to that of her husbands s
by promising to obey.
Oftentimes the women is unknow-
ingly the intellectual and moral su-
perior of her husband. When in 2
crisis of decision why should she be
placed in a position where she must
perjure herself and break her mar
riage vow? Is it not sometimes the
duty of true wife to disobey the
man1ates of an unprincipled husband ,
The woman of today is neither child
nor slave. She is the recognized
equal of her husband Many women
have done as many notable things in
the various fields of activity of the
world today as have men.
One minister in Colorado has chang.
ed the marriage service to read re
spond to- instead of "obey.' This is
better than ''obey" but it is still far
from perfect solution. One can
respond to person with flatiron or
in any number of ways. 1t lacks def
niteness- A better suggestion has
been made that woman taking the
marriage vow should be enjoined to be
loving, faithful and dutiful wife,
The minister who has tried this inno-
yation has had passionate of fifty-odd
years. during which time he has per-
formed the marriage ceremony for
more than thousand couples.

USED FORDS $1,000 AND UP
5000 People Attend Government Sale
of Secondhand Vehicles.

LONDON, July "a (by maiD Thou
sands of people in England have been
waiting for the government to sell
OFF its worn out and surplus motor
vehicles and were expecting bargains,
or at least to be able to buy below
the high prices maintained by the
dealers. Just how high these prices
are can be judged from the fact that
the ordinary Ford four-seater sells
here secondhand at anything from
$1,000 uL.
So when the government sale began
the private buyers came into London
by the hundred hoping to get ahead
OF the dealers. They rushed the Royal
Agricultural Hall and when it was
packed full stood in long queues out
side.
Early in the day it became evident
that private buyers on the lookout for
bargains were going to be disappoint-
ed. Several of them privately owned
that they had come expecting to pick
up a motorcycle, or the remains of
one, for about S25 and to spend about
that much on repairs. Their hopes
must have fled when they say what
was once an Indian motorcycle, now
nothing but mangled framework
without wheels, disposed of for $50.

THE PRINCE OF WALES
is NOW A FISHMONGER

| close of which he offered the right
hand of fellowship to the prince and
greeted him as "a citizen and fish
monger"
These interesting ceremonies sent
ones mind back to the part played by
| the great livery companies $50 called
from their distinctive dress) in the
life of the city of London from the
earliest times. OF these the fishmon-
gers were among the most important,
ranking fourth in order of precedence.
Only the MERGERS, grocers and drapers
came before them. In the twelfth
century they had complete control of
the fish trade in the city of London
and for many centuries following they
increased in power and civic authori-
ty. Companies of the same class as
the livery companies of London were
at one time normal feature of social
life throughout Europe, but in most
places they have entirely disappeared
In England the form and organiza-
ton remain practically the same,
though the functions have completely
altered. More than seventy of these
companies are extant today, and their
names are a suggestive reminder of
the life of the Middle Ages.
Craft Guilds Regulate Trade.
The livery companies of London
had their origin in the craft guilds
which gradually ousted the earlier and
less democratic merchants guilds, and
obtained monopoly of the trades in
which their members were engaged.
They had extensive powers of regu-
lating trade, and appointed overseers
to inspect wares. Everyone carrying
on trade was compelled to belong
to them. In the fourteenth century
they assumed the character of corpor-
ations and their privileges were con-
firmed by letters patent. In 1875 the
right of election of all corporate Of
ficers. including members of Parlia-
ment, was transferred to them and for
a long time after they engrossed po-
lltical power in the city of London
down in fact to the Reform Act of
1882. King Edward III became men,
ber of the merchant tailors and from
that time until the present day many
royal and other distinguished persons
have followed his example.

WAR RISK INSURANCE

Never before in the history of the
country have soldiers been given the
opportunity of taking out government
insurance. During the past war the
maximum policy was $4,000 at rate
which most privates could afford. Ev-
cry soldier was urged to insure HIM
self, not only for his own benefit, but
also for his dependents. A soldier
losing limb in battle, or being so
incapacitated as to prevent self-sup-
port, would, by virtue of the insur-
ance, receive enough to live on for
twenty years on maximum policy.
Since rehabilitation most of the
soldiers have allowed their insurance
to lapse, due either to lack of money
or to Indifference. The premiums are
small in proportion to the amount
paid out and the government is losing
millions of dollars. The provisions of
policies have been revised and amend
ed to meet these conditions. A policy
can still be recalled after lapse of
nine months, and under peculiar con-
ditions after a maximum lapse of
eighteen months policies can still be
reinstated
1t is the duty of soldiers and rela-
tives of soldiers to look into the
possibilities of the future and antici
pate disasters by protection. Most
of the soldiers are young and full of
confidence which makes them careless
of the years to come. This attitude
should be changed.

THE .SHOw.YOU, STATE

Everyone is familiar with the
phrase, 81 am from Missouri; you'll
have to show me-, but few people
know its derivation. 1t is said that
in the early seventies, there lived in
a mining town in Nevada a man
whom the entire community feared
and respected for his fighting ability
and his ability tc win 70 matter what
the odds. This man was from Arkan-
sas and was so often heard boasting
of his native state that he was called
Arkansas.
One day stranger came into the
saloon, lanky solemn-faced boy.
You, kid" shouted Arkansas, see
ing prospect for another fight and
another victory, you want to be
mighty blamed careful around here.
I'm from Arkansas, l am"
The young fellow merely glanced at
the man.
Say you" roared the man. Il say
I'm from Arkansas"
Yes, drawled the stranger, 81
heard you the first time"
Arkansas went into a rage. "Ya
don't know me, huh? Well, | eat 'em
like you every morning before break
fast. | am the best two-handed man
in the county"
The youth jerked off his coat. We'll,
by gosh, I'm from Missouri; you got
to show me or I'll show you!"
The stranger proceeded to give the
bad man a good thrashing and was
carried in triumph through the town.
The story may be fictitious but the
spirit of it is true. You have to show
Missouri people or they will show
you. Missouri has been a "show-you"
state since her birth one hundred
years ago. Her first act was charac-
terized by independence, when after
she was refused admission to the
Union she became a state with duly
selected government officials wear
before a new star was added to the
flag of the United States.

LONDON, July % (by aiD.-The
prince of Wales, soon to visit Amer
lea, has become fishmonger. Let
me hasten to destroy the mental pic
ture which this conjures of his royal
highness presiding in a white apron
over one of the little open shops
which temptingly display their wares
in close proximity to the passing pub
lie. What it really means is that the
prince was the chief actor in quaint
and stately ceremony, rich in his
toric significance. There are many
such in English life, linking the pres
ent with remote centuries and pro-
ducing an impression of unbroken
continuity which is strangely fascin-
ating to visitors from newer lands.
On this occasion the prince was ad
mitted to the freedom of the fish
mongers' company at dinner in the
Fishmongers Hall. The prime warden
of the fishmongers, in proposing the
health of the newly admitted free
man, referred to the fact that the
company had been associated with the
royal family for more than $50 years
and presented the prince with GER
tificate of membership and a silver
bowl. In his reply the latter referred
to the long history of the corpora
ton both as a protecting power of
the fish commerce and social and
charitable society,""
Given the Freedom of City.
A few days later the prince drove
to the Guildhall in an open landau,
drawn by four horses with postillions
in blue and white and outriderS in
scarlet, to receive the freedom of the
city of London. The lord mayor and
the city officials met him at the en-
trance. After the opening formalities
the lord mayor rose and asked. "Who
presents his Royal Highness?" The
prime warden and warden of the fish
mongers at once stood up and pre-
sented the prince for the freedom in
the capacity of honorary freeman of
their company. The prince made a
solemn declaration of loyalty to the
king and obedience to the lord mayor
and promised to observe all obliga-
tions imposed upon him. Then the
chamberlain made an address, at the
