Mr.. Higgins is on the lookout for the

Tennessean, contemporary OF the
Banner. The publishers were treated
to debate lasting more than an hour
The debate, however, was largely on
the part of Maj. Stahlman, who op-
posed the election of his former news
paper rival on the ground that the
Tcnnessean had attacked Maj. Stahl-
mans patriotism during the war. The
major quoted editorials from his own
paper and fom those of his contem-
porary, and related how he had ap-
peared before an investigating commit
tee in Washington and had been eX-
onerated from all reflections that
touched his loyalty

The militia companies, although no

was recognized as probable by officials
after reports had been received that
strikers at Argo were in a sullen mood
today and threatening revenge for the
shooting of several of their number by
guards.
Two more strikers who were shot

TWO CONCEPTIONS OF
MARRIAGE EXISTS

London, July 9.-There Is a
wide discussion in England OF
a plea made by the Bishop OF
Lichfleld in sermon to the
Mothers union in st. Paul's in
which he said:
There are In England two
conceptions of marriage at the
present time. According to one
idea marriage simply exists for
the pleasure and satisfaction
of the husband and wife.
IF the sexual impulse, which
they call love, ceases, then the
union is to be dissolved. The
idea of service and loyalty is
eliminated.
'"The other idea is that of
the Mothers union: that mar
riage creates the home, which
is the best sphere for mutual
service"
The bishop condemned arti-
fetal expedients but this did not
mean that every home should
have the largest possible fam
lily. In marriage, as in other
things, self restraint must be
exercised, he said. ~
