Marriage Outranks School

A decision rendered by Magistrate
Charles N. Harris yesterday in the
Municipal Term of the City Magis-
trates' Court may prove to be an in
ducement for girls to get married
young. The magistrate decided that
married girls under sixteen years of
age need not go to school.
The matter came before the court on
the complaint against Joseph Conre-
losi, of 269 Elizabeth Street. whose
daughter, Cecilia, fifteen years old,
quit school prior to her marriage last
Saturday. The complaint was made by
an inspector of the Board of Educa-
tion, who asked Magistrate Harris to

OF 100000 Men
Advocates of Reduction Win
Point After Losing in
Attempt Definitely to
Amend It's, 600 Measure
Officer Quota Still $4,000
Kahn Contends That War
Proved Necessity for Re-
tanning a Trained Staff

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a definite
step toward reduction of the regular
army to 10000 men was taken to-day
when the House approved an appropria-
tion sufficient only for the maintenance
of a force of that size during the fiscal
year beginning July /.
The action was taken after attempts
had failed to amend the army appro-
priation bill to provide for 10000 en-
listed men and to decrease the number
of officers from $4,000 to approximately
5000.
The instant the section of the bill
appropriating funds for the pay Of
enlisted men during The coming fiscal
year was reached a dozen Representa-
tives were on their feet clamoring for
recognition. Amendments came pour
ing in and for an hour members re-
vived the small army versus large army
debate that has enlivened many q
session of Congress.
Discharge of Boys Authorized
The net result, however, was success
for the efforts of the appropriations
committee to keep the measure practi-
cally intact, all amendments being
voted down except one by Representa-
tive Johnson, Republican, of South
Dakota, authorizing the discharge from
the army of youths under eighteen
years old, on their application or al
the request of their parents or guar.
/ dians. AT the request Of Representa-
tive Wingo, Democrat, of Arkansas, the
i. House voted to grant such lads hon.
orable discharges.
The appropriation bill as amended
carries $72,67S,659 for the pay of en-.
listed men during the twelve months
beginning July 1. This amount is suf
ficient for force of 100000, according
to Representative Anthony, of Kansas
chairman of the appropriations sub
committee which framed the measure.
Representative Greene, of Vermont
Republican member of the Military
Committee, introduced an amendment
to increase the amount to $84 $40 300
enough, he said, for the pay of 175 ,0OC
men. 1t was voted down, as to is.
| Another amendment which met de
feat was offered by Representativ
Hastings, Democrat, of Oklahoma
which would have required the War De
partment to reduce the army to $50 ,OOC

THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

a
Harry A. Swenson, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Solomon Swenson Of Lafayette
village, and cashier of the State Bank
Of Alton, had a thrilling experience, re
Gently, when that financial institution
was robbed of $500 in cash and $1,500
in negotiable securities. At the point
of a pistol in the hand Of lone, masked
bandit, Cashier Swenson and Miss
Esther Schulz, assistant cashier, were
ordered into the bank vault, where
upon the bold bad man helped himself
to some loose change and the securities
and escaped in an auto. Fortunately
Mr.. .Swenson found a screw driver in
the vault, with which he removed the
lock, thus liberating himself and Miss
Schulz. No clue of the bandit has as
yet been found. Mr.. Swenson was
formerly employed as assistant cashier
of the Farmers State Bank of La
fayette, removing to Alton, Mimi,
in January, 1914, to accept the posi-
tion of cashier of that institution.

STILL AT LARGE.

John Kuzmen, the Russian woods
man, who shot his brother to death
during quarrel in their shack on the
banks Of the Minnesota river in Lake
Prairie township, Nicollet county, is
still at large. It will be rmembered
that he related the occurrence to
neighbors, claiming that the gun with
which his brother was killed, was ac-
cidentally discharged. After telling
his story, Kuzmen, under the pretext
of desiring to return to the shack,
disappeared and has not been seen
since. Sheriff Norman Of Nicollet
county has had post cards printed,
containing likeness, as well as de-
scription of the murderer, which have
been sent out broadcast to police
authorities.

Much of what the plutocratic daily
press publishes anent the ''trou bles"
between the United States and Japan
is nothing more or less than an at
tempt to create hatred of the Orientals
in this country and to foment senti-
ment favorable for war between the
two countries. Similar insiduous pro-
paganda has preceded every war that
has been fought on the globe during
past decades and in many instances,
at least, it will be found upon investi-
cation that the money-lenders and
munitions manufacturers are at the
bottom of it. They can we'll afford to
pay heavy tribute to constituencies

The Mankato Free Press reminds
the Republican party of Minnesota
that it has made certain promises to
the voters of Minnesota committing
itself to the adoption Of tonnage tax
law. There can be no argument on
that point nor should there be any
quibbling as to the enactment of a
statute which will conform to the reso-
luticn which the party conference
adopted last year" says the Free Press
in commenting upon the matter. If
our memory serves us right, the party
conference referred to above committed
itself to the adoption Of reasonable"
tonnage tax, without designating
whether it was to be reasonable for
the steel trust or reasonable for the
people Of Minnesota. In view Of this
fact, it should not prove very difficult
for Governor Preus and his retinue of
steel trust fedglings to cucumber the
statute books of the state with a
reasonable tonnage tax law-.trea-
ssona ble' at least so far as the mining
monopoly Of the state is concerned.

Wantc1a Wastetatlness..

& When Congress awarded $600,000,-
900 isix hundred million dollars) of the
taxpayers money to the all-devouring
railroads under the infamous Esch-
Cummins law, we were inclined to lift
our feeble voice in protest, believing
that it was ponderously big bonus to
pay on shockingly bad service.
But now, in view of disclosures made
of wanton wastefulness by the rail-
roads, our inclination is to extend our
devout thanks to the rail magnates for
their seeming moderation, for, with
such an enormously large sinkhole in
which to dump their earnings, they
might easily have tripled their already
vast net deficit and, in consequence,
prevail upon Congress to appropriate
an even greater amount OF public
funds.
The disclosures referred to above
relate to the buccaneering methods OF
operating railroads under private
ownership and give added significance
to the near-success of the rail interests
in securing surreptitious suspension
of Section 10 of the Clayton Act. They
(the disclosures were made by repre-
sentatives of the railway employees be-
fore the Federal Railway Labor Board,
who declared that 80 per cent OF the
country's railway mileage is controlled
by IL New York banks, which, in turn,
are controlled by rs men (no, not rail
way employesD; also, that this group
Of banks has interlocking directorates
with 20 leading railway equipment
concerns.
Of late the practice of the. railroads
has been to allot to these outside con-
Germs" which, in fact, are very, much
on the inside }, on cost-plus basis,
contracts for repairs, which, according
to the representative railway em-
ployes who testified before the Railway
Labor Board, could have been done for
ome-third as much money in the COM
pany shops. On the day following the
giving OF testimony by these represen-
tatives, Jesse Lauck, representing the
National Association of Machinists,
published some very interesting figures
showing the enormous excess in cost
OF repairs done by the Outside COM
panies" over those executed in the rail
way shops-an excess which, if the
practice were allowed to continue,
| would amount to 81 100000, 900 lone
billion, four hundred million douarsD
per year.
While this enormous and wanton
wastefulness is an additional, and, in
fact, unnecessary burden upon the
taxpayers of the United States, still
this staggering sum is, in reality, not
wasted, for, by reason of the, inter
locking directorates of the grating
