girl, to wed the 37-year-old ruffian of the
Missouri swamps.
There is no doubt that a crime was COM
mitted up in that little county in southeast
Missouri, but the real crime was committed,
not when the child-wife slew her step-daugh-
ter, but when the officer of the great state,
the officer sworn to do his duty, granted a
permit to wed, to this child, an another and
more serious crime was perpetrated. crime
against society, crime against decency, a
crime against the laws of God, when the
marrying minister so far forgot the sanctity
of his cloth as to speak the words which
bound this child to man three times her
age, which delivered her soul into bondage
and embodied her body into his lustful en-
braces.
The man who granted the marriage License
and the man who performed the marriage
ceremony are, in our opinion, the real cul-
urits, the men who were primarily respon-
sible for the killing and the men who should
be held amenable to an outraged society and
made to suffer.
Unfortunately the laws of the different
states are all too lax along the lines of marry
ing and giving in marriage. The parents
come before the clerk of the courts and swear
to the age of the girl and the clerk, without
thoroughly probing and inquiring into the
matter, writes out the license, collects his
fee and sends the chid-bride on to the con-
scienceless preacher or justice of the peace,
who speaks the words which should damn
him forever in the eyes of all self-respecting
persons, collects his fee, grns, congratulates
the happy" couple and like the barber in
busy shop on Saturday afternoon, blythely
calls out Next as he whistles Little An

Judge Huck, the man who dismissed the
murder charge against the irresponsible child
wife, the girl who was, in the eyes of the law,
an infant, did his duty toward God and man
when he freed the child. He stepped outside
the sanction of the law and exercised common
sense when he did this. Were he now to go
bit further to take one more step outside
. sides, and send to Jail the mother who gave
her sanction to sacriligeous marriage he
would win for himself the encomiums of all
good and honest and upright citizens, not of
his home state alone, but of every state in
the union.-George H. Wyatt.

WHEN DOES OLD ACE BEGIN?

Are you beginning to get old?
This question interests you now, if you
are on the shady side of 40, with crows feet
appearing around your eyes and stiffness
creeping into your joints. Young folks, now
light-hearted and Indifferent to the steady
flight of youth, will have their turn later.
Folklore says that man is as old as he
feels-and woman as old as she looks be-
fore breakfast.
But is that true? For instance

Muskogee. He's 70 years old. Learned to

The boy Che was only 43) bet me new hat
couldn't learn. took him up, and, in the
face of laughing wife and all the kids in
the neighborhood, learned to ride in three
days And I'd like to see any of them beat
me now for long or short distances.
"Its my notion that most of the woes of
mankind and womankind could be cured if
these sorrowful old grouches would get BIZ
cycles and take rides through the country.
My advice to any man with one foot in the
grave is to pull it out and get it to working on
