When wc dig back into the origin
of many OF the customs which sur
round marriage, even when IL IL re-
ssarded in tho light of a religious cere-
mony. 1t is surprising to find the num-
Der of signs which point directly to
the days when n wedding was merely
a matter OF agreement between "A man
and a woman. and force. rather than
courtship. was the principal argument
used.
The FIRST form of marriage outside of
a tribe was the marriage by capture" :"
The bridegroom simply went out. ac-
companicd by n friend or two. seized
upon some woman who appealed to
him. and carried her OF TO his home.
In modern marriage the very name of
best man" bears witness to this GUS
ton which antedatcs Christianity by
many hundreds of years. for the best
man is simply the successor to the
strong-armed warrior who assisted tho
groom to carry off his bride, just as
the wedding ring symbolizcs tho
thongs with which the bride was
bound, and the old shoes thrown after
the couple. take the place OF the missiles
hurled by the pursucrs OF the past
The honeymoon Itself is nothing moro
than tho space of time when the capt
or had to hide his prize from her kins-
men until their consent had been
gained.

decision of the government to its power to prevent
such strangulation of the life of the nation, meant
nothing else than civil and the of the srik
would nothing else than the overthrow Of the
present British government and the establishment of
another kind of government in its place.
The recent reports indicate that there are many of
the union Of Great Britain who do desire that
kind Of revolution. They are engaged in indus
trial conflict and not in political insurrection. They
fighting against wage reductions, but they not
fighting, and they will not fight to overtur the British
government and to give control of public affairs into
the British equivalents Of Trotsky and Lenine.
Such decision is most commendable. With all its
faults the present industrial system the only system
known to men by which industrial production can be
carried successfully and the material necessities of
an industrial population be supplied Every
pertinent with any other system whenever and wher-
tried . small scale or large one has resulted
in disaster.
And with all its faults and defects the system of
representative government based upon the freely ex-
pressed will of the majority, with constitutional safe
guards of minority rights is the only system by which
peace liberty and the rights of man can be established
and maintained.

is AMERICA GOING HIGHBR0W?

our soldiers came back from tho war
singing tho praises of home, yet some
OF them seem to have realized that
IN some respects European civiliza-
I;sf,, tioh is ahead Of ours, Then. too. the
establishment which has followed
me war, because it did not accom-
plish any of the high idealistic pur-
poses for which 1t was ostensibly
Fought. has doubtless Intensified this
critical attitude. At any rate. for the
iirst time books have beon written by
americans and read by Americans
sharply and even bitterly. Ono novel
which Is a satire on small-town life
In America has become a best seller.
Five years ago our novels always re-
presented the American small town
as an idyllic picture of sweet content
A certain critic, who regards American
democracy as a failure and the Am
ericaa civilization as the most back
ward among the great powers. has
achieved since the war, popularity
such as perhaps no American critic
ever before enjoyed.
This same critical tendency has
even penetrated into congress. A re-
cent congressional report. for ex-
ample, points out that America ranks
tenth along civilized countries in its
educational institutions, and adds that
this is a sad state Of affairs since the
success OF democrcy depends largely
upon education. Similarly. the revo-
lations of tho draft boards with re-
gard to III health in this country
have been fully set forth and ap-
preciated in congress.
All of this criticism taken together
presents us with a different picture
of America from that which our
fathers carried in their minds 1t
shows us country physically great,
wealthy and highly developed indus
trially, to he sure. But it also shows
us a country in which there is great
deal of poverty and very low aver
age of health and education among inc
poorer classes 1t shows us n country
in which 1t Is hard for any one to get
really good, liberal educauon. IL
shows us a country which, In nterai-
ture painting, sculpture and pure
science, lags far behind almost every
other country of the same class
Above all. they tell US. this Is coun-
try in which the art of living. OF en-
ioying life, Is not understood. and
where the pursuit of wealth for It's
own sake has become almost the uni
versal occupation.
These critics doubtless exaggerate-
Some of them certainly overlook our
strong points in their ea8erness TO
show up our weak ones But there
seems to be a growing feeling that all
of this criticism is healthy. An in
dividual who regards himself as ma
ture's ultimate masterpiece, VINO
seems to think that there Is little room
in him for Improvement, and that
everyone else ought to use him As
model, is not generally admired. Such
an Individual is not apt TO grow and
improve. on the contrary. he usually
inspires the feeling that he has somo
hard bumps coming TO him. and needs
them. He is commonly described as
SNUG.
America. before the war, what
ever her virtues. was undcniably
SNUG And since the war that SNUG
ness has to some extent disappeared
II is surely good sign. America is
I becoming self-conscious and self criu-
cal And that feeling, in both men
and nations, is the origin of all
progress

In one point, that excelled. During the en-
tire session, not single member appealed from his de-
cision.
The next nearest record to this was established by
B. F. Montgomery, speaker of the thirteenth General
Assembly. There was only appeal made from his
decisions and that appeal lost In many wsss Mr.
Davis and Mr. Montgomery were alike Montgomery
was over twice old Davis when he presided but
his mind clearer and his decisions were not made
with any more precision and dispatch Both knew how

control over the house than Mr. Montgomery.
