Mackey, Squier, Funkhouser, Joseph,
Robbins and Magruder yesterday
prevented the slaughter of what is
known as the Elkton Marriage
License bill. Notwithstanding thar
II had passed the Senate, 1t was
given an unfavorable report by the
House Judiciary Committee. After
a struggle of over an hour the bill
was substituted for the unfavorable
report by vote Of 81 to 48.
Delegate Squier explained that the
bill was designed to prevent the we'll
known scandal of runaway mar
riages at Elkton, although its pro-
visions are Statewide. The bill pro-
vides that where both parties to an
intended marriage ceremony are

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, March
s1.-Deploring the growing menace
of the rendering OF had checks by
students Of the University Of Vir-

Klan of that institution has had
the following notice posted around
college:
There are approximately 100 stu.
dents represented on combined
list of bad checks in the hands OF
merchants at the university and In
Charlottesville This represents
slightly over per cent Of the en-
tire student body.
Aside from the fact this Is a con.
dition which is unfair to the mer-
chants, 1t is unjust to the Uni
versity OF Virginia and to the spirit
of honor at this place. This in
flicts daily increasing hardship
on the rest of the student body.
This is a condition which has
largely developed during the last
three years. We are reluctant to
believe that the spirit of personal
honor is weakening in this insti-
tuition.
We earnestly request and expect
the undivided cooperation OF each
student in ridding the university
of this growing menace.

SECRETARY FALLS REPORT

Gauged by summary of its contents the report of Secretary Fall, especially that DOT ton affecting Alaska, comes as a keen dlsap- pointment to those who had hoped that at last some specific and comprehensive pro nouncement would be forthcoming from the Interior Department. This was made more potent through the early completion of the Alaska railro ad project, necessitating the map ping out of policy as to future procedure.
 But one conclusion may be drawn from this apparent lethargy, or whatever it might be termed, and that is that Washington is either prepared to pursue it's usual haphazard course, or is marking time against the day when Alas kans will be spurred on to take the entire mat ter into their own hands. This latter can only be done under statehood. The numerous expressions by such men as former Secretary John Barton Payne, Assistant Secretary of Commerce Huston, MT. Sherman, and many others that Alaska needs votes at Washington gives rise to speculation as to whether this IS not in fact what Washington wishes. If this be the case the sooner Alaska begins laying the foundation for taking the step toward statehood the better.
 It cannot be charged that Alaska has been more exacting and less amenable to approach ment by the Federal government, nor that 1t is less tractable than other territorial posses sions. The Philippines Porto Rico and all other territorial or protectional regions com ing under the functions of the Federal Gov ernment have voiced the same complaints and have been burdened with the same bureau cratic blight.
 The mere recognition of the necessity for development is not enough in the case of Alaska; there must be concrete policy which will remove misgivings and afford avenues through which success may be achieved The passing on of the question from department to department from administration to admin istration will never get Alaska anywhere.
 In the absence of any light from Washing ton it would seem that the question IS up to Alaska to solve for itself.-Anchorage Times

citizens of voting age, male and female, of 54, ,421, ,S82, we find that less than half the number of persons entitled to vote actually exercised that right in year of exceptional political interest and of exceptional voting. If we deduct literally to cover the criminals, the insane, and persons in the public service whose duties prevented them from going to the polls, we find that little if any more than half of those who possessed the qualifications of voters actually voted The exact figures of the late election are not yet at hand, but we know that they are materially short of the record of 1920, despite the fact that in two years there has been considerable natural increase in the number of potential voters.

MATTERS POLITICAL

The propensity of American editors, poli- ticians, and other lay-statesmen to futile speculation is freshly illustrated in the ten thousand post mortems now holding over the late election By their multitude no less than by varying verdcts they bear witness that the upheaval is due to no one particular cause beyond the general spirit of dissatisfac- ton and unrest. Different sections of the country interpret this spirit in different ways, no one of which supplies comprehensive and satisfactory conclusion. But broadly it may be said that our elections betoken less the positive desire of great majority of our people than the inertia of the great mass. In this last election as in others in recent years it was the stay -at-home voters that determined the result.
 The extent of the stay y-at-home vote is an in teresting study. According to the census of 1920 the total number of citizens twenty one years of age and over was 54, ,421 ,832, made up of 27,661 ,880 men and 26,759,952 women. The citizenship thus enumerated comprised all native and all naturalized foreign born persons. In the same year Q920) there was cast for President the largest poll in the history of the country, running to total of 26,786,758 Now if we set this figure of 26,- 786,75S votes cast against the total number of

ESSAY ON PANTS

Pants are made for men and not for women. Women are made for men and not for pants. When 3 man pants for woman and wom an pants for man, that makes a pair of pants.
 Pants are like molasses; they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold weather.
 There has been much discussion as to whether pants is singular or plu- ral. Seems to us that when men wear pants it is plural, and when they don't wear pants it is singular.
 If you want to make the pants last, make the coat first.
