THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY

THE Bishops of the Episcopal
church are considering taking the
"obey" from the section of their we'd
ding ceremony applying to the wo-
wan at the altar.
1t would be perfectly proper to do
this, we believe in view of the burden
of testimony in divorce cases, ii 1t
were transferred to the bridegroom
in his conventional black.
The little brother says: "Ah moth
er, YOU can't expect me to be as good
as sister. She's a girl" And, 1t
seems, they grow up with that idea
firmly fixed in their mind.
Boys should be as good as girls
There wouldn't be any double stand
ard of morals if all was right with
the world.
A woman usually gets her Chris
tianity as a child and clings to il
through life. Most men seem to ge'
it after they have harvested their wllt
oats and develop a conscience.
W. never saw anything wrong
about including the obey except tina
it should apply to both bride an'
bridegroom. What is sauce for tn
goose should be catsup for the gan
der.
Marriage is supposed to be : con
tract on a ffty-ffty basis. Most mer
however, expect the long odds an
most women seem content to TAX
what is left.
Time, commonsense and hlgne
ideals may adjust this. You can

CANNON
ADDRESSES BIG
CROWD HERE

Clarence Cannon, Democratic can
didate for Congress from the Ninth
District, opened his campaign here
Friday evening in an address in
which he condemned the. action Of
congress in repeating the excess
profit tax, which he called the fairest
tax ever levied, and declared that the
present Congress had reduced the
taxes of the big business and i~ncreas-
ed the taxes of the farmer and small
business man.
The crowd hearing Mr.. Cannon
filled the circuit court room and was
especially large considering the fact
that Mr.. Cannon will speak here
when the Democratic campaign is
formally opened Wednesday. A large
number of women were present. E.
F. Elliott introduced the speaker, in
"a short speech in which he praised
Mr.. Cannon's record as parliament
tartan of the House of Representa-
tives
Mr.. Cannon opened his address by
praising Mexico as the financial,
educational and political center Of the
Estate and said that it was fitting that
the Democratic party had chosen to
open its campaign here. :
In speaking of the repeal of the ex-
cess profit tax, Mr. Cannon said that
it placed taxation IN those who could
pay and discouraged profiteering. BY
its repeal Congress decreased the
revenue of the federal government
$3.50, 900, 900. The State Of Missouri
according TO the speaker, has followed
the same policy in taking of Of. the
rich and putting them on the poor.
Z Harding vetoes the coldiers'

The Banner is inclined to doubt
there having been a surplus in the
state treasury when the legislature
Of 1921 assembled, or at any other
tine during the past 40 years. On
the othor hand, the legislature OF
1927 was faced by a lot of obliga-
tions handed along to il by tire legis-
Ilature Of 1919, Just as the same as
the 1919 outfit got a sight draft from

The Banner doesn't know anything
about bookkeeping and is suspicious
of anybody who does. 1t is so easy
to prove by figures that even va
CUM must be filled with something
t1at most of us have, a certain awe
OF the wizard who sloshes around in
a maze of figures like a baby duck in

something more than awe to con

From the New York Tribune.
Ismet Pasha has conceded the
main point of the American and
Allied contention at Lausanne-that
the Black Sea shall not remain a
closed sea. 1t is to be open in peace
and in war when Turkey is not a
behgerent, to the merchant ships
and warshfps of all nations. This
principle is modified to the extent
that war vessels entering the Black
Sea shall be light cruisers only Con-
sersely, the Russian war vessels 60
Ing out into the Mediterranean must
be light cruisers.
This modification saves Russia
face. Tchitcherin wanted to have
Turkey sit as a warden over the
Straits as formerly and keep them
sealed, thus insuring Russian naval
supremacy In the Euxine. But the

Turkey and the Caucasus republics.
The Turkish Nationalist have
always subscribed to the doctrine
of the freedom OF the Straits. The
Angora compact pledges such free
dom. What the Turks ask is a fair
consideration of their military situ-
alton. Constantinople is in the open
road to and from the Black Sea.
Its security, they feel. ought not to
be threatened by any prepondarant
naval power. Ismet is evidently
willing to waive a large measure Of
Turkeys former sovereignty over
the Straits II Turkey is left in a
position to defend her ancient
capital.
Demilitarization rather than IN
ternationalization OF the Straits is
now to be depended upon to osecure
their freedom. They will remain
Turkish, but unfortified To this ex-
tent there is to be reversion to the
pre-war situation. The Allies are
key to the passageway rather than
to give II to any other single power
or even to plant their own flags on
Gallipoh and hold It Jointly. The
Turk has come back into Europe
partly because of his military re-
covery and his startling victory over
Greece. But in larger sense he has
come back because the Allies can
find nobody else whom they would
prefer to have rule over Constan-
tinople and undertake limited and
