to fill. II is matter of regret to
the people of the town that he has be-
cided to leave here, after so many
years of efficient service. His infiu-
enee in the school has been for good
upon the pupils, and as a citizen he
has been popular and helpful in all
work for the betterment Of the com
munity and it will be a distinct loss
to the town when he removes. 1t Is
expected that he sewers his connection
with the school at the expiration of
this week.

ing of that proposal and which would
tend to explain and justify it remain
to be explained. In the outcome 1t
was an effort towards mediation so ex-
IRENE that it crystallized public opin-
ion in judgment adverse to the pro-
posal.
Some Justification.
Some of the APPARENT justification
for the proposal lay in the fact that
so far as the shopmen, who were the
only ones then striking, were con-
cerned, seniority did not mean much,
because in the shops preferred posi-
tions and the other benefits of senior
lty are comparatively neglible. But
IN the cases of the other unions, the
engineers, firemen and conductors,
seniority is a matter of great impor-
lance and carries valuable privileges.
That is why the other unions imme-
dlately took notice of the situation.
For that a most important principle
was involved. That principle is an
asset which they are sure to lose. to
gether with many other assets, if they
should fight They can hardly even

principle. Not only did the presenta

Every Druggist in this county is au-
thoriZed to say to every rheumatic suf-
ferer that if a full pint bottle of Allen

Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous results
have been accomplished in the most Sc
we're eases where the suffering and
agony was intense and piteous and
where the patient was helpless.
Mr. James H Allen, of Rochester, N.
Y the discoverer of Allenrhu, who for
many years suffered the torments of
acute rheumatism, desires all sufferers
to know that he does not want a cent
of anyone's money unless Allenrhu de-
cfsively conquers this worst of all dis

to guarantee it as above in every in

ers, when they return to work. shall
be restored to their old seniority as
if they had not struck at all 1t is a.
fact that in every railroad strike in
history this concession has been made
to the men at the end of strike.
Because of this repeated precedent,
the railroad unions have come to think
that they have, SO to speak, a vested
interest in this right to their accrued
seniority. They talk of it as if 1t
were kind of tangible equity, like a
balance to their credit in the bank.
Destroy Argument
Now. however, that this question
has been brought into the open, atten-
ton has been focused on it both from
the public and from thoughtful indi-
viduals. The result of this examina-
ton of the question is to destroy the
, argument the strikers make for this
right They have an ingenious and
involved theory about it. But the
theory does not stand up to the light
either of logic or of public sentiment.
That Is the reason why in the out
come of the present strike, the unions
are sure to lose in one degree or an
| other this right which they have sue
1
strikes. Their theory is that in strik-
ing they do not cease to be employees,
but merely suspend work The theory
upon which they stand can only be
| justified logically on the assumption
| that every strike must end fayorably
| to the strikers
| Reaction Adverse
! When this issue was dragged into
the open and made conspicuous by
President Harding's recommendations
| to the railroad executives that the
striking shopmen should be given theil
old seniority and should be given pre-
ferred positions above the workers
who had remained loyal and above the
J new workers the public reaction tc
/ this proposal was overwhelmingly ad
verse. It was adverse not only to the
proposal as such, but was adverse tc
! President Harding for having suggest
ed it.
In making that proposal Presidenr
! Harding went to the point of seriously
imperilling his position Some circum
stances which accompanied the max

public discussion result in an. over
whelmingly adverse judgment. The
collateral incidents happened to occur
in such way as to put the unions still
further on the defensive. If a malevo7
lent destiny had taken control of the
situation nothing more damaging TO
the unions could have occurred than
the abandonment of that train in the
Arizona desert. The stories of the
hardships endured by the passengers
have been the finishing touch in crys-
talizing opinion against the strikers
The state of feeling now is such that
even a congress which is within three
months of an election might go further
in the direction of anti-strike legisla-
ton than would have been dreamed
possible little while ago.

STATES HOLD VARIED
VIEWS ON MARRIAGE,
DIVORCE, SAYS DEAN
tBy Associated Press>


DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 17.-The
IS states virtually have As different
views on the subject of marriage and
divorce. according to Dean c. j. Hike
of Drake University law college, who
is sponsoring a movement for the
adoption of a federal uniform marri-
age law to eliminate the present con-
fusion between states.
Common law marriages are still
valid in Iowa, the age of consent hav-
ing been raised to Is for males and
Il for females. Such marriages con
tracted between persons above the age
of consent are binding But marriages
at the common law under the age OF
consent are not void, but voidable
Therefore right here in Iowa maria
ges of children under the legal ages
of consent are valid unless voided by
one or both principles.
Thus you see how absurd this law
is when pushed to its final conclusion
Laws just as absurd exist in many
states. That is why national law
first entirely appealing the common
law and providing for the ages of con
sent, and the publication of the bans
a reasonable period before the MARI
age takes place, together with require
ment of health certificates given by q
reputable physician, would do much tC
solve our matrimonial and divorce
tangle.
Everybody knows what a travesty

of public opinion and had an apollo

The president was undoubtedly
made aware of this by many ennis

His own attitude, however, was firm
in the position that he should put the
last ounce of his prestige into the
balance, and should be willing to en-
dure some rather unpleasant things
both from the railroad executives anC
from the railroad strikers, in the de
termination that nothing should be

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-President
Harding's address in favor of the ship
subsidy bill was warmly commended by
Senators who favor the measure. 1t
was referred to by a number Of Sena-
tors as the Presidents best utterance
OH this subject.
Little evidence was given, however,
that the message has essentially
changed the lineup In the Senate.
Farm bloc Republican members and
Democrats were outspoken against the
bill and the arguments of the Presi-
dent.
Senators Lodge, Calder, Poindexter
and Ransdell commended the message.

tor Lodge, "splendidly telling the
chant marine. / am very strongly in

Calder Calls 1t "Spiendid'
"The President" said Senator Cal
der, "made a splendid statement of
our maritime needs, If we hope 80
maintain foreign markets for Amer
lean products, this can be done only
by assuring continuance of American
ships on the high seas. hope Con-
gress will realize that the future OF
American foreign trade depends ,I,pon
the enactment of this shipping bill, as
has been so forcefully pointed out by
President Harding"
Other comment was:
Senator Potndexter, Of Washington;
"The things the President stated SO
clearly are unanswerabla reasons for
a ship subsidy, and | believe it is the
only means of competing with foreign
nations. all of whom resort to that
policy in building up their merchant
marine. hope the Congress will ap~
prove the bill" F.;
Senator Ransdell, OF Louisiana: "I
heartily indorsc what the President
said. II was strong message, pre-
bill in o comprehensive, forcible and
convincing manner. / hope it will ap-
peal to the American people in such
way as to win their support OF the
measure"
Capper Sees 1t as "Raid"
Senator Capper, of Kansas: "There
was nothing in the Presidents message
which I can indorse except his state
ment that we must have legislation to
relieve distress among the agricultural
interests. must disagree with the
case made out by the President for the
ship subsidy bill. 1t would merely
permit raid on the Treasury for the
big shipping interests, thus establish
ing a dangerous precedent"
Senator Harreld, of oklahoma: "The
only justification for the subsidy Is
that IL Is che Lesser Of two evils. 1t
at least means getting rid of the .white
elephant left us by tie Democratic
Administration. Tho message was a
strong argument from the Presidents
point OF view"
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi:
"The message will be accepted by the
farmers as an insult. This message,
with the Presidents veto on the bonus
bill, has immortalized the Republican
