Mail Order Marriages.

Mail order marriages, ID appears,
are a source of considerable trouble
to the Post Once Department. Aside
from the deserted brides who write
for governmental assistance in locat-
ing runaway husbands there are al
most daily letters from wives who
! blame the postal service for the un-
happy termination OF their excur-
sions into married life. They COM
plain that they were courted entirely
through the mails, and hold the Post
once Department directly RESPONSE
BILE for their misfortunes.
Naturally the Post Office Depart
ment can make only one reply to
these letters-the explanation that
it's function extends only to the col
lection, dispatch and distribution of
the mails, together with such preven-
tion as is possible of the distribution
Of improper matter.
The claim of suitor that he can
support wife in idle ease may be just
as fragrant fraud as the offer OF
swindler to send genuine engrav-
ing upon the receipt of quarter,
the engraving turning out to be
the portrait of WASHINGTON on a two
cent stamp; but the Post Office De-
partment cannot undertake super
\ vision of the claims made in protesta-
tions of affection or even of mere
Willingness to enter the matrimonial
| bond.

mental regulation and control would
thereby be opened up. Suppose, also,
that the Government were to exercise
supervision over the promises made
by husbands to their wives and trans
mitted through the mails. Could
there be found in the United States a
candidate for the post of Chief of the
I Marital Relations Bureau of the Post
Office Department?
The following passage from one
letter is said by post Office officials to
be typical of the others received

was transacted entirely by mail"
The psychology OF persons who will
marry on the evidence contained in
letters and perhaps a photograph is
puzzling. But it Is no more puzzling
than the psychology of persons who.
after years of acquaintance, marry
and then discover they are tempera-
mentally unsuited.

One State Flag for the Ozarks.

The value of we'll directed propa-
ganda for securing to people the
right of self-determination is at last
recognized in the Ozark regions of
Missouri and Arkansas. AS re-
suit f. A. WISE, editor of the Arkon-
sds Conntryman, makes strong ap-
peal through his own paper and the
Arkansas Gazette of Little Rock for
the righting OF "the great wrong"
which was committed when the men
who carved up the Louisiana Terri
tory assigned a strip Of land below
the thirty-seventh parallel to Mis-
souri, instead OF Arkansas. - -s4.,
~ Mr.. WISE says that many wen mean
ing persons above the thirty-sixth
parallel are badly out of place in the
present arrangement, having been
legislated out Of the State of their
class and have for many decades
past been silently passive and obedi-
emily submissive to the fate which
placed them among an alien people"
The territory to which he refers is
that which includes the Missouri
counties between Newton and Me-
Donald on the west and Wayne and
Butler on the east.
This strip, he insists, is Arkansas
territory by virtue of Typographical
features, contour and physical for
nation and the close similarity of
the men and women to those living
just across the Arkansas line. In
every sense OF the word. in his opin-
ion. the people in these two groups
are alike. In the pages OF history,
in the realms OF fiction, in song and
story these domestically associated
and legally divided neighbors, he
declares, are brother and sister, one
to the other. as alike as black eyed
peas; yet one Is cruelty separated
from the other by an intolerable bar
rier which it is now proposed TO
remove forever"
This Is the land OF "a million
smiles" and its limits are not marked
by state lines. Over all of 1t grow
the Klondike strawberry, the Con-
cord grape. the Elberta peach, the
Ben Davis apple, the Stone tomato
and the Nancy Hall sweet potato.

kansas side ii affords such wonders
as the Mammoth Spring. War Eagle

The traveller along the border can
never tell from the appearance of the
people whether he is In Missouri or
Arkansas. Everybody looks alike ia
him. ALBERT PIKE in his history Of
the region never drew any distinc-
tion between the dwellers north and
south of the State line, and zone
might easily construe,' says Mr..
WISE, his intention to class the
whole Of the region in the juris-
diction OF Arkansas" As for
that intrepid old warrior Colonel
DoNrpHAN, there is no doubt in Mr..
vTsEs mind that were he to speak
from his grave he would voice his
hearty approval to any expressed de-
sire on the part Of Missourisns to
encompass themselves inside the
boundaries Of Arkansas"
