The Suppressed Marriage License,

In the nature of a rebuke to misguided
young folks, generally from other counties who
come to Rock Island secure marriage licenses
and then seek suppression of the fact that the
licenses have been issued, is the bill now be-
fore the Michigan legislature that would re-
quire the publication of all marriage licenses
and forbid the performing of any ceremony
until five days after the license has been grant
ed. The marriage relation, properly entered
into is not a matter of shame. Those who
seek suppression of publication Of the issuance
of a license generally have reason that will
not bear the light of publicity. Newspapers as
a rule deny requests for such suppression.
They cannot conniye in any scheme for mis-
leading the public or the parents of the parties
to marriage. 1t is likely that the Michigan
plan would stop lot of hasty and ill-consid-
cred matings and prevent numbers Of illegal
ones. Under such a program there wouldn't
be so many elopements. Whether or not the
plan is the proper one, however, is not fully
established. Before any appreciable progress
can be made the marriage and divorce ques-
lions the states must get together upon reas-
onably uniform program for their regulation.

Athletics and Health.

1t is reported that there are 5000 young men
and boys in the District of Columbia actively
participating in amateur baseball. 1t is likely
that other sports, such golf and tennis.
would show up equally well if some one took
the trouble to present the facts. What is true
in Washington is no doubt true all over the
country. Amateur athletics appear to be max
ing rapid progress. The public enjoys watch
ing professional sports keenly ever, but
an ever increasing proportion of citizens is
taking part in the amateur counterparts Of pro-
fessional games. This is as true of women as
of men.
The same trend is shown in the schools
Modern grade schools have gymnasiums as part
of their equipment, and the younger children
are given better physical education than they
had in the days of three-minute recesses for
deep breathing and stretching exercises. High
schools and colleges are featuring their inter-
school contests more prominently than ever be-
fore, but at the same time they have developed
a strong foundation of intramural athletics
which reaches practically the entire student
personnel. This is thoroughly satisfactory
state of affairs. The whole public is in better
health than formerly. Professional athletics
can be oyerdone. This is rare with amateur
athletics. which means principally more health
full outdoor exercise for the average person,
more wholesome recreation for mind and body
and more JOY brought into life through the
spirit of play

Mechanics and Music.

Delegates to the national convention of deal
ers in musical instruments. during a banquet
applauded a speaker who deplored the
lack Of musical taste in the middle west In
a group of states including Illinois, there is one
automobile to every seven persons, but only one
piano to every 900 That is to say We have in
Illinois one piano for every 1873 automobiles
Those fasteners think We are more interested
in signing notes for autos than in singing notes
at their pianos. We are said to know more
about carhureters than clefs We would rath-
er step on the gas accelerator than ON the
piano pedal In short" we are called rugged
midwesterners and considered to be more me-
chanfcal than musical
1t is hardly fair comparison. Accepting
the piano as the typical musical instrument
and the flivver as the typical auto, compare
them, contrast them, put them together and
enumerate their uses. For the price of one
high grade piano man may purchase whole
brood of flivvers and use them for a hundred
purposes. We like to hear them hum down
the road in the evening To crude souls of
the midwest the automobile is more musical
than pipe organs and far more useful. II the
piano men would advertise more they would
sell more pianos and be able to sell them
cheaper. The more they sold the cheaper and
better they could make them. The people of
the midwest are the most meditative, most i'm
aginative people in America. The midwest
leads in education and literature and is strong
in its love for music and song.
Because we have one piano to every 12s
automobiles is not an occasion for our eastern
friends to whine about our lack OF appreciation
of their baby grands, but is challenge for
them to get busy and circulate about our corn
fields and pick up some business for them
selves. They should remember that the great
est advertisers In the world are the automo-
bile industries. while the manufacturers Of
musical Instruments scarcely have learned the
FIRST notes OF newspaper publicity. -

Radicalisrn in the Senate.

Iowa has nominated for the United States
senatorship a man upon 4 personal platform
that is not Republican. nor is it progressive in
the Rooseveltian sense. Mr.. Brookhart is said
to advocate elimination Of the middleman, gov
eminent ownership of railroads, union of ag-
ricnltural and industrial labor. control of the
federal reserve board by producers These are
radical proposals that are in no sense pro-
gressive unless the term is now TO be applied
to Socialism. The nomination of Brookhart is
indeed, stroke at the Republican admnistra-
ton. 1t is more than that; it is a stroke at in
telligent democracy. His election, apparently
would put into the senate man more radical
than LaFollette. Yet his nomination is loudly
proclaimed as a progressive victory.

President Not to Be Coerced.

One can applaud the announcement which
comes from the White house that President
Harding will not yield TO the form OF duress
which was practiced upon President Wilson,
known as picketing the White house The
statement is emphatic that no program of pick
citing or parading win ever influence the opin-
ion of the executive office. Furthermore, the
president OF the United States has a right TO
be freed from annoyance He is the executive
OF the whole people and needs all the strength
ne can husband to serve them. There is
proper way to approach the president Of the
United States The strong arm method and the
hulldoEing tactics of a crowd Of rufffans
should be put under the ban of the law In
this instance. however, the picketing was to be
oone by children OF men who were put in Jail
during the war for disloyai acts committed
when the country was fighting foreign foe.

Ii Isn't Fit to Eat.

A reader takes the pulpit today:
You medical writers seem to be
entirely ignorant OF the fact that
tobacco is used in any other way
than smoked. Do you ever come in
contact with chewers, or is tobacco
innocuous when used in this way?
In our vicinity land / imagine SIM
silar conditions obtain in other
parts) but a small minority OF men
working in the factories do not
chew. At the height of prosperity
Goodyear employed 10000. Their
factory weekly announced that
their private supply store was SELL
ing 10000 packages Of tobacco a
day. Perhaps half of the men
bought their tobacco outside the
factory. OF course good many of
the employees were women, none OF
whom, it seems safe to say. chewed.
In view of these facts it would
seem that chewing is a very preva-
lent practice, and since you have
issued such convincing talks on the
smoke nuisance I believe a great
many readers would appreciate a
discussion from an unprejudiced
health expert on chewing"
Perhaps We should have hung
out placards informing all corners
that this meeting was to be for men
only Still, forewarned is forearm
ed, and perhaps 1t would be as we'll
to admit cigaret smoking, er. fe-
males; for those OF, them who do
not adopt pipes eventually may
take up chewing.
The chewing habit arises de novo
in very rare instances, though as a
general rule it is acquired by de-
grees from nibbling bits of tobacco
while smoking.
Whether chewing Is more injur-
ious than smoking / do not know.
If I were to hazard a mere conjec-
ture l should say smoking Is much
more injurious. The difficulty in
forming an opinion lies in the I'M
certainty of our knowledge of the
effect of tobacco. That smoking is
injurious and in many cases fatal
of course every physician knows,
but whether the injury is attributa-
BILE to nicotine or some other sub
stance in tobacco, or to carbon
monoxide formed in the process of
combustion, we are still uncertain.
If the injury is due to the small
but appreciable amounts of carbon
monoxide in tobacco smoke, that
would rather favor chewing, SO far
as toxic effects are concerned. But
aside from the question of poison
ing. out of mere decency any man
should be ashamed to chew tobacco
if he associates with clean people.
1t is scarcely possible that scores
of employees in a factory or shop
could chew while at work without

they are mere tools in the hands OF older and
designing persons whose activities during the
war probably were of at least doubtful char
acter That President Harding. like the rest
of us, has the highest regard for children, is
beyond question, but it is not the custom to
pardon persons convicted under the law be-
cause of the sentiments of their children. The
predicament of the children is the fault of their
parents who are in prison, not of the presi-
dent and not of the courts. But we like the
tone of the presidents statement 1t means
that no noisy and rebellicus group, resorting
to mob tactics and bulldozing methods, can go
to Washington and by making nuisance OF
