ON GETTING MARRIED

A pastor in one Of the cities of the
country who is being sued by his wife
for divorce is quoted ms making the
statement to his congregation that 1t
takes man Of nerve and woman
who is brave to face the marriage ccr-
emory today"
If this Is true, why the today y
What difference IL there In the mar
riage ceremony of today from that Of
yesterday?
1t takes more than "ncrve" and
bravery" to enter into the marriage
ceremony. 1t takes judgment and 1t
takes honesty and sincerity. 1t re-
quires the square deal betweEn the
two parties to the marriage contract.
It means consideration for the other
party.
No man or woman should enter into
the marriage ceremony who does not
know how to compromise on the non
essentials. Any man or woman who
mnrries with the expectation Of hav-
ing 1t nil his or her own way Is head,
cd straight for the divorce court.
And this great fact might be taken
under consideration by the minister In
question as well as by all others. When
a marriage ends in failure 1t In not
wcdlock that is at fault but the par
ties who enter into It,

NOW TIM PEOPLE ARE FOOLED.

This II an editorial that q almost news
Item, Yet bou as editorial and a news
Item It is Of importance TO tho Tulsa public.
In tho recent city election Mr.. Frank New
kirk, who had been treasurer Of tho school
board for two years and had performed meri-
torlous service OF n very unusual character
was opposed by George Reeves practiclng at
torney.
Mr.. Reeves made his campaign on tho ground
that he had idle help In his new office which
could do the work required, and do 1t ms well
as Newklrk. only partisan cupldlty justified
Reeves In asking for the position which pays
but 500 month, and which Newkrk had
filled 60 acccptably without further cost to tho
school district, working as he did late hours
at night to take care OF this Job MS a mere side
line to his other accounting work.
Now comes tho sequel. Being elected, Treas
prer Reeves found that he did not have
snecure. Being unable to do the work him
self. he faced tho necessity OF employing some
to do II for him. But he was unwilling to
have an office without some pay. So at the
last meeting OF tho school board he asked that
his salary he ralsed $3.50 a month. Tho board
was very properly surprised The treasurer
planned that he had no time to do the work,
but that ho knew OF lady who could be en-
poiyed for that amount to do It for him.
'she will take of tho office for $3.50
month" ho assured the board.
'Then you simply want $50 to add to the
500 the office already pays?" member asked.
mo" said Reeves. II want $50 in addition
10 the 500 the office has hitherto paid"
"what becomes of the original slOo?" n
member wanted to know
That's my salary" replied tho newly elected
school treasurer with the utmost complacency.
The amazing part of the story is that mo-
tlon to grant this altogether indofenslble re-
quest was actually made and actually seconded.
But be It said to the eternal credit OF the board
as a whole. that motion not carried The
regre. is that It was not voted down. The whole
matter was referred to the finance committee
OF tho board. to be taken up later
A more glaring attempt to deliberately farm
out an office OF responsibility and trust is not
of record. 1t IL unbelievable. or would be but
Tor the known facts. that n single member of
the board would support a proposition to DELHI
erately give away to a politician $4,000 OF the
taxpayers money!

when school matters are OF general interest. II
does for the additional purpose Of giving no,
tice that 1t will not tolerate such action by an,
board other public agency.

TO which he secured election. then let him re
