Marriage Commercial Institution.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Rev. pr Joseph Silverman in recent sermon on The Scandal of Divorce held up a mirror in which those of us who honest enough to admit 1t must recognize certain ugly truth.
 It is Dr. Silvermans contention that the divorce scandal largely is result of marriages for merce nary reasons. He is old-ashioned enough to believe should bean affair of It may sound strange to modern, sophisticated ears but he holds that the only real basis for marriage is love-
 But the marriage market goes on. The offerings are plentiful the bidders apparently inexhaustble in point of numbers. No sacrament in the eyes of milling social adventurers marriage is pros tituted for commercial ends. It well may be true that in many instances parents this sacrilege unconsciously But it is true that civilization has created desire for the three things pointed out by the minister almost irresistible lures to weak human nature-wealth, power and pleasure Must we accept It as true he to beeive that the end o all human effort is wealth, power and pleasure :?

 The destruction of airplane the Paris-Lon- don lne with the loss of six lives, is horrfying incident Yet such tragedies must be expected in aviation for years to come, until the gradual growth toward perfection in aerial machines has overcome the present weaknesses. With all the fine performances of the plane in peace and war, with all it is not yet safe in the that ether of travel safe.
 The arpane as an everyday agent of passenger be far off It will arrive because it is a neces- time wasted in travel The world is in hurry. It will have what it wants Science is constantly work trying to make one hour do what two hours have been doing.
 The Now York Herald is confident that the air is day going to be for passenger traffic what the is for both passenger and freight Our planes already have speed The element lacking the safety which will make flying dangerous than trav- cling express train That security is approached year by year Considering the great number of air. planes now in the fatalities have been down in most encouraging way
 Twenty years it the general belief that the lighter than air machines would be the future passenger trains of the sky The rapid improv of the plane has dissfpated this idea The gas bag devices whether Zeppelins, blimps plain balloons are lacking in the vital quality of power.

COLBY SUPPORTS THE PRESIDENT.

Bainbridgc Colby, Secretary of State in tho Wilson Administrations says President Harding is our leader just in the fight to get the United States to take her place and her responsibility among the Nations of the world in the interest of permanent peace. The fight for the World Court, he says. has carried beyond party lines by the President and placed upon the broad plane of National duty and, under the circumctanceS, there be opposition him he, the principal champion of the World Court is tho leader of of the great political parties of hte country while he himself is an adher cnt of the other major party.
 The leading Democratic papers of the Nation are also supporting the President. In fact, about the strongest newspaper support the President is getting for the World Court comes from the Post, Times and World of New York City, the Springfield Republican and other nominay independent Democratic papers The Hearst and Munsey papers which supported the President for election in 1920, opposing him this proposition Nothing better illustrates the point made by ar Colby. that the President has placed his campaign for the World Court higher plane than partisan politics.

NOT STRANGE.

It is not strange that the Senators and Represen- tatiyee whc visited Alaska told the people in seattle that the greatest need in Alaska IS selfSovernmen They discovered after visit to the Territory that we have ae many problems that local to this country as they have in the separate States, that are local there, and familiar they with the processes Of government they realize of course that the only people who capable and have the time necessary 10 folve the problems these the ground
 The growth and development of the United States and the of the Constitution are due to the fact that self-government .s provided for in the Staca It is through the separate State organizations that government has been kept close to the people and it is because government has been kept close to the people that the Constitution and the govern ment has successfully functioned so long.
 Alaska is not different in that respect from the ether sections of the country As Bryan said once upon a time, A1askans have right to make their own mistakes, because if they make mistakes they will knew it and apply the remedy quicker than if the mistakes made by non-resdents.

 if It Fits
 The divorce court records show that though women may not cling to their husbands the way they used to they still cling to their money with death grip.
 We guess a woman might still live very comfortably on a salary of $2.500 a year if they didn't have to buy gas for the car, keep up with the styles and pay rent.
 The best insurance against an un- happy married life is for the hus- band and wife to adopt a common sense policy. This means, of course, to let the wife be the uncontested boss.
 Maybe one reason why husbands quit kissing their wives after they have been married awhile is because Friend Wife doesn't keep herself looking as kissable as she used to when she was angling for him.
