Child Marriages.

Child-msrriage figures in a report
of the Russell Sage Foundation are
surprising to a great majority of
Americans, and may lead to laws for
bidding marriage Of persons below the
age which by general consent is as
sumed to be the age of maturity. The
report says that the situation COM
planned against is due to the fact that
II States require no other evidence of
axe than an affidavit of the person
applying for a marriage license, and
that the legal minimum marriageable
age for girls is still IL years and for
boys IA years in New York, New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania. Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Virginia, Florida, Maryland.
Rhode Island, Tennessee, Colorado,
Idaho, Maine and Mississippi. The re-
port says that more than 667 ,00e per-
sons in the United States were mar.
ried at the age of 16 years or under.
These figures are not the whole story.
because the report was compiled from
study of child marriage in 80 cities IN
28 States, and gives no consideration
to the marriage of persons between
the ages of 16 and 1S years. Lack Of
public knowledge concerning child
marriages and public indifference to
the matter are shown by the fact that
in IA States it is legally possible for a
girl to be married at an age when she
would not be allowed to become a
wage worker.

doing fairly well in the Senate from

sion. On one day they hold aloof and
permit the Republican organization
to drub the progressives on the Re-
publican side of the aisle. On the next
day they vote with the progressives
to defeat the Presidents nominee for
Attorney General. 1t seems clear that
the Democrats are out to play their

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM FILE

In the Senate's rejection Of Charles
B. Warren's nomination for the At
torney Generalship President Cool
idge has suffered the incomparably
severest rebuff Congress has yet Of
fered him. 1t is a directly personal
rebuff. Its sting lies in its rarity.
American history has not recorded its
like for 81 years. 1t comes within
few months of Mr.. Coolidge's over
whelming popular victory AT the
polls. 1t Is the verdict of a Senate
In which the administration supposed
ly held power by a safe if slender
margin. Therein lies the menaeing
milk in the cocoanut. so far as the
Republican high command Is con-
cerned. What the Warren vote means
for the future is food for disquieting
thought at the White House and for
the Republican leadership. A year
ago La Toilette was the insurgent
nightmare that kept the G. Q. P
writhing in maddening dreams. Now
there is hydraheaded nightmare in
the Senate, with names like Borah,
Couzens. johnson, McMaster. Norbeck
and Norris as its outstanding terrors.
Is .there to be a "Borah bloc? 1t
long has been suspected by certain
senatorial seers. Always incorrigi-
bly, Independent, and making no Sc
cret of his insurgency, Borah at the
present short session has gone the
full limit in opposition to regular
Republican programs. He fought the
committee assignments, with their
demotion of Ladd, Brookhart and
Frazier. Then he Joined the Demo-
cratic opposition to the Warren con-
firmation. When G. o. P. leaders
measure the possibilities of a "Borah
bloc" they take heart of grace from
the popular; theory that Borah bril-
liant as he is. has no real talent for
leadership. They say he is at his
best only when fiocking by himself.
They contend he never goes all the
way on any given proposition--that
he is vigorous beginner, but an
early gutter. Somewhere there is
a problem to the effect that what
has never been can always be. Borah
may consider that he at length has
opportunity for bold, thoroughgoing
leadership. Supposing he should put
himself at the head of the Dawes
senatorial reform movement? Who
would dare predict how far, on such
an issue, fomented as Borah alone
could foment it, the Idahoan might
not go? He might go as far as 1925
and after.
Now that Charles Beecher Warren
is temporarily IN eclipse. curiosity is
general as to why President Cool
idge named him for the Attorney GEN
eralship. The appointment meant
nothing from a politico- o-geograp pnical
standpoint, for Senator Couzens told
the Senate that mine tenths of the
people of Michigan opposed War
ren's nomination. 1t denoted no rec
ognition of a consPicuously brilliant

Before suspicion clears away.

A Mozart died of malignant ty-

The musical end of the evening
opened with a trio played by Hell

clarinet, flute and piano; Mrs. Fred

rendered banjo numbers in which he
was accompanied by Mrs. Hanson at
the piano and Mrs. E. w. Hanson
and Mrs. Douglas Nankervis played
piano duets. All were repeatedly
encored.
