Two people were divorced and the man later fell in love with a Cath olic girl who refused to marry him unless she could be married by the priest. The priest refused to marry her to a divorced man but—if it could be shown that the first wife had ne ver been baptized, then be was not married to her in the eyes of the church. The scrub of a man tried ev ery available argument to induce his first wife to sign a statement that she had never been baptized. As she had been regularly dipped in the good old Baptist way she refused to sign any such statement She had lived with him as his wife for over ten years, nursed him in illness, and sup ported him and herself when he was out of work. Had she never been bap tized — what would she have been in the eyes of Rome — a wife or a mis tress? And here is another qosetion— if Marlbourough was never married to the heiress of the Vanderbilt mil lions. does be not also forfeit the mar riage settlement of $100,000?

Portland’s Own Store Talking about nobility—in this case nobility of title only—1 wonder how soon we will find ont why Marie of Roumana came to the United States? Sorely not for the 20 oases of gifts she is taking back with her. Jnst why did she endure all the fuss and fati gue of such a journey of confusion? We ought to know pretty soon. Which brings me to another conclu sion—that we in democratic Ameri* ca are not very democratic. The bowing and scraping and dressing up for royalty which we did during her visit does not speak well for the principles expressed in our Declara tion of Independene. The Queen was not one of ua—she was the guest al ways of our uncrowned money Kings and queens—guarded and stared at and applauded by the common pcopj9 —yes—but no common dub was per mitted to get near enough to her to say how-de-do. Yes, we are 100 per cent Americans, all right, but not when royalty comes around. Since the above was written, one newspaper reports that according to advices from Roumania, it is consid ered quite likely that America was so deeply impressed by the queen that a huge loan will be quite freely ex tended to her country. Who wjH loan it? America or Wall Street? It will make but little Oifference — eventu ally we common dubs will put up the money. And now we have come to private ownership of the air. According to a decision rendered by Circuit Judge Wilson of Chicago, the Chicago Tri bune has sole rights to a certain wave length which it uses for broad casting purposes. Just think of what this means—can you grasp it all? All our water power all our timber all our oil, all everything on the earth and under the earth is now owned and controlled by huge cor porations. We simps have allowed thq big interests to grab it and when they didn't grab it, we carefully vo ted not to hinder their acquiring it in the future—witness the defeat of the Housewives’ bill at the last elec tion. We did hope that there would be no way evolved that would give the grabbers control of the air but it seems that a Chicago judge found it. Just who gave the Chicago Tri bune the right to appropriate that particular wave length and just how is it going to retain control of it? The same paragraph says that in the last Congress a aesolution was adop ted by House and Senate declaring that; "No license issued, or to be is sued, for radio use shall establish any vested right in any particular wave length or otherwise grant ow nership in the air.” But my friends, a Chicago judge has said it can be done Query—which is the mightier force in the government of the peo ple of these United States—that of judges or Congress? Answer—one— two—three —all together. "Tudgea". Again,"who electa the judges?” The People”. Again, "who control* the judges?" Now all together—"The Power Trusts". And yet again— "What are you going to do about it? Answer by all the wave lengths not controlled bv the Chicago Tribune— "NOTHING.” Holliday & Holliday Tonsorial Parlors 12S North Sixth Street In oi.r new location we are arranged te give better service to our patrons We invite ladies, gents and children to come in and see us INDIANAPOLIS SEGRE GATION ORDINANCE DECLARED UNCON STITUTIONAL F.
