ON LIVE SUBJECTS. Anderson were disposed of at public
The People and “Fool" Laws.
The people always find some way
of getting around a fool law. In one
small country in Wisconsin there
have been “solemnized” no less than
than eight common-law marriages
since the so-called eugenic marriage
law was declared constitutional in
that state. 1 he common-law mar-
riage consists a little more than the I
agreement on the part of the man and I
woman, in the presence of witnesses I
to accept each other as husband and
wife and to assume the responsibil
ities and privileges ordinarily attach
ed to such a union. The contracting
parties were persons who had refus
ed to submit to the “medical examin
ation” required before a marriage
license may be issued.
In the rest of the state the same
proportion will doubtless hold. In
other words, the citizens of Wiscon
sin are dodging the law,, as the
citizens of all states dodge all freak
and financial laws. There is no limit
to the distance to which some of
those law-inventors will go. That was
well illustrated in Chicago, recently,
during the National Convention of
Alienists, in the La Salle Hotel. The
discussion that day had been upon
the rather “advanced” topic of the
desexing of defectives. After the meet
ing a newspaper reporter interviewed
one of the prominent physicians in
the lobby. The eminent medical man
was asked if he really advocated such
ideas as were discussed at the meet
ing. “Yes”, hereplied, “and I would
go further. Do you see that beautiful
specimen of womanhood over yonder,
the lady in the sable furs who is hold
ing the poodle dog in her arms?
Well, if I had my way, I would com
pel that woman, by law, to have a
baby in her arms? And do you see
the fine young man speaking to her?
He is probably a young man about
town, abachelor, with no responsi
bilities, no family cares except a
bachelor apartment— Iwould compel
that man to marry such a women as
the one to whom he is speaking and
I would compel them by law, to have
children.”
The Smart Alecks.
When the editor oi a country pa
per starts on a Monday morning to
get up something for his paper in the
way of interesting local news and
finds, after nosing around, that noth
ing has happened in the town or com
munity that he can write up, and no
body gives in any personals or local
news, and every fellow he talks to
says, “I don’t know a thing,” and his
liver is not working just right and he
feels as though he had just as soon
loop the loop with Lincoln Beachey
as to go to work—that’s the time
when he would like to turn the job
over to the “Smart Aleck” who
thinks he could get up a better paper
than the editor and not half try.
Overstraining Virtue.
The Young Men’s Christian Assoc
iation of Chicago has put the ban on
tobacco. Henceforward a man who
smokes and Is unwilling to give up
this indulgence, or lie about it, will
not be welcome in any of its hotels.
In making the announcement a Y.M.
C A. official says that there will be
no trouble in filling the rooms of the
various buildings with non-smokers.
There is little doubt about that. Ex
cellent men who do not smoke will
no doubt be found in numbers in the
Y.M.C.A. establishments in the future
as in the past. Nevertheless, this of
ficial attempt at prescribing a man's
personal conduct to such an extent
will be keenly resented by many
young men of good character. Rather
than have their habits thus censored,
they will seek shelter elsewhere. An
institution designed
to help the
young men of the country to better
living should hesitate before it over
emphasizes the minor voices. There
are many clergymen of high charac
ter who keep a box of cigars in their
study, and who are consistent enough
when smoking themselves, to offer a
cigar to their neighbor or caller. Ac
cording to the new rules of the Y.M.
C.A., these clergymen would not be
welcome in any of its dormitories.
Too many restrictions defeat their
own ends. To set up a standard of
impeccability will not serve the ends
for which the Y.M.C.A. is supported.
And, by the way, how many of its
supporters are non-smokers.
Makeup Man in Bad Mixup.
In handling the slugs which make
up the lines in a newspaper, and in
separating the various items, the
makeup man sometimes gets the lines
mixed up and they naturally read
rather queer. As an illustration of
what can happen, we cite the mixup
