Tillamook Headlight, October INTERESTING TOPICS1 “William Smith the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Smith, and Miss Lucy 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 of the Bangor (Pa.)
