CBUBCII WEDDINGS IIE8T.,
If all marriages were contracted
in churches there wonld Be far few
er divorces, is the opinion of Chief
Justice Joseph (4. Donnelly of the
Milwaukee, Wis., civil court. Few
of our readers will differ with the
opinion of this wise judge. Judg
ing trom appearances the opinion of
Judge Donnelly will be timely and
shoild be pasted in the hats of sev
eral of ' cur young, couples. He
says:
"There should be first-of all paren
tal consent. Then there should be
the ceremony performed by a minis
ter in a churoh before the friends of
both the man and the womaa.
There should be the ring and the :
wedding uiarch and all the other]
little touches ? call them seatiipen- j
tal if you will? that go with the ac
ceptance of a sacred responsibility.
An.l it should have the proper set
,in='
"Take the other side of- the pic
ture. The youDg 'couple rush to the
licence clerk; possibly just before
closing time, to keep it out of the
papers. They tnjn to the nearest
judge and apply Tor a special dispen
sation. - .
"Thev are taken into his cham
bers. There '8 nothing here to re
mind them of the nature of the con
trast into which they are about to
enter. A few musty law volumes;
the smell of stale tobacco smoke in
the air; perhaps a few minutes be
fore, a ?' 'he under world,
has sobbed out a pitiful story of |
sordid shame to a calloused lawyer.
iTWh.nt i? there ia this environ
ment to maintain the impressiveness
of the beautiful sacrament of mar
riage? Will the average man and
woman regard the ceremony per
formed in ? law offioe "Willi that feel
ing of ?we and r#Verenoe that must
oome when two persons mset at
God's altar to plight their troth?
??Sentiment is * strong safeguard
and I believe that if more marriages
were psrf?rn*,(* m churohes, there
would * '??* divon*.."

X goo i old age is a beauttfui?i^ht, j
and there is nothing earthly that is
as noble ? in my eyes at least. And
so I have often thought a -ship is a
fine object when it comes into port
with all its sails set from a long voy
age. Many a thousand miles it has
eorne, with the sun for guidance and
the sea for its path; and the waves
that might have been its grave, a
thousand fathoms deep, have yielded
it a ready way, and winds that might
have been its wreck have been its
service. It has come from another
meridian than ours. It has. ome
by reefs and banks that have been
washed for centuries by the restless
waves, but not a plank has started
nor one timber in it did prove rotten.
And now it has come like an answer
to the prayers of many hearts ? a de
light to the owner, a joy to many a
sailor's home, and a pleasure to all
ashore that see it. It has been steer
ed over the ocean, and been piloted
through dangers and now it is safe.
But still more interesting than this
is a good life as it approaches its
three score years and ten. It began
in the century before the present;
has lasted on through storms and
Huiishine^and Hr^iag? been guarded^
against many a rock on whioh ship
wreck of a good conscience might
have been made.

Why Clark Will Be Senator
Judge Walter Clark baa the beat chance to be chesen Senator ia
the Primary becaoae:
1. He ia Pledged to earnestly contend for an admenduient to the In
terstate Commerce Law that will prevent the discrimination aeainat
North Carolina in freight rates whioh now co?ts tl?? fanner* and njer
chants of this State $10,000,000 a year.
2. He is pledged to oontend for and expects to succeed in havjng
returned annually in pensions to Contederate Soldiers and widows foj
them to spend, the $5,000,000 which this state is sending as a war contri
bution to pay pensions to Federal Soldiers.
3. He is pledged to earnestly urge the' repeal-of the 8 cent tax on
tobacco whioh will give the farmers 8 cents additional on every pound of
tobacco tbey sell which the manufacturer now has to take off for Govern
ment tax. This will also destroy the Trust bv leaving every farmer or
neighborhood free to manufacture tobacco It will save the farmers of
North Carolina #7,000,000 a year.
4. He will advocate Land Banks as in Germany and other countries
by whioh the Government will loan money to the farmers, small mer
chants, and working men at low rates of interest. The Government now
famishes the National Banks with their money wi'hont charging interest.
Why should it not famish the farmers, merchant ana working men money
at low rata of interest as in Germany?
Messrs. Simmons and Kitchin have each served twelve years in Con
gress and have done nothing about anv of these things. They not even
promise to do anything now it elected.
6. He will advocate a graduated income and inheritanca tax l>y which
the multimillionariea will contribule heavily to the support of the Govern
ment, whereas nothing is now raised from them in that way, ?
The friends of Judge Waltet Clark anil his enemies alike, know that
he can be relied vpon after election to urge these ineasares as strenuously
as he does now.
