CHURCH MARRIAGE |<
IS NOT ENOUGH
Millioraire Publisher, Wed Decade Ago 1
By Pastor, to Be “Remarried” by
Judge Lindsey. I i

Girard, Kn«., May 10.—Most elop-!
ing coupler, license tightly clutched |
in hand, stop in at a J. P.’s and
have the knot tied in a hurry.
And when mother and father 11 ml
out. they very often insist that the
know be re-tied in what they con
sider a more fitting manner by a
gentleman of the clergy in frock
cont and everything, with a choir
singing “O. Promise Me.” and cajla
lilies heaped upon the hymeneal
church altar.
But Mr. «nd.[ Mrs. Haldeman-
Juliik* are aboir to do it juat t*e
ojtjler way ‘round.
vHaldeman-Julius is the noted “lit
tle book” publisher, who in a few
years has attained great wealth by
issuing vest pocket editions of
standard works.
Combined Their Names.
Ten years ago he and Mrs. Halde
man-Julius were married in the con
ventional manner by a Presbyterian
minister. The only thing uncon
ventional about the marriage was
that the publisher decided his wife i
should not lflse her name entirely.
Before the marriage his name was
Julius and hers Haldeman. The pub
lisher combined the two into Halde
mnn-Julius and has so been known j
ever since.
But now the publisher has decided .
that marriage by a clergyman does!
not constitute a real wedding. So he'
and Mrs. Ha deman—ul ius will be j
married again—this time by a judge. |
Judge Ben Lindsey, noted juvenile,
judge of Denver, will performe the
“repeat” cercuiouy on the terrace of
the Haldenirtn-Julius home at Girard,
some time in May. The date has not
been decided because the day must
be sunny.
The “little book” millionaire, who
has been thinking furiously about
this institution of marriage, has de

‘“Applesauce,” a feature dramatic offering of the coming Hedpath Chau
tauqua, is a happy play with a message of cheerio, sunny skies and silver j
linings, from the pen of Barry Conners.
It is one of those synthetic concoctions of homely American virtues, |
sweet girlhood, glib young men and violent jerks at the heartstrings, well
calculated to thrill and delight every member of the audience. It will be
presented here by a fine cast of New York actors.

i Clded not only that marriages by
j elergy are unseemly and unfitting,
I but chat a marriage performed in
' gloomy weather is not right.
So the exact date for the Halde
nmn-Julius "repeat ceremony" will
not b« set until one day “come j
dawn" bright and golden.
"Marriage is a civil contruct, and
the proper person to tie the knot s
a judge, who represents the state,
ami not a preacher, .vho represents
the Church." says Haldeman-Julius.
"Marriage is a man-made institu
tion, regulated by law. I have al
uHy. regarded ihr fact that we were
mSfried by a preacher as a blot on
our lives, and for the satisfaction of
our intellectual integrity Marcet and
I have agreed to go through the cere
mony before a judge ”
A unique feature of the "repeat”
Haldeman-Julius marriage will be
the attendance of the bride by her
daughter, and of tlie groom by his
son.
Eight-year-old Alice will "give
her mother away,” and hold the
bride's bouquet while her father puts
| the ring upon her mother's left third
finger.
He'll Be Best Man.
And the groom, attended by his
son Henry, aged (i, will present his
i best man, no doubt, with a new
j scooter or baseball mitt rather than
.(lie conventional gold cuff links,
j "While it may seem strange for n
'father and mother to be married
j with their own children as bridal at-
I tendants,” says the millionaire fath
,er, "my wife Marcet ana I believe
that it will mean much to our chil
dren to remember that their parents
were consistent to their intellectual
integrity.
"And you must admit it is some
thing very unusual for a sou uud a
daughter to be attendants at the
wedding of their parents.”

T'nder the eaption "Distastful and t

This newspaper is in sympathy |

the trend of evolutionary teaching ,
and preaching in North Carolina and |

News rushed to its defense and ,
pledged its support and whatever as
sistance it could give so long as its
work was conducted along sound and
sane lilies and it« attitude was one
of ( Mristian tolerance and righteous

The qualifying clause put in at the
time lets us cut of any obligation
fuYther to try to promote the .inter

of such crass intolerance that we hap

NATIONAL HOSPITAL DAY
A Day Set Apart to Commemorate
the Birth of Florence Nightingale.
Washington, D. C., May 10.—Wed
nesday of this week will be observed
in nearly all English-speaking coun
tries as Hospital Day, a day set
apart to commemorate the anniver
sary of the birth of Florence Nightin
gale, everywhere regarded as the pio
neer in modern hospital and nursing
methods. In the United States the
observance tyill be nation-wide in ac
cordance with a proclamation issued
by Presklent Coolldge.
The object of thus setting aside, a*
National Hospital Day is to educate
the public in matteTs pertaining to
the latest scientific methods in the
treatment of disease, and to show the
large social relation of service that
exists between the nation’s hospitals,
the nation’s health and mortality, and
the nation's industrial efficiency and’
material prosperity.
In virtually every hospital of stand
ing throughout the country the occa
sion will be featured by exercises of
some kind. In many hospitals spe
cial clinics will .be held. In others
there will be receptions and exhibits.
Open house will be the order of the
day and courteous attendants will be
on hand to show the visitors around.
One of the aims of the observance
will be to make the public better ac
quainted with the human side of hos
pitals and similar institutions so that
people will perceive that in their hos
pitals they have a much-needed friend
that is worthy of their support and
encouragement to the fullest extent.
Miss Florence Nightingale, “the
angel of mercy” whose birth anni
versary has been chosen as the most
appropriate date for observance of
National Hospital Day, will always
be remembered as the greatest nurse
in history. When the brilliant ar
ticles of the late Sir William Howard
Russell, the great war correspondent,
fired all England with indignation at
the suffering of the sick and founded
soldiers in the Crimea in 1854, she
wrote the historic note to Mr. Sidney
Herbert, the British minister for war,
offering to organize and take out a
band of traiued nursea to the Crimea.
With 38 nurses she reached Scutari
on November 4, 1854, the day before
the battle of Inkerman. There she
faced the greatest problem that has
ever confronted a nurse. The wound
ed were poured by shiploads into the
great barrack hospital until thera
were four miles of beds, not eighteen
inches apart, filled with men as they
came from the battlefield. The hos
pital was chaos. The commissariat
had broken down, and there was
neither proper food nor changes of
clothing, nor medical comforts, nor
. hospital necessities. t
j How Miss Nightingale changed all
this, and extended her supervision to
j the other hospitals in the East, ia
matter of history. She broke through
red tape, defied the constituted author
ities, and gained for herself an im
perishable name in the annals of the
1 army. In 1910, only a few months
before her death. Miss Nightingale re
, eeived from King Edward the Order
' of Merit, being the first woman to re

There will, doubtless, be other with
drawals. if, indeed, the organization
has not literally undone itself for good
because .of what the publie will im-1
mediately conclude as to its capacity.
to proceed further in the promotion!
of the cause it sponsors.
Those who prayerfully and faith
fully insist thnt there is need in
North Carolina for the expression of
vigorous protest against sinister in
fluences that have been set resurgent
among our people and notably, in
some of our educational institutions,
to defy the historicity of the Bible
and to promote science to the down
fall of the Christian faith, yet have
a big work to do. a timely and appro
priate campaign to wage lenentlesgly
and without fear, but before they
can ever hope to achieve their right
eous ends, it will be essential that
,'.iey dissociate themselves from the
feudalists who pronounce their an
athemas upon ail refusing to follow
their own set and grooved opinions.
North Carolina people are tolerant
and hospitable in their attitudes in
matters of thought and speech, be
they ever so insistent that the sepa
ration of church ami state must be
kept inviolate.
The avernge man we meet and with
whom see have to do does not shake
his fist in the face of his feliowmail,
forsooth, beeause the latter will not
heartily and cravenly swallow a cut
nnd-dried opinion.
We concede thnt we have a right
to think for ourselves and to allow
the other fellow the same privilege.
The way to promote tile cause of
the Christian faith in this state and
among tlie people of such racial
strains as ours is not to bind and
gag them, but to lead them by gentle
suasion and l>y moral rather than
physiefil force and tongue-lashing in
to acceptance of truth.
| If wo can not arrive at our de
j sired objective by this method, we
j may as well give up the fight. No
! body is going to win such a gigantic
j battle as this by the knoek-down-and
f drag-out process.
I In spite of the distaste of it all
that lingers and the lamentable and
| pathetic spectacle that remains fresh
I in memory and with some may be
come unforettable, let us not consent
hnstily that, the Christian ministry
or the consecrated laity of the church
es of the state, as represented even
at this meeting, is unworthy or has
i fallen down on tme job of "adorning
! the doctrine.”
The whole is greater than any of
its parts and no small minority in
the estimation of n fair-minded pub
lic, will be allowed to color the judg
ment of the people generally as to
the judicial poise of the Christian pul
piteers of the state, men who do not
so grossly reflect upon the charity
j that.is Christ’s as a few, in a moment
of overcoming passion, appear to have
ceive the honor,
Miss Nightingale is justly regarded
ns the mother of the modern hospital
because she was the founder of the
profession of trained nursing, which
cbnstitdtes the foundation of modern
hospital service. Although she re
mained more or less of an invalid af
ter her Crimean experience, neverthe
less she contrived to write much that
was of valile. Her “Hospital Notes”
and her “Notes of Nursing” have cir
culated itT nearly all the countries of
the world. During the American
civil war she was constantly con
sulted as to the management of field
hospitals, and great good came of her
advice.
Nogales Ends Married Days.
The Pathfinder.
, Nogales, Ariz., and Nogales, Mexi
co, are twin cities. The international
boundary line bisects one of the main
streets. Nogales, Mexico, bids fair
to become a regular divorce mill un
der the new laws of the state of So
nora. In fact, it is said to have
already put Reno, Ncv., out of date
and made the Paris divorce a thing
of the past. In recent months No
gales has come to the front as one
of the fastest, pleasantest and handi
est divorce mills in existence, espe
cially for Americans. The result
is that thet housands of wearied hus
bands and wives who once sought
freedom in Nevada or France now
journey southward through Nogales,
Alix., to its sister city.
A two-minute walk from the inter
national line separating the twin
cities puts the freedom-seeking pil
grim in the Mexican court house. He,
or she, a* the case may be, stops at
one of the new hotela for a few days,
gets a divorce and is away." However,
the application must be accompanied
by a verified copy of the iparriage
certificate and an. agreement provid
ing for the children, if any, and for
disposition of common property. The
court then sets a date for an effort
to reconcile the couple. This, it is
said, is mere form and is soon dis
posed of. Then the plaintiff appears
in court,\the decree is issued and ev
erything is ever. The time for all
this varies from several days to a
maximum of two weeks.
Senor Arthur del Toro, a wealthy I
landowner in Sonora, is the "father" \
of the state's' divorce law. He de
fends it vigorously and believes it
constitutional although recent reports
indicate that a high Mexican court
docs not favor a similar law in the
state of Yucatan and may declare it
void. "The bernh bar and laity,”
he says, "are in favor of a divorce
law that permits separation without
digging skeletons from closets, ruin
ing reputations and washing soiled
linen in public. The granting of the
decrees takes little time, but consid
erable preparation is necessary. This
is the controlling factor. Without
proper foundation the court cannot
be expected to act. There is noth
ing cheap or tawdry about our pro
cedure.”

AN EFFORT TO PURGE
WAKE COUNTY POLITICS
Admiration is Expressed for the Atti
tude of Judge Calvert.
Tribune Raleigh Bureau.
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, May B.—General approba
tion of the stand taken by Judge
Thomas H. Calvert of the Seventh
Judicial: District and Solicitor W. F.
Evans, of the same district, for the
purging of the Wake County Demo
cratic executive committee of any
members who have ever been convict
ed of misdemeanors in Wake Super
ior Cofnrt, was freely heard today from
interested democrats on all sides. Al
most without exception admiration
was expressed i for the attitude of
Judge Calvert in his demaud that cer
tain members of the committee who
had been convicted of misdemeanors,
namely Jell Coke and Ed Chappell,
either .resign or be removed from the
committee.
"It is a move toward cleaner poli
tics and better government,” said one
Huii'igh man in close touch with coun
ty and state politics,” and Judge Cal
vert and Solicitor Evans are to be
commended for their stand, certainly
tlie public could not be expected to
have confidence in the committee and
its acts if members with court con
victions were allowed to sit in the
committee unchallenged.”
Judge' Calvert has taken a step in
tlie right direction and added im
measurably to his position by taking
the stand he has with regard tp the
. committee membership,” said another
in commenting on the situation. “One
cannot but admire his courage in tak
ing the position he has and it is bound
to react to his advantage among the
people who want law enforcement and
. cleaner government.” Much addition
al comment along the same line was
heard.
Chappell was convicted on a charge
of violating the prohibition law and
i paid a record fine. Coke also paid a
heavy line after having been convicted
: of runiiipg a gambling house. Both
men, however, are well thought of
in theiy communities and each has a
host of friends.
j Whether Coke and Chappell will re-
I sign depends upon them, personally,
| as they were duly elected at their pre
.; cinet meetings and have been eonvict
; ed only of a misdemeanor. Neither
1 1 has been iocatid as yet for a state
: j ment, but those close to them indicate
: that they probably will not resign.
In his formal statement, made pub
lic Friday, Judge Calvert said that
. he had been "shocked to hear that in
the organization of the party forces
. for the coming campaign convicted
| bootleggers and gamblers” had been
, put on thq county committee. He
. said further that, as judge of the su
i perior court, the situation imposed up
; on him a “duty which I have no right
: to shirk" and he urges that their "res
. ignations be asked for or demanded”
. and their places filled by "men or wo
men of character” in the manner pro
vided for by the party organization.

French River, Ontario, a Fisherman’s Paradise
MAIN CAMP, FBBMCH EIVER,OMTAEIO : f*'t ' BIG FEEMCK EIVEE’MUStOE'
Ozark Ripley, world famous fish
erman, who has flicked his fly over
ithe waters of French River, Nipigon
(and other famous fishing resorts
in Canada, writes about these re
sorts, referring, so far as French
River is concerned, to the bunga
low camp at French River, and the
Pine Rapids Camp which is some
distance from the main camp. Mr.
Ripley says:
There is a fascination to fishing
new waters hardly equalled by the
number of fish which are taken.
Because every stream and lake has
its peculiarities, a certain amount
)of study of loeal conditions is nec
essary. Successful, fly and bait
casting is study, especially when
applied to bass and trout fishing.
The real creed of sportsmanship
is solving new countries, new
[waters and deriving most pleasure
from the unexpected. Streams and
lakes are living things and deport
fheinselves accordingly. They may
pe full of aR kinds of game fish
pod yet yield us nothing until we
bow to local conditions and agree
pat they need sensible study.

rapids on French River in Ontario,
the people vowed it could not be
done. There were long trials be
fore I succeeded and yet a little
study brought some facts to my
knowledge. Late in the evening 1
found that some of these big boys
had a penchant for dropping over
the little, swift fall and preying on
the wall-eyed pike which were so
abundant below. The very first
white feather-minnow I cast after
becoming possessed of this hunch
connected me with a nice one that
gave me a merry half hour follow
ing up and down the rapid before
victory came to my credit.
In the lower Nipigon last sum
mer where the river ends its course
in Nipigon Bay I was singularly
fascinated by the clear, swift water
and the poor results I had with
ordinary trout and salmon flies,
then every once in a while I could
see one of the immense red-spotted
fish rise along the east bluffs be
low the Canadian Pacific bridge. 1
knew for quite a while that these
big trout were by nature minnow
feeders; their special favorite was
the little local chap harboring

, But what pleasure would there b®
i in taking one of these kingly brook
trout with bait ? Study of th®
river gave me an idea. Then fo*
a lure I attached a quarter ounc®
snap swivel sinker to a feather*
minnow made of Plymouth Rock
rooster hackels. That is how I
took my first five and one-half
pound brook trout last summer i®
the Nipigon.
There are bass lakes and bass
lakes, bass streams and bas*
streams. This applies to the fas
South as well as the far North.
Studying them carefully is whs)
pays. I had to observe and study,
and right off my solution came t®
me that the bait or fly fisherman
wants to fish in the very places t®
which the worm fisherman neve*
ventures, and wait until he see*
bass feeding in these parts before
he presents his'artificial offering#.
