One wonders If all these Judges anil who are turning out the freak verdicts are in earnest, whether tbey are laughing in their sleeves ami deliberately doing their wont in an effort to advance the causa of woman suffrage which will be rated upon this fall We now have before as the ease of Mr. and Mrs.

Wade Aoefoaoa. At the time of their marriage Mrs. Robinson, who was then really forty-nine years of age, deceived ber prospective husband into thinking she was thirty-two. mm, five years afterward. Mr.

Robinson discovered how he had been duped, he asked for a divorce. This Vice- Chancellor Stevenson refused to grant. By so doing, the Vice-chancellor upheld the doctrine That onlv when tolerance. IN INDEPENDENCE DAY. ft la 1M years since the first signer wrote his big, firm "John Hancock" at the top of the list.

Little did he know that in thus definitely expressing his principles his act wotikl i was Into a proverb. Little, in fact, dltl any of the signers know what would be tlie result tt their brave stand. Nor could the most imaginative ot them have guessed what sort of country. In the course of the next century and more, their little band of colonies was to become, lint that It has become so big. so great, so strongly Idealistic, is due In large measure to (lis driving spiritual force Imparted to Its early growth by the courage and Ideals or those who signed the Declaration of Independence.

We call this day "Independence Day." "Independence" Is one of our sacred words. Wbat does it mean? To Uie signers of the Declaration It meant simply the cutting looso from England this country's right to work out its own salvation free from bondage to another. To the young persons of some parts ot the country to he "independent" has come to mean to be Impatient or restraint. One bears "She doean't get along at homo" nr "at her ob" or "with her husband" because "she's too The word "independence In this sense Is used to cover a certain upplshness, a dlm-egsrd for authority, for conventions, an inconslderatness of Uie feelings ot others, particularly of those older than the "Independent" ones. It Is a sort of self-reliance gone to seed.

This view ot independenco, for a nation as well as tor an Individual, Is dangerous and unworthy. Neither the Individual nor tho nation who brags ot his aloofness from others, who falls to hold a "decent respect for the opinions of mankind" is showing oither true bravery or good sense. Individuals and nations must hang together for the common good If the world is to move. Self-reliance Is a splendid nttallty when it is tempered with consldera-un for the rights ot others. Just now when we are most glad to be free from entangling alliances, from the quarrels of Europe, standing on our own feet, holding with strong hands to our Ideals of peace, when most, in a word, we cherish our "independence" Just now it is well 'o realise that in most of the things which make life worth while we and all the nations of the earth are In fact mu- frlendll- LEADING CITIZENS ENDORSE AUDITORIUM BUILDING PROJECT A Few Expressions From Repre-J sentative People- Unanimous Approval is Sentiment op All Sides.

HER VACATION thai matrimony is a market In which the rule of "Caveat "VMMn." la innnnm 1T unhelri a wnman'n rlttt tn eon-' rw p. cent her age, and maintained that such concealment was no signpil for dissolving the conjugal relation. Altl the papers have taken the decision New York Tribune: "doe IS at a loss which to admire the more, the rose-OOlstisri1 spectacles with which Cupid must have endowed Mr) Ilebinson. or the art, combined, no doubt, with a happy disposition, which enabled Mrs. Robinson to do her pert In the deception.

The vice-chancellor very vt-jsaHU bestowed hts respeet on Ike hitter. Inclining pro-ash to the oft-expressed belief that a woman is as old as ahe looks an old, for, tftepwpbses of matrimony, as she looks to her hetrotned. "It Is well to have the truth of this adage legally recognised, It is also well that matrimony should not be deprived of all those elements of chance which have made perhaps the sportiest of all human propositions." The affair, does ot course, incline one to smiles. Han the woman been thirty-five and said she was eighteen, or oven thirty-nine and said she was twenty-two, much ot the levity would have been justified. Under the exact circumstsnces, however, the matter assumes a very different aspect.

Mr. MoWnson had made It quite plain to his aaneee In the days of courtship thai as he was the last or hts Una, Me et his main expectations of the marriage was that he mttJtt oMthrae it This frankness meant no disparage- itfMt of the lady, nor that he loved her less, but was ratb-, ar eompIinMsnt since he chose her for the highest honor he could bestow, that of asking her to he the mother ot has eteUdrea. The future Mrs. Robinson Is said, as part ot the deception, to have entered into these plans with enthusiasm and to baxe expressed the hope that the tir.it-bera would bo a son. ifetr marriage, whatever tt may or may not be re-UgiOOsly, socially, or personally, Is in the eyes of the etafe a civil contract.

As such, one of Its main purpose Is the continuation of the raoe. ness, humor and humility arc added to our vaunted self-reliance do we truly and fittingly celobrale our ladepemV a hoc Day. JiO RUSSIAN SUPREMACY, It la Interesting to note with what equanimity the American pylifte, even that considerable part of It which hopes to -See Uie Allies win, views tli defeat of the Russian armies in Oallcla. There is, ot course, no such feeling against Russia as there was during the Japanese wax. In faWt' tie JfiUiii generally is well disposed toward Russia.

But that friendly disposition doesn't blind American eyes to trie defects that still mar the Intrinsic greatness of the Rus sian nation and the evils that cling to the Russian government. Intelligent Armericans, whatever their racial sympathies, are not eager to see Russia win glory from this war. They believe It would be unfortunate for civilisation It fate should make Rusala the decialve factor In defeating Germany and Austria If they are defeated. Russia may be destined to lead Europe some day; ttv; race has admirable qualities and Is capable of great things. But Russia's hour has not yet come.

She is uo'. yet sufficiently civilised. So we are not ready to welcome shell Russian domination of Kurope as might result from a vietorlous war tn which she appeared aa the savior ot the other Allies. If any ot the Allies is to win added glory and prestige, most Americans would prefer that It should be France, with Smgland a close second. CATCHING BOOTLEGGERS.

There has been some hesitancy on the part of the board of supervisors to pay some items of expense in curred by the sheriff's office In the apprehension of those who have violated tn this county the prohibition law of the state. The controversy seems to have arisen over, i MumtriM h.r. the employment of detectives by Sheriff Wheeler and That representative cltlsens are fully in accord with the purpose of the Auditorium project Is attested by the following Interviews: Dr. Ralph E. Herendeep: "In my ouinlon the building of this auditorium will be the greatest move towards the protection of the health of the community that has ever been undertaken, aside from cleanliness around our homes.

All public buildings where people gather In large numlera should be well ventilated and properly heated This is only one of the many advantages which the new building will provide. I will be only too glad to subscribe for a few shares of the stock." Lon Bailey, postmaster: "This will be a move not only to benefit the fraternal orders, but will give the District a building such as every sensible person knows we, ought to have, and at the same Ume, an Investment that will be safe. Every person taking a few shares of this stock will feel mighty proud that we have shown com mon sense enough to co-opornte and provide ourselves with proper protection from tire, seating capacity to give us reasonable rates of admission and stage facilities to properly put on a first-class play. I will gladly assist in every possible manner to push the project to completion." William R. Kelly, well known miner: "I think this bidding proposition ought to have the unanimous support of all residents of the Warren District It will be a benefit from any angle from which we view the project.

1 wi take a few shares and would like to see everyone do the same. The larger the number Interested the greater the success." Rev. O. M. Andrews: "This building should have the assistance of ev ery broad guaged citlten In the district.

We need the building for the accomodation ot our population. A theatre, lodge room and convention hall are all badly needed but the building will provide seating capacity sufficient to justify us to bring noted speakers here occasionally which we are now unable to do. am with you gentlemen to help carry It through."

la this case we have a civil contract Into which one of work of PPrehendlng bootleggers and securing uTparf.H entered with what seem, to have 'been thelr eviction say. tbe International, then MhMate The Judicial decision, evidently, was based on an an- superstition that woman, not being a reasoning Is not responsible for ber acts. She Is a child, a ward, where she Isn't quite a chattel, and she must be "protected" even from herself. "All's fair in love-' an1 courtship, and youth being an asset in the matrimonial market, a woman is entitled to lie about her age If stie ran get away with It. The modern woman In acquiring rights, has also accepted reBponnlbllltles.

Hhe expects to enter matrimony ax a contract to which she In a free agent, and she accepts the penalties for ronit doina. If Vice-Chancellor Stevenson's decision be tbe type of "protection" for which tbe anti-suffragists stand, the sooner women are unprotected and turned out upon -H cruel and unfeeling world, the better for their souls. he must be permitted to have detectives; known officers ot the law are under the closest watch by those seeking to introduce and sell liquor In the county. No officer has any opportunity to do business with a bootlegger and thus procure evidence required for his conviction, so If this outlaw Industry is to be controlled It will be necessary to provide such men as are In a position to procure evidence, for submission in court. The itemised expense of two detectives in this county for the month of May totalled $466.70.

No item of ex pense seems to be extravagant and all was approved by County Attorney J. K. Ross. Something like 110 of this amount was disallowed by the supervisors. Without criticising the board for this action this paper would impress upon the board members what we believe a fact.
