In your last week issue we find an

we do not all see through th** same
glasses, and this Is quite natural. 1
believe t he marriage license Jaw is a
good one, for mor** than one reason.
1st, too many of young people look
upon a marriage as a huge joke, but
really it Is the most sacred and im
portant contract of our life. How-
careful are we to look after a busi
ness contract, even for on** year du
ration we must know our man and
then everything must he put on re
cord. but. how about a" contract that
will Iasi a lifetime? One w'ho.wiU
he a constant companion in our
time an 1
before it
might’ be too late.

Another good reason, it is a com
parison law to the divorce law thsvt
we have on our statute book.' which

Aa to the whiskey problem, whis-
k n y should never be legalized, es
pecially for the revenue, the sale ol
whiskey and its use makes a hot bed
for criminals, poverty and ignor
ance.' We should enact laws that
will establish the b^st class of citi
zens. ^ Why should men engage in 2
business that brings all the evils that
can be brought about by its use for
the little money they make out of it.
