A NEW STUNT. THE U. S. OF EUROPE. TRIAL MARRIAGE? OLD. A LAWSUIT FOR MINORS. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE-''* Here is a new “American stunt.” As the Aquitania was sailing from New York yesterday, a terrifically loud voice, that seemed to come from the heavens, or from no where, shouted “Hello Aquitania, paging Mr. Dubois.” Mr. Dubois, president of the Western Electric company, realized that his ofice was trying out a new radio instru ment that magnifies the human voice 12,000 times. That's important news for Eng land. Send out over British colon ies where primitive people live, in South Africa, Asia, etc., a voice from the heavens in the native dia lect, saying that Mohammed, Bud dha, or Cetebos, as the case might • be, wishes all the faithful to re vere and serve the British. What an effect that would have. Phillip Snowden, labor member of the British parliament, pro poses creating “The United States of Europe,” to replace the present governments, frontiers, customs, armies, navies, etc. It would be ideal and it will come eventually, but not for many years, unless some conquering power from Asia should force it as fear of Germany forced a united command under Foch. Old hatred, envies, differ ences in language, religion and habits are too strong for any union, within a thousand years, unless it be forced. They say that in floods and for est fires savage animals refrain in their fear, from killing their usual prey. Europe has not yet had her real forest fire, although that late war was a bad scorching. Ladi.es called "feminists” ad vocate trial marriage, to be fol lowed by permanent marriage, if the trial is successful. That idea is older than feminism, and real marriage was started to do away with trial marriage. Marriage is man's education, his lest, his discipline, his ultimate destiny. He is not fit for it yet, being too near the monkey, whose life is one long “trial marriage.” The trial marriage theory is that couples about to be married do not know each other, cannot lie sure of happiness together and a trial would diminish the number of divorces. Men must learn to be married, and stay married, and only mar riage, persisted in for a few thou sand years more will make them fit for marriage. The “owners” , th?,t sold the waste culm banks, dust, stone, stye and rubbish to the public as “coal,” perpetrated a double fraud on the public and on the workmen that dug and handled the elum piles, without any pay for the work. Miners arc paid only for good salable coal dug from the mines. They get nothing for digging the rubbish that goes in the dump, and that has recently been sold for millions. Officers of the miners’ union should bring suit to compel pay ment to the workers for work done on the culm piles, and never paid " for. As to the right of the miners to be paid, there can be no ques tion. The material dug and han dled by them, and classed as worthless, has been sold at high est prices. They are entitled to pay. Incidentally suits brought by the miners would bring into court the cheating of the public, a useful thing—if it happened to be the right court. Sancta Maria chapter of the Catholic Daughters of America gave a copy of the Catholic Ency clopedia, a useful, interesting and complete work, to the public school of Belleville, N. .1 Protest against Keeping that wot,: in pub lic schools was made by the follow ing imposing array: Junior Order United American Mechanics, the . D. A. R., Royal Riders of the Red Robe, the Ladies of the Invisible Empire, Patriotic Order Sons of America, etc. . We do not lack societies in the United States. All of these earn est Protestant ladies and gentlemen ought to have that Catholic Ency clopedia within reach, if only to study up on the word index which is an old idea. T<> say you shall not read a book is ^to make sure that it will be read.” The Catholic Encyclopedia was moved from the public school to the public library. To N otc on Sunday Motifs.

" The most serious of the Johnson charges against Goodhue was that while the stone used to date was suit able for the construction, the state was paying 75 cents per cubic foot for it although the same stone lould lie obtained at a price of 35 cents per cubic foot less than w.:s being charged the state of Nebraska.
