Your friendly gesture is greatly appreciated, THE ORACLE. THE RIGHT TO MARRY Quite an ecclesiastical discussion is going on in the ranks of the Protestant Episcopal church over criticism directed against two clergymen who married di- vorced women. The critic is Bishop William E. Man- ning, who does not believe that the clerzy- men can solemnize other marriages and say in the words of the service, “So long as you both shall live,” or “Till death do us part,” or “Those whom God has joined to- gether, let no man put asunder.” The matter is one for the church it- self to solve, but even a layman can note that the controversy settles around the age- old assertion of various churches that they alone have the right to marry human bé- ings. In some countries it should be noted, a civil marriage is not legal and, in many ecclesiastical atmospheres a civil marriage is regarded as no union. While we would suggest to young peo- ple, about to be married, that they use the services of the church of their choice, we do not recognize the right of any religious group, either Christian, Buddhist, Com- munist or Moslem, to deny to individuals the privilege of marriage unless it comes within the rules and regulations of the church. We are quite conscious of the fact that many devout people look with horror upon the practice of divorce, but, as far as we are personally concerned, we are quite cer- tain that divorce is justified in some in- stances. Moreover, we are equally certain that we have witnessed so-called marriages which, by no stretch of the imagination could be attributed to the Almighty. The best excuse is no excuse. Peiasii ac ee Coarse wamantor aD The trouble with any attempt to be absoluteily fair is that both sides promptly lambaste you for being “on the other side.” oO ey nee eee Now that the cigar shortage has been solved, the nation needs men and women willing to do a full day’s work for a full day's pay. Chronic traffic violators in Los An- geles are being branded by having a con- spicious sign “Traffic Violator,” pasted on the windshield of their cars for 30 days, in addition to paying a fine. A most effec. tive way to halt careless drivers and traf- fic violators, \self in the “Maine woods.” len POLITICAL MUD WALLOW A “Coxey’s Army” of Americans would march on Washington if they knew but one-tenth of the political trickery and dishonesty that goes goes on in the capi: tai city. Political underhand’ work in Key West, Monroe County or even in the state of Florida is “small pickin’s” compared with the Washington brand of political wire-pulling, some of it désigned to enrich the puller, as happened in the case of Re- presentative Andrew May of Kentucky. The Citizen doesn’t pretend to know the reason that actuated Senator Ferguson, chairman of the senate sub-committee to investigate wartime contracts, to adjourn the Hughes hearing suddenly, but not only Democrais bélieve that Senator Brewster of Maine has the bear by the tail and is unable to let go. Newspapers generally ugree that Brewster got the worse of his tilt with Hughes. That must have been evident to the GOP leaders on the side- jines, and might have been the reason for Senator Fergusofi’s abruptly recess- ing thé hearing till November 17. While The Citizen deplores the “par- ties” that Hughes’ publicity agent, John W. Meyer, gave presumably to gain support for Hughes’ efforts to get government con- tracts, yet the gravest charge made at the hearing was one that Senator Brewster, according to Hughes’ testimony, had of- fered not to conduct the investigation if Hughes merged his airplane-building com- pany with Pan-American Airways. Brewster denied the charge, but Hughes’ insistence that it was true had created an atmosphere at the hearing that wilted Republican collars, particularly Brewster’s. As Hughes declared, Brewster seized the opportunity to try to lose him- it’s risky to stir a political mud wal- low whether it is at a “cracker barrel” in a crossroads hamlet or in the nation’s capital. About the silliest custom we know, and we know many, is that which permits aliens to vote in some American elections. WHAT THE CONSUMER WANTS At various times polls have been made of consumer needs, deSires and eccentri- cities. And the answers show why there is plenty of toom for all kinds of stores, from independents to chains, and from gigantic department stores to little special- ty shops. One segment of the consuming public is primarily interested in price. It com- pares the prices of competing retailers and always goes where the most is offered for the money. Another segment is interested in cer- tain trade-marked brands, and buys only in stores which carry those it favors. Still another segment places service high on the list of its requirments. It wants deiivery of goods to the home, the charge account privilege, a very liberal policy in exchange, etc., and it is willing to pay the added costs that these and other services entail. Under the free competitive svstem— which is the American system—there is a store to meet every demand. Every kind and character of consumer commodity is stocked, and a long list of brands is offer- ed. If one store can’t meet some buyer’s standards, another store down the street will, And every merchant who keeps up with the times will get his share of the business. American retailing is geared to serve the varying wishes of the 140,000,- 000 Americans who patronize it. Did you know that Coral Gables has a “flying cop” to patrol the skies? EARTH SINKS UNDER TOWN Torn sidewalks, ruptured buildings and buckled pavements in Welch, W. Wa., re- veal a movement of the earth which has | inhabitants keenly interested. The coal town may have been under- mined by the digging of fuel but town of- ficials say that there ate no charts to back } up this supposition. Others express the } idea that an underground stream might | be undermining the foundation. Anyway, | several buildigs have wide cracks and one | sidewalk has pulled away from a building. { i i | | | | { We do not assume that the sinking of | @ area in Welch will become more ser- | ious but we call attention to the report because most of us take it for granted that the earth is immovable. It is so unusual that any slippage of the surface brings forth speeniation and caneern.
