dili not stay oct long.
Senator Charles K. Barrett ha* acquired the Shawnee Weekly Trans-
cript a local republican newspaper, and took charge today. He will
change the paper to a Simon-pure democratic Journal and give his entire
attention to Its management and publication.
As a newspaper man of exceptional ability and wide experience, Sena-
tor Barret, will be able to add no small degree of interest to the local
situation during tie coming campaign, and with a newspaper at his com-
mand he will be apt to put more than ordinary zest into the congressional
race which he has entered In earnest.
The News-Heralll wishes him unlimited success In his new enterprise,
as the editor and publisher of a weekly newspaper in Shawnee.

wisconsin mauria(ie law cnconstitl tion al.
The apparent deadlock In Wisconsin over the amendment to the mar-
riage law reqiring a physicians certificate iw a condition for a marriage
license has been broken, for the present, at least, by the decision of t "J
Milwaukee county circuit court that the law Is unconstitutional and void.
The matter was brought before the circuit court on an application for a
writ of mandamus, directed against the county clerk, ordering him to issue
a marriage license to an applicant without a health certificate. I he court
held that the amount of fee provided for the examinations as required by
law was unreasonably low, and that the law was an undue interference
with personal liberty. This decision, while only that of a circuit court,
acts as a stay (<■ the enforcement of the law until the higher courts have
passed on the question. Perhaps no otlier topic has Inspired so large an
amount of newspaper comment In the last month. Wisconsin's experi-
ence, says the Journal of the American Medical Association, should be a
warning to state legislatures to not enact hastily any Ill-considered laws
on complex scientific subjects. The discussion of eugenics, race better-
ment and marriage regulation is productive of a large amount of good, but
premature efforts to crystallize hastily formed opinions Into laws can result
only In confusion.

that the old-fashioned mustard plas-

Americans have a passion for statlstistlcs and the gathering of figures

Dr. H. Shlndle Wtngert. director or physical education at the Ohio State
university, to reveal the defects in the athletic system of American colleges
and universities. It was already too well understood that the majority of
tne higher Institutions of learning lay undue emphasis on the training of
a few highly specialized teams for Intercollegiate games instead of direct-
ing their energies to the beneficent end of developing a love for sport
among all the undergraduates.
While Dr. Wlngert's figures are unnecessary to an understanding of
the situation, nevertheless, some of them are Interesting and should stimu-
late the movement toward a more general participation In sports among
students. He shows that a billion dollars Is spent annually on athletics
in American colleges, and that most of this goes to the developing of highly
trained athletes for the great Intercollegiate matches.
Of 150 colleges Investigated, with their 111.600 students, only 18,359
take part In Intercollegiate games and 45.378 In non-varBlty matches 1 lils

and the sooner tie college authorities and students realize the fart, the
better.
