The Presidents Sacrifice.

The self-sacrifice of President McKin-
ley, in leaving the bedside of his dying
mother at the call of public duty, COM
mands the respect and sympathy of
the nation.
Biographies and friends tell us, and
his own actions have shown, that the
President is devoted and loving son;
yet he re stricts himself to the privilege
of but few brief hours in which to
watch the fluttering and fading life
light in the beloved form of his aged
parent, then hastens back to his post
at the head of the nations affairs.
The sacrifice was voluntary. 1t is
hardly possible that one of the many
millions of American people would
have complained had the president Civ
en- precedence to the sad domestic duty
and held in allegiance the public work
to which he has been called. However
differing as to plans of governance and
policy of legislation, the whole people
appreciate their presidents devotion
to the important public matters in
hand and share in his private sorrow.

Bachelors Must Marry

The words contained in the caption
of this article were promulgated a few
days ago by Mrs. Charlotte Smith,
President of the Woman's Rescue Lea
que of Boston, Washington and New
York. Mrs. Smith has submitted the
following rules which she would have
materialized into law by the Congress
of the United States, and has formu-
lated the attached petition, addressed
to the President and Congress to those
rules. Read them:
First-That every man and woman
of manageable age be compelled to
marry by law.
Secondhand national matrimon-
ial bureau be established to aid in en-
forcing the law.
Third-That the office of United
States commissioner of Matrimony be
created and that Mrs. Smith be ap-
pointed to that office.
Fourth-That national matrimonial
fund be appropriated for dowries of
from 1901 to $500 for poor girls to pro.
vide wedding trousseau and furnish a
modest home.
Fifth-That rich bachelors who re-
fuse to marry shall annually pay fine
which will be equivalent to the support
of family.
Sixth-That poor men who refuse to
obey the matrimonial law shall be pun
ished, as for any other infraction of
the law, by Imprisonment
Seventh That women who refuse to
marry shall be punished in the same
way as the men.
To the President and Congress of the
United States, Greeting:
We, your humble petitioners, beg for
immediate relief from your honorable
body for the following good and sufii-
Gent reasons;
As industrial women and wealth pro-
ducers, we are entitled to the benefits
of the products of our labor. We were
promised protection by the present
protective administration, which up to
the present time, has been an empty
promise, nothing more. There has been
but little done by manufacturers and
corporations to better the conditions
of the wage-women, who create 81 per
cent of the wealth produced in all the |
light manufacturing industries in these
United States,
This deplorable state of affairs makes |
it an utter impossibility for 100000 |
women to obtain husbands, or remun-
erative employment, so they may be
provided for in their declining years.
The manufacturers see to it that their
machinery is kept in good repair and
properly oiled and cared for, but the
human machinery is not as tenderly
looked after. What are we to do with
this standing army of manageable and
unemployed women, who can neither
marry nor go to service?
Statistics prove that GO per cent of
the manageable men in New York and
Massachusetts do not marry. We want
this vexed question settled at once by
legislation making marriage compul-
sorry.
The problem of what we shall do with
our surplus female population must
be solved, either by such compulsory
law or the establishing of state and ma
tional matrimonial bureaus, and in the
appointing of committees of investiga.
ton by Congress.
