Dangers Of Matsimony.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
From the time since the world be-
gan there have been male scoffsrs ct
mstrimony, but, as a general rule,
they have consisted of wretched old
bachelors who could get nobody to
have them. Whatever married men
may think on the subject, they are
usually too we'll disciplined to give
expression to rebellious sentiments.
The Divorced Mems Club, of Ala
media, Cal., suburb Of San Fran
ciso, enjoys the distinction Of glori-
flying in the escape Of it's members
from the marital state and devotes
itself to the work of warning de-
luded young men Of the dangers of
matrimony. I'VE have been there
ourselves" they say in effect, ''and
We know whereof We speak. Those
bent on wreckiDg their lives should
profit by our sad and narrowing ex-
periences. If you want to be happy
remain single. Adam had no trouble
until Eve joined him in the Garden
of Eden The club is regarded by
it's members as benevolent associa-
tion, sort of life saving service, and
it has already done effective work IN
rescuing a number Of men who were
in imminent danger. 10 the words
of the Secretary: "Our club is do
ing a great deal of good in prevent
ing men from allowing their love to
get the better of their judgment.
Several men who thought Of getting
married have been saved by the mis-
sionaries, and we intend to push the
good work along"
The women who have been divorced
from the members of the. club could
probably say something Of their side
about "sad and narrowing expert
ences." They were doubtless as
glad to be freed from the bonds OF
matrimopy as their husbands, and
many have had ever better cause for
wishing their freedom. But they DO
not appear to have formed club TO
denounce marriage or to proclaim the
evils Of wedlock. They no doubt
realize their experience has been e1-
ceptional, and do not feel that they
should attempt to prevent other peo-
pie being happy because they have
missed happiness themselves.

Served Him Right.

A tragedy occurredtep miles south
east of Greenville on Friday night Of
last week, in which Lum Watson, a
prominent young farmer, was shot
and mortally wounded by j. +. Sloan,
a neigbbor, also farmer. Watson
had been paying attention to Sloan's
daughter, a bright handsome girl.
Watson has made a dying declara-
ton, stating that Miss Sloan had
made an engagement with him to
meet her Friday night. He was to
hang about the house and when her
father had retired she would put out
the light. He was to 60 to win
dow and tap three times TO notify
her of his presence. At midnight
the light was extinguished, he went
to the window and tapped and le-
ceived a load of buck:hot in his
breast.

St. Louis, July "A special to
the Post Dispatch from Austin, Texas,
says: Governor Sayers received TO-
day message, from Sealey over the
long distance telephone saying that
1000 persons who had taken refuge
on mound three miles below there
are slowly perishipg for the want OF
food. To add to the horror, the un-
fortunates are surrounded by poison
Gus reptiles. Huddling together
with the human beings are several
hundred of live stock. A number of

Duke, Texas, July The food
situation is more grave today. The
river rose two feet during the night
and is still rising. The life savers Of
Galveston started out soon after day
light and are doing splendid work.
The Galveston crews brought in
6S refugees last night from the high
embankment at the Sante Fe bridge
over the Brazos, where the peoplo
had taken refuge. Refugees are
focking in on all sides of the river.

DRo1N1NGs AND DISASTERS.
Richmond, Texas, July 7.-Never
in the history of Richmond were
such scenes witnessed ass are depicted
today. Business is practically sus-
pended. Many plantations are under
water. All trains, save those on the
Southern Pacific west, have been
abandoned. Provisions are running
low, and unless something is done
quickly there will be great suffering
here in few days. It is believed
that there will be at the very least
from 5000 to 5000 persons to feed
from this place within week. Stories
of drownings and disaster are COM
ing in constantly, but they cannot be
verified, although it is probable that
many of them are correct. The
water has reached the river bridge
and is dashipg between the iron guy
rods under it, and for the first time
the railroad company has stopped all
traffic over it.

TOLL OR FREE ROADS

There il a consi lerao demand on
the part of people for free roads and
the doing away with toll roads through.
ou. the country, and in this G-mand is
included the toll ro id leading from
Long Hollow beyond Bakeoven, kno wn
as Shearer road, many; insisting that
this road should he owned and main.
tained by tie comfy.
While the principle of all roads
being free is correct, there are ex.
ceptions, and the Shearer road is cer-
tainiy one of them. Deschutes canyon
is mos difficult country over which
to build road, and to keep it in re.
pair requires considerable Outlay of
money each year. The expense of
keeping it up would be heavy tax up
on the county, and were it Undertaken.
it is not unlikely that the road would
be i'm oassable in short time. So
long as that thoroue hfare is toll road
it will be kept in good repair, but
shoald IL become public property the
chances are favorable that it would
ere long become of little use. 1t would
be fortunate thing to the travelling
public if all roads were free, but where
one is so expensive to keep up as this
road is, it is better that it remain in
the possession of private parties, for
they will keep in good repair because
ii is source of revenue, and since it
is maintained at the expense of those
who use it, there is no great injustice
so long as tolls are reasonable.

a GRAFT CJT OFF.

By the rendition of an opinion by
Attorney General Blackburn. at the
request of Secretary of State Dunbar,
it appears that the state will be saved
quite large amount of annual ex-
penditures. General Blackburne vas
asked for advice relative to the secre-
tary of states duty in auditing claims
which have been presented and which
may yet be presented for printing done
by the state printer for several differ
ent puclic Institutions of the state,
and for boards which have been cre-
ated by the legislative assembly, and
ADVICE as to VIII hether or not the claims
should be andited and allowed by him,
and If so, against what funds the
warrante should be drawn. He holds
that the printing bills of the state
board of dental examiners, state board
Of medical examiners, state board of
BARRIERS examiners. and state board of
pharmacy must be paid by the boards
out of the fees which they are author
lied to collect and not by the state out
of the general fund appropriated by
the legislature for state printing. The
printing bills of the state food and
dairy commits sioner, state game and
forestry warden, Soldiers Home at
Roseburg, state fish commissioner,
penitentiary, insane asylum. reform
school, blind school and deaf mute
school, it is held, must be paid out of
the appropriations made for their Of

ORGANIZED LABOR.

In Portland labor unions are more
active than they have been for many
wears, and an assembly of federate d
trades in that city sees-s 10 be assured.
going about the organization in a
systematic and business like way that
bespeaks success, and their efforts, if
carried out on the plans they have
outlined, will have a salutary effect.
They propose to devise for submitting
all difficulties between employers and
employees to arbitration by clear
headed, uninterested parties, thus, if
possible. preventing strikes and settl-
ing difficulties fairly to both parties.
Labor leaders recognize more than
ever that there is little 70 be gained
by strikes, which result only in de-
priving them of employment for the
time and also loss to employers which
the la boring man usually makes good
after the strike is settled and work re-
sumed, therefore it is most imp ortant
that strikes be prevented il reasonable
wages may be maintained without
them, since they cause enforced Idle
ness and result in little good.
Labor unions are advantageous in
every lire of industry, if they are con.
Quoted for good ends, but like all bene-
fetal institutions may be abused when
they are used to further selfish or un.
lawful purpo-es. A union in any line
of industry tends to enhance the effi-
cheney of the workman, for he must at
tain a certain degree of profit .iency be-
fore he can become a member, and as
rule the employer gets better service
from the union artisan than from the
non-union man. therefore it is to the
intere-t of the employer a5 well as the
empioye that unions be maintained. (.
Another beneficial result is the keep
ing up of a uniform scale of wages
which is alike of advantage to the
laborer and the one who employs
labor. The organization of labor
unions is elevatiag 30 the membership
so long as they are conducted for good
purposes, and they should be mair-
tained in all places where wage earn
ers are sufficiently numerous to make
tn t N practica BILE.
