New York, April 9-As be-
tween the man who, with dinner
pail in hand, goes to hard labor
every day and earns the money
with which to support his humble
home where wife and children are,
and the single man whose dollars
are used only for himself, l con-
fess | have vastly more respect for
the common toiler with his pail.
There is a great deal Of selfish
ness under the skin of some of
these bachelors. They pride them
selves that they know how to win
in the game of life. Comfortably
housed in a hotel, or with a pri-
vate family, with smiles for all the
girls and heart for none, these
men look with feelings of self
satisfaction and Of sympathy at
other men whom thev call the
unfortunate victims of the matri-
monial trap.
He's caught, is he?" they say,
when announcement is made that
an acquaintance is about to be
married. Then these self con-
tented creatures attend the we'd
ding feast, laugh, chat and eat,
and 90 back to their bachelor
apartments congratulating them
selves that they are so much wiser
than the majority Of their fellows,
and smile as they think of their
friend who has been caught III the
whirlpool Of sentiment. having
soon to begin to curtail expenses,
and not being able any longer TO
keep up his end with the rest of
the boys. Oh, these shirks of the
responsibilities of the home !
These fellows who are helping to
take the foundation stones out of
the home life! Reared within the
walls of their own home, cared for
by loving parents who themselves
bore the responsibilities of a home,
these men refuse to pay the debt
which they owe to humanity.
WANTS BACHELORS TO REFLECT.
Say, now, you bachelors, when
You are comfortably seated in your
room this evening and enjoying a
smoke, just take a few minutes in
which to think of what it means
for one to do what you are doing
You are the end of a line of de-
scent running back into the ages,
for how long period no one knows,
but to say the least, for a great
many centuries. Like the links of
chain your ancestry traces itself
back through generation after gen
Grafton, and here YOU are at the
end of the chain. You are the
last link. Are you going to end
this chain with yourself? Are
you going to be the last link in a
chain which ought to go down
through the centuries? Serious
thing, my bachelor friend, to be
responsible for ending a chain that
has taken millions Of years to
make thus far.
Change your position in your
easy chair, take another puff at
the fragrant cigar and think some
more. just follow out IN theory
for all men the practice of your
own life, and see what it would
lead to in fifty years. Yoa know
this earth swallows her population
more than twice in a century, and
if all these married people on
whom you bestow your selfish
sympathy had done the same that
you are doing there would be but
few people left at the end of fifty
years Streets would become al
most depopulated, the ways of
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-04-09


and even the hotels and fashiona-
BILE boarding houses would no
longer have the ranks of bachelor
hood from which to recruit guests.
You are helping to check the flow
of humanity, and if all other men
initiated your course this old
mother earth would be upon the
market for rent in 1899, if not be-
fore.
SINGLE MEN LACK COURAGE.
Take another puff at the cigar and
use your gray matter little more.
Be honest now. Is it just the
thing to allow these women, who,
with a wealth of love, wait to bless
mans heart and home. to go on
toiling separately and waiting in
vain? Has it occurred to you that
there is another kind of courage
besides that shown in Manila9 Has
it occurred to you that it is manly
thing for one to take a wife to love
and protect? Has it occurred to
you that society cannot afford to
lose its home life, and that old
bachelors are not the kind o. ma
terial out of which homes are made?
After all, the man with the tin
pail is ten times more of man
than YOU are. He shares the
strength of his arm and the love
of his heart with a wife and chill
dren. He is a colabOrer in the
cause of humanity and you are not.
If l marry l shall have to give
up living in my present style and
| shall lose lots of good times.
That is it. Doesn't the selfishness
show clearly enough in these words?
True. you would give up some
things, but you would gain more.
Farmers have a practice Of giving
up large quantities of seed, but
they find it a paying investment.
Now you are free to go where
you please. You have a surplus
money to spend ON cigars, the
drama, and upon anything which
takes your fancy. You can pass
the time very pleasantly with the
young ladies who enjoy your com
pany, but who probably entertain
the idea that in your attentions to
them you mean more than to while
away your time in gossip. Yes,
in this bachelor life of yours you
rid yourself of a great many cares,
too.
But are you living? Is it living
to spend your life at hotel or to
gayly pass your evenings at the
clubf Is it living to go on through
life and not to know the JOY of a
home of your own? Is it living
to have no wife and children in
whom to find daily happiness?
WHERE HAPPINESS Is FOUND.
What's that? Marriage is Il
failure" Lots of divorces" you
say? Pardon me, marriage is not
failure. I challenge any man to
show that it is. Statistics contra
diet it. Happy homes give it the
lie. Marriage is one of the great
est of successes. 1t can be said
without fear of successful contra
diction that the majority of married
people get more joy out of their
married life than they do from
anything else on earth. Marriage
failure! By no means. Far,
very far, from it. You bachelors
notice particularly.the divorce cases
of which you read, you select the
articles written against marriage,
and as support to your argument
against the married life you point
out those homes in which there is
unhappiness. But you are in the
wrong. You can as truly say that
a web of cloth is a failure because
of one broken thread somewhere
in its long stretch OF yards as to
say that these exceptional cases of
unhappiness and divorce prove that
