THE BAD, BAD BACHELOR.

Among the many bad things that DR..
E. Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of
the University of Nebraska, has found
in our social system, one of the worst
is the bachelor. He told the summer
school of the University of Chicago
the other day that bachelors are moral
degenerates, from whom come most
of the sin and shame of the world. -
They are lacking in mental and ply
steal poise," he declared. Providence
intended that man and woman should
marry. The world was made for the
family, and not for the individual. "
Still it must be admitted that the I'M
trammelled individual sees a good deal
of it. THE unmarried individual of
manageable age" the doctor contin-
ued, has no place in society nor in the
scheme of the universe. individuals
who do not form legal ties with the
opposite sex will form illegal ones, and
the world doesn't want that kind. The
great men and women of the world
the ones whose lives were symmetri-
cal and whose works were best for
posterity-have been married"
That is a severe arraignment. There
is very considerable proportion of
our adult population unmarried, and
it has heretofore been considered quite
respectable. We have not only bach
elor men but bachelor girls, the lat
ter in increasing numbers. A good
many of these latter are engaged in
teaching school, and many of them
heard DR.. Andrews arraignment of their
bachelorhood, no doubt with amaze
ment. 1t might have occurred to some
Of the doctors hearers to quote to him
the words of St. Paul. who certainly
deserves credit for good work for pos
terity, as follows: Il say therefore
unto the unmarried and the widows, it
is good for them if they abide even as
1. ." Art thou loosed from a wife ?
seek not a wife. " - He that is unmar-
ried careth for the things that belong
to the Lord, how he may please the
Lord; but he that is married careth
for the things of the world, how he
may please his wife,
1t appears, therefore, that there is
something to be said in defense of the
unmarried adult. He Cor she) should
not lightly be set down as a moral
| degenerate merely because of the fact
of being unmarried. Many bachelors
of both sexes, are bachelors for ex-
cellent reasonsi the highest moral rea-
sons, into which neither DR.. Andrews
nor anyone else has the slightest right
to inquire. 1t may be readily agreed
that an ideal condition would be for
every Darby to be mated with his
Joan, but ideal conditions applying to
whole race never have been and
never will be found. Meanwhile DR..
Andrews denunciation is nothing
more than unwarranted sensationalism.

PROFITABLE UNDERWRITING

Those who were fortunate enough to
be sufficiently in the good graces of
j. Pierpont Morgan to be let into the
syndicate which underworld the securi-
ties of the United States Steel Cor
poration to the extent of $500, 900 900.
have made a very pretty profit out
of that transaction. Mention of the
profit has been made in our dispatches
several times, but it is probable that
the matter made very little impression
on the general reader for the reason
that he knew comparatively little about
the Billion Dollar Steel Trusts af-
fairs.
What actually happened is this: AS
the merger of the majority of the
great steel properties OF the country
was an experiment It was thought ad-
visable to underwrite the new seeuri-
ties 10 the extent of 5000, 600. OOO-that

Judge Jackson of West Virginia, the
Iron judge" as ne is called, has a
soft spot in his heart for women cul-
prits, says the New York Tribune.
Many of the criminal cases which he
has to dispose of are moonshiners, from
the mountains. A woman sinner"
with babe in her arms was one Of
a number before him in Charleston
once. Her story she told in her sim
pie way. To keep her babe and her
self from starvation she had made and
sold q. little liquor, but she would
never do it again. The judge let her
off with fine, suspended the impris-
onment, gave her a moral lecture in
his classical style, and said he would
not send that baby to the peniten-
tiary.
At this moment recess for luncheon
was taken, and when court reassem-
bled there was another woman with
a baby in her arms. Same result
light fine and no imprisonment. An
hour later a third woman with a baby
in her arms faced the court. The
keen blue eyes of the patriarchal jurist
now opened wide. He called his mar
shall and ordered an investigation. In
a few moments it appeared that the
same baby was doing service for all
three putative mothers.

laugh AS it was 1 had all I could do
to keep my face straight"
The women were called up. They
confessed their little game 'twixt smiles
and tears. The baby really belonged
to the first woman, and she didn't
think it would be so very wrong to
lend the child to her friends in dis
tress.
Another lecture from the judge-a
terrible roarer, which frightened the
wretched women half out of their
senses-and then all three were let off
with promises to give over 'licit still
ing and the borrowing of babes for
the purpose of defeating justice.
THE joke of the thing was irresisti-

sense of humor, land, besides, had

A Joke Pat Couldn't Stand.

At a recent cornerstone laying in a
provincial town, says the Scotsman,
the stone was swinging in the grasp
of a powerful crane above the hole
left for it to fit in. Down in the hole
an Irishman was fussing about with a
bed of mortar. Suddenly a portion of
the tackle slipped. and down came the
stone with a run. 1t lit on the Irish
mans back, and everybody expected
to see him flattened out as thin as pa
per when the stone was lifted half a
minute later.
NO sooner was the stone clear of the
hole, though, than the man sprang UP
like a jack-in-the-box. 1t bad merely
touched him, then stuck. He was COW
cred in mortar from head to foot, and
was coughing, sneezing and splitting.
TO get it out of his nose and mouth
AS soon as he could speak he address,
ed the men managing the crane:
Here, now! Here, now!" he yelled
"Oi can stand a joke as we'll as any
man. but any of yees can have me job
after thot."
And he put on his coat and went
away. under the impression that the
highly respectable assemblage had
played joke upon him.

A TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY,

The thought is thrown out in New
York dispatches by some of the leading
Wall street men that the consolida-
ton of the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph Companies is inevitable. In
fact. they look for the consolidation
to take place in the near future. The
reason they give for their opinion does
not seem to be very good one. 1t
is that the man who built up the Pos
tai and made it the profitable proper
ty it is, has passed away, and that
there does not seem to be any one to
take his place-that is, any one who
is anxious to maintain the Postal as
a separate institution.
1t is well understood of course that
John w. Mackay took the Postal when
1t was in debt and struggling for ex-
istehce and built it up to what it is.
but may not his son, who is to succeed
him in all of his enterprises, have an
ambition in connection with the Pos
tai just as his father had? And if
young Mr.. Mackay has no ambition in
that direction may not there be a direc-
tor or large stakeholder of the com
pany who will come to the front and
undertake to maintain it as a separate
property?
No doubt money could be saved in
operating expenses by merging the
two telegraph properties into one great
trust-a monopoly-and no surprise
would be caused if that were done, but
such merger would undoubtedly en-
counter the opposition of a strong pub
lie sentiment. Under Mr.. Mackay's
management the Postal was agrees
sively independent. He took a great
pride in the property, and was con-
stantly doing something for its i'm
provement. 1t would be hard to find
man who would take the same pride
in it that he did.
If the properties were to be CONSOLE
Dated the Pennsylvania Railway would
have to go to the Goulds again for
telegraph service. Only recently that
railway system forced the Western I'm
ion from all OF its lines and gave its
business TO the Postal. This was done it
was alleged, because the Goulds were
cutting into the Pennsylvanias terri
tory with their railway system. II
would be hard lines for the proud
Pennsylvania to have TO contribute to
the prosperity Of the Goulds by taking
the Western Union service.

II appears, according to the Wash
ington correspondence of the Philadel-
phia Ledger, that there was a shrewd
piece of political work behind the sp-
pointment of Judge Holmes of Massa-
chuetts to the United States Supreme
Bench; and Senator Lodge pulled the
wires. for his own benefit. For some
time, according to the information
there has been a growing anti-Lodge
sentiment in the Bay state, which
threatened to become strong enough to
defeat the junior senator's reelection.
The fault found with Senator Lodge
is his tendency towards bossism. The
antiLodge forces had about conferred
upon Judge Holmes as their candi-
date; this, however, without his knowl-
edge. The time was not ripe for Sc
curing his consent to make the race,
when Senator Lodge ascertained what
was going on-and laid his plans. He
intimated to the President that Judge
Holmes would be fine man to grace
the Supreme Bench, but did it in such
subtle manner as to send the Presi-
dent to Senator Hoar and make it ap-
pear that the suggestion had come
from the senior senator. The idea
proved popular, and there seems to be
no doubt anywhere than a learned,
able and upright Judge has been added
to the bench. Meanwhile the fact re-
mains that a dangerous opponent has
been removed from Senator Lodges
path. 1t was smooth piece of politi-
cal work

THE LOGICAL NOMINEE.

The chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee. Mr.. Grigg.
if New York dispatches do not do him
an injustice, has put himself on rec
ord as saying that Mr.. Edward M.
Shepard of the borough of BROOKLYN.
New York City, is the logical candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for President in 1904. In the course
of a conversation at the Hoffman
House on last Thursday night he said
Il regard Mr.. Shepard as one of the
ablest and strongest of our national
leaders. I consider him as the most
promising in connection with the flu
ture leadership Of the party. 1 regard
him as most likely man for the Dem
ocratic nomination in 1904"
Mr.. Shepard is undoubtedly a man
of ability and high character, and is
well thought of by Democrats in all
parts of the country, but will
not the fact that he failed to carry
the Democratic city of New York in
the last municipal campaign, as the
Democratic candidate for Mayor, be
sufficient to prevent him from reach
ing the high position Mr. Griggs APP
pears to have chosen for him? Mr.
Griggs may not have said quite all
the newspapers make him say or he
may have said more than he intended
to say in Mr.. Shepards behalf. The
fact that he was in Mr.. Shepard's city
and was probably looking for campaign
funds when he said the nice things
about Mr.. Shepard ought to be taken
into account. Mr.. Shepard may be
the coming Democratic leader, but If
so the signs have not yet attracted
much attention.

1t is explained that Mr. Charles
Fair came to his death as a result of
his speed madness" He wished to
drive his automobile at the speed of
the wind, or even faster. A moderate
gait would not do for him. His car
must go like an express train. or he
was not happy. The fate of his ma
chine, and himself, may be called a
logical result. A pneumatic tire sud
denly collapsed, the machine became
unmanageable and the terrible trag-
edy followed almost as quickly as
thought. There is a lesson in the in
cident for all automobilists. 1t seems
Mr.. Fair had been warned by his
chauffeur that the tire was defective
but he gave little or no attention to it
The lesson, of, course, is that all rid
ers in automobiles should avoid the
speed madness" as they would the
plague, and that after each stop there
should be full assurance had that ev-
cry part of the machine is in perfect
order.
