said, There is no truth what

deal Of bullying from smaller men before he will
make demonstration Of hostility. The same thing
is true OF nations. 1t was our readiness for right

to the weak lacteal pabulum advocated by Miss
Meade. We need not be a nation Of fighters to be a

1t is gratifying to record that Miss Meade was
followed by Mrs Flo. Jamison Miller Of the WON

the singing of patriotic songs, and this sentiment
was loudly applauded by the delegates. American
women are not ready to believe that because we

course, this has been known unof1caly for a long
time, but to have it stated a tabulated conclusion
from the census bureau making it agressively au-
thentic. The figures show-the reports not the
widOws'-that the average widow receives more at
tentiOn from men than do the maidens, and there
fore has the greater expectancy Of marriage. Be-
sides these advantages she has lot more fun than
her unmatsd sister and lives longer.
There is one point that is not made clear by the
presiac statistican who ends his report just where
he should begin. What gives the widow her over
powering attractivenessl What are the secrets of
her wiles that she can twist bachelors around her
fDgers and cause married men to 60 nearly blind
with the goo gOOsi II the census man had really
desired to do something that would be Of value to
the country at large why didn't he tell all about
widowsi
Another point in the report that ia interesting ana
that should have great weight in dispelling the
deep-seated and unmerited prejudice against bache
lors, is that there are only ninety eight women to
every 100 men in the United States Thus the
bachelor has ah excuse for being. He is q necessa-
ry evil. He couldn't get married If he wanted to-.
he is more to be pited than scOrned Il is true that
there are still many spinsters to 60 down life's
pathway alone and die in single blessedness but
even II every Of these was bride the fatal two
in hundred men would be social Outcasts It ie
probable that as the government has not established
the statistical status Of the bachelor the growing
agitation for tax upon the unmarried man will
cease The facts are that the bachelor has been
much prosecuted and maligned person. he has
been pursued by tax collectors, Tilted by maidens,
scerned by benedcts and his childlike simplicity
yielding generosity, unfailing good nature, eepea
ally with children and babies, and his generally
sweet disposition have rendered him all the more
easily imposed upon. As he has been Vindicated
by the government he should now be the subject Of

SINGING OF "WARLIKE SONGS.

HE fever OF reform has struck the
9.E member OF the National Council of
rEAEA Women and struck it hard. The
= fk5SxN devoted women, who are emphatic
ally in earnest and deeply sincere
Ze1AAN in their ambition to make the world
-<@ better and more lovely place to
S@% live j n have advocated many
social, political industrial and economic innova-
tOns in the hope Of correcting Of the evils that
mar our civilization But among the suggestions
ofreorms there are some that will strike the average
man and woman as puerile and unworthy.
At the annual meeting Of the council the other
day Miss Lucia Ames Meade; Of Massachusetts,, de-
cared that international dueling or armed peace as
she termed it, was sapping the the economic life Of
the present day. Previous to this observation the
Rev. Anna Shaw had urged the teaching Of boys and
girls to love peace instead Of fighting. Miss Meade
Insisted that American manhood would be developed
By not allowing our boys to sing 'sThe Army and
Navy Forever" Theorized upon the evil Of permit
ting the young Of our land to consider fighting for
ones country honorable. According to this re-
former, "Marchng Through Dixie is iniquitous ad

60 into detail as to the songs she would expuTge

thing almost alarming. In this age more than in
any preceding age wealth means power, offensive
power in war as we'll as financial power in peace,
business is king. Industry, commerce and finance
OvershadOw and dwarf all other interests This
fact is more striking now than at any other time
during the last generation. As a result OF this
Prof Brice notes that the fnancer and manuiactur-
er have become more important, and the land own
er, the professional man and the man with the let
ters less important. One illustration of this struck
him as something new. We quote what he says:
"Lawyers now are to a greater extent than for
mally business men, a part of the great organized
system OF industrial and financial enterprise. They
are less than formerly the students OF a particular
kind Of learning, the practitioners OF p particular
art. And they do not seem to be quite so much Of
distinct professional class. Some one seventy
years ago called them the aristOracy of the United
States meaning that they led public opinion in the
same way as the aristOcracy OF England led opinion
there But one is told that they do not take keen
an interest in purely legal and constitutional ques
Ous as they did in the days Of Story and Webster,
o. even in those of Of William M. EVarts and
Charles OCOnOr Business is king"
In other words, according to Mr. Bryce our law
yers have become simply part Of a great business
machine. They have become mere 'industria
units" it instead OF applying their learning
and talents to the presentation OF fundamental
principles aud the discussion OF great constitutional
questions they have put their abilities into the ser
vice of the business corporations Of the country
and have become merely parts OF the fnancia
mechanism Of the time.
