WHY WOMEN STAY SINGLE.

Not Disinclination. Says One, but
Economic Conditions.
A Brooklyn woman writes to the New
York Tribune:
why do SO many American girls of
the middle class remain unmarried or
marry late In life7' This question was
asked by an observing foreigner who
had been visiting some Of the large
cities Of the eastern states.
100 independent, I suppose" was
the rather careless reply of the man
to whom the question was addressed.
What libel on the good sense and
womanly nature of our girls! They
are not celibates from cboice-their
home milking instincts are Just as
strong us are those of any other ma
tion-necessity is In most cases the
whip which drives them to the factory,
the store, the office, the schoolroom.
At the present time many forces con-
spire to shift the burden of the family
support on the shoulders Of the daugh-
ters Of the house, the insecurity Of the
salaried mans position In the present
rage for young blood" the bankruptcy
of the small dealer whose business has
been absorbed by the large department
stores, the nervous collapse Of SO many
Of the breadwinners caused by the In
tense mental strain under which they
labor to compete with the opposing
forces which are wrestling with them
for position, practice or trade.
1t has been comparatively easy for
girl to secure position where no spe-
cial preparation Is necessary for ell
gibillty II she were willing to accept
the remuneration offered by too Of
ten constituencies employer. This &C.
ceptance practically forces men out
Of these ranks and fills their placer
with cheap labor, which condition re-
acts upon the commonwealth, as fewer
men are able to assume the RESPONSE
bil1ties of husband and father. How
much better II in all cases where men
and women are employed the remuner
alton were decided by the work rather
than by the sex Of the person perform
Ing the work. There would then be no
temptation to employ women unless
their work was as good or better than
that Of men, Merit alone would de-
eide whether our stores, offices and
schoolrooms should be dominated by
men or by women.

cent morning meeting Of the Presby-
terrain minister's at PIttsburg said, ac-
cording to the New York World: 1.-The
churches Of some of our millionaires
and newly rich are nothing more than
smart set clubs. There Is entirely too
much snobbishness, and 1t is not con-
fined to the congregations either. Some
Of the ministers claim that they need
the large salaries to keep their families
and that they have to dress nicely.
Perhaps God did not intend that all
ministers should have been minister's.

II. G. Bliss Of Council Bluffs, Mailed
Letter at Beatrice, Neb.


Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs Feb. PHI. G. Bliss,
travelling salesman for the Pioneer I'm
plement Company Of this city, mailed
a letter at Beatrice, Neb., containing
IA draft and notes aggregating over ST.
900 which never reached the firm to
whom it was addressed.
The company reported its loss to the
federal government and couple of Sc
cret service men have been working on
the matter for some time with no re-
suit. The company managed to Sc
cure duplicates of the papers and thus
saved itself from loss, but is still anx-
ious to locate the letter IL possible.
Bliss mailed the letter in the Pad
dock hotel at Beatrice, placing it in a
letter box in the hotel lobby. His
theory of the disappearance is that the
letter was dropped by the mail carrier
and was picked up and retained by
some one. This is, however, indignant
ly denied by the carrier on the route
and the postoffice officials have no
knowledge of the letter having passed
thru the office.
If the federal authorities have any
theory they have not disclosed it.

that depositions are being taken In a

of British Columbia where the COM

was before Chief Justice S. NJ. Weaver
Of the Iowa supreme court.
The supposition is that a trial is be-
