Cost of Being a Bachelor.

live at Columbia, No, seat OF the
state university and the so-called
athens OF the West" This tax was
imposed by the city council.
There are about one hundred and
twenty bachelors at Columbia, in
Guiding professors at the university.
Among these professors is DR.. W. B.
Elkins, promulgstor OF a new theory
OF the simple lie.
Others included In the ban are lead.
ing business men who have as yet
not been sincerely attached TO any
Missouri beauty. They range in age
from thirty TO fifty years, many oil
them are handsome, wealthy, and
live In fine homes, employing men
Tor housekeepers.
There has been no little indigna'
tion among the unmarried girls OF
Columbia because OF the action-or
inaction OF these bachelors. The
girls think the men have been DELHI.
erately evsding them recently, per.
haps because il is leap year.
Several fair young msidens OF the
town are accused OF having gone be.
fore the town council and lobbied
the bachelor tax through. One or
two members OF the city council have
pretty unmarried daughters, and Is
was noticed shat they voted with
great iervor when the bill came up
for passage,

There are ten dezeH- bachelors In Co

are twenty dozen fine, handsome,
frugal young women here OF marri-
ageable age. None OF those that
would suit me seem to be suited with
me, for | would be glad to marry ii |
could find the right woman. Many
OF my bachelor friends would do like

DR.. Eiklns recently published,
through the Chicago university, a
treatise on the future, from a psy.
Geological standpoint. He says that
not more than fifty years from now
every man and woman on reaching
twenty-one years of age will find a
mate. |! they are mentally or physic-
ally incapacitated for marriage they
should be condemned by board Of
inquiry to remain single.
The main reason the tax on bach.

treasury. The five.mile law, as It is
called, which compels the closing OF
all saloons within FIVE miles OF a
state educational institution, forced
all "joints" out of Columbia recently
The city council decided to tax al
occupations, and upon request OF a
bevy OF fair young women was per.
suaded to tax bachelors. So fal
none OF the bachelors has succumbed
to marriage to evade the taxes.

John B. Lennon treasurer of the
American Federation OF Labor, in an
address at Kansas City, said:
"The Presbyterian church is the first
church organization that has officially
recognized the pressing and growing
Importance of the labor movement by
establishing a department to bring
about better understanding between
the organized church and organized la

THE wageworkers, seeing no inter-

In the church in the human side of the
religious question, have naturally drift

extent
II am constrained to believe that they
are not going back in large numbers
until the church will emphasize just as
strongly the human side of the religion
Of Jesus Christ as they do the spiritual
side.

Ing an Injunction issued by the district
court of Yellowstone county restrain
ing the Montana Federation of Labor
aud others from interfering with the
business OF a wholesale fruit firm OF
Helena
The opinion of the supreme court
was unanimous and is regarded by
labor leaders as a notable victory,
which, they declare, will mark the end
Of anti-boycott injunctions in Montana
so far as the state courts are concerned.
The Federation OF Labor had spread
broadcast circular declaring the fruit
firm unfair" and urging all union
labor sympathizers to withhold their
patronage
The district court of Yellowstone
county enjoined the federation from In
terfering with the business Of the firm,
and an appeal was taken to the su.
preme court.
The supreme court holds that the in
junction could not be justified by any
possible state Of facts and that it is
not unlawful for labor unions to with
draw their patronage from the firm,
as 1t had no property right in its trade.
The opinion further declares that If
an individual. acting alone, has GER
tain right he does not lose that right
merely by acting with others having
similar rights as individuals.
The opinion concludes with the state
ment that labor unions may not be en-
joined from instltuting and continuing
a boycott so long as the means en-
ployed to make 1t effective are not in
themselves Illegal.
