ton OF colored men. THE riots have
been a shame to Springfield and the
press OF the country has taken fair
stand and rebuked this lawlessness
and disorder. The better element OF
both races must blush for such
crimes. A mass meeting would result
only in incorporate talk and might
stir up IA feeling here which does not
exist now and which would be diff
cult to allay.
Some colored men have criticized
the action of Gov. Dineen, OF Illinois.
In not sending the colored militia to
Springfield He did well and deserves
commentator. The appearance or
those troops would have further
aroused the rioters, and. as the col
ored troops are fighters all the way
through. there would have been 70
times the present bloodshed.

3 Bachelors.

Bachelors are cultivated In all large
cities. They live In bachelor apart
ments and bungalows. They can be
seen during the day In counting
houses and on the golf links and In
the evening at dinner parties and po'
ker games.
Bachelors at one time were easily
caught with almost any kind OF bait,
and swallowed bait, hook, sinker and
all, often at the first throw. Now.
however. they are becoming much
more wary and hide in the depths OF
their bachelor apartments or In deep
poolrooms from which they cannot be
lured.
They are gregarious In their habits,
running in schools, but they stand by
each other, and IL is very unusual TO
find a solitary one. Occasionally,
however, more foolish and overcon.
fident specimen will poke his nose
into a summer resort, when he Is
promptly landed
Bachelors are In reality the buE
wark OF the nation. BY not getting
married they do not raise families.
Families, as we know. are constantly
consuming our natural resources.
Bachelors are therefore really provid-
ing more natural resources for the
few. Their conduct. 1t will be seen,
is thus quite unselish
