TaxInd Unmarried Men.

A bill has been introduced Ia the Ter
ritoriai Legislature Of New Mexico pro-
yiding for the taxing Of unmarried men,
the money 80 obtained to be DEVOTED to
the support Of the unmarried women
1t is proposed to require bachelors
between the ages Of % and As years to
pay IN annual tax Of $40, while widow
ers between those ages are to pay $35.
1t Ia a rather curious fact that tn. wo-
men Of New Mexico, greatly outnumber
the men. 1t has been the rule In all the
Far Western States and Territories that
the men ontnnmbered the women. hat
In New Mexico, by the census Of 1900,
three-fftbs Of the population were To-
males and two ffths m les.
1t is not likaly that the proposed bill
will become a law, but 1t would do good
II 1t would force the men to marry the
worthy women, but on the other hand,
il IL should result In causing the un-
married men to fee the country, it
would do harm. Compulsory laws to
regulate social relations are perhaps all
unwise. Such matters are best regu-
lated by social customs and individual
tastes. N. o. Picayune.

You cant always tell, says an ~

determined to commit suicide. He went
to the store and bought a rope,'s can OF
coal oil, a boz OF matches a dose OF ar
senie and q revolyer-he went down to
the river and pushed the boat from the
shore and waded to where a limb hung
over, saturated MS clothing with the
coal oil, lighted a match and set fire to
his clothing, took the dose OF arsenic, put
the muzzle OF the revolver to his temple,
pushed the boat from under him and
pulled the trigger. But the bullet
glanced and'cu the rope above him and
he fell kerflop into the river; the water
put the fire out and he got strangled
and coughed up the arsenic. He rose
and waded out, and declared himself
a candidate for the legislature on the

SENATE INVESTIGATES
RACE TRACK GAMBLING
Gambler Tells National SoIons
How to Stop Betting.
BETTOR HAS SMALL CHANGE
Big Delegation Of Refcrmers Visit SEN.
ate Judiciary COMMITTEES in Support
Of Burkett Bill.

Washington, p. C.-Wtth a support
ing cast OF reformers galore both
male and female, Henry Brolaski, OF
MOnrovia, Cal, who protested to be
q gambler upon race tracks, was the
star feature Of hearing before the
senate judiciary committee In support
of the Burkett bill to prohibit the
transmission OF race track betting
odds over telegraph or telephone
lines.
Mr.. Brolaskf gave details Of the
gamblers life and showed the poor
chance OF returns for money invest
cd which Is given TO the gambling
public. He was one OF the owners OF
a Mexican track which was put out
of business at the instance OF the
department Of state through cooper
alton with the Mexican government
He is now seeking to have tracks, in
which he has no interest, dealt with
in like manner.
Brolaski said he had worked in his
line In st. Louis, Chicago, Worth,
Roby, Atlanta, Charleston, s. G., New
Orleans, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
I4atonia, Louisville and Bcnnings
tracks and had had twenty-one years
experience. He roughly estimated
that there were now in the United
States between sixty and seventy pool
rooms. He calculated that there were
in operation nearly 100000 hand
books. He said that in New York
city there were at least 100000 hand
books and pool room players and that
the evil was growing daily.
Pointing out the poor chance given
the bettor for return OF any part
OF his wager, the witness said that
In a pool room the percentage against
the player would run from rs to 15O
per cent and in handbook the per-
centage was from 5 to is per cent.
Common sense will tell you that
from s per cent up will eat up any
mans capital II taken out six times
q day" he declared.
There is only one MEANS" said
Mr.: Brolaski, "of putting this eyi.
out OF business effectually, and that
is by the United States government,
enacting a law prohibiting the trans
mission ofapool room and race track
information over telegraph or tele-
phone wires and prohibiting the use
Of the mails to newspapers that pub
lish race track prices or results.

SOUTHERN BOYS REWARDED.
Diplomas OF Merit Awarded for Agrl-
cultural Proficiency.


Washington, .. c. - Diplomas OF
merit were presented by Secretary
Wilson In his office at the department
agriculture to Bascomb Usher OF
South Carolina: Dewitt Lundy of
mississippi; Elmer Halter Of Arkan-
sas and Ralph Bellwood OF Virginia,
all under 18 years, for special prof.
cheney in agricultural pursuits. The
recipients are among the 1850 en-
gagged in the boys demonstration
work Id the south. Each planted one
acre OF corn and cultivated it under
instructions from the department of
agriculture. DIR. G. G. Knapp, who
has charge OF the park demonstration
work in the south, offered trip to
Washington to the boy in Mississippi
who should obtain the best results.
The state Bankers Association of Ar
kansas offered similar reward in
that state, while citizens OF Virginia
and South Carolina duplicated the Of
fers in those states.
Thousands OF dollars of prizes were
awarded this year throughout the
south, the basis of the awards being
the profits, written records, exhibits
OF products and yield per acre.
ALI southern states are making ar
rangements to send the prize winners
Ia washington next year
In a brief address to the boys, Sec.
retaiy Wilson declared that they and
the boys engaged in like work are
sthe only hope we have for the con-
tKnued greatness and prosperity OF the
country"
He pointed out that the south now,
ID agriculture and manufacture, was
prosperous as never before, because
the men and women OF the south had
nut into the work their own energy
and ability, and, in mo sense, we're de-
pendent upon the capital or the in
dustry of the people from other parts
OF the country.
"'These diplomas, he continued, are
unique. No boys ever have received
4 similar recognition OF their merit.
Nothing have done since have been
secretary Of agriculture has given me
more pleasure than to present them to
you. You have earned them. You
have begun right.
