CHICAGO women are appealing to the
Legislature to pass law providing
some way that will distinguish a mar
ried man from a single man as Miss
and Mrs" show the social relations
Of women. They do not suggest a IT,
tie, leaving that to the inventive gen
Jus Of the solons. As there Is no law
providing the titles Of Miss, p" Mrs. y
or "Mr.." legislation on the subject
will be in the initiative. The Legisla-
ture of Illinois can do great deal. but
il NAV be doubted whether 1t could Sc
curely attach to unmarried men title
that would indicate their celibacy. IL
might be more easy for the law to re-
duire all married men to wear badge
for the information of the young wo-
men of Illinois, or perhaps a collar
would be more appropriate to show
their condition of servitude. The sub
ject is a deep and important one and its
solution by the law makers of the Gar
den State will be look ed forward to
with interest. Chicago men at least
should have their social condition desig-
mated in some way.

PUBLIC sentiment Is dead down on po-
litical bribery and that means that II
has got to stop. A bank president in
Pittsburg has been convicted Of giving
a councilman sl5.7Oo to procure The
passage Of an ordinance making his
bank depository for city funds. Only
a few weeks ago u railroad president
was convicted Of offering $4,000 to a
Pittsburg councilman to procure fran
chise for his company. The peniten-
tiary is a lamentable end for eminently
respectable business men to reach, but
political bribery has got to be stopped.
The man who gives bride is as bad as
the one who takes it. and the vicious
practice can only be stopped by maxi
ing it too hazardous to demand black
mail or to offer corruption money.
