as have kept company with num-
bers of women with the hope of
finding my life companion, and SO
far / have never found the right
one.
1t is useless for a man to mar
ry a woman who does not see
things, at least most things, as the
man sees them-that is, to agree
with other in all things as near as
possible, SO there will be harmony
and peace for both; also to love
each other and share life together
as man and wife should. Why
should a man marry woman
that loved him If he could not
learn to give love in return. Such
a marriage, in my mind, would be
worse than murder for both and
a scourge to any children brought
into the world by such a union.
Only true love counts for any
thing in happy married life
Without love all is lost.
Hoping you will find space in
your valuable paper to print
this letter, l remain,
Yours sincerely,
AN OLD BACHELOR.

Editor of the Times:
In regards to why is a bache-
lor: / agree with M. X. c., who
wrote in the Times Saturday 81
that it is hard to get acquainted
in large cities, and for myself am
a bachelor, but that is no fault
of mine. 1 was engaged to a
young girl once, but she changed
her mind, as she said she did not
think we could live happily, and
l have lost out two times after,
SO If a man tries to get married
and cannot, how is he going to
become anything but a bachelor
And as far as most bachelors are
buns or hoboes, i don't agree on
that at all. There are just as
many good, Woodworking bache-
Tors as there are married men.
How often does young girl wish
to marry an old bach? And most
of the old maids think they are
too old and don't even try to look
for their affinity-and you will
find just as many old maids as
bachelors, so one is no more to
blame than the other, and to help
some old maid or anyone that is
afraid of so being. all she has to
do is to send her address to the
Times office and she will soon re-
ceive an early reply, and l think
liz the editor of the Times would
allow a space in the paper for ad-
dresses of those wishing to cor
respond for what may follow 1t
would be great thing for old
maids and bachelors.

Tacoma, May "a, 1910.

Editor Times:
Dear Sir-I have been reading
the letters in the Times, why Is
a Bachelor" and as l am a bache-
lor of good habits and a total alb
stainer and true believer in the
gentler sex, woman, and also have
a kind word for and respect all
decent women, I do not under
stand why I should be considered
a bum or a crank, as some of the
writer's express 1t, as being a name
suitable for all bachelors.
Now l can and do honestly be-
lieve that such statements as the
above are made by one who has a
mistaken idea of the bachelor,
and l think bachelors should be
classed according to their dispo-
sitions, from both a moral and
temepramental standpoint. My
being an old bachelor is no fault
] of my own as far as 1 can discern,

Bachelors Answer
Why Is a Bachelor?

why is a bachelor" the ques.
tion which has been puzzline
Times readers for several weeks
answered today by bachelors
themselves.
When they (the women and
girls) are ready to try and make 9
happy home shared with a work
ing man, then there will be fewer
bachelors and many more happy
married men and women"
That is the answer sent in BY
a bachelor. 1t answers the ques
ton, but 1t throws the blame up
on the gentler sex.

Editor of the Times:

No certain code can possibly
cover all the ground necessary
to answer this problem. Let each
and every one answer it from the
standpoint of his own experience.
The reasons for this condition OF
singleness among men are as nu-
merous as the stars in heaven
The hobo does not enter into the
question at all, but is a problem
unto himself. BACHELOR.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-05-25
Why is a bachelor?

For one reason he has not much
chance to get acquainted where
it's everyone for themselves. He
knows not whom to ask to share
his lot. When the women and
girls take a tumble and not wait
for leap years to let the bache-
Tors know, when they are willing
to try and make a happy home
shared with a workingman, there
will be fewer bachelors and
more happy married men and
women. A BACHELOR.

LEE CRUCE IN
WASH|TA COUNTY
MUCH ENTHUSIASM DISPLAYED
HERRING FOLLOWERS NOW FOR
CRUCE.

Hobart, Okla, June 14.-'Lee Cruce
spoke in Lone Wolf, Kiowa county
early this afternoon to an enthusiastic
crowd of over 200, consisting chiefly
of farmers. At this town f. Il. Herring
had his strength in this county. and
since his withdrawal his followers
have turned to Cruce as the logical
candidate to defeat the republicans III
November.
After his speech at Lone Wolf, Mr..
Cruce went to Sentinel, In the south
edge of Washita county, where he ad-
dressed a crowd of 400. His reception
at Sentinel was warm, and if II can
be taken as a criterion of the senti-
ment of the whole county, Wasnita
will not miss but little of being the
banner Cruce county.
At Sentinel large delegation from
Rocky, a station on the Frisco north
of Hobart, met Mr. Cruce and escorted
him to their town, where he spoke to-
night to the third audience of the day.
In Rocky. as well as at Lone Wolf, MIR.
Herring had scattering vote, which
is now for Cruce.

better half.
It's in the nature of a goodbye tes-

wants possession of his restaurant,
which at present is refused him At the
point of gun of' immense calibre,
and he wants a guaranty that his
wife will take her departure for other
clmes where she will no longer mo-

Such thing as an official decree
of divorce is not considered by Lem.
He just wants her to vamoose, to
git" to separate herself from his
proximity by as many miles as a rail
road ticket will carry her Judge
Owens is good naturedly assisting in
the disentanglement of this matrimon-

warning to others who by chance are
