BACHELORS ARE ASsAILED,
Fashionable Paris Much Interested
in Mgr. Bolo's Lectures.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS. April 13-Fashionable Paris
is following with intense interest the
lectures Of Mgr. Bolo at the Sale
Gaveau on the risks Of marriage. The
subject is a thrilling one. judging from
the way the lecture hall is crowded, and
hours before the lecture begins no more
seats are to be had. Mgr. Bolo Is the
Father Vaughan Of France.
Dealing with marriage and its risks,
Mgr. Bolo makes terrific onslaught on
willful bachelors. and the young women
like to hear them. He tells bachelors
just what the young women think Of
them. and says It fearlessly from behind
a desk in a quiet lecture room. A bach
elor is one-quarter wise and three-Quar-
tiers a coward. he has no faith in mar
rage because he has no longer faith In
anything except his own selfishness. He
is opposed to marriage until he sees a
profit in 1t.
In q lecture on divorce the speaker did
not criticise 1t so much as he criticised
the apologists of divorce.

Washington's Remuneration.

George Harvey, in the North American Review.
The browning glory Of George Wash
ington was remuneration. Twice he had
President of the new republic. A third
election required only his silent acqui-
essence. Abroad he was regarded as. q
chief magistrate installed for life-a con-
stitutional king in all but name. De-
mocracy meant no more than the familiar
dominance OF ruler and a class in q
new form. Government by the people
continued to be a myth. Revolution had
only severed political ties. The sub
stance OF control such as held the ma
tions of Europe was to be perpetuated
on the western hemisphere. Monarchs
breathed more freely; aristocracy sneered.
Then came, like bolt from the blue, the
declaration from George Washington
that, at the expiration of his second term,
he should return to private life. It was
a calm and measured averment but def
mite and final. None questioned the Presi-
dents sincerity; none dreamed Of suggest
ing reconsideration upon public or pa
triotic grounds in time of alleged need.
words OF probity and fidelity. And his
act signalized the confirmation In fact of
the profession which had been advanced
in theory OF the perpetuation, no less
than the mere establishment, Of popular
sovereignty. 1t was a notification to all
the world of the actual beginning of the
greatest experiment In government ever
served the liberties. the prosperity and
the happiness OF q population already In.
creased thirtyfold, which has driven arbi-
trary rule out OF the western hemisphere
and which has cut the foundations from
under the tottering thrones Of Europe.
