MARRIAGE IS BEST.

Statistics covering a loag period end te prove that married people live longer .han those who are not married. To this has more recently beer. a@deI the fact that married people are less often in legal diff ficuty. which all gees to prove hat man is more healthy and more m raj if he is under the influence of a home of his own.
 In line with this idea comes re- Bort from Denver, which shows that during the year 1913 there were 13,473 people booked at the city jail, and f that number 10,106 were single and only 2,767 were married. In other words, only one person out of every five who were arrested ia Denver last year ? as married
 There are other things that go t prove, als that a normal ex' x'steHce is the most perfect in every way. Marriage is the normal sate for ci- vilzed human beings. and the man or woman who has existed a life time without a suitable mate, has never known a perfect existence or the that good home breeds.

 There are those, it is true, who would not mention the name of Tom McGowan in the same breath with such attorneys as Abraham Lincoln who consistently refused to sell his legal services to protect crime Ii is true. also, that Tom McGowan was trained in political circus when he served as a 'flunkey'' years ago for a San Francisco boss. and that he is a past master in the art If disruntino nc1itical meetings tc

WHY GO TO WASHINGTON?

Two thousand unemp'oTed men have left San Francisco on long march across the continent to tell President Wilson that they neel rk From telegfaphic dispatches, it seems tha, the army is some
 hing on he rier of the CoHe" arm that made a similar effort a number of years ago. only to dishand win ro definite results.
 If President Wilson had il within his power 10 provide the men with work. there would be some excuse for the undertaking, but the Pres
 'ent of the United States is no hold er of the keys to the treasury and wi bout the aid of congress can q nothing 10 relieve the want of the men.
 The labor situation that has been fpreyaiGng in the big cities for q long time is really deplorable, for men must live and many Of them must supper. families. The c ndi- ton was partially the result O the financial depression that seems to have been brought on by Wall street 70 discourage the nation in an fu ure attempt to elect a Democrats administration. It was to ffset this that the currency bill was passed and h., the time the latter iS f0 fn' operation, it can be expected to i'm arove conditions materially.
 But the situation in San Francisco s not wholly the result of the financial depression f the Unite7 Sta es. San Francisco is speqdin@ about Sl7000,000 in building q bic vorld's fair, and the class of men ho are rever satisfied with con ditions at home have been attracted 10 the Bay city with the idea that there would be plenty of w1rk there at big wages They overcroWdea the labor market, and now they want the government to come 10 their aid
 These unemployed men have been haneing around San Francisco for several m nths, many of them m2k- ing no effort to get away from there into the rural districts where thero would be more possibility of secur ing work, or at least get enough to do to live until times improve. Their march to Washington can hardly be expected to receive much popular commendation, for it's evident use lessness condemns it.

Let Us see what reason he two daily raaers, the Times in particular, had for is strenuous effor.s to Giscredit tae meeting and the owner of this laper.
 A few weeks ago The Ciizen took unon itself the task Of trying to find ort for rhe benefit of the Loo de rosi'ors i1 the Washington-Alaska tank he reason, if there was any, why the s5l ,000 ia the hands of the receiver, F. G. Moves, was not be- ing distributed among the deposit ors, one of whom is the. owner of this paper.
 In a spirit of absolute fairness The Citizen appealed to Mr. Moves himself, explaining that it would Ike a statement from him He re- fused to make any statement, but through the Times, which he owns. he questioned this newspapers good faith, but refused to make any of the explanations asked. This ap- parently underhand piece of work on the part of Moves in refusing 0 talk personally and then using his newspaper to discredit the effort made to find out that which was of vital interest to he people who are paying his salary, precipitated ] fight by The Citizen for his removal on the grounds of his incompetence.
 When The Citizen published the contents of petition signed by more than 100 depositors in the Washington-Alaska bank, asking for the removal of Moves, the News Miner "butted" into the fight in an effort 10 whitewash the receiver.
