Nor is the unselfish wife the pearl
without price that she is supposed to
be. 1t is not the self-abnegating
woman who help men, but the ambi-
tious ones who demand a place in the
sun and force their husbands on to
get it for them. Many man has be-
come a millionaire because he had to
hustle to supply a selfish wife with
gew-gaws.
Moreover, the unselfish wife and
mother have never the slightest in
fiuence with either husband or chill
dren. We all take other people at their
own value. and we accord to them the
treatment they demand of us. Hence,
when woman humbles herself before
her family they treat her with the con-
temptuous Indifference due to her posi-
tion.
This is why the self-abnegating
woman does more harm than good, and
why unselfshness is oftener a crime
than a virtue.

Progressive Chairmen
Vote to Await Action on
Lodge Suggestion by T. R.
BY .4ssociated Prstt

Chicago, ILL.,, June 10.-The confer
ence of the Progressive state chairmen
adjourned at 11.05 a. m. after voting
to request the Progressive convention
TO delay further action until the Re-
publican convention has opportunity
TO consider a suggestion made by
Colonel Roosevelt that Senator Lodge
be considered as compromise presi-
dental candidate.
A minority of the conference voted
for the Progressive convention to
nominate Roosevelt at once
AT O'Clock this morning George W,
Perkins, Hiram johnson and other
Progressive leaders were in close con-
ference with Chairman Robins and
there were rumoTs among the Pro-
sresslVe delegates that coup of some
KIND was in preparation, the word
having gone round TO have them in
their seats early so that the conven-
ton could meet sharp at 1890.
George w. Perkins left the confer
ence TO go 10 meeting of the Re-
publican and Progressive conferees.
All the state chairmen remained in
the conference. II was said no word
had yet come from Colonel Roose-
Welt as to whether he would accept a
Progressive nomination if the Repub-
lican convention nominated Justice
Hughes.
# AllSI DTlel conference Mr.. Per-
kins returned to the waiting state
chairmen and made a report which
was not disclosed. He indicated that
he might have another conference
with the Republican conferees.
The meeting of the state Chairmen
was somewhat stormy. Several of the
chairmen implied that Chairman Per
kins was not for Roosevelt to the last
trench. Miller, of Florida, and Parker.
of Louisiana, resented the criticism
Miller left the room, but was per-
suaded to return. Parker declined to
address the meeting.
Mr.. Perkins told them that even if
Illinois went to Hughes at the Repub-
lican convention ii would be insuf
fcient to nominate, and that he looked
for recession in the Hughes strength
on succeeding ballots.
The tide will turn to Roosevelt"
said Mr.. Perkins.
Smoot Submits Proposal
1t was understood that Senator
Smoot had submitted a proposal to the
Progressives which was placed in
writing.
While it was felt in some quarters
that the Progressive convention might
nominate Colonel Roosevelt to-day, 1t
was also believed that the nomination
of Hughes would not prove wholly
Objectionable to the Progressive lead
ers and that they might endorse him,
Colonel Roosevelt Withdrawing if he
were named.
Immediately upon the completion of
the Smoot proposal Perkins and C. ].
Bonaparte and John McGrath, secre-
tary to Colonel Roosevelt, took copy
of ii to other Progressive leaders.
The Smoot proposal involved only
the name of Justice Hughes, It was
said. No attempt has been made to
use the ce-presidential nomination in
effecting compromise.
Feeling was hopeful among Repub-
l1can leaders that the Smoot propo-
sltion would prove acceptable to the
Progressive leaders.
Second place on the ticket was held
in allegiance.

WHY BACHELORS
DO NOT MARRY
Does Not Know One Marriage
able Woman Who Loves
Children Writes One
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX
Copyright, 1916, Star Coz

Here is a letter from bachelor
who has some interesting things to
say anent marriage. It seems he read
in this column some time ago a ref
erence which he thought unfriendIy
toward bachelors. That was a mis-
taken impression on his part; but
here is what he has to say, and it
would be we'll for women. married and
single, to read it carefully:
II am nearly forty, extremely
fond of children. My Christmas bill
for dolls was over $40. My only rea-
son for wishing TO marry would he to
have a little home nest of my own,
but when | look around among the
supposedly marriageable prospects |
cannot name one who knows how to
boil an egg or instruct a servant how
to do so.
Nor do I know one who would
think enough of a home to keep
1t in order; so why marry, when
the probabilities are that it would
only be step into purgatory?
only this evening | was much
annoyed at the restaurant by the
miserable pickering of the mar
ried couple at the next table, and
when | reached my apartment and
hour by the quarreling of the
married couple in the next apart
ment.
Does Not Know One MarriagcabIc
Woman Who Loves Children
II don't know a marriageable wom-
an who loves children. though they
will often pretend to. If they think to
gain your favor by doing so.
There are fully 500 physicians in
New York who are bachelors - and
if a physician don't know what
matrimony means no one does.
Il don't happen to drink or
smoke. Barroom company ! detest,
and anything like a club life would
bore me. / want none of it while
have good books and a piano.
When man doesn't love a wom-
an, what greater injury could he
do her or himself than to marry
her? Isaac Newton, Foltaire Her
bert Spencer and a few others were
bao helors, and there are a few of
us left, so please give us credit for
being human beings, but give us a
chance to meet some woman who
has little of the home instinct and
! perhaps we would see an opportunity
to change our state"
| He who really seeks for any
thing, finds it.
The bachelor who wants to meet
women with the home instinct, If
his mind is absolutely focused in
that direction, will materialize
them and they will become visible,

they raise up the lazy, selfish, parasitic
girls, who curse the men who are un-
lucky enough to get them for wives.
Mother has a glow of self-righteousness
when she thinks of how she is Saving"
her daughters by bending over the
washtub while they are getting exer-
else in tennis court. She thinks she
is doing the part of a noble, self-sacri-
f1cing mother by working her fingers to
the bone while her girls hands are
pink and manicured, and by wearing
the cast-off clothes of the family while
her daughters are arrayed In the latest
creation from Paris.
Cnselfish Wife Little Influence
With Husband
In reality she is making of them
monsters of cold-blooded selfshness,
grafters who take what they want ire
spective of whether they have a right
to 1t or not. She is making them
greedy, and callols, and self seeking
the type of women who regard matri-
mony as nothing but meal ticket, and
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-06-10

In every village, country place, city
and metropolis, are hundreds of
young women who possess the
home making instinct and who are
waiting for some prince charming
to come along and lead them
homeward.
Meantime the best type of the
modern young woman expects
something from the man she mar
rles besides his home and his name.
She wants n man whose record
would bear investigation. whose
morals have not come into Il
state of fatty degeneration, whose
blood is pure enough to be trans
mltted into the veins of children
and whose idea of marriage is not
merely that of establishing n home
where wife will provide him with
well cooked meals on such eve
nings as he does not care to dine
at the club, but who is willing to
give comradeship and companion
shiI to the woman who bears his
name.
The opinion of physicians re-
garding marriage is not always
reliable. Quite an army of young
women of manageable age can he
found in America who have never
been under the care of physi-
clan, at least since their Group
and measles days.
The outdoor young woman is in
evidence everywhere. She is proud
of her good health. proud of her
ability to walk, swim, golf, ten
mis- and ride. When she does not
carry these accomplishments to
an extreme, she makes an excel
lent wife, mother and housekeeper.
One great reason why women in
cities do not like TO become moth
ers is because of the outrageously
unjust system of taxation which
exists in the land.
Let this bachelor put himself in
touch with the Joseph Fels Fund
Association, of Cincinnati, and OBJ
tain from that association a copy
Of Mr.. Bigelow,s address, What
Shall We DO With Our Millliou-
aires?" and he will be materially
assisting himself in an effort to es-
tahlish a home.
As a proof that women are not
Indifferent to the home, the bache-
ior should investigate the Home
Makers Guild, of Chicago. The
slogan of this society is, Home
makers are world builders"
Demands Same Recognition For Homo
Making as Other Professions
This is their object: The OBJ
shall be to claim recognition for
the home and its allied activities
as the basic foundation of all
State and national progress; to OBJ
tain for women the same recogni-
ton and honor for efficient home
making that is awarded other
skilled professions; to awaken in
legislative bodies larger sense
of justice and appreciation for
women who are engaged in home
making.
To demand that all educational
institutions incorporate into their
curriculum such fundamental teach
ings of art and science as are need
full for the creation of greater ef-
ficiency in developing the physical.
mental, moral and social life of
the home; to arrange for a series
of honor medals to be awarded to
women who have achieved special
success in any department of home
making; TO conduct such educa-
tional propaganda as conditions
may demand and TO set apart the
first Monday in October of each
year as Home Makers Day.
The membership consists of
men, women and children who be-
lieve in the object for which the
guild is organized and will work
for the high ideals which the guild
represents The bachelor should
join this organization.
