The nomination of Hon. N. p. Haul
gen, by the Republican Congressional
Convention held at Hudson last Fri
day, for a third term, was not only in
accordance with a well established GUS
tom. but just and proper recognition
of the recognized ability of that dis
tinquished gentleman as well as of the
fidelity with which he has discharged
the duties devolving upon him as a
Representative of this large district in
the lower house of the Nationa. law
making power. Mr.. Haugen has built
up for himself a name and fame of
which any one may well feel proud,
and an approving constituency has re-
repeatedly given assurance of a due
appreciation of his services. Nothing
which we might say can add to his
popularity Oh give increased weight to
the splendid record he has already
made. He is known personally to
hundreds of our readers and all are
familiar with his public services. We
congratulate Mr.. Haugen upon his
possession of the confidence of the
perple OF the district, and also the
people upon the wisdom shown in
manifesting a desire to avail them
selves for another term of the SER
vices of so faithful public servant as
Mr.. Haugen has abundantly proven
himself to be.

Fair Minded Kicker.

We don't like the men who forever complain,
No matter what happens along;
And who from their kicking will never abstain
Though fortune be right or be wrong
They viii not be pleased though the kindliest
fate
May do everything that II can,
They're bound TO be kicking both early and late
Because they are built on that plan.
We don't like the martyrs who never complain
Though everything's going awry;
Who always their seraphlike meekuess retain,
Though clOuded for aye be the sky.
They're really too good for a planet like this,
Who never see anything wrong;
They re meant for realm of unequalled bliss
Aud ought to go where they belong.
fair-minded kicker deserves our respect,
For he Is to justice friend;
The things that are wrong he will soundly reject
And those that are good he'll commend;
But the two great extremes we should always
repress
Whenever their visage is seen,
But our kindliest feelings we ought to express
For the sort that's betwixt and between.

Drunkenness and Poverty

There is no statement more frequent
or more erroneous than that poverty
is the cause of drunkenness in most
cases. As matter of fact, the case
where poverty has caused drunken
ness in this country is the exception.
Those who make the statement get
the cart before the horse. 1t is
drunkenness that leads to poverty ia
the vast majority of cases, and hope
less, ruinOus poverty at that. A man
may be poor but not shiftless or lazy,
but let him take to drinking and he
will lose all self-respect, sense of man
hood, or desire to work, and become
a lazy, shiftless vagabOnd and plunge
himself and family into "a hopeless
condition of squalor and wretched-
ness. Those who are afHuent or in
moderate means reduce themselves to
poverty by drink. Those who are
poor only make themselves poorer and
end in hopeless misery.
Any person who has had the oppor-
tunity to observe the practice of
drunkard- making will testify that he
can hardly recall case where power
ty has made drunkards, but he will
testify to numerous cases where
drunkenness has made paupers.
Where one takes to drink because of
poverty thousand are poor because
of alcohol and are making themselves
still poorer, dying at last as paupers
and dragging their families down with
them. Alcohol is the poor man S
worst enemy the world over. 1t is
the chief cause of poverty in this
country and the principal cause of the
waste of earnings and the deteriora-
tion of health, morals and manhood.
Any measure which would induce
wage workers not to waste their
money on intoxicating liquors would
lie blow at poverty by abolishing its
principal cause. The hope of remov-
ing voluntary intemperance, for So
briefly is the first step to economy and
industry. There is no tax so destruc-
tive as that which liquor levies on
the wage worker and the poor man.
1t gradually takes his money. his
health, his happiness, his mind and
his home. If the thousands of work
ers in this city would save the money
they waste on liquor there would soon
cease all complaints of poverty

Singing and Smoking

Mr.. JohE Z. Freund. editor of the
| American Musician, writes: II studied
conscientiously, day by day, for the
| operate stage for five years. and do
not hesitate To say that for the sing
Ing voice tobacco is bad under any and
all circumstances. 1t is had for a
singer to he In the same room where
people are smoking. If you tell me
that Mario smoked twenty-six cigars
day, will answer you that he would
have sung even better had he smoked
none; and there are some Threats that
can, for time, mind you, defy even
| tobacco. And | will add that those
who, as | did, heard Mario in his later
years, when he was singing ON the
| strength of his reputation, wondered
why our mothers and fathers had gone
crazy over him.
However, there is one thing that is
even worse for the voice than tobacco,
and that is beer. When Won Bulow
uttered in Boston, in 1879, his memoir
able denunciation of the beer drinking
proclivities of the Germans, he spoke
good truth. Beer is all very well for
people who get plenty of exercise or
who earn their living by manual labor
but for the intellectual man, the sing
err, it is poison. There are some Ger
man singers, Emil Fischer, for in.
stance, in whose voices | can posi-
lively hear the kegs of beer they have
consumed.
As for the proper diet of singer, /
| think those who had studied the ques-
tion and were entirely honest would
say: ITO keep the voice in the best
possible condition requires an absolute
abstinence from tobacco, beer, and all
spirits. A glass of champagne, not a
bottle or two, may now and then be
taken with good effect, and for a
steady beverage red wine or white
| wine in moderation.
Tobacco smoke distresses the throat,
dries up the palate and makes the
vocal chords ''flabby." After reading
Sir Morell Mackenzie's article, came
to the conclusion that he had never
sung note in his life, except, per-
haps, "Should Aud Acquaintance Be
Forgot" or ''Scots Wha' Haze VIE
