CAnsE AND EFFECT.

Secretary Straus, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, recently ad- vanced a somewhat novel theory to ac- count for the prohibition movement in New England. He argues that codhsN was at the bottom of 1t. Eating free ly of the fish brought on thirst which nothing but New England rum could assuage, and indulgence therein came the prohibition movement up there.
 Tt now remains to be seen." remarks The Chicago Tribune, whether New England will remain quiet under this aspersion upon it's old and time hon. ored insignia, the codfish. There are historical authorities which affirm that New England rum antedates New Eng the jug in their houses long before it was their habit to salt down codfsh. New England rum was contemporary with beans and succotash. There is stilI 8 record extant setting forth the expense Of erecting one of the first meeting houses in Salem, Mass, in which heavy charges for port wi7s and New England rum are mentioned, the rum having been served to the workmen and having figured ip the dedication feast But there is no men tion of codfsh. This was long before Gloucester, the great fish port, was heard of. There are records -xtant of New England rum used as libat!ons on all public occasions by colonists, the selectmen used 1t, the judges used it. even the minister used 1t judiciously. The doctor used it. and, mixed with simples of all sorts, 1t was a stand ard prescription. It was the accom- paniment of good fellowship, the so- lace of the hayfeld, the staple of the town meeting, and when commlngled with molasses. the familiar beverage If rich and poor. Almost every house had it's little brown :ug standing by tie little brown bean rot. an1 these sw9 U.ensils kept the l4res and pen- ates in good humor."
 The Tribune is plainly not convert to the Straus theory, but we do not look on 1t as so unreasonable. We are aware that rum was among the first products of New England. It was used not only to strengthen the colonists but to corrupt the Indians. That it antedated the fisheries is doubtless true, but is 1t not reasonable to argue that their after consumption of cod fish produced such an inordinate thirst that nothing could quench it but equal

Essay on Bachelors.


 Bachelors are cultivated in all cities They live in bachelor apart ments and bungalows. They can be seen during the day in counting houses and on the golf links and in the even. ing at dinner parties and juker games.
 Bachelors at one time were easily caught with almost any kind of bait. and swallowed bait hook, sinker and all, often at the first throw. Now however, they are becoming much more wary and hide in the depth of their bachelor apartments or iil deen pool:
 They are @regarious in their habits. running. in schools, but they stand by each other, and 1t Is very unusual to And a solitary one. Occasionally, how ever, a more foolish and oVsr-eoifdent specimen will poke his nose into a l. lded.
 Bachelors are in reality the buIwark of the nation. By not getting married they dQ not raise families. Families, as we Know, are constantly consuming our natural resources Bachelors are. therefore, really providing more nat ural resources for the few. Their con duct, it will be seen, is thus quite un- selfish.

A MORNING THOUGHT
"Her Man"
BY J. MARVIN NICHOLS

"Her Man" The woman who drops
 all her lavish love for "her man" with the coming of the first baby and devotes herself exclu- sively to her child. leaves her husband where she found him--young. unde- veloped, probably poor in wealth and position. If he fails to climb through lack of companionship. she and her whole family will live life of strug- gle and poverty. If, on the other hand, he climbs without her, he soon outdist- ances her in the things of the world. At home she Is developing herself on one side only---the side of self-dsvo' ton. solf-abnegation and domesticity. At 40 or 50, when the children have gone to homes of their own, and her husband hos at least won single-hand- ed the object of his ambition. she turns to meet him again. She is surprised to find no traces of the young man she left in the years long since gone. Hay. ing withdrawn her heart---un willingly, I would be kind enough to say-she turns now to a heart she does not know. It amounts to tragedy, now, l know of no sadder ending. If she would she finds herself incapable of the sweet est joy that might have come to her had she walked more contantly with him down the path of life.

 The human population of country villages most sad to see, Is every year rendered less intelligent than it was 100 years ago. All the enterprising' intelligent young men and maidens are "fished' away, drawn by baits and hooks to the great towns; only the dull and relately incapable are left in the village to marry and produce a new generation. The village popula- tion necessarily becomes made up of a dull stock-incapable. as appears from official reports, of being educated be- yond a very low stage. In some dis tricts 70 per cent of the children are thus unintelligent. though not unheal' thy or imbecile.
