stay there for several days to
make some purchases.
One day they were crossing the
river on a ferry boat. Slocum
bought an evening paper. A lurid
headline across its face told of the
suicide of a prominent man.
Slocurn threw down the paper,
dashed madly to the boats side
and jumped into the river before
anyone could stop him.
He could not swim, and he
would have died there had not
two deckhands risked their lives
and jumped in after and rescued
him.
Slocum was taken to Bellevue
Hospital. There he was pro
nounced insane. His bride could
hardly believe it at first. When
she at last realized the tragedy
that had entered her life she had
her husband taken to a sani-
tarium at Yonkers for treatment,
and went into deep mourning.
That was five years ago. Dur
ing all those years Mrs. Slocum
patiently waited in the hope that
her husband would recover. Her
father, her friends, everyone
urged her to have the marriage
annulled. But she would not.
Il still love him, was her only
answer.
A few weeks ago, at the re-
quest of her father, a number of
alienists examined Slocum.

YOUNG ROCKEFELLER
ON SOCIAL EVIL
Says Man Is Responsible for This
Terrible Blot on American
Social Life.
[By Associated Press.I

New York, Jan. 27.-Man, and not
woman, is responsible for the organ
lied commercial social evil in this
country, is the opinion of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr. He says it is mans
business run for profit" and the
profit is large.
Mr.. Rockefeller made this declara-
ton in the statement giving details
of the aims of the Bureau of Social
Hygiene. AS to whether fallen women
are victims or contributors to their
own character, it is claimed by Mr..
Rockefeller that in a vast majority of
cases she is the victim.
MY belief is that less than % per
cent of the prostitutes would have
fallen if they had had equally as good
chance to lead pure life" said Mr..
Rockefeller. 1T may be that our
theory of training, along with the nat
ural craving for amusement and pretty
things, contribute, but man is chiefly
responsible"

crease the amount of liquor con-
sumed by prohibitory law. When
the saloon keeper goes out the
"boot-legger" goes in. Don't
confuse the two designations.
The ''boot-legger" is usually a
man who has never before been
engaged in the business of re-
failing liquor. He is a man who
has no respect for law and is
willing to take chances in plying
a traffic which yields him good
profits. Liability of arrest has
no terrors for him. He can well
afford to pay his fines. He sup
plies liquor to the extent of it's
demand. Your law simply trans
fers the sale of liquor from the
law-abiding to the lawless. Think
it over, ladies'! We have every |
respect for the possibilities Of
usefulness Of your great organi-
zation, but you were primarily
established as a temperance un-
ion and we subscribe heartily to
temperatures in habits, whether
it be in the use of liquor or other
indulgences. To such extent
your original purpose, will re-
ceive the commendation of the
world. But in advocating prohi-
bition you are seeking the un-
attainable; your remedy would
fail to cure the disease. Why not
adjust yourselves sensibly to
the conditions which confront
you? Preach temperance, morn
ing, noon and night, and we will
join you with a hearty Amen.
But after a hundred years of flu
tile effort to make prohibition
effective we would commend you
to a spirit of reconciliation; to
conditions that prove conclusive
ly that some laws are in conflict
with mans nature. Inclinations
that have become natural must
and will be gratified, laws to
the contrary notwithstanding.

ANSWER TO THE
w. G. I. u,

A few days ago the people of
Winslow received leaflet on pro-
hibition, sent out by the National
Womans' Christian Temperance
Union.
Statistics running in figures to
the hundreds of millions were
used to represent the cost of
liquor used annually, as we'll as a
respectable number of millions
saved by prohibitory laws. The
number of saloons closed was
reconed in miles, that seeming to
appeal better to the imagination
of prohibitionists as basis than
a numerical statement. The fact
that saloons were closed to that
extent is cause for jubilation by
the dry brethren. That these
saloons were supplanted by
"blind tigers to an equal or
greater extent, and that an equal
or greater amount of liquor was
consumed under their prohibi-
tory(?) laws, were facts evaded
by the w. c.. T. y. Their
pamphlet closed with this in
quiry:
IF as much whiskey is sold
under prohibition as under IL
cense, in the name of common
sense why do not all the saloon
keepers work for prohibition,
save their license money, and
sell as much as ever?'
Well, ladies, we will answer
your question.
The saloon men now doing
business under legitimate sane
tion of the law have a natural
preference for continuing the
sale of liquor under conditions
that make the sale as well as the
use of liquor respectable anc
legitimate. When prohibition
laws are introduced you close the
saloons. But, ladies, keep ir
mind the fact that you don't,
never have, and never will, de.
