PROHIBITION BEFORE CONGRESS.

The proposition for an amendment to the Federal
Constitution to prohibit the manufacture and sale
of malt and spirituous liquors is farcica that it is
surprising should be soberly submitted to Congress
And it is edfying too the panic that is caused
by it among a large number of worthy men in Con-
gress who know it is farcca and yet fear to go on
record upon it.
A State under prohibitory laws can be understood.
number of our States have such laws, but these
laws are not and be enforced except
in a discriminatory way. nation of nearly one
hundred millions of people under prohibition laws
is impossible to conceive Of
For many years there has been a national Prohi-
bition party and its total each four years never
affects election results Nor does its vote grow. In
1912 the party poed only 2O792S out of the 1896
542 votes cast in the Presidential election against
901 1913 for the Socialist candidate
There is no doubt that many voters who supported
the Democratic and Republican candidates in 1872
would favor national prohibition, these voters mostly
living in country districts but the total strength of
the prohibition sentiment in the United States does
not amount to a million votes. An amendment sub
mitted to the legislatures would therefore be over
whelmingly defeated
But when a proposition is utterly without sense
and moreover is supported only by comparatively
small minority of the people, why give it the great
importance of an amendment vote? There are many
grave political questions before the country and
many serious problems to solve. Why, then, should
the question prohibition be thrust upon the people
any shape? And yet Congress should dispose of it.

honest compliance with the requirements of the law
and how to get an honest election if is to be held
1t was an entirely experience for "a munich
pality in New Jersey to act under the Walsh commits

municipalities in which petitions were gotten up
should misunderstood their duty under the law and
accept as lawful proof evidence that not legally

THE RETIREMENT OF rRosEcuroR HooD.
JAMES SMITH, JR.
FOUNDED MARCH 1. 1882.

The acceptance by Prosecutor Louis Hood of the
position of general counsel for the Fidelity Trust
Company involving his resignation from office at an
early date depriycs the county of Essex of most
capable and efficient officer. No better testimony to
Mr. Hoods ability and thoroughness lawyer could
be had than the act the company in appointing him
as its legal adviser.
This incident illustrates the disadvantage which
all government labors under in respect to the employ
ment of legal counsel and judges of the courts It's
the policy of large private corporations and correct
business one to for themselves the best legal
talent to be had and that purpose they offer rates
of compensation that far exceed the amounts allowed
to lawyers or judges in the public service. At the
same time the duties of the lawyer for the corporation
are less onerous They certainly do not compare with
those of prosecutor of the pleas for Essex county as
Mr. Hood has administered the office
The transposition of Mr.. Hood from the position
of prosecutor of pleas general counsel for the
Fidelity commands greater interest than would ap-
pear on the surface The public is doubly concerned
The office of prosecutor is direct public institution
while the Fidelity through its dealings with the
people. can be cassed as kin to public institutions
The people will be deprived of highly capable and
painstaking prosecutors the Fidelity will acquire
valuable asset to its advisory department Mr. Hood
as counsel will necessarily become member of the
company's directorate.
The arrangement is beyond question, recogni-
ton of legal ability and the ndefatigability of law
yer of marked attanments, while it is at the same
time splendid business stroke on the part Of the
Fidelity
Should Governor Fielder, in filling the position to
be vacated by Mr. Hood, exercise keen Judgment in
the selection of seasoned and experienced lawyer of
proper temperament in his appointment, there may
be much atoned the loss of the services of the
present prosecutor.

OUR LOST OCEAN MARINE.

Ask the average member of Congress if he does
depore the fact that the American flag has almost
disappeared in ocean-carryng commerce and he will
say yes But with few exceptions Congressman are
unwilling to take step toward restoring the Ameri-
can merchant marine only step is practicable
namely, government aid.
Political parties are governed in important re-
spects by tradition than principle. Demo-
cratic tradition is opposition subsidy for ocean
commerce. Since the beginning of the great Civil
War have splendid ocean marine
shrink to nothing that American goods are
now almost wholly carried in foreign bottoms.
What we have refused to do under the spell of
this tradition other nations have done and the result
is mortifyingy evident every American mind. All
the great ocean palaces that visit seaports
foreign, and may sail half way around the globe
visit half hundred seaports without seeing
the Stars and Stripes at the masthead of ship.
We pay to the foreigner in freights each year at
least $15000O 900 than the most liberal system
subsidy would cost and this aid to our commerce
would put our flag into every open the richest
markets of the world, give us splendid merchant
marine and auxiliary navy and give employment to
multitude of American seamen

racious task after drinking a mans
cocktails and eating his salt to de-
spoil him of what he had bought
with his own money, but the captain
informed him that the kettles would
be seized and carried to the United
States. Wilson made no objection,
and accordingly landing party was
again sent ashore and the kettles
were loosed from their seats and
carried aboard the man-of-war. Next
day the vessel sailed away. leaving
the former surgeon still lord of the

FUN Is A NECESSITY

drive away fear, care and worry, is Of
practical value. 1t is the shrewdest
kind of business policy to do what
will recreate, refreshen and rejuve-
nate one for the next days work.
What is needed is more play every
day, play mixed with work. Don't
take your vocation so seriously. DO
not let spurious culture" keep YOU
from laughing out loud, or from Civ
ing yourself up with abandon to the
fun-loving instinct.
Wherever we go we see men in
whom the boy has died out long be-
fore they have reached middle life.
They have lost their capacity for play,
they have lost their buoyancy When
the boy has died out of a man he is
in q pretty bad plight. Play is lust
as imperative to a normal person, no
matter how old he may be-. as air is.
and the moment a man loses his
ability to play he begins to wither
and dry up, to shrivel.
Laughter is a good health builder.
Give me an employee who loves to
laugh, who enjoys a joke, who always
sees the 1udicrous side Of things!
There is something wrong about
person who seldom laughs.
| know a man who rarely smiles,
who looks Disguised when he secs
| anyone convulsed with laughter He
is cold-blooded and selfish; he lacks
tenderness, sensitiveness delicacy.
and is very unpopular.
A cheerful disposition that scorns
every rebuff of fortune and laughs
| in the face of disaster is divine
gift. Fate itself has to concede o
great many things to the cheerful
man." To he able to laugh away
trouble is greater fortune than to
possess the mines of King Solomon.
1t is a fortune, too, that is within
the reach of all who have the cour-
age and nobility of soul to keep their
faces turned to the light.

to take from the omnibus bill the clauses forbidding
unfair competition and make them part of the trade

There is very little likelihood that of the trust
