Ths pilgrim fathers were undoubted
ly hsroic men, facing, as they did, with
dauntless courage, fire, frost, famine
and the red menace of Indian ruthless
ness. But the pilgrim mothers were
more heroic still, for they endured also
all these things and had in addition to
stand the pilgrim fathers as welL—

Napoleon's First Lova.
The little French town of Auxonne
is not in the popular mind
with Napoleon; but, as Miss Betham-
Edwards reminds us in "Unfrequented
France," he spent some years of his
cadetship tl.vire. "In the Saone he
twice narrowly escaped drowning, and
here, too, i;s narrowly, so the story
runs, marriage with a bourgeoise maid
en called Manesca. Two ivory counter?
bearing this romantic name in Napo
leon's handwriting enrich the little mu
*eum."

| Poverty, Crime and Insanity |
I Spring From Many Causes |

It is fair to presume that when a "Commission on Temperance," of an association of laymen 5
under the title of Federal Council of Churches, shall have been misled into making a report
E of FALLACIES through the press, that it would not be unwelcome if substantiated FACTS
and figures were submitted to show the misinformation that had been given the public. This
Commission was quoted declaring: (i) That men who work too many hours spend the most
time in saloons, where they go for stimulants for fatigue. This is still a moot question, and
no convincing testimony has yet been produced. (2) That alcoholism is the chief cause of
poverty ?The FALLACY of this allegation was sufficiently answered in the recent annual re
port of the Philadelphia Society for Organizing Charity, which investigated 30,000 individual
cases of poverty last year and found more than 50 per cent, the result of sickness. Only
= 918 of the 30,00 c came to want from misuse of liquors—a trifle over 3 per cent. (3) That
drink is the chief cause of crime? This FALLACY was exposed in the annual report of
Comptroller Prendergast, of New York, who stated that only 8 per cent, of every $lOO of
that city's taxes goes to support the police (only in small part serving against criminality)
and less than 1 per cent, used to maintain penitentiaries and other prisons. (4) Tha' alco-
I holism is the chief cause of insanity? The FALLACY of this may be learned in Bc'^tin
119 of the U. S. Census, which shows that 24 States in the Union had a lower ratio of in- 5
| sane than Prohibition Kansas; that in alcoholic psychosis the insane record of "dry" Kansas
was worse than that of 19 other States, 14 of which had licensed saloons. (5) That if cap
ital now invested in liquor industries were exploited in other business enterprises the money
= WGJ.IZ jive employment to four times as many wage earners. This is reckless allegation,
E tor Census statistics show many industries with less labor employed, in ratio to capital in- #
§ vested, than liquor enterprises. When it is considered that National Prohibition would ccn-
E £scate and destroy properties in which $771,516,000 has been invested through Government
E encouragement; that Prohibition would throw out of employment an estimated 1,200,000
i wage earners trained to that work only and just as helpless in other pursuits as carpenter.-,
E§ or printers would be if their trades were taken from them; that $325,000,000 paid for Fed- if;
'erai and Municipal support by alcoholic industries would necessarily have to be iropoo: 1 .
5 upon other taxpayers; that the wiping out of drink (even if possible) would not transfer .ill
moneys thus spent to increase purchases of other commodities, then the FALLACY and JV.I, E
= of Prohibition becomes clear to people who appreciate the FACTS.—PENNSYLVA
