We are all familiar with the daily advertisements asking for young men to take up positions in the tropics with the proviso "single man preferred," or "must be unmarried,' thereby dashing to the ground for good the hopes of the young married man who looks to the Dominions for his future, says MME: in the: "Glasgow Herald." It has always, seemed folly to the writer, this erecting fron bars in front of the married man, so it is extremely interesting to' record the opinion of one of our Empire-builders, a man wisdom and life-long experience.
Married v. Single Without casting any slur upon the single man, he states that of necessity the young married man must ap-_ preciate to a greater degree than the single man the meaning of respon-sit not natural, he asks, man who is chappy in the companionship of his wife will not. feel that he must find distraction' The man who as spent power the evening in the company of wife, and possibly another married couple on the station, will feel far fitter, and will be in better fettle for is work the next morning than the unattached man who has been at a loose end the evening before and busy "killing time." This raising 6f barriers against the married man—to say nothing of the man who may. be contemplating marriage—is surely short-sighted and grossly unfair.
