How the Saloons Stop at the Line
Great Prosperity of the
Prohibition Towns.

LA Maynard, one of the editors Of
the New York Observer, has been max
ing trip through Kansas to ascertain
whether the clamis of the Prohibition
lists that the law is success are justi-
fed. He has written glowing letters
describing the great things that Pro-
hibition has done for Kansas. Here is
an extract from one of his letters:
1.-THE saloons all stop at the line
stop so short and quick too that it al
most tips some of them over. 1t is a
curious and suggestive sight, the way
the saloons stop at the line. It is a
good place to stop and study the tenn
perance question. On the Missouri
$1,000 a-year license side, the dram.
shops swarm all the way over from
the Union Depot, drawing closer and
closer as they approach the point where
the law says Thus far shalt thou go,
but no farther And there they stand
close up TO the line, solid row of them
in all their filth and hideousness, their
screened windo VS. and their beer-mug
signs looking out over the bottom
lands ON the Kansas side with hungry
and baleful eyes. reminding one as
much as anything of pack of raven
Gus beasts held here in leash by some
invisible hand. But that assurance
may be made doubly sure to those who
come and go over the border. the last
saloon of all in the last row has up the
sign First and LAST Chance'-first for
those who come and last for those who
go. Could anthing be more grimly
and malOvently suggestive than that
sign?-an evil reckoning finger to the
coming victim. a desperate clutch upon
the one yet in the tolls. 1t was not
many years ago when the westward
passage over this line meant freedom
for the poor, hunted Southern slave,
and now il means for many freedom
from bondage thousand times more
CALLING than that of the earlier day"

An Ola Time Partisan.

1t is easy to recall to mind his familiar
figure as he sits, during the winter evenings,
in his favorite corner.
In his easy chair, with pipe in hand and
his silyer-rimmed "specs" pushed back
until they find a soft resting place on his
beloved snow.white head, with eyes spark
ling and his face beaming with pleasure as
he calls back old memories of DAYS long
gone by, he is likely to talk something
after this fashion:
tits long time since was boy. Ah'
but that was many years ago. Sixty l,ng
years have gone and tie COOL Lord knows
they we're short enoug,. I was then a
spruce and pert as any chap thereabou!s.
"Oh, but we boys were boys! Things
have changed heap since those days.
Boys then didn't take much stock in stylish
clothes and they didn't carry canes like
they do now. Clothes and canes didn't cut
much caper then, but it was good hard
sense and work.
TIE boy who could do the biggest days
work-could cut the most wood, split the
most rails, plough the most corn, was the
most envied for he was sure 10 have the
sweetest and best lookin' gal at the 'singin'
school or apple peelin'.
II tell you those were good old times'
II didn't think anything of g,ing thirty
mile or more TO see your grandmother, and
we didn't have very good roads either, but
generally had to follow some old Indian
trial.
"Talkin, about sickness then, there was
no sickness like now. If we had a cold, a
pain, or anything, there was the best med
iciene in the world found in any log cabin
home you came across. Why, remember
that my old grandmother, God bless her
soul, she's been dead these fifty years or
more, could make the best home made med.
icine for miles around. Her 'sarsaparilly'
couldn't be beat. Come to think just
read in the paper about somebody who is
making this same old log cabin medicine,
under the name of 'WarLer's Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla,'
at does seem splendid to think that you
can buy those good old home cures at the
druggists nowadays.
"Mebbe you think people were not healthy
in those days, but tell you what it was
mighty seldom any body was sick long when
they had such good old grandmother med
icine so handy.
People used to be stronger, healthier
and they lived longer, when was boy !"

There is good deal ofgush being indulg-
ed in lately, about hosting the sStar
S2angled Banner" over the public school
houses to teach the children patriotism. OF
course numbers of unpairiotic people irrev-
erently term this impulse sentimental pa.
tri ,tism. An improvement on the sugges-
ton would be TO invite the farmers, who are
largely patrons of the public schools, to
place flags on their barns and put one on
each gate pest at the end Of the lane opening
onto the public road. The children could
then have sight of the ''dear old flag" as
soon as they were up in the morning and
the last thing before dark; and the banners
on the gate pests would serve as constant
reminders to way farers. and even the for
eign tramp, that they were in "the land Of
the free and the home of the braye." Ga
wet days and Sundays the children would
still enjoy the privilege Of gazing on the
emblem Of the republic, planted on the
barn, and thus keep their young patriotic
arder up to the boiling point. 1t would
then cease TO be necessary for those deyoted
lovers of their country, maliclously dubbed
''bosses" 10 rig up new flag for the cam.

ers too, would be saved the trouble and ex-
pense of hanging the starry flag over their
doors to remind the public that they were
intensely interested in inspiring the youth
Of the land with the spirit of patriotism.
AS the school boaro is skeptical about i,
being within the prerosative Of their duty
to dedicate the public school houses 10 the
service Of flag-stafs, the difficulty will be
got over and the cause of patriotism better
served BY adopting the suggestion of an ap.
peal to farmers to decorate their barns and
gate posts with the emblem of our nation.

teachers might be instructed to teach the

the difference between it and European sys-
