Washington he had no scrip In his
pockct-but he got there just the same.
He rode horseback to tho Missouri river,

to going down to The mouth of the Ohio

in DEFENSE OF KEAN
Frances Willard's Remark
able Letter.
PLEA FOR THE FALLEN BANKER
Intimates That the Failure Was
Precipitated by Enemies
of Temperance.

CHICAGO Dec. 23 "A remarkable let
ter will be published here tomorrow
from Frances L.. Willard, president oi
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union. regarding the circum-
stances attaching to the disastrous fail
ure of the bankers of the organization,
5. A. kean 4 Co., which is attracting
such widespread attention.
Miss Willard opens with an ardent
defense of Mr.. kcan. reciting his thirty
years of clean lie and helpful service
in Chicago home missionary work; his
continuous honorable connection with
the banking business, and the fact that
he has successfully weathered all previ-
Gus financial crises. She has been wait
ing for some days TO see some leader In
the pulpit or pew come into the arena oi
public controversy In the bankers de.
icnsc.
~ am panied beyond expression, -
said she, by this silence Of the good.
It is then true that the worlds people
stand by each other better than do the
members OF the household OF faith.
"The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and its atii iliated interests have
had Mr. kean for banker during several
years. lie Is a leading prohibitionist
and representative Methodist layman.
Who knows what hatred of the temper
anco cause may be back of all this, and
but what 1t is q blow aimed Ut an or
ganiZed movement against the liquor
tratlic?"
Miss Willard says the losses of the
organization and its branches are hap
PLY small, aEd adds; But | know by
my correspondence that the press of the
country has been given To- understand
than an appalling calamity has oycrtaken
the wnite ribbon movement Possibly
the wish is father to the thought. There
Is Joy in heaven over one sinner
that repenteth; there is doubtless joy in
hell over one saint that inlis, Beyond
peradventure, there is rejoicing I'm every
grOgshop of the city when the temper
ance cause or any of its advocates is
overtaken by misfortune, seeming or
real"
Miss Willard concludes with hopo
for the best and belief in the rehabilita-
