Dark Day For John Barleycorn.

"The increasing agitation OF the cold water
cranks has already succeeded in completely out
lawing the traffic in wines, spirits and beer IN
seven states in the Union in majority OF the
other states it has rendered the traffic contingent
upon the votes of the isolated localities in all
the states it has greatly increased the license
fee and placed other restrictions and embarass-
,nents upon the trade unheard of and undream-
ed of half century ago. and, in fine, it has put
the liquor traffic everywhere on the defensive,
compelling it to fight for existence"
The above quotation taken from the Wine
and Spirit Gazette, the most intelligent paper
published in the interest of the liquor dealers. 1t
does not deal with the ethics of the liquor ques-
ton. 1t states fact. II is an admission from
the highest authority that the temperance
people have dealt the traffic a powerful blow,
and their business has been seriously et-
fected by public sentiment against the habit.
The world is growing better, and we thank the
noble men and women for the part they have
taken to create this result.-Searchligh Lib

campaign, and work with all the power and
force of a mighty cyclone throughout the Unit

We must abolish the United States senate by

abolish the senate in the state legislatures OF all
the states in the Union, and let the business OF
the country be done by one house of represent

movement of the loyal voters throughout the
nation will turn large majority OF the traitors

not loyal to this government can be ousted by

A DRUNKEN STATE TREASURER.

Last week, we published statement from
the Topeka State Journal (Rep.) to the effect
that prominent state official, member of the
executive council, was seen in beastly state of
intoxication on the streets of Topeka, but the
Journal did not give the name of the drunken
galoot. However, we have since learned, from
private sources, that it was Otis L. Atherton,
the state treasurer.
Our friends the ''redeemers" will please COM
pare this whisky-guzzling fellow with the hon
est, upright gentleman (W. H. Biddle) whom
they turned down, and see where they are at.
Do the people want a common drunkard- "a
gutter-snipe-in charge of the financial affairs
of the state? If bank had a cashier or clerk
who was in the habit of getting drunk, or if
merchant had clerk of the same stripe, do
you suppose that cashier or clerk would hold
his job very long? Well, hardly! Is there
any more reason why the state should retain an
employe who is in the habit of getting drunk?
Atherton should fired Immediately.
We are glad to know that number of the
Republican papers of the state are calling for
his removal.

The Commonwealth Club.
Cassville,

In New York and Brooklyn, clubs are being
organized under the above names to further in
terests as the following petition for membership
shows. Great good can be accomplished by
this means and it can be adopted everywhere
with profit:
The name of this club shall be THE COM
MONWEALTH CLUB. Its object shall be to
advance the ideas embodied it the following
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
Differing as we may upon minor details, we,
the members of the Commonwealth club, favor
united political action to secure the following:
The telegraphs, telephones, railroads and
mines should be owned and operated by the
state the street cars, gas, water and electric
lights should be owned and operated blythe mu-
inequalities; and no public employe should be
engaged or discharged for political reasons.
The currency of the country should be issued
by the federal government alone and not by pri-
vate individuals or corporations.
To abolish the saloon, the liquor traffic, so far
as demanded, should be conducted by the state
without profit.
The land is the rightful heritage of all the
neonle. and no tenure should hold without use
and occupancy.
Machinery is the cumulative thought OF the
mast. ard should not be monopolized against
public interest
The ideal of the future is the collective own
ership and operation blythe people OF all the
means of production and distribution.
To secure these we demand the Initiative,
Referendum and Imperative Mandate.

CHAIRMAN DICKIE.

Every time the Hon. Samuel Dickie, chair
man of the national Prohibition committee,
opens his mouth on the political situation, he
puts his foot in it. His last effort was intended
to delude the Prohibitionists into the idea that
there can be no union of reform forces; in
other words, that they should repel all efforts
for union that do not keep prohibition to the
front as the all-absorbing dominant issue' and
minify and make secondary all other questions.
AS a professor of astronomy, he could, no
doubt, tell us much about the sun, moon and
stars, but his political generalship, as chairman
of the national Prohibition party committee,
has been monumental failure. The best thing
that he could do for his party just now would
be to resign and let somebody take his place
who is broad enough to realize that unless the
reform forces unite, there can be no hope for
the overthrow of the saloon or the success of
the many other reforms equally necessary for
the welfare of the people.

Farmers Wanting a Community.

Several farmers living a few miles south OF
Higbee, Randolph Co., Mo-, who have N-everal
hundred acres altogether, have offered to join
together in Community and permanently IN
vest their farms in it, as soon as they can get
several mechanics and workers in other useful
OCCUPATIONS from towns and cities to come and
ioin them, so that all the different kinds OF bus
mess will be combined and carried on together,
and thus greater economy and increased pro-
duction secured, by united labor and the use OF
all the labor-saving machinery that can be OBJ
tanned for every kind of work. They will also
dwell together in one combined building so as
to secure greater comfort, convenience and
economy in their household affairs. Eachmem-
her must invest all his means and work accord
ing to his abiliny, and will be supplied accord
ing to his wants as long as he lives with every
comfort that the Community can afford. They
want 900 members and 5000 acres. Send ten
cents for their circular to r. d. Harris, Bigbee,
Mo-, or A. Longley, N 4th St., ST. Louis,
Mo.
All friendly papers will please insert this no.
tice several times, and thus help some unem-
ployed worthy persons to permanent home
and support for their life time.

that the total cash in the treasury at that time
amounted to s79S, S,o9o, ,9oI, against which the
demand liabilities amounted to $6I8, 1915,
leaving cash balance of SI7S,1S7,5S $50. And
yet, under our illogical and absurd financial
system, the government is hard pressed and
must at frequent intervals appeal to the banks
and moneyed syndicates of the world for loans
of money with which to meet current expenses.
Such 6nanciering is either idiotic or devilish.
Take your choice. Both are bad enough

Written for the LIGHT.
A GIGANTIC LILY.

1t is truly wonderful that nature
should reserve it for the rugged
heights Of a dry country to bring
forth the most wonderful cluster
of pure white flowers which it is
the fortune Of man to look upon.
Far out upon the summit Of rock
where never human foot has trod,
accessible only to the birds OF the
air, | have seen that lily rear its
snowy head ana, like sentinel,
send out its well protected arms.
The Spanish Bayonet ( Yucca Ire
culeana, Carr is one Of the won
ders Of the vegetable world. Nature,
which is ever full of surprises, forces
even the barren rock to contribute
it's share toward the beauty Of the
world. Without so much as YES
tige Of water, that wonderful plant
stands and blooms unprotected,
one of the first in the season to sa-
lutte the Easter sun. Toward the
end of summer it bears cluster OF
fruit resembling the banana, both
i'm taste and appearance, although
each berry is only about the size of
a hens egg, while the roots are
used by the Indians in the prepar-
alton of "amole," and the tibrOus
leaves furnish strong binding ma
terial. In dry seasons the tree,
which in our climate often reaches
the height of twenty feet, is greed
lily devoured by cattle, stem and
all.
What grander ornament in
the gardens of San Antonio
than this dagger so easily
10 be had by going after it!
Satisfied with any waste corner of
the garden, the plant is ever thank
full for the little favor of hospitali-
ty, and does not leave its owner
unreWarded. n. SHULTZ.

OF many reforms, too grand to behold.
That her great religious daily" had

Not to antagonze every measure in which

That the road to reform Is no more OBJ

That the great projects the LIGHT advo-

The suburbs received promises given

A little water, fire and police protection.
And her street car service, well it is a

No more closed hot boxes in the broiling

And 70 open cars during northers, frost
