This speech was made on the bill
proposing an amendment to the con-
stituti"n prohibiting the sale Of in
toxicating liquors in Kansas. The
vote on the amendment took place in
the November following. Prohibi
ton Of the liquor traffic was not pop
ular on the border, and particularly
in Dodge City where sixteen saln ns
were located. The abolition of the
liquor traffic meant the curtailment
OF the business IT the city, and the
opposition to the measure was great.
Mr.. Wrigbt's speech before the
committee is one of the "reminiscences
of the days when the open saloon had
full sway in Kansas, and the tarnntuls
and rsttl..snske roamed with free will
in the sand among the cactus and the
sand burrs.
As a literary effort Mr.. Wright's
speech has . place in the memory of
former days. among the people Who
treasure things of the past; and cop
les Of the speech have been made for
the benefit of those who remember
the days when the wine was red and
flowed freely.

IN the senate the other day Mr.. Ma
son, of Illinois, presented the following
resolution, which he wished to have
passed by that body:
Whereas all just powers of govern
ment are derived from the consent Of
the governed; Therefore, be it
Resolved by the senate of the United
States, That the government of the
United States of America will not at
tempt to govern the people of any 9TH
err country in the world without the
consent of the people themselves. or
subject them by force to our dominion
against their will.
Does the senator desire precedents?
Let him look at the treatment this ma
tion has accorded the American Indian
from the beginning. It is precedent,
but hardly establishes his side of the
case.

The crusade against slot machines
is proceeding in various parts of the
country. In Kansas City the other
day the appellate court handed down a
decision in q SLOT machine case-the
first in the state of Kansas by higher
court. The court held that slot ma
chimes where the chance Of winning or
losing Is taken by the operator are
gambling devices pure and simple. In
Galveston, Texas. last Saturday, &C.
cording to q dispatch, the grand jury
returned Indictments against about
thirty-five persons for the operation of
slot machines in their establishments.
More indictments are expected. A
few days ago Sheriff Thomas ordered
all these machines removed and the
order was obeyed. 1t was thought that
no further prosecution would result.
All of the men gave 5000 bond each
for their appearance to answer to the
charge of Establishing q lottery and
disposing of personal estate by lot
terry" Thus it will be seen that Ell
Paso will have to be quick If she wants
to keep up with other progressive
cities.

There can be no argument advanced

Athletics at the University.

The business managers of the Ath-
letic Association of the University OF
Tennessee have been making every
effort to arouse enthusiasm and support
for athletics at the University for the
coming session, and all friends of col
lege athletics will be glad to know that
the outlook for this popular feature Of
University life is unusually bright.
Experience has proven that success
in athletics is an impossibility without
systematic training under competent
instructors. Lovers of foot ball and
other college sports will rejoice in the
announcement that the services of a
coach, Mr.. j. Audley Pierce, of La
fayette College, Penn, have been Sc
cured by the Athletic Association of
the University.
1t is confidently anticipated by the
Association that Mr.. Pierce's instruc.
tions will render the success of athletics
on the hill for this year an assured
fact He has been manager Of both the
foot ball and base ball teams at La
fayette College, and has also had con.
siderable experience with the track
team. He played end rush upon the
team for four years and was member
of the eleven which tied Princeton and
defeated Pennsylvania in 1906. Mr.,
Pierce comes with the hearty endorse
ment of the faculty of Lafayette Col
lege, both as to his ability and charac-
ter. He will be at the University at
the opening of the fall term, so that
the organization and training of the
football team may begin at once.

Helen Gould's Mansion.

Helen Gould's home, Lyndhurst, on
the Hudson, is q gray and blue marble
structure, so solid, so somber, that it
verges upon the monastic. Since her
fathers death, Miss Gould has changed
nothing within the castle nor without.
All the old-fashioned furniture, each
and every jug, vase and picture, re-
mains as Jay Gould left it. Even the
daily routine of life is the same; same
servants, same hours for meals, same
rules for the admittance Of visitors to
the grounds all sacred to the memory
of her father.
The estate includes more than n
square mile of tho most valuable land
on the Hudson. OF these broad acres
100 or more Immediately surrounding
the castle are laid out in lawns and an
perb gardens. Within this lawn space
are stables covering several acres, five
cottages, splendid bowling alley, and
the finest and largest private conser-
vatory in America.
Within this $4,000 crystal palace,
which is 500 feet long and 100 feet deep
are 5000 varieties of flowers, aggrega-

EASE AND DISEASE.
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of Familiar
Word,

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as '1ock of
ease, uneasiness, trouble, yexatio4,
disquiet." 1t is a condition due to
some arrangement OF the physical or
ganism. A vast majority of the eds
ease" from which people suffer is due
to impure blood. Disease of this kind
is cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
purifies, enriches and vitali2es the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures scrof-
ula, salt rheum, pimpes and all other
eruptions, 1t tones the stomach and
creates "a good appetite, and it gives
vigor and vitality the whole body. 1t
reverses the condition of things, giving
health, comfort and lease" in place of
"disease."
