Mrs. Nation Takes Editorial Charge
of the Peoria Journal
for One Day.
EIGHT COLUMNS OF WARM EDITORIALS.
She Also Tells the story Of Her
"Smashing" Career, and How She
Happened 10 Direst Her Energies
Along that Line of Joint suppress
sion.

Peoria, Ill.,, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation is in charge of the journal
here. She arrived Monday night and
has established herself at the Cos
mopolitan hotel, little out-of-the-
way boarding house which was select
ed because il has no bar attachment.
She has been very deeply interested
in her newspaper work ever since she
arrived and talks great deal about
"her" paper.
II her leading editorial she says:
81 have never hurt IA hair of the
heads of my bad brothers, the saloon
keepers, and hope, for PHYS sake
none of them ever will get in the way
of my Ratchet, for ii gets dreadful
reckless when IL flies around smash
ing that which murders men,"
Aside from writing some eight
columns of editorials, the "Kansas
Cyclone has also written an account
of her smashing career, in which she
tells bow she happened to direct her
energies along this line. The paper
will be twelve pages instead of eight
with eight columns to the page as
usual.
Many of the best known men of the
country will contribute to the col
umns of the paper. The cartoons are
those suggested by Mrs. Nation.
Whisky firms advertisements are an
other feature, one concern having an
entire page. Mrs. Nation will lee
ture here and may visit some of the
distlleries.
Mrs. Nation is assisted in her work
by w. A. Brubaker, national lecturer
for the prohibition party, who is
crusader Of reputation, though he has
never resorted to the Ratchet. Mrs.
Nation will do no smashing. There
was no demonstration when Mrs. Ma
ton arrived. The temperance organi-
cations of Peoria are not in sympathy
with the crusade methods and have
extended no welcome to the queen Of
all smnshers.
