A COWARD
Mrs. Carrie Nation Objects
to This Name
NO MORE RAIDS
Tn: Hatchet Crusader Says
She viii Go TO
n Lecturing

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 8.--Mrs. Carrie
Natiyn, the temperance crusader, is
alleged to have backed down for the
tils, lime since she started to destroy
the illegal traffic in liquor in Kan
SaS.
About 30 Of her followers had gath
cred IN secret to arrange night raid
on Topeka "joints." The women had
been s.romised the aid of several male
students at Wastburn college, who
were to come around after midnight
and personally take part in the raid
and see that the crusaders were not
molested.
1t was decided to saunter out at 3
a. M, and smash every "joint" in
town.
Suddenly, when everything had
been satisfactorily arranged, Mrs. Ma
tion began to put on her wraps, and
said she was going home. Instantly
her followers were in an uproar. Ex-
pressions of surprise were quickly fol-
lowed by words of condemnation. FL
nally one woman who had spent a
+ eater part Of the day collecting hat
chefs and soliciting aid for the crusa-
ders, rushed to Mrs. Nation and shak-
lng her list in 1.-The Wichita woman's
face, shouted txcitedly:
"YOn're coward, Mrs. Nation:
yon re coward.'
"l'm not a coward" shouted Mrs.
MAI i,n. III go with any one woman
this minute, and smash a 'joint'."
A duzen women loudly expressed
desire 70 60 with the leader, but
Mrs. Nation again changed her mind,
sayi X she was tired, adding, it is
stated, s.The Lord does not wish me
to g. tonight,' and without further
ado left the room.
While the women stood in little
groups .ss5scussing with wonderment
their leaders action, Mrs. Natl N ac-
companied only by a reporter, made
the rounds of the "joints" to satisfy
herself that all we're closed. The
keepers, apparently anticipating a
raid had closed and barricaded their
doors, and at midnight Mrs. Nation
went to her home.
When questioned about her Chicago
trip, which had been planned for next
week, Mrs Nation said she could tell
nothing definite about it. 81 will go
when the Lord directs me-" she said.
"At the present He wants me to re-
main here. ;"
She said, however, that she would
60 to Kansas City. "Not to smash
but simply to lecture
Some of the volunteer members of
Mrs. Nation S band of crusaders claim
their leader has been induced to give
up the smashing of Joints" in Or
der to 60 off on lecturing tour.

The investigation into the con-
duct of Admiral Schley during the
naval battle which resulted in the
destruction of the Spanish feet, is
producing evidence Of a conspiracy
among naval officers and the secre-
tary Of the navy to rob Schley of
the honor and glory that belongs to
him as commander Of the fleet.
There are few things that boards
on inquiry, naval officers and other
conspirators cannot get around and
they al show that Schley was there
and took hand in the fight. The
Spanish fleet vas destroyed, the
victory won, and the Brootcly re-
ceived more shots and inflicted more
damage than any other vessel N
our feet. She was Admiral Schley's
and if there was any cow
ardice displayed by the admiral il
would be good thing if all of our
army and naval officers had a lib
eTal portion q the same kind Of
cowardice in their nature. It's the
right kind Of stuff

III the Brady will case There is
no truth in the statement, as Sher-

OF the men on the jury are new ar
rivals whose religion and politics
were unknown. The verdict Of
the jury may be right, or it may be
wrong, but we believe the twelve
men who rendered it were honest
and sincere in their belief. A
packed jury is made up Of men who
peUure themselves when they take
the oath to render a verdict accord
ing to the evidence, and we are
loath - believe that twelve men
selected from the citizens of the
county would be guilty of the
crime, no matter what disappointed

think. Such charges should not
be made unless they are known 70

A NEWSPAPER editor who allows
his religious prejudices to influence
him 10 such an extent that he at
tacks the verdict of jury as a
trayerty oI1 justice and charges that
the jury was packed, needs a little
good, common sense injected inAo
his Uranium. The verdict Of a jury
stands as law and fact until higher
court changes it, and it is fortunate
for the world that this method OF
dealing out justice has superseded
the Older methods when cases were
decided by religious bigotry-
Church and state are separated for
ever and the separation will become
greater as the world grows wiser,
although there viii always be few
narrow minded persons to let
their religion influence their every
action. They are to b. pitied rath-
