MRS. NATIONS CRUSADE.

Mrs. Nation, who entered the Carey
hotel saloon at Wichita, Kan, the
other day and smashed pictures, mir
rors, glasses, etc, has been arrested,
but she defies the state to prosecute
her. She attempts no denial of the
fact that she hurled stones thru the
fragile paraphernalia of the rumsEop,
but under the constitution and laws
of Kansas saloons are not supposed to
exist. Therefore they can have no
property and Mrs. Nation has not de-
stroyed anything. In her opinion it
is: as if she had taken a sledge ham
mer to a burglars kit and smashed
his tools; destroyed the outfiE of a
counterfeiter, or carried off the appar-
atus used by gambler. The burglar,
the counterfeiter, or the gambler
would feel aggrieved, but they would
have no standing in court if they
were to sue for damages or undertake
to prosecute for malicious destruc-
tion of property.
Mrs. Nation has been emboldened
by experience. Some time ago shs
wrecked two saloons at Kiowa and
there was no attempt to- prosecute
her. She chose Wichita this time be-
cause it was the governors home
town and she thought the lesson
would be more impressive for that
reason.
Unless Mrs. Nation has many imita-
tors her daring work will be of little
effect. She cannot be in every city
and village in Kansas at the same
time, but wherever there is a settle
ment there is a saloon, and we have
no doubt that even the one whose mir
ror and picture she destroyed is still
doing business.
1t is an unpleasant commentary on
the value of prohibitory legislation
that such methods as Mrs. Nation
adopted are deemed necessary in
Kansas. 1t tends to confirm the very
general belief that people cannot be
made to abstain from the use of
strong drink by the mere passage of
IAN act entitled an act"

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
CIRCULATION.
our PRINCIPAL BUSINESS.

1t was an English Baronet, a manu-
featuring millionaire, who, in a recent
lecture before English merchants and
manufacturers, the principal theme of
which was the growing supremacy of
this country in the commercial world
said: "The principal business of the
United States is education The
Englishman uttered great truth. The
Schoolhouse has become so much
factor in the United States, is such
necessary adjunct to our political,
commercial and personal economy,
while its higher forms, as academies,
colleges and universities occupy so
broad portion of the field of our ac-
complishment and endeayor, that we
are apt TIC regard our educational ia
cilities as a matter of course. 1t may
even be that the higher education is in
danger of becoming something of a
fad in some quarters, but no one will
deny the absolute Importance of the
common schools, and there is no poll
tician so destitute of principle, no boss
SO contemptuous of public opinion,
that he would dare to trench upon the
facikMfss for education afforded to the
plain people.
Our principle business is education,
however, not only so far as text books
are concerned, but in the countless
walks of business life, and, as well in
the great realm of production from the
soil. The farmer nowadays who does
not read, or discourse, or absorb in
some fashion the later and better
thought and knowledge as to agricul-
ture, is the farmer who may make a
living, but will not make anything else.
The higher class Workmen in the man
ufactory. the clerk of responsibility
in the store, the student in the profess
sional office, all must educate them
selves into better appreciation Of their
work, into higher knowledge of their
possibilities, or they need not hope to
keep abreast of their compeers. Edu-
cation creates not only dissatisfaction
with existing methods, but hope for
betterment. Americans are credited
with being great inventors. They are
so because of the education, not only
OF the schools. but of the daily work
and conversation which stimulates
their energies. broadens their re-
sources and sharpens their apprecia-
fioI. The immigrant in the United
States finds himself in an atmosphere
absolutely different from that which
surrounds him abroad. and this is not
SO much in the pc cal sense as in
the material. He Fl that his neigh
bors want to know about things, and
unless he is too old he soon gets into
the same habit if inquiry for himself.
OF certainty his children will get
such habits, and by the time the third
or fourth generation is reached his
descendants are Yankees in the best
sense of the term-they want to know
all about it, and if methods are not
satisfactory they will study to i'm
prove them. Education more than
necessity, is the mother if invention.
The Englishman was eminently right.
The principal business Of the United
States is education
