KANSAS PROHIBITION.
Justice Brewer Intimates That clta-
zens Have Been Lax IN Duties

New Haven. Conn, Feb 16-In the
course OF his address to the students or
Yale university, Justice David y Brew
er. Of the United States supreme court
referring TO the prohibition laws OF Kan
eas, said:
.'If every man (and womanl in Kan
sas had done his best since 1850 70 en-
force the prohibition legislation q rhat
state George Washington would noI
have been obliged to divide his Ratchet
reputation with Mrs Nation.
THE problem of government by the
people depends upon the way service az
the primaries is performed. To the man
who has e. solemn sense of what gov
eminent by the people means the pfl-
mary and the polls are sacred places
the college graduate can make no ex-
cuse. He IS the last man in the world
who can plead ignorance or his duty IL
citizenship. He leaves college an am
bassador from the court Of learning.
Unfortunately no one can doubt that
money is becoming a factor a harmful
factor. in our politics. There is a temp
tation for an office-holder to go out Of
Office at least no worse than when he
came. This is an evil and it is more of
an evil than it was in days gone by. i
appeal to the value OF high conScien-
1iousness to cure this Let every one see
to it that by keeping himself alOof from
its contamination he is doing all in his
power to remedy these conditions"
In conclusion the eminent jurist made
this prophecy.
If the people OF the United States
ever believe or ever come to believe that
cOmmerciaiisn controls politics they will
rise and viii rid themselves by forcing
aside all those who they believe are re-
sponsible for these conditions"

Washington, Birthday.

The Society Of Sons of the American
Revolution desire to say that the invi-
tatiOns to the services for the celebration
of Washington's Birthday were in most
instances directed to but q single men,
Der OF the family. This resulted from
the meager information to be gained
from our lists of membership; they con-
tain no information as to whether the
members are married or unmarried.
All the wives whose husbands received
invitations, and all the husbands whose
wives received invitations, are most cor
daily invited to attend the services of
the celebration. Each unmarried person
who received an invitation should bring
one friend.
