Kansas City, Kan, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Car
RE Nation, the Kansas Joint" smasher,
gave one of her characteristic prohibi

last night under the auspices of the
Associated Charities. The lecture was
free to all and an audience of 500 per-

half. She was introduced to the audi

Brown of the prohibition movement
Both the Apostle Paul and I have
been in Jail for smashing at the evil
things in this world" said Mrs. Nation.
Are you clapping your hands because 1
am out? Do you know what 1 think
of this Kansas whisky? It is too rot
ten for a hog to SWill or a dog to lap.
The Republicans and the Democrats are
responsible for this bad whisky. The
only difference between the two great
political parties is that one is in and
the other wants to be. 1 have some re-
spect for a dog of a saloon keeper, but
a Republican or Democratic politician
is not entitled to the respect of anyone.

you that am a loyal Kansan I will

TOPEKA WANTS OIL.
Proposition to Pipe Il to Topeka Is
Made,

Secretary r. J. Anderson of the
Commercial club has been in CORE
spondence with H. J. Adams, of Leroy
with regard to the feasibility of piping
crude oil to Topeka for fuel purposes
He received a lengthy detailed state
ment today from MIR. Adams which
tells clearly and exhaustively Just
what will have to be done if Topeka
wants crude oil piped here.
Mr.. Adams states that the cost will
be somewhere in the neighborhood of
$125,OO0. 1t is his proposition to erect
a refinery here, at which all of the oil
can be refined, and the residue con-
Yerted into various other Materials
here at home Major Anderson did
not care to give out anything more of
Mr.. Adams letter. He will read the
communication to the members of the
club on Wednesday evening, at the
regular meeting.
Secretary Anderson will urge the
formation of a Topeka stock COMPANY
to take charge of the matter. 'It can
be done. and it must be DONE" he said
this morning. "It will prove a won
derful blessing to our city. Topeka
capital will have to back it up. Mr.
Adams and his friends will provide
line. 1t is up to us to raise the
money to lay the line and get things
into a business shape here. I shall
most heartily speak for the formation
of a company tomorrow night
What about the plan also to bring
gas here?" was asked.
We need them both,'' replied the
major. I'VE can use them both. There
need be no conflict on that score.''
