Temperance people are much
pleased with the help which the Kan
sas City Star is giving in the law-en-
fOrcement crusade in Kansas. In a
recent editorial that paper said:
The intimatiOn that Joints Of
Kansas City, Kan, may be closed
voluntarily is coupled with the quail
iicatiOn that it would be a temper
airy policy, designed to stay the custer
proceedings against certain officials Of
that municipality. It is the qualifica-
ton that makes the main rumOr
somewhat plausible. But it is to be
any process Of reasoning OF by any
demonstration other than one Of com
plete breaking up Of the saloon bust
ness, be prevailed upon to modify his
policy. No temporary closing Of the
joints will suffice. The closing that
is demanded by all clear-minded,
right-hearted people is permanent
closing. That is the kind Of law en-
forcement that gives dignity 70 all
law and tone to the community re-

All honor to the newspapers Of the
country which are helping to tone up
the community, in many places, by
such ringing editorials as thisl
Mrs. Hutchinson, state president Of
the W. c. T. L, in her recent annual
address. has this to say about the
newspapers Of Kansas:
1.-THE press Of our state is, today,
largely taking a stand for enforce
ment OF all laws upon the statute
books, and is standing against law
lessness and completely on the part
Of officials sworn to execute law The
newspaper Of a community is not
generally very far in advance Of the
people 1t has, so TO speak, its hand
upon the public pulse, and il there IS
hardly any visible life, the next issue
Of the paper shows tOrpidity. II on
the other hand, there IS a condition
which shows that the pulse Of the
community is being agitated, II the
public is aroused and determined, the
press Of that community viii be equal
TO the situation, and they will gener-
ally respond to the activity around
them. There are exceptions to all
rules, and there are cities in Kansas
which have newspapers that are a
curse to the community, because they
aim to perpetuate in their midst viola
tons Of law RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all
the vices that stand for the tearing
down Of the home. A good. strong,
| fearless paper can revolutiOnize any
city in time. When you have one that
stands for decency and morality,
stand back OF them. and give them
