MORAL sUAsION, TOO.

Kansas is apparently on the verge
Of crusade against the joint. It
seems probable that the pendulum is
swinging towards a more strict en-
forcement of the prohibitory law, a
situation that will meet the approval
of all law-respecting people.
But while they are enforcing prohi-
bition, temperance people should not
overlook moral suasion. That is the
real cure for the evils of intemper-
ance. Prohibition is only an aid. It
is designed to keep temptation out of
the way Of the weak-wiIled man, who
has an appetite for liquor beyond his
control, and to keep the rising. genera
ton from acquiring such an appetite.
Prohibition may keep the lquor-seller
from placing the temptation before
the old topper, but it does not keep the
old topper from sending to Kansas City
and having it shipped to him. Pro-
hibition may keep Kansas young men
from being debauched at home. but it
Will not save them when they go
away.
One great trouble in Kansas has
been that the people who believe in
temperance have depended upon the
prohibitory law to do the whole thing.
They have said to public officials.
Here is a law; go ahead and enforce
it." but they have not laid enough
stress on the evils of drinking. Too
many young men have grown up to
think it smart to evade the prohibi-
tory law and get drunk once in a
while.
So while the prohibitionist is pun
ishing the man who sells the liquor,
let him not forget to urge upon the
man who drinks it the necessity of
leaving it alone. If people can be per
suaded to leave it alone there will be
no difficulty in enforcing the prohibit
tory law.

TIE PRIZE SCAMP

About twenty years ago a man We
know was married to his second wife.
Her parents were poor and she was
young and connding. He was, we
think the LATEST man we ever knew.
He was too lazy to draw a long breath,
and for years the sneighbors thought
he was dying of consumption, because
he wouldn't work. more than half a
lung at a time. When the wife was
too sick to take IN washing. either the
neighbors had to chip in or the au-
thorities came to their relief to keep
them from starving. There was little
pity for then-but they had children.
People never get too poor or too
ornery to have children. Everybody
rather hoped that the old codger
would debut he was too lazy to
enact a dying scene. He is still living.
Not long ago, out Of sheer charity. the
authorities ordered the woman taken
to the poor farm of the county where
they live. The husband accompanied
her and her offspring to the elee-
mosynary institution and on parting
gave her these comforting words:
Lulu, when I married you, you were
poor and had a very poor dugOut
home. Now I bring you to one of the
largest houses in the county where you
can live all the rest of your days-it is
your home. "-Concordia Kansan.
