The Prohibition sentiment is becoming
so strong in Kansas City that the Retail
Liquor Dealers association is considering
the ACCESSIBILITY OF closing the saloons or
Sunday to see If the reform tidal wave
will not subside.
This new dispatch puts in a nut

saloon everywhere. considering the

as soon as the American people get
tired of this easy anarchy they IA end
1t once for all, but the only way to end
it is to end the saloon at the same

In the OLD Dominion,

Democratic politics is warming up
down in Ole Virginny. A successor to
United States Senator Martin is to be
chosen, likewise complete set Of
state and county officers. Governor
Montague is pitted against Martin,
They are both busy as the proverbia
bees Congressman Claude Swanson,
Lieutenant Governor Willard and Mr..
Mann are competing for the guborna
torial plum and are making the We!Ein
ring from Tennessee to the Potomac.
Of course it is none of my put in, but
all Swanson's congressional compan-
ions wish him we'll in his laudable am
bition. There are more than three
times as ma1iy governors as there Were
125 years ago, but nevertheless it is Il
feather in ones cap to occupy the gu
bernatorial chair once occupied by such
men as Patrick Henry, Thomas Jeffer-
son, James Monroe. Thomas Mann
Randolph, Henry A. Wise and Fitz-
Hugh Lee, to say nothing Of other dis
tinguished Virginia governors. Swan
son is young, capable, eloquent, indus
trious and ambitious. He is serving
his thirteenth year in congress and

ways and means That he would
make tiptop chief executive Of the

BRYAN and His PIow.

The other day Colonel William Jen-
nings Bryan began a speech at Des
Moines, Ia, by declaring that in order
to speak on that occasion he had left
his plows standing in the furrow, by
reason of which declaration the Wash
ington Post undertakes to make merry
at the expense Of the distinguished Ne
braskan. Colonel Bryan is not the only
distinguished parsonage that has left
his pillow standing in the furrow in Or
der to discharge pressing public duty.
At least one American rendered his
name immortal by precisely that caper
General Israel Putnam, the tough
and heroic old wolf killer. So the Post
had better go little slow in poking
fun at folks for leaving their plows
standing in the burrows. General Put
nam may have injured his crop and
lost financially by leaving his pillow

since the war has held that office twice.
That was Governor rattiSon. His
terms were not consecutive. as the con
Stitution prohibits that, but with i'll
tervals between terms he served two.
When he tried to make it three he
learned, to his sorrow, the truth Of King
Solomon's dictum about carrying your
pitcher to the fountain too often.
Strange to say, he was elected twice
simply because he was honest. In the
last forty years the Keystone State
