Mrs. L. V. Dane is so busy with her
duties as District President of the w.
C. T. u, and local work that she hardly
knows what she can lay down, but will
try to do something toward the success
of the plan to publish our paper semi
monthly. We have learned to appeal to
busy people when we are really anxious
for success. AS a rule the person who
has lots Of time is really too busy to
undertake anything.

A HAPPY BLUNDER.

Mr.. w. j. Dean, forwards to us a
letter from G. E. Faulkner, superin-
tendent of the Washburn Children's
Home, Minneapolis. He comments in
terestingly on Rev. c. M. Sheldon's
recent testimony to the success Of
prohibition in Kansas. Mr.. Faulkner
says:
II speak from the knowledge of MEM
Der of the Kansas legislature which
adopted the resolution to submit the
question of constitutional prohibition to
a vote of the people when say that the
principle of prohibition in Kansas is
stronger today than it was in 1879, when
first taken up"
Mr.. Faulkner states that the submits
a legislative accident pure and simple
on the part of the Kansas senate,
and the fun of it all is that many of
these same men who thought the state
would be ruined by it afterward acknowl-
edged that it was a happy thing for the
state that the Legislature Numbered into
it."
