oIaa..one,s wonderfuI Memory.

William Il. Gladstone had a marvel
GUS memory. Sir Algernon West tells
this story of IL: We were discussing
in 1881 the conversion OF the malt tax
into a beer duty. / had told him that
the estimated profit OF the masters
was three per cent. on each quarter of
malt. The following day he said: I
understand that the masters profit Is
four per cent. No, sir I said. three
per cent. j certainly thought it was
four And then, turning TO Mr.. Young.
a famous internal reyenue official. he
said Can you recollect as far back as
1892 Was O the profit then sup
posed TO be four per cents? IL was
then. he replied. All. Mr.. Gladstone
said, 4 see how -four per cent. has got
into my mind. / recOllect studying
tile question when / became member
for Newark In 1892 and it was that
figure then A gap Of nearly 50
years."

of the constitution, persons who are
fully convinced that prohibition is the
wrong thing as well as those who are
opposed to prohibition simply because
they wish to traffic in liquors. would
be compelled to vote for prohibition
or vote against the constitution, the
rejection of which would delay state
hood fer years. II is argued that If
the delegate to the constitutional
convention are la favor of prohibition
that it has been demonstrated that
the majority of the people OF the two
territories are in favor of prohibition
Such a stand would cause the fight to
como at the time delegates to con
ventlon are selected and such a con
test would have a tendency to lower
the general standing of the members
Of that body.
Many OF the ablest %cleanest men in
the territories favor submitting this
question To a vote Of the people at
the time the constitution is voted on,
but in a separate clause from the
body of the constitution. Shall all
these men be barred from the con
vention and none sent but extremists
on both sides?
Shall the p%rohibitory question
drive all others into the back ground
when candidates for the constitutional
convention are selected? The Times
Journal believes the question OF pro
hibition or anti-prohibition should be
settled at the time of the adoption
of the constitution by a vote OF the
whole people but that it should be
voted upon as a separate clause. Let
this vote be so decisive that il viii
not be brought CUP again in a year or
two years.

ut Is easy enough to manufacture "
remarked watkins, the Chicago sales
man. but the real job is scattering the
stun after you make it,"
IL don't altogether coincide with
your idea remarked Joannis Caro-
l%ianus, the young college man who was
out 70 pick up points and who, after
having listened TO the company Of
plain, blunt business men for a time,
had grown a little more at ease. Does
not Emerson tell us that a man may
make poor things and fail to sell them
on The busiest thoroughfare but let him
make good thlngs-aye, a mousetrap.

give "a good circus to the people after
you set them i'm the tent, but to get
them there YOU must post mp your

1t used to be SO that a man could
make good stuff and go ont in the mid
die of a forest, as my young friend
here says, and have people come to
him; but nowadays he has a fierce time

Very few papers look forward to a

and also to a large extent based rpon
prejudice hence generally bitter.
A large number of people set every
down who in the slightest way
differs from them a. either a sense

liquor interests. These d~isagreeable
features were easily anticipated by
an wt11 81 became eFident that this
subject would be up for discussion
prior to the election Ct delegates to
constitution and during the campaign
prior to the election for ABORTION or
rejection Of constitution and most
| people sincerely hope that St will be
settled for all time when these two
elections are over.
While it was evident that the dis.
agreeable subject would be up for
consideration. and that 1t would be
next TO Impossible TO comment on
this matter without being miscon.
sti cd the Tin%1es-Journal promptly
opened O discussion OF the subject.
The editor Of this paper brought upon
himself the condemnation of a num-
Der OF extremists for stating that in

line the liquor question than prohi-

The %prohibitoty law of Kansas IS

we feel certain that the test will not
