ARTIST NOT BUSINESS MAN.
Whistler Had Biz Bank Account and
Ddn't rncW II.

The Dundee Advertiser tells story
illustrating WhistieTs forgetfulness
and utter lack of business instinct. Be
ing hard pressed for debt and having
finally been informed he would be
susd unless a check for the amount
was sent by return of post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had a few pounds in the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his ac-
count good for a check of slightly over
$50, and to deposit that amount for
him as a loan. The friend was quite
willing, and in due time stood at the
cashiers desk of Whistlers bank ask
ing for the amount of that gentle
mans balance, explaining his errand.
The cashier was interested; went to
the big book of balances, turned over
a few pages, wrote down some figures,
and in a moment placed them before
the astonished friend. Whfstlers bal
ance was more than 100000. The ar
fist was delighted, but found it diff
cult to remember when he had depos-
tied so much money or where he had
got it.

Danger IN Saloons.

oneiDlna NO. democrat,
Here Is Something from the Kansas
City Star more potent for temperance,
it seems to us, than columns Of the
stuff sent Us by the prohibition com.
mittee on publicity.
IL Is potent 60 all persons reading
the story OF the saloon tradeRy al
Twelfth and Charlotte streets last
evening, that White, the motorman
was shot by Barnes, would not have
been killed IL be had not been drunk.
And the deduction is equally clear
that he would not have been drunk II
he had kept away from saloons.
To the extent Of supplying and
dealing In the commodity that inciteE
its patrons to violence and potential
crime, the saloon, as an Institution,
must be cIassed as an enemy Of social
order.
These conditions warrant society In
classifying the saloon asan institution
a~ntagonistic To social morality. There
have been since last August nine sa-
loon killings in Kansas City. That is
a formidable record. 1t stamps the
dramshop as q distinct agency Of dan
ger and Of insecurity to human life.
No one hears Of murders and bloody
brawls In places where the ordinary
