Speaking of the wonderful reform
that has been wrought in Kansas City,
Kansas, the Lutheran World says:
kansas City, Kansas, a city of 100,-
600 inhabitants, has just completed a
prodigious task in cleaning itself of
crfme-breeders, the remarkable success
of which ought to be a shining exam
pie to other cities and city officials.
One year ago the county in which Kan
sas City Is situated was disgraced by
256 saloons, 300 gambling houses and
60 houses of social evil. Today it has
none. 1t has had none for over ten
months. Il hopes never again to be
injured by the gin-mill, pool room or
brothel. The splendid results of this
disinfection of the city are seen in a
remarkable report made by Assistant
Attorney General c. w. Trickett to the
Congregationalist:
"At the commencement of the con-
test a large number of our people
thought it would ruin business and de-
stroy our prosperity, but it has stimu-
lated business in all lines. Our pop
ulation has increased at a greater rate
banks have gained by 81 100000. The
merchants upon our streets have had to
employ additional clerks. The attend
ance in our public schools has increas-
ed largely, and we have had to employ
eighteen additional teachers. The
teachers inform us that this increase
is largely Of boys and girls from II to
16 years of age, who prior to the clos
ing of the saloons were compelled to
assist in supporting the family, by rea-
son of the father spending his wages
for drink. The charitable institutions
report a reduction of more than two
thirds in the demand for aid. The ju-
venile court, which has the care Of de-
pendent children, had but two applica-
lions in the past eight months; while
prior to the closing of the joints from
eight to Lightweight children required
some assistance and aid every month;
while prior to the closing Of the joints
we sent from 10 to % young men to
the reformatory every year. In the
twelve months since the closing of the
saloons we have sent but two. The ex-
penses Of prosecuting criminals have
been reduced $685. 900 per annum. The

The Craftsman.

The Craftsman FOR October might
well be called an Educational Num-
ber," for the idea most prominently
set forth in its pages is that of the
great value of handicrafts as a means
of mental and moral development, not
only for children but for men and wom-
en- of both business and leisure class
es. The editorial by Gustav Stickley
is devoted to the subject of manual
training. Among the Craftsmen"

in October, which include practical
lessons in handicrafts; the theory of
design is taught by Ernest Bachelor,
and also there are practical lessons by
Mr.. Stickley himself in cabinet max
ing and metal work; for the builders
there are important architectural ar
ticles, and also a valuable talk by the
editor on the decoration of wall spac-
es. Besides the special educational
purpose of the magazine, there are val
liable articles on Secession Art--Its
Growth, Meaning and Failure; some
interesting letters which Lafcadio

officers attend school and conduct con-
tinuous war. The post reservation at
Leavenworth has been metaphorically
mapped until it is a blot of ink and
plowed with shells and narrowed with
bullets until it is dust heap.
Although our land forces were new
er so well prepared for any emergen-
cy as they are today, there has never
been a time when recruiting was so
difficult. the material so poor, and the
standard necessarily SO high. Either
by a raise of pay or other legislation
congress must this winter deal with
this question.
We have 10000. 600 men of military
age in the United States. Out of that
16 .000, 900 we are scarcely able TO fill
the ranks Of a standing army of lit
tie over 10000 This is no indication
of lack of patriotism. Perhaps IL is
not even an inconsistency. Our youth
are ready to die for their country, on
ly they want to be sure they will have

when it is easy to get a Job for two
dollars day from week to week, is
another thing.
Such an explanation, though sooth-
ing to our susceptibilities, is no help
to the General Staff OF course IL is
easy to get $4,000 men of sorts. A
few soup signs hung over the recruit
ing depots will bring them. This type
however. is not wanted by Major-Gen-
eral J. Franklin Bell. His idea is that
the way to make an army efficient is
by work.
Our army of today is less like the
army of '9S than the army of '9S was
like the army of Andrew Jackson's
day. A man who felt at home in its
ranks five years ago feels somewhat
a stranger today. No other army in
the world has undergone such a
change. The Germans heritage lies
across the same old frontiers; the
Britisher looks toward India and CO.

reduced as much more. For the first
time in twenty-five years the court of
common pleas Of this county opened its
term of court the first Monday in May
without a criminal case. The city
courts, created for the express purpose
of trying petty suits for the collection
of rents and grocery bills, which form
erly were crowded with a black docket
every day, have now practically no
business. for the reason that people are
paying their bills instead of being sued
for them. A year ago this city was
trying to devise ways and means to
our city jails. Today the doors of the
city Jail swing idly upon their hinges.
and we have no use for those we have.
One year ago not to exceed two bust
ness on the principal thoroughfares of
this city would have favored the clos
ing of the saloons. Today there are
not two who would favor opening
them up, showing a wonderful revolu-
ton in public sentiment. Twice since
the saloons were closed we have held
city election, at which the issue was
presented to the people, and at each
election the people have Endorsed pres
ent conditions. Every banker is loud
in praise of the present situation; the
city is clean: crime is at a minimum
merchants prosperous; real estate adj

The foregoing offers a splendid
problem for the thoughtful of all COM
munities. 1t has generally been sup
posed that putting the lid on city
meant falling off in business, yet
Kansas City's example shows the re-
verse to be true. Kansas City lost the
revenues from $50 saloon licenses and
made up for it by reducing the cost IF
prosecuting criminals $4,000 per an
mum besides saving the same amount

about balance the other. On the pro-
fit side of the community's ledger, how
ever, appear the following items:

public schools, therefore better and
more enlightened prospective citizens.
a two-thirds reduction in demands for
aid from charitable institutions, there
fore, corresponding increase in self
reliant citizens; only two boys in one
year sent to the reformatory, whereas
formerly from 10 to % were sent up
annually, therefore greatly reducing
the number of prospective criminals:
practically no business in city courts
created especially for the purpose of
trying petty suits for the collection of
rents and bills, therefore, a saving of
thousands of dollars every year to Kan
sas City merchants for collection and

sense of responsibility towards settling
their just debts; greater bank and saw
