Perhaps fortunately, the saloon, whenever it re-

called upon to make an exhibit of its true charac-

legal fight, the last saloon was lawfully closed
Mr.. r. " MUIR, veteran Prohibitionst, has
been prominent in the fight and the saloon SYM
pathzers have bombarded his house with bricks
and stones and fired shots through his windows
as result. Mr. MUIR is to be congratulated upon
the testimony to his excellent work and the sa-

FRAUD AGAINST KANSAS
How the Census Figures Are Made to Dis
credit Prohibition State in Matter of
Crime

TOPEKA, KANSAS, March 10 Especial CORE
spondence) To-day representative of The Ma
tiondl ProhibitiomSt called the attention of the
Hon. e. f. Denton, secretary of state of Kan
sas, to the representations which are being made
concerning criminality in this state upon the basis
of the United States Census
Mr. Denton declared that the figures do Kan
sas great injustice and seriously msrepresent
the situation here
Not only is the United States prison improperly
included, but between three and four hundred
prisoners who belong to Oklahoma and have been
confined in the Kansas penitentiary owing to the
lack of prison facilities in that new state have
evidently been counted in by parties who are
anxious to give Kansas bad reputation
By the report of the warden of the state peni-
tertiary, for February 20, 1908, there are s12
prisoners confined in the penitentiary, exclusive
of the Oklahoma prisoners. In addition to this,
there are, in round numbers, three hundred Young
and boys confined in the reformatory at
Hutchinson, 1t is impossible to obtain an exact
statement of the number of prisoners in the jas
of Kansas 1t is not believed here at the state
capital that there 221 such prisoners, as the
Census tables would show; but, assuming that
there are, and adding these to the prisoners in
the reformatory and the state penitentiary, Kan
sas is found to have 1888 prisoners instead of
the 2,S76 with which the Census discredits her.
The population of the state of Kansas, accord
ing to the state census, is 1,612,471. This would
give Kansas slightly more than 80 prisoners to
the one hundred thousand of population instead
of 1913, the number with which the United States
Census charges the state.
According to the Census, the bulletin has
been examined here today, between 1890 and 1904
the prison population of Kansas increased from
1851 prisoners per one hundred thousand inhabt
ants to 1888.
In point of fact, in 1890 the population of this
state was 1923, 4S5 At the close of that year
there were confined in the state penitentiary $50
prisoners. In 1904 the population of the state
1885 100, while the number of prisoners confined
in the penitentiary only 7S9.

1.-THE TEMPERANCE LESSON"
Teaching March 20 1908 ON BROAD
View of Truths 5000 Years Old
F. F
By WILLIAM P. F. FERGUSON

The Temperance Sunday school lesson for
March 20, 1908, has as its text seven verses from
the twenty-third chapter of the book of Proverbs
The gist of the passage is found in two verses of
the text
Look thou not upon the wine when it is red
When it sparkleth in the cup
When it goeth down smoothly:
For at the last it biteth like serpent,
And stingeth like adder
There are two ways in which we may teach
this lesson. We may content ourselves with en-
forcing the precepts of abstinence from strong
drink and may follow the lesson notes of the
various "helps' through their explanations of
the verses of the lesson, Illuminating the refer
ences to the effects of drink, and the calamties
that come from indulgence in intoxicants. In
that way may say many things that are per-
fecty true and, in certain sense, are valuable.
They just true today as they were three
thousand years ago, when Solomon wrote them,
and the world has known Them more or less
distinctly, all the thirty centuries. What is more,
practically every scholar in every Sunday school
of the country has as much information upon
the question as Solomon had, and the majority
of them, from scientific standpoint vastly more.
Yet that is the way to teach the lesson harm
",
that is concerned, without any particular good to
anyone.
Very few scholars are to be found in any
of Our Sunday schools who need anything that in
structon and teaching of the precept sort can give
them, concerning the evils of liquor drinking.
The other way of teaching the lesson is to go
at the root of things.
Three thousand years ago Solomon knew that
alcoholic drink bites like serpent and stngs
like an adder. Probably most of the people of
his day shared the knowledge with him. Yet
the world, from that day to this, has gone on,
egalizing the serpent's nest and contenting itself
with more or less earnest efforts to ''regulate'
the serpent's biting
In this year of Grace, 1908, we will read the
passage over again to the boys in Our Sunday
of us willard deliberately authorize men to
open serpents dens Of course, we will hedge
them about with provisos and conditions, but, to
all intents and purposes, will frankly say to
them: after you have complied with these CON
ditions, you may bite these Sunday school boys
of ours to the destruction of their bodies and
souls and the blighting of their lives here and
hereafter
OF course we do all this and say all this, upon
a ballot and part of it is written in ink that is
invisibe-when you have on good partizan, or
omni-partizan eye-shades It's there none the
less we say it, none the less; and the thing
comes to pass.
"Oh, but" says the good conservative Chris
tan, who objects to mixing religion and politics.

proves nothing for Prohibition but certainly
