Forty-Five Per Cent of the
People Are Free
from Saloons.
PRESBYTER!ANS HEAR REPORT
Temperance Committee Says 81
100000 People Now Live
in DRY" Regions.
Church Members Warned to Refrain
from the Liquor Traffic and Every
thing Which Helps to En-
courage 1t.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 29.-"Eight
million six hundred thousand people
abolished the saloon last year, includ-
ing four entire states. The seven pro-
hibitiOn states have population Of
over 100000 while 27,OOO,OOO more
live in other prohibition territory, max
ing about 45 per cent of the total pop
ulation of the United States free from
the hlighting influence of the saloon.
"Of the thirty-four legislatures in
session last year, twenty passed laws
unfavorable to the liquor traffic, while
not a legislature has been in session
the present year that has not had one
or more temperance bills before it.
Where Victories Are Won.
''In recent years no legislation IA
vorable to the liquor traffic has been
enacted"
Such is the language in which the
progress of the temperance movement
in the United States was reported to
the general assembly Of the Presby-
terian church.
1t was shown that the victories Of
the opponents of the traffic was not
confined to rural districts, but such
cities as Kansas City, Kan; Atlanta.
Ca: Birmingham, Ala, and Worcester,
Mass, each with population Of over
100000. Ten other cities OF over 50,-
600. twenty-five over 10000, and seven
ty-six having between 5000 and 90
600 have banished the saloon.
----- Legal Status of Traffic.
The temperance committed reported
that while there was time when
more states than at present had pro-
hibitory laws, more than twice as
many people now live under prohibit
ton as at any previous time in the
history of tAe United States.
The committee referred to the legal
status Of the traffic, citing a decision
of the supreme court Of the United
States to the effect that mo man has
an inherent right to sell intoxicating
liquor at retail" 1t said also that
some lower courts had declared all
liquor traffic unconstitutional.
Warning to Church Members.
Church members were warned not
only to refrain from the traffic, but
from everything which helped to encour
age 1t. The aim of the temperance
work was given as twofold; first, to
keep people away from strong drink,
and second, to keep strong drink away
from the people. Continuing the COM
nlittee reported:
1.-THE latter may be accomplished by
law, so Far as men can be made to re-
spect and obey law. The former must
be done mainly by education. moral

Bryan Publicly Kissed By
Two New York Women.

New York, Oct. 26.-William Jen-
nings Bryan was Hobsonized by a
throng of enthusiastic members of
the Women's Democratic Club at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel this after
noon when he appeared in the Astor
gallery to make speech.
He was two hours late, muddy and
breathless and just in from Pater-
son when he hustled into the room
and ran against the surprise of his
life. A sweet. young thing, wearing
directoire gown. kissed him on the
cheek and almost put his eye out
with the rim of her hat. all simulta-
neously.
AS she disengaged herself a plump
lady, with white feather boa about
her shoulders, made a leap for the
candidate, hung herself on him and
planted a kiss on the end of his nose
that sounded like Roger Bresnahan
catching foul tip. Half a dozen
other women were rushing for Bry-
an with full determination of kiss
ing him.
Mrs. Bryan stood up in her stage
box and looked curiously at the mix
ture. Mr.. Bryan, red and embar-
raised, looked as though he was
ready to cut and run.

IN MISSISSIPPI.

To the Editor of The World:
Upon the first appearance Of trou-
Bile in Mississippi published notice
was given that the local authorities
should meet such criminals when
ever and wherever they appeared
with every power in their command,
and that the State was ready and
willing. if the local ability to ham
die the situation was doubtful, to
promptly extend whatever aid might
be needed to overcome force by
force, if necessary, and that if such
aid was not ample, the civil and mil
itary help of the Federal Govern
ment would be quickly invoked; that
criminals, by actual or threatened
crime should not be permitted to
dictate in the least the policy of Mis-
sissippi nor of any of it's citizens.
Beyond mailing or posting annoy
ing threats against gins and ginners
the crime of night riders has not
gone. According to the best avail
able information, there was no or
ganization of night riders in this
State, except in small locality and
Of limited membership, and that
was practically abandoned before
perpetrating any overt act. having
been closely watched. Written
threats in other localities emanated
from irresponsible criminals, appar-
emily, who have been deferred from
further action by the overwhelming
and bitterly hostile sentiment pre-
dominant in every county in Missis-
sippi.
Four men have been arrested,
charged with anonymous threats.
One of them was sent to the peni-
Tertiary and the other three are
awaiting action of the courts and I'M
der bond. What little fear the move
ment aroused here has subsidized.
Citizens of Mississippi realize that
mob rule leads from one crime to
others, and that outlaws who re-
sort to masks and darkness will nat
urally follow their criminal instincts
into any sort of crime and put the
best citizenship at the mercy of the
worst.
