HAVE THEIR SERVANTS PROBLEM. TOO
The Right Hon John Burns. speaking the other
day in his capacity member OF the British
Cabinet and president of the Local Govern
rnent Board. made the amazing assertion. based
official returns the effect that there at the
present moment less than fifty thousand va
cant houses in London. representing, according to
conservative figures $50 900 dead capital in bricks
and mortar. without any allowance for the land
on which they stand.
IF ! call attention q this fact, il is because Mr.
Burns declares that Of the principal causes
Of this extraordinary condition OF affairs is,
cordinE common consent, the servant problem
And this servant problem, he insists, is attrbuta
bic not so much the difficulty OF finding good
servants as 70 the !ncompetenCy of the present
day mistresses TO manage their domesucs. Owing
II this, fats and hotels are preferred to houses
From this it Will be that the United States
is not alone in having 10 confront the domestic
service difficulty. and that Englishwomen espe-
cially those of the upper and lower middle classes
are by common consent officially proclaimed by
member of the government quite as incompetent 70

THE POPULATION OF KANSAS.

In your Thursdays issue, a writer on the prohibition question makes the statement that increase of prosperity may be gauged by increase of pUpula- tion." which may be true. but let not your readers be deluded into the belief that a decrease of 90.000 in the popu- lation of "the fertile state of Kansas" was caused by tine whitening blight of prohibition" nor even by the flight of s0.O0O drunkards, but by the opening to settlement of Oklahoma, which of fered new inducements for the ever progressive spirit of the indomitable Kansan. always ready to grasp the golden opportunity when presented.
 Notwithstanding the whitening blight of prohibition Kansas is still in evidence spreading its blight-whose results are fat bank accounts, farms and homes free from mortgages. pro gress. theft and industry on every hand. with jail doors creaking on hinges rusty from disuse in Kansas City as shown by Assistant State At torney Trickett in an article in your issue of Tuesday last; wherein he gives official statistics of that city laboring under "the blight of prohibition we'll calculated to give joy to the heart of every one, who reads and reading ac- cepts the great truth in spite of the threadbare assertion that prohibition win not prohibit" by people who have never tried prohibition and never all lowed themselves to view intelligently and honestly those who have tried it; of the 9O. 900 who decreased the popula- tion of Kansas at the time designated. by your correspondent, a sufficient number reached Oklahoma to secure a prohibition clause for nineteen years. in it's constitution when it was admitted to statehood. so it would seem the whitening blight" had not affected them so seriously, but they were glad to give 1t a fair trial, in the new state of Oklahoma which is in the onward march Of prosperity and progression. and should the voters of this county have any honest doubts ns to the re- suits of prohibition, let them get facts regarding these two states and the results of prohibition. and turn a deaf ear, to the worn out harangues, and misquoted arguments of drunkards in favor of whiskey and its beneficial re- suits and return a solid majority for prohibition. without fear of famine. pestilence, and financial ruin resulting thereby.

WHERE PROHIBITION
 HAS BEEN ENFORCED
Statements Regarding the Operation
 of the Law in Maine and North Ds-
 kota.

The prohibition law is thoroughly enforced in nine-tenths of Maine and would be in the rest if 1t were not for liquor politicians who control the re- publican and democratic parties in Portland and a few other cities.
 The administration of Sheriff Pear son in Portland, 1900 to 1902, the only prohibition party law-enforcer Manic ever had, proved that prohibition will prohibit. wherever there is an honest man in office behind the law.
 General Neal Dow testified that Maine, at the time of her adoption of state prohibition in 1855, was" to use his own words, "One of the most drunken and poorest of states in the union, there being seven distillerles and two breweries in Portland alone.
 In 1885 there were only five savings banks in Maine, with less than s90, 900 deposited
 In 1902 there were 57 savings banks, 22 building and loan associations, and 37 trust companies with deposits az gregating more than s113,000,000.
 In 1901 statistics showed that while her population since 1850 had increased only 20 per cent, her valuation per cap ita had increased 252 per cent. Maine had in her savings banks in the same year s95.22 for every inhabitant
 Turning to educational figures, Maine has in it's public schools the largest percentage of the total popula- = tion Of all the North Atlantic states including New York.
 Maine has more school teachers to

A CARD FROM MIR. BATES.

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir:
 Your criticism of my card to you in your issue of the sth inst. did not come to my notice for several days af ter. IL seems that you are iaboring under the impression that I am con- federated with others. in a general boy colt of your paper. I acted individually and have no acquaintance whatever with the party whose name you asso- ciated with mine. However l take it for granted that he is altogether worthy. and has the right ideas of citizenship and I also am persuaded that there are very many others that would have act ed as l did had they carried out their honest convictions as to their duty to their homes and to society. I am free to admit that very many good con- scientious people doubted the pro- priety of even local prohibition. This idea was largely due to jealosuy be- tween extreme political rivals. and the influence of a powerful liquor organi- zation that caused each party to make platforms favorable to their interests. But of late these false theories have been overcome and no longer Is an or ganized whiskey dealers association able to mislead society by a subsidized press. I use the word subsidized be- cause of the fact that no one miscon- strues the meaning. If the wholesalers and retailers, dealers of liquor, were to cease to publish and disseminate testi- monials that are misleading and far from reliaf 2 not only would this city, but all Otl-er whiskey cursed sections would be swift to crush this blighting curse.
 As to the ecclesiastical worthy that you quote-don't you think they are hopelessly in the minority. It has been said that the voice of the people is the voice of God. Logically if that is so this one half dozen clergy arrayed against all the clergy of the world, must use the voice of the devil As to the support of schools by saloons. don't you really think that you are trying to dignify something that doesn't even claim dignity for itself; they only claim to finger to curse society by per- init, exactly as do houses of i'll fame exist in many localities. This is no offense to anyone-because morality breeds culture and whisky and sin walk hand in hand and breed only crime. No MT. Editor you nor I nor any one else, not even the saloonist want your children to frequent those haunts. )f sin because we know that it's only a school to finish pupils for jails and p,nitentiaries.
 As O whiskey interest-it has long been admitted that crime is an outlaw and las no legal home. The man may not be outlawed but his business may and ought. and all that he has to do is to quit shining against his fel- lows'. turn his hand to a worthy occu- patton then will he be as guiltless as we who licensed him to commit this wrong.
 l. this election should carry then you
