Better Sentiment
Prevails

Judge Alleman, after a careful ia
vestlgation o f the whiskey matter,
has decided that it may be well TO
get along without permits for while
and has asked all druggists to send
in their permits by April first.
Surely the world does move and
public sentiment on this subject has
undergonea great change in a few
years.
The judge does his duty as he sees
it, fearless y. Judge Alleman has been
very conservative in this matter and
given the druggists every show but
when it became apparent that they
were violating the spirit and essence
OF the law constantly he SIMPLY
called halt.

EVELYN to be Divorced

1t now transpires that Evelyn
Thaw is to be divorced. Wonder
where the inspiration for this move
originates. 1t seems wrong that
Evelyn, after standing by her way

troubles, should now turn her back
upon him. Now, however, she will
attain the great ambition of her

sacrifice!

STRING THEM UP

Rev. Pulliam stirred up the ami
mails again, last Sunday. night.
Pulliam handles this whiskey ques-
ton without gloves an d says about
what he thinks, regardless OF who
may like or dislike his remarks.
His own parisheners come IN for a
share of his criticism when they do
not stand up to the rack. HIS
talks are of the most radical kind
and are calculated to make men
think.
He takes the bold stand that the
druggists of this city simply secure
their permits to sell Intoxicating
liquors under the provisions of the
prohibitory law, as blind for run
ming saloons, and argues that the
great number of applications they
file with the Probate Judge is suftl-
cient evidence of their bad faith.
A great many of the best cit'zthS
of Chanute agree with Rev. Pulliam
in this matter and have signed
petition to the Probate court asking
that all permits in this city be re-
voked. Many think that the
preacher is entirely too radical and
that he will not accomplish his ends
SO readily as by a less open night.
But Rev. Pulliam sees in this busi-
ness a radical evil and considers it
his duty to combat it the same as
any other crime. He is not built
on the lines of the preacher who
only deals in generalitles and speaks
to please rather than to call atten'
ton to immediate wrongs that ex-
list.
Pulliam seems to have incurred
the displeasure Of some cowardly
wretch who has sent him an anony-
nous abusive and threatening letter,
This letter he read from the pulpit
and Immediately the trustees offered
a reward of S2oo for the discovery
of its author, and individuals ran
the reward up to over $500. Should
the ehappie be caught he would find
out few thing not just to his lik-
ixg.
The days of the saloon are num-
bered IN Kansas if not in the United
States. A wonderful wave OF re-
form is sweeping over the country
and localities and states most an
thought of are abolishing the sa-
loon. We believe this time It has
come to stay and that that there
will be no going back. AS was re-
marked ON the streets by promi-
net business man a few days age,
ort has only been a few years since
it was very unpopular for nao to
advocate prohibition, now it is

Gates whiskey is the unpopular one
If Rev. Pulliam Is little radical,
he is radical ON the side OF law and
order and deacency.

HOME AND IT'S INFLU-
ENCE

In a series of sermons upon the
subject of Ideal Homes, delivered
by Charles M. Sheldon, he empha-
sized the parents duty and their
! responsibility for the child in the
following impressive manner:
81 can not remember myself any
time in my own boyhood wnen there
was any place either in country or
city which had greater pulling
power in the way of genuine attrac-
ton than my own home, l am sure
we could never boast of any super
fluffy of riches. We lived in log
house of two rooms for several
years We had what would be called
the necessities of life, but beyond
that a very small margin. We were
all working people. The father
worked in the field and the mother
in the kitchen, and the boys In both
places; and can not recall single
condition in the way Of counter
attraction which at any time rivaled
In our thought the attraction of the
home. And this leads naturally to
statement of the things which
make homes attractive whether they
be built up around great possess
ions or few.
at Is astonifhing how many
things there are in this world which
do not have to be bought, which
minister to the souls development,
and allure it by their beauty and
their interest. If one lives in the
country there is the whole study of
nature. I knew ohe farmers family
in Vermont, that had no more pos
sessions than any other, on a bleak
hillside farm, where the children
were trained from infancy to love
the things which belonged to Gods
world. They studied flowers and
leaves and acorns, and the habits of
animals. Three of these children
graduated from ChautaUqua
course.
"They we're six miles from post
office and two hundred miles from
Boston. A family in the adjoining
township with the same opportunity
missed it altogether. The children
ofthat farmer could be found loa6ng
around the little grocery store in
town, spending their evenings in
sensetess gossip with other neigh
bors, growing up ignorant and ILL
terats. They plowed the fields, but
never studied the soil; they talked
about the weather, but never knew
what made the clouds. The family
of which I spoke first drew in its
culture and made the home attrac-
tsve at the minimum OF cost. They
saved what strength they had after
the toll of the day for the culture Of
their minds, and found that, after
all, they had surplus with wise
economy. In spite of the weakness

WHEN WE GO TO TOWN.

There isn't time during the
year that something can't be pro-
duced Oh the farm that can be
sold for cash, says the DeKalb
Press. The farmer who bears this
in mind and plans his years work
with the idea to sell something for
cash every month-every time he
goes to town, in fact-isn't ever
hurt by panics, tax collectors or
sheriffs. Dry goods merchants, or
merchants of any kind, don't stay
III business and work twelve
months in the year just to sell
goods for sixty or ninety days of
that time. They plan ahead. They
buy goods for all seasons, and do
business all the time. That's bust
ness, too. The farmer can do bust
ness twelve months in the year if
he wants to, and he ought to
want to.

SELF.RELIANT GIRL.
q. S. Martin, in Success Magazine

Il. S. Martin, in Success Magazine.)
The chief end of doctors ID to
teach people to keep we'll with the
minimum of doctorlng. The chief
end of authority is to qualify peo-
pie for self-government. The chief
end of parents and schools is to
train children in wisdom and
knowledge, that they may be able
to take care of themselves. That
has long been understood in it's re-
iation to boys. The idea of edu-
cation for boys is to train them
free, and wise enough to thrive on
freedom. AS fast as they can bear
it, we put upon them increased re-
sponsi5ility for their own conduct,
and their own use of time and of
money. What we want of them
finally is not merely to respond
with docility to the care that is
taken for them, but gradually to
become qualified to take care of
somebody else. And steadily and
rapidly our civilization has been
coming to have like attitude to-
ward girls. They are not boys in
skirts, but very different crea-
lures; their needs are different,
their ideal work in life is different,
the processes of education which
seem most profitable for them are
different; but in them, too, we
grow more and more solicitous to
develop the capacity to take care
of themselves and eventually of
others; to develop, indeed, all pos
sible capacities that are not IN
compatible with one another, and
with the highest, best and most
important destiny that life holds
for girls.

One of the most striking 70.
mances of wealth that has come to
public notice recently is the story
of the career of the late "banana
king" Lorenzo Dow Baker, whose
will was probated at Boston the
other day. Baker originated the
banana trade between Caribbean
ports and the United States about
forty years ago, when his fortune
amounted to what effects, as a
small schooner's captain, he could
carry about in ditty-box, But
the American people wanted ba.
nanas, and Baker found way to
provide them. He organized the
banana trust, and was shrewd
enough to remain at the head of it.
When he died some days ago, il
was estimated that he was worth
something like 81 100000. When
his will was probated and his estate
appraised, it was learned that he
was worth $4,000, 0O0-practical.

1t is alleged by representatives
of the meat trust that the reason
for the high price of beef is she
high price of corn. It has been
pointed out in a number of in
stances that very little of the beef
cattle that are killed in summer
ever sees corn, and more especially
when the price of that commodity
is high. With corn at or around
so cents, it is more profitable for
the producers to market it as grain
than as meat; besides which, steers
fatten more rapidly in warm
weather on growing green food
than on grain, so that cattleman
would be foolish to feed his stock
on corn at loss, when they would
do better Oh growing green at a
profit. The conclusion seems rea-
sonable that the meat trust runs
up the ptlce of its products merely
because it wants to grab oil of the
money it can squeeze out of con-
sumers, and that it gives queer
reasons for high prices by way OF
offering sop to the Cerberus Of
public opinion.

world can get along very well with.
out US. We may be filling a very
important and useful place in the
church and in society, but when
we are gone someone will fill it
just as we'll, and may be quite q
good deal better. We should ever
fill our station to the best of our
ability, not forgetting that God
has given us work to do. But the
SUI will rise and set after we are
gone just as it does now. The tides
will ebb and flow, and the stars
shine just as brightly. Men will
go about their work as confidently
as though we had never been. The
trains will come in on schedule
time, and the office doors will be
opened at the usual hours. This
may be somewhat humbling to our
pride, but it should exalt our pur-
pose i'll things that are more en-.
during. 1t should more frequently
turn the thoughts away to su-
blimer things. There are greater
men today than yesterday, and
there will be greater tomorrow
