Why CARRIE NATi0N7

What business have chautauqua
managers forcing Carrie Nation on the
public as an attraction? There is but
one excuse for exploiting Mrs. Ma
ton, and that poor one from the
public point of view. The saloon
smasher is of the freak order and adds
to receipts at the box office.
Chautauquas are presumed to be
educational and inspirational In their
accomplishments. A tendency to in
augurate side show attractions, altho
small, has brought upon chautauqua
arrangements in general some severe
criticism, all OF which has not been
deserved. Mrs. Nation is an over-zeal-
Gus, ignorant woman, whose prejudices
have unbalanced her reason on certain
subjects. Her methods react on the
good women and men whose cause she
processes to represent. AS a reformer
her work is detrimental to the we'll
fare Of temperance and morality. She
is boisterous and uncouth, and lacks
womanly refinement that the better
class of chautauqua patrons have a
right to insist upon. She can teach
nothing, unless 1t be to engage in the
Illegal destruction OF property and the
use of unrefined language.
Mrs. Nation came ito Des Moines and
among other things threatened to tear
the clothing from the person of any
woman who might appear in some OF
the late models decreed by fashion
which would. of course, be an indecent
act. She threatened other persons and
things, gave the yellow journals an
opportunity to print lengthy inter-
views and drew her stipend from the
chautauqua management. She accom-
plished nothing.
Mrs. Nation, Ben Tillman and few
others ought to be left to the Bar
nuns and the Ringlings Chautau-
quas were inspired for the accom-
plishments of other results than as
surfing profits to the promoters.

Public Men.oss to Morality.

(Erom the New YORK LliHe6sJ 81
Perhaps 1t is waste Of words q
moralize over social scandals, but each
new domestic upheaval In what =
called our best society (meaning our
wealthiest) exerts an evil infiunece 20
far beyond its source that the impulse
to plead for a higher standard Of mors
ais among the richest people is hard e
resist. It must be admitted that little
good has resulted from the most earns
est remonstrance in the past The
young lions Of society, in many iIl%
stances, continue to conduct theme
selves as II they were unconscious s.
any public duty incumbent upon them,
as IL they were unaware that the posi-.
ton they hold, by the grace Of the
community, carries an influence which.
il exerted for evil. menaces the very
existence of the social order. Yst this
lis the plain truth. 81.

TRAVEL GOING DRY.

of a dry state to keep him sufficiently
fabricated until he reached the other
side of the state, and in some cases the
porters would serve on trains regard
less of the prohibitory laws of the state
thru which the trains were passing.
but a great change is coming about
so that the migratory individual who
longs for the liquid ''life saver seems
to face a strong likelihood of his throat
remaining parched in the temperance
states the same as the man who is ma
rooned on the dry grounds. Not long
ago the Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy
railroad system gave out the informa-
ton that it had decided to dispense
with all liquor selling on it's trains
while they were running thru the state
of Iowa.
Now comes notice from the Pullman
company that it will no longer operate
buffet bars on wheels in the state OF
illinois, This step on the part or the
company is due to the rapidly increas-
ing number of prohibition counties In
s&ot tho Pullman
company makes a move of this kind
If is OF much more significance than
if one road were to take the initiative,
for the Pullman company operates on
nearly all the railroads in furnishing
sleeping. parlor and dining cars. with
their accomplishments OF sideboards or
blffets-polite terms for bars.
The company finds that 1t can not
consistently obey the various county
laws when its bar rooms are jumping
from county to county at SO miles an
hour. The loss alone on the lines be-
tween st. Louis and Chicago. which
carry probably large bulk of the
point to point travel in Illinois Will
( be considerable, but the company finds
that 1t must obey the law.
1t looks as II the movement against
the consumption of intoxicating liquors
would eventually force every man to
carry his own sideboard. Travelling
men will no doubt find it compare
lively little trouble at first to carry
with them a flask or bottle or what
ever reservoir they choose for the
transportation of their good cheer"
but they will gradually tire OF this, II,
indeed, laws are not made to prevent
any and all drinking on trains Hence
the present is a good time for the rail-
roads to fall into line and make rule
to prohibit travellers drinking intoxl-
eating liquors in day coaches. This
filthy and inconsiderate habit works
|! for great discomfort to other passen-
gers by its sloppiness and it's befouiing
of the air which all must breathe.
Then too, there always follows the OBJ
scenity of the beguzzled individual and
general nuisance of the practice.

a room on the opposite side Of the

George B. Edwards, who is now a Judge
in Russellville, KY.
The Taft-Edwards room was a pop

nind-the lights were kept burning la

there was not much noise. And. then
1T was the business Of the proctor to
see what was doing.
But the funny thing about it was
that he could never find anything do

there only "Bill" and his roommate
were visible, and they were studying
