from Kansas and other prohibition

in favor of prohibition were those

Writer Declares That Out OF Action

In many respects the orientals are
our antithesis, and II our ideals, Drin-
ciples, and institutions are more
benefcient, we are under obligation
TO present them. There should be no
collision between the Mongol and the
Anglo,Saxon races, but instead there
should be fusion Out Of this fusion
there should emerge a better race.
We can learn much from the various
people of the orient which would be
beneficial to ourselves, and while we
receive from them We are able TO
contribute the one great principle of
tho Anglo-SaXon race, namely, liberty.
Every race that has come into power
and prominence has stood for some
great, overmastering idea. That for
which We stand and which Is the great
touchstone Of our great national life is
liberty It is for our nation, as the
great western wing of the Anglo-Saxon
race. to join in the extension of this
principle. and also to bear the mes
