The editor of the New York Independent recently invited
his readers to write down their experiences and observa
tons bearing the question: 'Does prohibition prohbt?'
Letters from every part of the country pouring in,
favorng and opposing the prohbitory method
of dealing with the saloon
In it's issue of July % the Independent prints sufficient
number of these letters to indicate the drift OF things and
in its editorial comment says:
'Does prohibition prohibit? OF course it does not of

1T is of to tell that there much drunken

of the greatest banquets in the his
tory of the Masons of Topeka. The
Scottish Rite banquet room in the Ma
sonic temple capable of accommodate
ing 1900 people was filled and not
only the feast of luXurieS was enjoyed
but a feast of reason and wit, ex-
plotted by some of the prominent men
in the city was also appreciated.
1t was a great evening for the Ma
sons as they had just finished a sue
cessful spring reunion in which al
most fifty members had been given
the brilliant secret rights of the or
ders and they had with them last
night, their wives, their mothers, their
daughters-and their sweethearts.
The big orchestra commenced play
ing at $50 sharp and the big banquet
room glowed with lights and decora-
tions. This is the first time the hall
its artistic decorating. The color ef-
feet is most charming with an artistic
touch chaste and elegant.
The big hall is furnished with long,
wide banquet tables, large comfort
able chairs-an accomm odation that
very few organizations can boast. On
the table was a full line of American
china decorated with the special To-
peka consistory crest and a CORES
ponding line of glassware and silver
ware.
What They Had to Eat
The sight was a beautiful one as
the twelve hundred ladies and gentle
men marched into the banquet room
through the arched decorated door
ways and down the cozy aisles. After
a prayer from one of the brothers,
the immense 'throng sat down for the
heavily loaded four course menu
which consisted of the following pal
atable substances:
Pineapple
Pickles Olives RadlSheS
Turkey with Dressing eoo4s
Warm Rolls
Coffee
Fruit Salad on Sliced Tomatoes.
Lettuce Mayonnaise Cheese Waters
NeaDolitan Ice Cream
Macaroons and Fancy Cakes
Fruits Coffee
The Feast of Reason.
When the feast had been served and
the continuous orchestra music had
