leading manufacturer of Topeka,
Kansas, on a visit to southern Cal
ifornia. One more illustration: Wor-
cester, Massachusetts, after abandon
ing prohibition, took up the local
option idea, and the largest city of
the state to go under local option was
Worcester; that has been under local
option now for about year. Last
March, 1909, the chief of police or
Worcester certified that there were
shipped into the city by express and
freight 18,91Ok cases of beer, 1913
kegs Of beer, 5455 gallons Of liquor;
in dry town. 1t doesn't seem to
me as though Worcester had gone so
very dry after all. l say, my friends,
that they can not bring forth a sin
gle illustration of place where pro-
hibition has been tried where it has
not failed. Now, 1 don't advocate
drinking whisky; I pity the drunkard
just as l pity the dyspeptic Or the
coffee drinker or the glutton who
eats too much at his meals; any one
who is Incorporate I pity. l do not
pity the drunkard any more than I
pity the other unfortunates whose ap-
petites are so great as to lead them
astray; but are you going to con-
denim the liquor, whiskey or wine, for
the weakness of one man In thou
sand? Are you going to assail the
God-given liberty of American citi-
zenship because once in while you
find a man so weak that he sur
renders to his own weaknesses?
There are honest saloon keepers;
there are bad saloon keepers; there
are good saloon keepers; there are
good saloons as we'll as bad saloons,
and / say the bad saloons should be

Is no man that know of more an
xious to put the bad saloons out of

the country. The good saloon keeper
does not want a drunkard around his
place, he drives away respectable
trade, he keeps respectable people
from patronizing the saloons SO long
as he is in one. The saloon keeper

does not want a drunken man around
his place, and does not as a rule en-
courage a man to get drunk. If there
are men weak enough, men who can
not control their passions, men who
will make beasts of themselves, that
can not be helped. One writer has
recently said that in certain respects
whisky was the greatest good that
humanity had ever had, and he gave
ar extraordinary reason for it. He
said that science had failed to dis
close a single case or single instance
in which whisky had made a murder
er or brute; it had simply dis
closed the native instince that was
in the man before he was aware Of
its being disclosed against him; that
it threw the man off his guard and
made him who he really was. And 1
don't know when I come to analyze
it but that there is a good deal of
truth and merit in it. In thus having
a man disclose his own real weakness
that he can be cared for, even against
his own will, / believe in temper
ancet I believe that the great cause
of temperance has been terribly hurt
by the attempts to foist prohibition
upon the American people. Prohibi-
ton has stopped temperance and
temperance is great boon to civili-
cation. Prohibition is joke, my
friends, wherever it has been tried
IT has become a laughing stock and
10y word Do you mean to tell me
that the people of Kansas don't know
what is going on, when the whole
country is laughing to scorn over the
matter? They do. The subject has
become a laugh, it has become a
great practical joke in government
Reason number two: There Is a
better remedy than prohibition for
the evils of the saloon, and that rem
edy, my friends, Is regulation. High
license and strick regulation. 1t has
been tried in Milwaukee. it is being
tried in New York, 1t Is being tried
in Chicago, and all the great centers
and cities In this country, and strict
regulation is giving the best results.

moment aga, in Chicago has reduced
the arrests for drunkenness one in
1879 That alone shows that strict
regulation will bring about the de-
sired results. One of the most strik-
ing illustrations | think of this ques-
tiCn of regulation is given by the
United States army experience in the
abolition of the canteen. A few years
ago some of our strong prohibition
friends advocated the abolition of the
canteen. What is the army canteen?
Well, it is certain place conducted
under the supervision of the officers
of the camps where men could buy
beer and other good wholesome
liquor. They were permitted to go
to this particular place and buy what
they wanted Drunkenness was al
most unknown, but when they abol-
ished the canteen, blind pigs were
started up around every government
camp; soldiers would break away, go
to these brothels and stay away for
days and nights at a time and be sent
to the guard house, their money all
spent. Finally it was seen that
something would have to be done to
regulate the liquor traffic and the
canteen has been restored. and the
soldier is today a better man. Cap
plause.)
The third reason which l gave
you was that prohibition Is un-Amer-
lean and contrary to the Declaration
of Independence That, my friends,
in my judgment. is the greatest of all
six reasons. What was it that gave
us the Boston tea party? know that
Mr. Doty quoted the Boston tea
PARTY in his speech here the other
night, and he said that ever since the
Boston tea party reform had been
going on. Oh, my friends. how can
any one engaged in trying to secure
the enactment of a prohibitory law
quote the Boston tea party or quote
the Declaration Of Independence? To
my mind it is sacrilege of the high
est order for them to do so, amount
ing almost to blasphemy. The Bos-
ten tea party came about because OF
a tax on tea, being an imposition by

the British government Of tax on
tea. stamp to be placed upon every
package of tea, and the young mea
of Boston rebelled against the idea of
taxation without representation as
an infringement on their personal
liberty, and that was the beginning
of the great revolutionary movement
in this country The spirit that gave
rise to the Boston tea party is the
spirit that will save us today by those
people who were noncombatants then
and have been noncombatants in
every issue since. (Applause.) I
think hear them say, as a man said
once when he heard me make that
statement. DO you mean to say that
the war of the revolution was fought
to protect saloons?' No, 1 never said
anything of the kind; but said that
it didn't make any difference whether
it was saloon or what it was as long
as it represented the one great thing.
liberty 1t must be protected; 1t Is
better that an evil should exist tenn
perate in its nature, than that the
grea principle Of liberty should be
attacked by any one. Liberty is why
we are free country; liberty Is the
cause. the sole cause of our free
dom; liberty is the sole cause of the
war that brought about freedom. and
unless we safeguard liberty. we lose
that for which we were born as a ma
ton. And don't you see every day
on every side the Entertainments that
are made against us, not alone in
prohibition, but in a hundred differ
ent ways that I could point out to
you. A little encroachment here and
little one there. gradually taking
away the liberties of the people. Oh.
my friends, it is something that must

head; every attack that is made

Who Shot
Detective Sullivan
Now Pleads Guilty
Albert Prince Confesses and Stands
to Get from One to Twenty
Years.

Albert Prince pleaded guilty Of assault
with intent to kill when a%rraigned in dis
trict court and the negro who tried to muir
der Detective Sullivan stands to get any
where from one to twenty years without
further proceedings.
Prince told the court that he was drunk
and did not know what 1 was doing"
NJ. J. Sullivan, into whom Prince pumped
several shots in the Antikol saloon No
vember l, was in court and told Judge SUIT
ton the man seemed sober. Prince is said
to be wanted in Kansas City for several
highway robberies and his chances Of being
in prison for a long time to come are al
together excellent. The date Of sentencing
him is not announced.
Another pair pleaded guilty to Judge
Sutton and, like Prince, intoxication was
the best excuse they could think of. These
were Willard E. ckwoo and Nels Jen-
sen, who broke into the pawnshop Of Sam
Kaplan and secured $50 worth Of plumber.
County Attorney English questioned Lock-
wood, who remembered a good many de-
tails of the robbery, and this caused the
court to take little stock in the excuse of
drunkenness. Three and one-half years
each was imposed on both.
William Jacobs and Charles Nolan, minor
offenders, pleaded not guilty.

THE FOREST OF SKYSCRAPERS
In NEW YORK
Many of the Newer Hotels on the List,
Among Them the Sc. Regis

A considerable part of New York's fame
is due to It's "skyscrap ars," These tow
ering structures are the constant wonder
Of all travellers arriving at New York, by
sea or rail. Only a few years ago two
hundred feet was considered a great
height for one Of New York's steel edl-
fices, now six hundred feet has been
passed by at least two Of them and seven
hundred feet is being approached. Recent
statistics show that New York possesses
some sixty skyscrapers Of a height ex-
ceeding two hundred feet, These sixty
buildings, If laid flat, end to end. woul
reach a distance of about 1860 feet,
nearly three miles. Among these lofty
buildings are a number Of New Yorks
newest and most modern hotels, Of which
the Hotel st. Regis, at Fifth Avenue and
Fifty-fith St, Is one, though IL must be
admitted that the st. Regis cannot be
reckoned among the ;allest. The chief
distinction of the ST. Regis, however, is
not in it's height, but in it's character as
a hotel. Designed and built to be, and
now recognized as Americas finest ho-
tel 1t bases it's claims upon the patron
age of the cultured and discriminating
and on the exceptional quality of its
equipment and service. It's CUISINE is
fully equal to the very best restaurants of
London and Paris. while the charges are
no higher than those Of other first-class
hotels. In respect to its room rates,
rooms can be obtained there as low as
SO and 81 a day for a large, handsomely
furnished single room; IS a day for the
same with private bath Cor Sc for two
people, and $12 a day and up for a SPLEEN

Iowa Courts May
Go After Mabray
State Jurisdiction Possible, Since Fed
eral Prosecution Has Been Post
poned Till March.

Because of the p"ostponement of the trial
Of the Mabray cases in the Iowa federal
courts until March s, 1910, 1t is possible
that the Iowa state courts will take a
whack at Mabray and such OF his partners
as are under state indictments early in the
new year. There are about thirty state in
dictments hanging over the Mabray crowd,
exclusive Of the federal Indictments.
Just when the federaT cases against Ma
bray and his eighty-nine alleged confeder-
ates will be tried in Omaha is not deter
mined. Only about a dozen Of the indicted
parties have yet been brought under arrest
or given bond, and the government is not
disposed to begin the trial of the cases
here until enough of the group is gathered
in to make the trials interesting.
Tom Gay, alias Tom Grant, one OF the
prize fighters Of the Mabray gang, who
was brought to Omaha from Chicago a
week ago under a federal Indictment and
lodged in the Douglas county jail, has
been remanded to the Iowa federal juris-
dictiou. Gay is under 5000 tond for his
appearance there, but being unable to give

tufts.
The federal indictment still hangs against
Gay in the Nebraska federal district.

JOHNSON PLEADS FOR WILLS
Tells Real Estate Exchange Every
Man should Leave n Test
ament.

mot one man in 500 has an intelligent
idea OF who will get his property when he
dies" said Daniel L. Johnson, in speaking
before the Omaha Real Estate exchange
on the subject OF Wills. 1T is the desire
Of all men to leave something at death to
those dependent upon them. To do this a
will should be left setting forth the desires
of the testator.
"In Nebraska 81 per cent OF estates which
are probated are intestate, and in Douglas
county the proportion Is 80 per cent. Every
man should prepare his own will. as he
knows how he wants to dispose Of his
property, and he can name his own eX-
ecutors and the price to be paid them and
can instruct them about his business. A
man knows better how he wants to dis
pose Of his property han the Legislature
does.
THE habit OF disinheriting children is
abominable and Is practlced in no countries
except England and America.

leaving a will there is no proper power tc

SUTPHEN.IOSLYN SUIT NOW
Formers Fight for Latter's Castle Be-
fore Judge Troup Soon.
CHILDREN WERE DIsPOssEssED
So Rules COurt-sutphen submit
Testimony co show old Action for
Title 60 JOsIyn was n
Friendly suit.

The deposition Of Charles Dewitt sutphen.
now filed in the suit to gain possession
Of the George a. Joslyn castle" is fun
Of testimony that the previous law suit,
whereby Joslyn many years ago secured
title to the tract on which the house
stands. was "a friendly affair. arranged
by Mr.. Joslyn. himself, and hat the
children Of Charles Sutphen were in ignor-
ance OF the proceedings.
1t Is asserted by counsel for these
children, Clinton Joy Sutphen and Gladys
E. Kiplinger, that their interests were
totally unprotected and that the old judg-
ment should be set aside for this, among
other reasons.
The suit will probably come up before
Judge Troup next week and a good deal
Of preliminary steps in 1t have been
accomplished. Judge Troup, in settling
Joslyn's demurrer, has ruled that the
children were unlawfully dispossessed Of
their interest in the tract and It now
remains TO be determined whether hs
shall award the land back TO them. The
p~alatial residence Of Mr.. Joslyn would
go with the land.
Not Sure OF Getting Deed.
II told ~Joslyn," reads the Sutphen depo-
sition, that I did not know that 1 could

erty had been willed to me by my mother
to me and my helrs-and l did not know
whether 1 could give title, but II I could
l would. He said he thought It could be
fixed up.
"Joslyn next" says Sutphen, proposed
a friendly lawsuit" He had given Sutphen
$1,000 on the purchase and refused to pay
any more of the first payment Of SIS, OOC
until the title was made good. So 1t was
arranged that Sutphen should sue him.
Joslyn attended to the matter Of the at
torneys and Sutphen ~testifies that he did
not even know the day when the case was
on in court.
The testimony follows that the children
who were then quite young were not rep
resented so far as Sutphen knows, and the
first time it came to their attention was
when Attorney Beckett spoke Of the mat
ter. Beckett subsequently was found frozen
to death between Omaha and Krug park
and his connection with the case thus
ceased.
