NO RAFFLEs N KANSAS CITY
AFTER JANUARY ! THE LID GOES
ON CHURCHES.
City Authorities Decide That Il Will
Be Well to See That Law 10
Enforced.

Kansas City, Dec, 20.-After Jan
uary / Kansas Citians can't win even
Q piece Of embroidery at q church
bazaar by rafiie. That is the result
Of a conference between W. 3. Grit
fin, chief Of police, and the prosecut
ing attorneys ONCE. The date origi
nally set for the curtain on all raffles
was December 20, but owing to the
fact that some merchants, notably
candy and tobacco dealers, had or
dered goods with a view to raining,
the lid was deferred until after the
holiday season.
Chief Grimm reported to the mayors
cabinet on his conference with the
prosecutor. In closing his report he
said:
"And believe It would bS q good
plan TO include church bazaars where
rafiies are held"
you are exactly right" Williams
volker, president Of the board Of pub
lie welfare, said. Church rafies are
not desirable, Close them all"
THAT my idea, too" Mayor Brown
agreed. "Church raHies throw a cloak
of righteousness around gambling. In
themselves they aren't SO bad, but
their effect certainly is demoraliaing.

That was what all the members OF
the cabinet believed and 1t was so or
dered. Chief Grimm IL to see that
after January / no cigars, candy,
motor cars or anything else is raffied
under any circumstances. And there
must not be any gambling Of any kind
in saloons or other places where
games Of chance are wont to flourish.

AUTOMOBILES AND HORSES.

Automobile journals, basing thell
Judgment on manufacturers returns
estimate that this year will see an
output in the United States of 1885,
900 cars, at about an average value
of $1,000, making a product worth
$24O 100000. How does this COM
pare with the investment in horse
flesh? Official figures state that
the value of horses on farms in this
country on January was $2,276,-
$50, 900. OF horses other than those
on farms there are no late figures.
BY January, 1911, this value will
have become ten times that of the
automobile output of the year; while
the mule population in addition will
be worth double that of the automo-
bile output.
Apparently, animal power as ap-
piled to farm operations and produce
ton is not losing its hold, in spite
of the new mechanical devices re-
cNolutioniziRg the minor forms of
transportation and travel.
AS farms assume normal size, their
owners or operators may be able to
do their farm work more economically
by the newer method; but that time
has not yet come. A gasoline en-
CINE, whatever else 1t may do, never

Washington, Dec. 20.-The rail-
