Horse Sense and MeeharIcs.

The examination in the principles OF
mechanics was taken by Abel Dunning
with a due regard to what he had
learned "by main strength" as he
proudly stated; but he also used in
answering the questions what he was
pleased to call his 'horse sense"
"a pin will not stand on it's point"
he said in answer to one question,
"for three reasons:
TN the first place, point, according
to Euclid, is that which hath no parts
and no magnitude; in the second
place, a pin will not stand on its head,
much less therefore on its point; in
the third place, it will If you stick 1t

The Battle With
John BarleyCorn
Prohibition Notes Submitted by Sol
dier of the 'Dry" Army.

The most important local option cleo
tion ever held in Missouri, was the Jop.
lin.Jasper series, five in one county in
one weeks time, January 9th to Feb
ruary Sd. 1t concerned all Missouri,
because it was believed to forecast the
results of next November's state wide
prohibition election.
Both sides admitted that a sweeping.
defeat for local option in these five cleo
tions meant probable defeat Of the state
wide issue in November. Both sides
admitted that if Joplin went wet, but
he other cities and the county went dry
it would explode the argument that the
great cities of the state would control
and carry the vote OF the state. Again,
both sides admitted that Joplin was n
wide open town and particularly hard
one to carry dry: that it was overwhelm-
ingly wet, two to one, as late as thanks
giving when Rev. William Sunday came;
and that the liquor men Of the state
would make the fight Of their lives to
keep it wet. Anything less then 2500
majority would mean a cutting down of
the "Wet's" strength, and that far a
victory for the "Drys."
1t was whirlwind campaign, thirty
days for Joplin, nominally thirty days
for the other four, but really week
longer, as compaign agitation began
with Jopln's call for an election and
continued until they had their own cleo
| tion a week after Joplin's. In thirty
days Joplin cut her wet majority of g.
500 down to a nominally wet one of 81l.
A week more would have wiped out even
this nominal majority by majority for
the ''Dry" SO large that no trickery
could have overcome it.
Temperance people worked with will.
| They were well organized, had the best
OF speakers, the best of literature, and
| not stone was left unturned to carry
the communities dry. But the SWEETS"
worked as hard. There was no limit to
their money. They bought space in the
papers and sprecd column upon column
of the rankest, boldest, baldest and
| bare-faced assertions and distortions be-
fore the people. The road commission.
ers stopped work upon the roads as a
scare measurse; business men had tre
mendous pressure brought to bear upon
them to compel them to vote wet: regis
tration lists were stuffed, and the buy.
ing of votes was an open scandal. In
spite of all this the license majority in
Joplin was so small that had one voter
in sixteen changed to the dry side, it
would have swung the election the other
way. If illegal and purchased votes
had been thrown out, temperance people
believe the city would have been dry.
Joplin's people feel that it was 8
great victory to cut 2500 majority
down to 914 in thirty days oompaign,
anyway, and the enemy are welcome to
all the consolation they can get out of it.
Webb City election came five days
after Joplin's." Theli quor men loudly
boasted that Webb, with but $1,000
people would never vote contrary tc
Joplin, with her $4,000 population. But
she did, and thereby proved the ''greai
