Ex-Governor Hoch of Kansas is
sanguine of the complete success of
temperance throughout the country
At recent meeting in Chicago he
delivered an address in the course of
which he said:
There is absolutely nothing to be
said in favor of the saloon. AS soon
as the Middlefeld bill, or some other
like it, gets through congress, to
make shipments of liquor into dry
territory contraband the remaining
great obstacle to prohibition will be
removed. | say that any man who
occupies a governors seat for four
years must of necessity become pro-
hibitionist."
We find nine states under state
wide prohibition, thirty-six million
people of our own land living under
some form of prohibition law, the
sale of liquor prohibited in both army
and navy, the w c. T. U. being
among the first to urge upon con-
gresS the necessity of providing a
plan where enlisted men could find
recreation and amusement without
visiting the dive or nearby saloons.
Up to the present time congress has
appropriated over three million dol
lars for the post exchange" at
army posts and garrisOns, in which
are to be found amusement halls,
finely equipped gymnasiums, bowling
alleys, reading rooms, ETC., for the
benefit of enlisted men, besides a lit
tie more variety in mess being al
lowed them.
Rural free delivery carriers are
prohibited from carrying liquors
either for themselves or their pat
rons, while in possession of the mail
The sale of liquor is prohibited in the
capitol building at Washington, D.
c., and at our ports of entry.
Six hundred thousand meetings
were held last year under the auspices
of the w. G. T. U. Missionaries are
kept at Ellis Island and other ports
of entry, who distribute literature in
twenty different languages to the
thousands of immigrants passing
through these doors into our land.
Missionaries in lumber camps and in
mining sections work among colored
people and Indians.

GEORGE ELIOT MADE

George Eliot had the high art Of
making people who would be bores in
real life Immensely entertaining char
acters in her novels said Professor
Stockton ANson of Princeton. IN his
lecture before tho New Century club
yesterday afternoon. Nowadays there
are many smart women who write
clover stories OF smart people. but all
though George Eliot met famous peo-
ple, her hest work has been IN stories
built around the people and scenes Of
her childhood.
George Eliot. in common with All
women writers makes her hero too
perfect for mortal man. a man writer
realizes the limitations OF tho hero. and
has some nuw of conceit or stupidity
20 show. But when 1t comes TO the
heroine. George Eliot has "a glorious re-
vcnge women can see right through
mans heroine and discover what
perfect little goose she usually IS.
George Eliot shows more strongly
than any other writer one terribly true
type-the man who goes 10 the dogs
simply through decciving himself as
to the Righteousness OF his motives.
