WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
 TEMPERANCE UNION

According to the thanksgiving proclamation of the governor of Kansas one would feel that pro hlbltlon really protects from many ills.
 He says: "One third of our counties are without prisoners in their jails or paupers in h i r almshouses; one half of our countess sent no convicts to our prisons and one half of half of our prison inmates never lived in Kansas long enough to acquire a residence here.
 Churches and schools flourish, the spiritual outlook is hopeful and the saloon is practically ban ished.
 The effect on politics has been wholesome. Under the license system, the saloon was the ren- dezvous of the politician, and the leading parties were often dom mated by the saloon keeper. The Kansas joint was never the poli- ticial power of it's ancestor-the saloon. An unattractive joint hidden away in dirt and soualor in some alley or barn, it's owner without influence, political or otherwise, does not appeal to the young manhood of the state.
 The saloon is not power, but an outlaw, fugitive and a vaga- bond, and let me say that Prohi- bition Prohibits in Kansas
 Judging from the way prohibi- tion has been dealt with in our present legislature, and also judging from the seeming apathy of the people we are'led to be- lieve that Mr. Little's accusations are correct as to prevailing con- ditions in Arkansas, whether or not he IS even permitted to prove them.

and beckoning to Rose.

lsuppressing the impulse that surged
within him to spring at his cowardly
assailant's throat. Probably 1t was
the realization Of the fact that he

himself-the contempt OF a strong,

Handler bent over his desk, resting
both his hands upon it, and sneered
at Valentine.
"Why didn't you smash him when
he hit you. you cOward!' he asked
the helpless prisoner in purposely ag-
gravating tones. you're losing your
nerve In this little boarding house OF
mine; that's what's the matter with

what you're coming to. It's bound to

The cruel words OF the warden sank
deeply into Valentines soul, as Han
dler well knew they would. But the
prisoner was determined that he would
show no signs of weakening before the
two men who hated him.

But Valentine had mistaken his
man. The respect that one fighting
man has for another who fights him
squarely found no place In the craven
heart Of Billy Handler Valentine had
yet something to learn OF the psy-

words. She clasped her hands en-

"Oh. uncle. Just to think that he
would not try to help himself keep

the important part the girl at the state

about his change of fortune. She had

had evidenced keen interest in him.
He would never forget that.
