Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1916. Her maiden name
was Carrie Moore, and as a girl she
was absolutely fearless. In her early
life she married a man addicted to the
use Of intoXicants, which created II
her an intese aversion to the saloon
When he died she determined to de-
vote her life to the suppression OF the
LIQUOR traffic. Later she moved tc
Kansas and married David Nation
who svmpathized with her temperance
principles.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing
was done in the bar room of the Car
RE Hotel. in Wichita. December p
1900. She was arrested and remain
ed in iail several days before she w:
released on bond. On January p
1901. armed with her favorite Wea ION
hatchet. she made another raid II
Wichita. This time shc smashed tW;
saloons. During the next three months
Mrs. Nation surprised the saloon-keep'
ers in various Kansas towns, appear.
ing unheralded and leaving trail o.
ruined bar room fixtures wherever shf
went.
Remarkably few saloon men usec
violence in resisting Mrs. Nation, al
though she was assaulted and badly
hurt while wrecking a bar at Enter
prise, Kan. By this time the State O.
Kansas was in a ferment. Aroused
by the spirit of the dauntless woman
from Kentucky, the people began tt
demand that all the saloons be closed
Smashing parties were organized al
over the State. AS a result of the agi
tation bills were passed by the legis
lature which strengthened the State
prohibitory law.
Erratic as her life has been, Mrs
Nation was responsible for the great
est temperance awakening in Kansas
Mrs. Nation, after her activities in
Kansas, became lecturer and the
editor of a paper called the Smash
er's Mail" She did little smashing
outside of Kansas.
The home which she founded in
Kansas City, Kan, for drunkards
wives was recently taken over by the
Associated Charities in Kansas City

TO the Hon. Fighting Tom Bonn

known as the Atlanta Lawyer:
Dear Sir: Disclaiming for myself
anv personal feeling whatever toward
your honorable self, yet, in consldera-
ton of peculiar conditions at present
surrounding the quarrel between you
and Governor Blease, it seems to me
that he obligation to maintain the
honor of this State rests as much up
on the citizens as the executive, ana
as the hands Of the executive are tied
by his oath of Office, imposed by act
of law at the demand of the citizens
thereof, by the same token the duty
of placing himself between the honor
of his State and the assaiiant reVerts
to the citizens generally, collectively
and individually, and as I have, after
diligent search, failed to find a sui
fcien5 number to meet the assault IN
force, have decided to oner my own
individual anatomy as tho caleet Aor
your unerring bullet, thereby appeas-
ing your righteous wrath and saving
the honor of my native STATE.
Wherefore, honorable sir, you will
please consider your challenge to
Governor Blease accepted and the IN
cident closed, unless you wish to fur
ther advertise your firm, and that your
humble servant will hold himself in
readiness for a meeting on the field Of
honor, at such time and place and
with such weapons as our respective
seconds can agree upon"
The communication is lengthy one,
The above being only the Introduction.
