called prohibition papers. One paper,
published in Washington, D. c., ate
up thousands of dollars of her money.
She even mortgaged her home, she
told me, to help keep this paper GO

houses and lots in Shawnee and
Guthrie, Okla, an insurance policy
and a bank account of 81, 900 in Alex

StMrs. Nation died of paresis,
brought on by a nervous breakdown
from worry over a lawsuit to recover
money due for her lectures. She
died as she had lived after she found
herself famous. She was obesSed
with the desire to get money. 1 have
always been in doubt whether or not
she was sincere in her prohibition
fight or whether she saw in it a
method for gain. She was either a
shrewd, inscriptions business wo-
man, or she was insane. / am more
inclined to believe, from the contra
dictions in her character, that she
lost her mind before her first saloon

sit was Carrie Nations boast that
when she died the Lord would raise
up other woman to carry the nation.
The pity of her life shows the fulfill
ty of a hopeless task. When she
died her own Kansas, which she
made dry was overrun with boot
leggers and dives. She witnessed the
prohibition wave surge over the
south. At her death she saw the re-
action, and that the southern states
had begun to repeal the laws which
they found impossible to enforce. 1t
was these facts, it is said, that went
far toward making her a broken, dis
appointed old woman during her last
years, when anyone could lead her
without resistance. The hopelessness
of her efforts to establish a reform
through fanaticiSm, the ceaseleSS de-
mands of the blood-suckers who lived
from her earnings, her lonely life and
her death without friends to comfort
her made the tragedy in Carrie

capper for Governor

Topeka, Kansas, June II, 1911.
Arthur Capper, publisher of the
Topeka Daily Capital and Farmers
Mail and Breeze, today announced
that he would be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor
at the primary next year. Mr. Cap
per has never been an aspirant for
public Office and says he would not
have thought of asking for this nom-
ination had it not been suggested
and urged by many of the leaders of
every element in the party. His de-
cision to become candidate was
reached by Mr.. Capper after a care
full study of the political situation in
Kansas. He consulted with many of
the state, as well as with the lead
ers and is led to believe that his can
didacy will be received with much
favor at both the primary and the
election Mr. Capper states that he

with the usual lobby privileges.
The house manager chose "Ten
Nights in Bar Room for the weeks
production and Mrs. Nations profits
for the period amounted to nearly
$1,000
''In spite of the money she made,
she refused absolutely to stop at
first-class hotel. She preferred rath-
er to go to a cheap place, because,
she said, she needed her money more
than the hotel-keepers did.
Not single suggestion made by
me, with view, to making her stay
in Atlanta more sensational, was re-
jected by her. She arrived Sunday
night and early Monday morning be-
gan her o<usade. There was a big ad-
vertisement for cigarettes in drug
store window in the center of the
city, in which man made up to rep
resent manikin, with electric wires
attached, smoked cigarettes. L sug-
gested that Mrs. Nation pull him out
of the window backwards.
''Of course there was a big crowd
in front of the window and the little
old woman saw her first chance for
sensation. She marched determined
ly into the store, stopped in the CEN
ter and began a TRADE against ciga
rette smoking. Then, when the store
became crowded with people, she
went to the window, opened the back
of it, grasped the performer inside by
the scruff of the neck and yanked
him to the floor. The manikin was
so surprised that he became galvan-
lied into the liveliest lay-fgure imag-
Unable and the crowd roared. The
next day the window was empty and
remained SO for the rest of Carrie
Nations stay in Atlanta.

him. she said. It'll make good

1--WE went to Hoke Smiths office,
but that gentleman was too shrewd
for Mrs. Nation. He recognized her
when she opened his door without
being announced, and Immediately
threw his cigar into ascuspidor. Mrs.
Nation was satisfied to give him a
mild reprimand, and we left for more
fertile fields.
ssDown to the police station the lit
tie woman marched, followed by a
crowd, which jeered and laughed at
her. When we went into the station
the chief was seated at his desk
smoking big black cigar. Mrs Ma
tion went up to him, grasped the CT
gar and crushed it in her hand.
Don't you know you are smoking
yourself into help" she screamed
Then she lit into the chief and gave
him the warmest ten minutes he had
experienced for some time.
''Of course the newspapers were
full of Mrs. Nations doings, and
none could be more pleased at the
publicity than She She would get

morning and work until the matinee.

''Mrs. Nation cleared nearly $3.50,
600 from her lectures in churches and
theaters. She would refuse, however
to go to church if a theater made
her a better offer. A minister once
upbraided her for this, but she snap
ped him up with, ''When / fish / go
where the fishes are.''

CARRIE NATION
Was Obesed With Desire for Wealth;
Says Press Agent

John NJ. Gregory, who was for
time press agent for Mrs. Carrie Ma
tion. has written the article printed
below, which he has entitled 1.-The
Tragedy of Carrie Nation" He
vouches for the correctness of the ar
ticle, saying that it is true in every
detail.
"When the newspapers of June 10
flashed the news that Carrie Nation,
the Kansas Saloon-smaSher, had died
at Leavenworth, Kan, the night be-
fore. pitying smile went over the
country. The notice of her death
served only to bring back to the
minds of the public the Carrie of ten
years ago-the fiery, fearless, saloon
smashing, journalistic joke, who
served to hit the national sense of
humor as the acme of the screaming
ridiculous.
''And therein lies the grim tragedy
of the life of Carrie Nation. The pa
thos of this gray-haired, broken-heart-
ed, fanatical old woman is inseparable
from the humor she aroused. Both
pathos and humor were with her
through the years when she thunder
ed damnation to saloonists and
wreaked destruction to their places
of business. 1t was many times more
in evidence at her death bed, when,
broken in spirit and mind, she
breathed her last with none of those
with whom and for whom she had
fought to soothe her dying hours.
Two nieces, a strange hospital sur
geon and a head nurse were her only
attendants.
ssThe Two dominant features of
Carrie Nations character were dia-
metrically opposed. On the one side
was the crusader, the leader, the
fearless fanatic boldly defying the
world; greedy for money and seeking
the best method for getting it; alive
to the value of advertising and quick
to grasp the dramatic and sensation
al; a CRATER of the lowest kind; a mi
ser in her love for gold; glutton for
publicity; leech; money-vampire-
''On the other hand was her simple
motherly character, as lovable as that
of any woman 1 have ever known.
Sometimes she would make one won
der how she could be the termagant
she was. She rarely referred to her
smashing tour, and when she did it
was with a quiet little laugh, her
gray eyes sparkling and her fist
clenched as she would describe how
the men-would flee the saloon by the
rear door when she entered the front.
The waste, the injustice, the crimin-
al side of her actions, never seemed
to enter her head
"Many of Carrie Nations sensation
al deeds were inspired by her press
agents or the press agents of the the
aters in which, during a few years,
she worked. She was keen, too, in
making her contracts, She received
from $3.50 TO $1,000 week for lectur-
ing at theatres, and always with the
privilege of selling in the lobby her
little gold hatchet pins and the his
tory of her life. This privilege
would net her from 800 to $3.50 a
week extra.
1.-The first work 1 did for her was
as press agent for theatre in At
lanta, Ga. The house was putting on
sensational plays at popular prices,
and Carrie Nation was signed for two
twenty-minute lectures each day, for
which she received $500 for the week
