Why Kansas Is Prosperous

"Why is it that state will tolerate a
saloon? In my opinion, it is because
there are hypocrites in the churches.
If these hypocrites were excluded there
would be no more saloons in three
years." @. w. Trickett, spedial assis-
tant attorney general of Kansas, said
last night at the First Congregational
Church in his sermon on "Our Great
est Enemy"
"a saloon is either good thing or a
bad thing" he said. 'If it is a good
thing, the records of the state will
show it,"
Judge Trickett took up Kansas as a
representative prohibition state and
gave its records and statistics.
MORE IMPROVEMENTS IN KANSAS.
''There are $500, 900 persons in Mis-
souri, and l,690,000 in Kansas" he said
.sIf the saloon has made more money for
Missouri, your cities should show it in
improvements, such as paving, etc.
There are a number of cities in Mis-
souri, of more than five thousand inha BIZ
tants without paved streets. I defy
anyone to find city of more than 1900
have paved streets, and it's electric light
plant.
"a short time ago got the records in
Jeffer son City and found that the tax
rolls showed the total assessed property
in Missouri is 81, 900, 100000. In Kansas
where we have had prohibition for
thirty years. the amount is $2,750,O0O,-
600. In thirty years, from the poorest
in the country, it has come to be the
richest A few years ago. during the
panic, Kansas banks sent 80 million
dollars to the East, but Missouri did
not send dollar. Kansas has orga-
nized more banks in the last five years
than any other state.
MANY MOTORS IN KANSAS.
s'In Missouri there is one motor car
for every one hundred farmers, one for
every thirty-fve in Iowa and one for
every five in Kansas.
"You may say that you are spending
your money for labor Stastitics chow
that little less than So "a week is paid
for labor In Kansas it is $l4. Missouri
hasn't put it in her schools, for Kansas
has paid proportionately twice as much
for education"
Judge Trickett said that 81, ,48 was the
amount per capita spent by Kansas for
liquor in the last ten years, while the
figures for Missouri reached $24.
''Think of it," be said. 'In the last
twenty years you have spent 1900 mill
ion dollars for liquor, an amount equal
to your taxable property. In that time,
Kansas has spent but 30 million dol

VOTES WITH SALOON KEEPER

"The hypocrite in the church," he
said in closing, ''goes to his church and
and talks against the saloon. But on
election day he goes arm IN arm NTH
the saloon keeper to the polls and votes
the same ticket. Time will come, how
ever, when the carriers of the liquor
traffic will be thrown down"
Following the sermon, the Rev. Alex

that there was marked change in the
sentiment of Missouri toward the saloon
in the last six months.-From Kan

THE TIME SERVICE MAN

"But I'm never going to let it run down!"
 Again Stephen looked at the older sister. The soft flush on her face sent the young man back to his instru- ments with frightened lips. The love which he had scorned was coming to be holy thing!
 Let Mr. Husted have your watch to set, Patricia" said Elsie.
 But Patricia shook her head and laughed softly.
 The young man set his instruments for the ten seconds of silence which precedes the final burning of extcI noon. Only the ticking of the clocks sounded through the room as he silent ly counted off the time. Then came the quick rasp of the meridian, and from somewhere in the distance the melodious ringing of a ship clocks eight bells.
 Come. Elsie" said Patricia, gently.
 The child came slowly around the room, looking wistfully at the round faced clocks and bidding them fare well with misty eyes. But Stephen Husted lifted his head and looked squarely into Patricias eyes, looked squarely into the face of the thing which we call love, and admitted it.
 
 clocks will run right slow without you"
 It was almost 24 hours later. Pa tricia and Elsie were waiting in little junction station for connecting train. It was hot, and the smell of the road bed was everywhere. A freight en- zine stood on a siding and breathed ! heavily; the telegraph machines click ed a medley of messages, and in the bit of an office the station master talk ed with the freight engineer.
 All at once the clicking of the tele- graph instruments stopped, and the younger girls eyes went bright as she jumped to her feet.
 Its the time comin, Pat! MT. Illus ted's time"
 Then began the steady clicking of the seconds over those hundreds of miles of copper wire. The freight en- gineer took out his watch and com pared tito him there was only the noise of that thing on the table and the certainty that it was correct.
 I'm gaining a shade!" he said brief ly.
 Elsie wound her little watch with trembling fingers. She could seem to hear the ticking of the clocks, and smell the heated asphalt.
 Isn't MT. Husted the loveliest man." she cried.
 But Patricia leaned little forward with her red lips just parting. Every second brought the ages-old message that neither time nor space could stay and Ehe saw only the face of Stephen Husted, beautiful with the intensity ot his longing!
 Elsie full of her love of love, waited for the meridian second. But to Pa tricie, full of her love for Stephen Husted, there was no such thing as time!-Boston Record.

ENLlGHTEN THE PEOPLE.

The need of giving the proper in formation to the public in the time of accidents or emergency cases Is one which cannot be too fully realized. It often occurs that trains are stalled or held up for reasons which seem to the travelling people to be unneces- sary.' It is impossible to secure in- formation of any definite nature as to the cause of the delay or its prob able length. which leaves the passen- gers in an anxious state of mind and often makes them unreasonable in their comments and attitude. This is all to be overcome by the orders which have been given to trainmen on the Boston & Maine road who must in- form the passengers as to the exact cause of trouble and delays as far as ascertainable.
 Such an order is in the interest of the people. One can wait much longer and with greater comfort if he knows the cause of 1t. This same thing ap- plies to boats and to public halls. It is very easy matter to start a. panic In most any instance where the people do not have the real facts to guide their action. With unusual conditions, a disturbance or most any noise or trouble calculated to cause alarm, it is easy to excite a crowd to turn some trif1ing incident into Q tragedy, when by telling the people and giving all the information whether they could see the trouble or not, all could be avoided The giving of the necessary informatiP requires but a moment, but it is for the best interest of all

Makinq Prisons Pay,

That the Texas prisons will be made to pay dividends within a short time Is the opinion of Governor Colquitt, after an inspection of the state peni- tentiary properties. He declares that they would now be on a paying basis had it not been for the loss of $500, 900 by fire at the Huntsville prison and the furniture factory at Rusk, and the further loss of more than s600, 900 on the cane crop because of the early frost Of last autumn
 Humane prison reforms are an ac- complished fact" said the governor. The financial success of the penal system will depend to a large extent On,.the weather, but l have great faith iii its development into a successful institution. I hope to turn over to my successor one of the best prison sys- tems in the United States-a system with prisoners whose improved moral tone inspires them with hope for the future, and with a stimulated pride in the properties they are developing.
 we have resolved, with the help Of the legislature to put the iron furnace at Rusk in operation unless we can more proftably lease it. The smelter at Rusk in operation unless we can equipped by the Lanham administra- ton. It was abandoned by the Camp bell administration. I feel that the state of Texas is able to own its own smelter, and demonstrate on it's own account whether or not a furnace within it's borders can be operated at a profit. I believe it can be done by the employment of experienced smell ter men, free from politics. New York Sun.

The big high-ceiled room was filled with clocks; by the door there was a large one inside two glass cases and fastened to a solid block of granite. Opposite that two tall ones stood like twins and seemed to tick with one loud voice, so perfect was their adjustment Scores and scores of small ships clocks hung on three walls. and each one of them ticked with an independence which gave rhythm to the whole.
 Except for the clocks all was quiet. The hot air of a midsummer's day came through the open windows ana brought with it the faint odor of the heated asphalt walks outside. It was quarter to 12, and in the time service all was in readiness to start out the correct time to the working world. Stephen Husted stood among the clocks, waiting and alert that all was going right; he leaned slightly for ward, eager for the task, when a bright voice came clearly commanding from the doorway.
 Can we come in? It's just this once more"
 q couldn't keep you out. could I. Miss Elsie" he asked.
 The girl laughed as she came to Stephen Husted's side; Elsie Beals was hardly into her girlhood, and the soft brown hair hung curling below her waist.
 T guess you're quite willing we should come in and see you start out the time," she declared confldeRtly.
 But Husted looked over Elsie's 5houl- der to the tall. elder sister on the threshold. and his young face went so- CT. He knew this was the last time they would come across the lawn from the professors red house to watch him send out the time. In the days just passed Patricia's winsome face and clear, sweet voice had brought thoughts flooding through him that the young man did not dare to analyZe. He had vowed that nothing should come between him and the pursuit of his science, that he should be as one set apart from the world, that love for a woman would never stand within his reckoning of life.
 And here was girl, girl with dimples and laughing eyes, who had brought a new, wild sweetness into his life, and whose going clutched at him with an intense, reckless pain that the days were going to be empty Of what was best.
 Just think tomorrow at this time we'll eb almost home" said the younger girl.
 Stephen crossed the room to the tel egraph instruments and put on the switch-and with steady, clanking beats the noontime started out to the waiting world. Elsie held out her tiny watch, and the catch in her voice was pathetic.
 would you set it just right, please, and then I'll never let it run down"
 The young man set t by silent half-second.
 You're bound to remember me as long as that goes, Miss Elsie," he said, lightly,

The Ono Test.

The real test of what is good in art or religion is this: does it express gladness for life, does 1t prize life and make it more worth while?
 Anything whose summed-up infu- ence is to turn one sick at life, and to instil contempt for life, Is bad.
 The greatest treasure of the human race is it's joy in living. Whoever teaches men to get more healthful pleasure out of any or all the func- tions of living is a benefactor of man kind. So that If one will only tell us how to eat and drink so as to exneri- ence in these acts the greatest ecstasy, without injurious after effects, he will be entitled to our thanks.
 What we want to know is how to eat happily, how to exercise with most pleasure, how to love the most joyously, how to work with the maxi mum of delight, how to play perfectly, and how to worship and pray in glad ness of heart.
 There is but one problem-joy.
 Instead Of good and wicked joy we might better say permanent and tenn porary joy.
 The apostle concentrated all the commandments in one when he said: Rejoice, and again I say, rejoice" For when you have learned how to re- joice you have learned how to live.

IDEAS OF Ak'N MAN
Eovs is the WorId's Flavor.

Because I love you, you color my world.
 As in a ballad I have read some where, when you dress in blue 1t is the blueness of the world that intoxi- cates me, the blue sea and sky and mountains; when you are clad in pink I seem to see pink everywhere, pink roses, dawns, cheeks. carnations: and when you clothe yourself in white 1t is lilies and marbles l love.
 You are not all the world to me; you are better than that, you are the are not my universe, but it's taste; not color of all the world to me. You my garden of thoughts but It's per fume.
 You are not the supreme noun; you are the almighty adjective. You are the quality of all things. Every visi- ble object seems stained with you.
 You are the interpretation of the world. I know now what 1t all means. I understand destiny, evolution, God, when I think of you.
 Of course you kindle my desire, but better than that, you awaken some thing in my mind. in my soul, you make me appreciate everything.
 You are the flavor of the universe.

ENDING OF TREATY.

For eighty years this country has maintained treaty relations with Rus sia but these cease today by the ab- rogation of the treaty which goes into effect the first of January. This means that there will be no agreement be- tween the countries for the regulation of their trade relations. until a new treaty is negotiated and it promises to be some months before that will be accomplished. In the meantime bus mess must stagger along the best that it can and endeavor to keep up it's end. In all probability it will be con- Unued along the same footing that it has been under the treaty, there be- ing nothing to prevent it unless one of the~ countries interposes conditions which -znay be regarded as discrimina- tory to the other. The two countries do a large business wSh each other trade between them reaching the size able aggregate of s50,OOO,O00
 The termipation of the treaty will mean that censuls from Russia will not have the Rower to look after es- tates of theil fellow courtrymen in this country and take part in disputes between captains aGd crews. of Rus sian vessels in American ports. With the opening of the new administration it is expected that the negotiations will be pushed for the drawing of 2 new treaty wherein the rights of American citizenship will be fully rec ognized, whether that citizen be a Jew or a Gentle. It was on that point that the abrogation resulted but 1t is believed that diplomacy will be able to overcome the attitude of the Rus sians, as it should.

newspapers. What has been the ex- perience of the Bridgeport papers, where one started it and the others followed, has been demonstrated in other cities, and that is that the main tenance of quality and quantity is dependent upcn an adequate return for the large expense. Simply to con template the vast amount of news, reading matter and valuable informa- tion which is given, at large cost for materials and wages, must quickly convince every reader that if a news paper is worth reading it is worth at least two cents.
 The cheap newspapers are so re- garded by the buyers and this is per haps no better demonstrated than in New York city, where the number of copies thrown away and gathered up in cars and subways each day amount to 400 tons. From among that great mass of waste it is noticeable that the higher priced papers are not to be found. Wherever they are discarded they are eagerly appropriated because of the additional worth. The one cent paper is a proposition which publish CTS realize is the issuance of a paper at loss and the action of the Bridge port papers is in the line of sound bus mess and the interest of the readers.
