Last week work was commenced
on a ditch on the opposite side OF
Seymour street from the editors resi-
dence. At first we thought it was be-
ing dug for the purpose of interring
the Morganite Taftites "a fellow whis-
pers Morganic) but as it was 100 feet
long, 4 feet deep and 2 feet across,
we know we were mistaken, for that
would be room enough to cover up
every Missouri Taftite, including Leo
Morse, Of Excelsior Springs, and
Otto Stifel, of St. Louis. On making
inquiry at headquarters we learned
that Mox Joachim was having a cell
lar made under his "Castle on the
Rhine" full size, and the ditch was
a cellar drain. Another call for wat
er works.

There is always a great deal of
space filled in the local papeas every
fall in opposition to the mail order
houses. The local merchants have
only themselves to blame for the in
cressing trade that goes to the mail
houses. 1t is the system under
which they ate doing busine SIS that
is putting them further back each
year-the many profits that are put
upon their goods all along the line
down to the "ultimate consumer
the credit plan SO many still adhere TO
which makes the cash buyers pay on
the bad debts, and the expensive way
in general of handling goods by the
present wholesale system with its
army OF travelling statesmen, who must
have four times the wages of the av-
erage farm hand. The system is SO
topheavy with expense that it is no
wonder the mail order house, with its
"direct to you"plan, finds it possible
to make good profit and still sell
goods at much less than The local
merchants are asking.

the rather say, the law can be en-
forced IN the cite as they are in
smaller places, and they shall be
enforced? When men are elected
to office who want the law enforced.
they will be enforced. And as
surely as we have these laws, this
will be done some day.
Kansas had State wide prohibi-
tion for years before the law was
enforced in Topeka or Kansas City.
Today they are enforced in these
cities and throughout the State as
we'll as any other law. And Kan
sas is law abiding State.
We can, and will some day, elect
men to office who will enforce our
laws. We can, and we will elect a
legislature that will enable State
officials to enforce the laws when
city officials refuse to do so.
We will not surrender to the H.
quor forces in their defiance of the
law; but we will fight them until
we win. To surrender today would
be but to renew the battle for State
wide prohibition tomorrow. For
the battle is on, not only in Ten
nessee, but in every State in the
United States, and in every coun-
try in the civilized world. And
