After thirty years of prohibition
in Kansas, the Acknowledgement
summarizes conditions there as
follows;
almost a third of the entire
population is enrolled in public or
private schools. Illiteracy has
been reduced from 40 per cent, to
less than 2 per cent, and that
trifling amount is almost entirely
among the foreign element. Out
Of 105 counties in the state eighty.
seven of them have no insane.
tifty-four have no feeble-minded,
ninety-six have no inebriates and
the few we do have come from the
cities which deied the law to the
very last. Thirty.elght county
poor farms have no inmates. There
is only one pauper to every 5000
population. In July, 1911, fifty
three county jails were empty;
sixty.hve counties had no prison.
ers serving sentence. Some coun.
ties have not called jury to try a
criminal case in ten years and a
Grand Jury is so uncommon that
half of our people wouldn't know
what it is. In my home county
in Western Kansas there has
never been but one Grand Jury,
and that was twenty-five years
ago."
This is a remarkable statement
1t sounds more like a recountal OF
millenial conditions than a cold
statement of official facts and fig,
ures. No decent man but would
like to be able to say the same
of Tennessee. 1t took persisten

Is it strange, therefore, that it hat
not done so much for Tennessee
in three yearsG Let every mar

the people.

The man who let's the hogs de-
stroy his crop rather than incur
the expense of repairing his fence;
the man who lets the leaks dam
age his household goods rather
than pay for good roof; is show
ing the same sort of business
judgement as the man who refuses
to invest a few cents of taxes each
year in good roads, preferring to
wear ont his wagon and kill out
his team, struggling along with
half a load on bad roads.

The prominent part taken by
the local organization of Kings
Daughters, in the furthering to
completion the plans for the
Maury Hospital, is deserving Of
mention and highest praise,
There is no sweeter charity than
that in which these noble women
are engaged. And no women
anywhere are more earnest and
loyal In this great work, so beauti'
fully typical of Him of whom il
hath been said, HE went about
doing good" Thank God for OuI
splendid womanhood. ANGELS
are painted fair, to look like thee.

Resolutions Adopted ia Lave
renee County

We the citizens uf Lawrence County
in macs meeting assembled, do most
heartily approve the action of the Gen.
ersl Assembly of 1909 in passing the
General Education Bill, unifying the
public school system of the State and
appropriating 20 per cent of the gross
revenues for appointment among the
various departments of the State school
system
Recognizing the need of larger reve-
nues for the proper d velOpment
of the State school system, we urge the
coming General assembly to amend said
bill by increasing the appropriation
from rs per cent to 9St per cent without
out changing the ratio of apportionment
We advocate the enactment of a gen.
eral confiscstious bill which will har-
monte existing school laws and estab-
lish proper relations among the various
educational agencies Of the State
We believe that an adequate system
of instruction in the rural districts can
not be provided as long as we adhere to
the policy of one teacher schools, and
we express approval of the movement
of consolidated schools, where praCti-
cable, with the understanding thai
transportation facilities are to be pro.
vided when necessary

Vote for Good Roads, Saturday
You'll never regret it.

A great opportunity presents
itself to Lawrence County people,
on Saturday, when they have pre-
scented to the road bond question
We have yet to find a man, who
has lived in county, which has
issued bonds for roads, whether
he voted for them or not, who re-
grets their issuance. 1t means
much to Lawrence County. Let's
acquit ourselves like men, and
keep our county in the forefront
of progress and prosperity.
Lawrence democrat. (Lawrenceburg, Tenn.) 1884-1925, 1912-10-02

Let the voters remember to re-
quire of their legislative candi
dates the pledge that they will
neither leave state to block the
wheels of legislation, nor vote
themselves more money than the
constitution provides that they
may have. These two fragrant
abuses of power and disregard o
duty must be stopped in Tennes
see.

e. G. Grimes of the Gaitberville
section was in to see us Friday,
and reports his section almost
solid for the Road Bonds. This
sort OF news is coming in from
many sections of the county.
When people study the question
and carefully figure out the profits
of Good Roads to themselves, they
can scarcely avoid becoming a
friend to the bond issue PROPOSE

Elk. Gov. Patterson's opening
address in his canvass for U. s.
Senator at the Ryman auditorium
in Nashville a few nights ago was
listened to by about three thous-
and people. The address was pub
lished in all the Nashville papers
and will be read with much inter-
est all over the county. 1t is the
most exhaustive and ablest dis
cussion of the public issues that
now divide the country that has
yet appeared. The address is q
classic and will we'll repay careful
reading. He leaves no doubt Of
his position on all public ques-
tions. This one characteristic Of
the man. He knows what he be-
lieves and boldly states his views
on all questions. The people want
to know, and they have right tC
know, the views of a public mar
and what he stands for. 1t is this
that brings him so close to the
people and what would have given
him the nomination for the senate
over any democrat in the state.

The brutal and debasing prac-
tice of prize-fighting has been legal
lied in Tennessee, and the papers
report each week the revolving de-
tails of a contest where a pair of
human brutes beat each other into
bloody lnsensibility for the delec-
tation of a gang Of toughs and de-
generates, for a few paltry dollars.
The anomaly of the matter is
that the same legislature which
passed the law banlshing the legal
lied saloon, passed the law bring
ing the legallzed prize fight back
to Tennessee. For ten years pre-
vious this unsavory sport was pro-
hibited in the state by a statute OF
which the writer is proud to have
been the author.

Every Evangelical church in this
country gives frequent expression to its
unwavering opposition to the liquor traf-
fiC,and in support Of the prohibition laws
Too often, however, for the sake of the
church, the leading individual mem.
bers, by their votes and political align.
ments take a position directly hostile
to the attitude Of their church on this
question. That man who uses his
church membership as a cloak to make
the appearance that he is foe to
liquor and immortality, then casts his
vote for a liquor platform and devOte'
his every day activities to the defeat Of
temperance and moral laws, dishOnOrs
his church and does little credit to his
manhood.
