Are we willing to pay the price for
the sake of the pearl? Are we willing
to pay the price of the field that 9th
ers may possess the great treasure Of
eternal life In Christ? He paid the
price to purchase eternal life for us.
Do not forget the kingdom is not eat
ing and drinking, but righteousness
and JOY and peace in the Holy Spirit
(Rom. 14:1O.
The treasure was discovered, the
pearl sought after; both methods
have their place and significance In
our lives that are to be hid with
Christ In God. We must reveal to the
world great treasures.

Compulsory Teaching of the Eff.
fects of Alcohol Upon the. HUI.
man System.

But during these years there was an
other law on our statute books, of which
scarcely anybody took cognizance, but
which was faithfully obeyed; and which
in time developed a force and power to
sweep the last vestige of the licensed
saloon into the Missouri river. 1t was
only little statute, never printed with
the liquor laws, but which you must look
for in the laws relating to the regula'
ton of common schools. 1t was enacted
in 1885 and requires that instruction
shall be given in every public school and
to every pupil, concerning the evil effects
of alcohol stimulants upon the human
system. Children take as readily to this
kind of instruction as they do to stories
of Blue Beard and Jack the Giant Killer.
Every man, woman and child in the
state under 40 years of age who has at
tended a public school in Kansas has re-
ceived such instruction.
And the procession of this class, pos
sessed of this instruction, keeps coming
into the social, business and political
life of the state, and it will abide with
us. And so it is that our prohibitory
law, like the moral law, homestead law,
and the law of marriage, will abide while
Kansas endures. 1t is, in my Judgment,
in no more danger of repeal than the Ten
Commandments or the Sermon ON the
Mount.
End of the Filming System.
In 1906, my predecessor, Attorney
General Coleman, determined that the
time had come to make an end of state
liberation of the fning system in the wet
cities. He appointed a brave and tai
ented lawyer-Charles w. Triciett-as
special prosecutor for Kansas City, the
largest city in Kansas; and commenced
an custer suit to forfeit the office Of the
mayor of that city for exacting licence
fines from the saloon keepers and failing
to enforce the law. Other suits were
brought to GUST other derelict officers
and to restrain and enjoin the city gov
ernments from exacting licenses for the
sale of liquor under the guise of the fin.
ing system. The contest was waged with
fury and bitterness, but only one result
could 'follow--the triumph of the law.
This was followed by brilliant and effect
i've work on the part of Attorney General
Jackson, who followed Mr.. Coleman,
whereby the wholesale brewing com.
panies which, through the long years OF
law defiance in the wet cities, had &C.
quired large holdings in Kansas, were
hustled out of the state in short order
by the supreme court and given a stroke
Of Kansas Justice with plenty of fines !

The Statewide Prohibition Law Of
Kansas-How 1t Was Violated
in the Cities for Years.
Thn nmendment reads

The amendment reads:
"Thc manufacture and sale of intoXi
eating liquors shall be forever prohibited
in this state, except for medical, scientific
and mechanical purposes"
The new law took effect May I, 1881
Notice was served upon the saloons Ia
go, and not to stand upon the order Of
their going. There were about 1900 sa
looms in the state. Eight hundred OF
these closed their doors never to reopen
them. The others, located in about a score
of towns which were controlled by liquor
sympathizers, remained to fight the new
law.
But every distillery and all except tive
or three obscure, local breweres went
out of business for good and all. During
the next few years there was constant
fight wagcd in politics, in the legislature
and in the courts, to recover the GROUND
which had been lost by the liquor inter
csts; but gradually and generally the
law and it's enforcement triumphed. Tell
and agitation for the resubmission of
the prohbitory amendment died down,
and political parties dropped the subject
as a political issue. Three-fourths of the
state was overwhelmingly in favor of the
new order of Things, and the new counties
of the west gradually settled up with
people attracted to Kansas in no small
degree by the abolition Of the liquor bust
ness. The entire western section of the
state has consistently supported the law
and strengthened it, from first to last.
Some of the counties in the east, contain
ing large cities, being out of sympathy
with the law and having no hope of its
repeal, gradually developed an anomalous
system of high license, which they were
able to do by eecting judges, sheritfs,
county attorneys and city officers willing
to nullify the state law, by refusing to
enforce it.
The License Filming System.
This system was merely the imposition
of monthly fines for violating the law,
and was in vogue for many years in Atch'
ison, Leavenworth, Kansas City, Fort
Scott, Wichita, Coffeyville Independence
and Junction City In number of other
towns the wet and dry forces were alter
nately victorious. Such towns were some
times wet and sometimes dry-with all
the actual features of the conditions
where local option is sanctioned by state
law. Thus it happens that although we
have had the prohibitory law for thirty
years, we have also had, right at home,
the experiment of high license in fact
and thoroughly tried out side by side
with prohibition.

GERMAN VIEW OF AMERICAN
AND JAPANESE NAVIEs

BERLIN, February 24.-The over
whelming superiority of the American
navy over the japanese is proclaimed
by Captain L. Persius, one of the
most capable and best known of the
retired naval officers writing in the
German press, in an article just pub
lished in the Berlin Tageblatt.
Captain Persius' views show com
plete conversion from those advanced
until now by himself, Lieutenant
Count Won Reventlow and the other
German naval publicists, who for sew
eral years have been regularly pre-.
dieting the coming war between the
United States and Japan and the in
evitable triumph of the Japanese
fleet and army, Homer LEAFS work
"The Valor of Ignorance" serving for
them as a textbook.

Only the battleships Aki and Sat

The attempt to construct battle

to Captain Persius, a failure, due tt

less some unforeseen obstacle arises
this great steamship company Will
have depot and docks on the inner
channel and will make Los Angeles
harbor one Of the most important
ports Of call on the Pacific Coast.
The company, It Is understood, al
ready has a lease from the Southern
Pacific company for the property 1t
desires to use, which is located on
the channel to the inner barber next
the Southern Pacific slip. But n
Of this land is claimed by the city
in the tidelands suits, and it is to
secure immunity from interference If
the city wins its fight in the courts
that the steamship company officials
sought the conference this morning.
George s. Dearborn, vice president
and general manager of the company,
said that he believed the possibilities
of the Los Angeles harbor we're SUCH
as To Justify the company in making
heavy expenditure for docking facili-
ties. Of what you gentlemen tell us
of distances of ports of supply and
rail systems are true, 1000 feet will
not be enough for us" he averred.
The company is applying for
franchise to build a wharf and to
maintain and use it for twenty years
and also asks for a ffteen-year lease
from the city for the land in case
Los Angeles wins her tide lands suit.
The barbor commission will grant
these requests as soon as minor de-
tails are fixed and the papers drawn

Baltimore Sun Heaters
Mr.. ]. C. Axtell,
Agent Baltimore Sun Heater,
Honolulu, T. H,

Dear :--Having recently installed one Of
your Baltimore Sun Heaters in my Manoa home
and having had an opportunity during the past few
days Of cratic weather conditions to gauge its
usefulness, take this opportunity to add to
small mite of what might be termed ma very useful
gift Of nature"
On more than ocoasi on during last week I
have found the water heated to such degree that
even as late as nine-thirty o'clock in the even
ing it would be necessary to add the usual cold
water to cool it off in spite the fact that one
or more baths had been drawn previous thereto.
can only say that the heater is all that you
have claimed it to be, and has not only fulfilled
your agreement in every way, but has proven a far
greater surprise, considering it's location,
i. e., in College Hills, where the condition Of
the wind and weather would naturally cause one
to hesitate on its installation. r
Very truly yours,
JAMES W. DoUGHERTY. d

REMARKABLE CITY

The editor of the Press returned
this morning from n visit of a little
more than a week in San Diego city
and adjacent country The trip was
made especially to study San Diego
and to boost Imperial valley While
there, invitations were accepted to
speak briefly on Imperial valley before
four commercial organizations, while
about three hundred miles OF the new
San Diego county highway was COW
cred by automobile.
During the visit what seemed like
authentic information was obtained
that leads to the belief that by the
end of this year a fine highway will
exist all the way from El Centro to
San Diego, and that within sixty days
in all probability construction of the
San Diego and Arizona railroad will be
resumed with much vigor.
The most gratifying fact developed
during the visit was the great enthusi-
asm that reaches everywhere over In
perial valley. The people of San Diego
know Imperial valley as no other out
side region does, because from the
very first they have been watching
every stage of development here, and
because they feel a close connection
with the destiny of this valley.
On the other hand, Imperial valley
people have kept fairly well informed
OF the growth of San Diego, but there
are very few persons here who have
any conception of the development
that is proceeding out for many miles
from the city. The work that Col
Ed Fletcher and his business associ-
fru- ,J01r ~
pie Of San Diego do not appreciate.
Not only is he inducing many of the
