Good When Not Drinking

Honest judge, your honor, he's good boy, only
when he's drinking. Please let him go and l know
he will never strike his mother again" 1t was this
plea that caused the grant the aged mothers
petition and release the son who had struck her
while in drunken rage. 1t probably would be of
little avail for the mother to direct her plea to the
saloonkeepers not to sell liquor to her son. A plea
from the mother based the fact that the son was
kind to her when sober and was drunken brute
when under the influence of saloon excuses would
have accomplished nothing if made to the man behind
the bar Business is business is the reply the saloon
would have made and the business of that institution
cares nothing for the misery of mothers the crimes
of sons. 1t corrupts and demorazes patrons and it
creates misery and sorrow and loss as a necessary
daily result of its operation.
What is the conclusion. Isn't it that saloons
should be abolished?

They Are Alarmed
November I, 1912.

Liquor trade journals almost frantic in their
appeals for the brotherhood members to stand to-
gether in this campaign. Much of the space of these
wet journals is devoted to showing the need of
certed action in attempts to control the legislative
judicial and executive Offices Don't let the fanatics
catch you mapping" is the advice given by the Pro-
ector "You cannot afford to vote" that paper goes
say "for who refuses to stand on liberal
PLATFORM even though he belongs to the political
party with which you affiliate. Party lines must not
be drawn this year, brothers. The Republican prohi-
bitionst is pledged to drive you out of business and
is the Democratic prohibitionis Party labels have
significance SO far the liquor interests are
cerned Pick out candidates who you have reason to
believe, will treat you fairly and every honorable
means to elect them the 9Th of November"
We are nightly obliged to the wet brethren for
this piece of advice which, though they did so
intend it, is nevertheless just the of advice the
American Issue gives to its readers The liquor
are wise in their day and generation. They have
effaced party lines for the sake of perpetuatng their
business. Shall we, who the unreenting foes of
liquor, hesitate to do likewise? There is virtue of
course in afiliatng oneself with political party,
but that does not party blindness, does it
give reason for refusing to party lines when
moral issues at stake

Hits at Drinking in the Army

At its last session congress enacted law which
the war department has recently made public and
which, in short will "dock" soldiers of the regular
army for time lost through drinking The following
is extract from the new law:

be asbent from duty of disease resulting from his
Incorporate of drugs alcoholic liquors. or other
misconduct shall receive pay for the period such absence
from of the appropriation in this act for the paw

Every Man Must Do His Dutv

One hundred and seven years ago occurred the
important and memorable battle of Trafalgar Under
Lord Nelson the British fleet defeated the Spanish
and French naval forces and saved the day for England
Conspicuously shining of the record of that battle
and flashing down the years, is the motto which Mel
son displayed from his flagship: England expects
every man to do his duty!' And the men did their
duty.
The church today expects every man to do his
duty There is important battle on It is neces-
sary that there be indecison no hating no show
ing OF the white feather, no temporizing with the
enemy, no apology for fighting. 1t must be a battle
to the death, decisive that at Trafalgar and far
more important in its results That battle however,
unlike the one against the combined forces of the
Spanish and French cannot be waged to it's conclr-
sion IN single day. 1t is battle of days. months and
years 1t is the fight against all the organized forms
OF evil, amalgamated and federated under the name of
the liquor business. More and more are the churches
coming to realize that the liquor business is the one
great evil all other wickedness besides looking like
p1gmy compared to a giant In this fight the church
has right to demand the best work and the most in
telgent strategy the part of it's Christian soldiers
Victory will come but it may be delayed if any
soldier of the fails to do all that he can toward
success

"sTRIcTLY MODERN" HOMES
six MILES FROM TOWN.

Farmer Jacob A. Dirks lives six
miles from town and twelve miles
from water works or electric light
plan, but he has hi farm house
Strictly modern"
Mr.. Dirks' home is not exceptional.
All over Kansas such farm homes are
now to be found, where light and wa
ter systems bring the comforts and
conVeniences Of town right to the
farm, not to mention automobiles,
telephones and mail delivery.
Jacob Dirks lives in the edge OF
Barton county, about six miles north
Of Pawnee Rock, and twelve miles
from Great Bend. But he has furnace
heat in his home; a modern water
system gives his home all cOnven-
fences, and lighting system extends
not only in his residence but through
the farm yard and in his barns.

his barn at night, by merely pressing

DECORATION DAY.

Except for a little wind the weash.
er' on Thursday Of last week, Dec.
orahon Day, was about all that could
be desired. A large number Of psr.
sons assembled IN the city and as.
sisted in the exercises. The ceme
teries had both been fiDed up nicly
oy the lot owners and the sexton.
and after the decorating was com.
pieted, both looked Hike a veritabla
mower garden. An innovation was
produced, In that the auto owuers
generously consented TO give their
time and machines for the Old sol.
diers, and at $3.50, headed BY q
drum corps, the procession started
from the G. A. R. hall and wended
Its way to the cemetery At the
Cemetery, the boy scouts, under com.
mand Of Rev. Westwood, and a large
number Of school children headed
the parade through the various
streets, the scouts doing the deco
rating. 1t was quite stimulating
sight to see one Of the young fej.
lows approach the grave Of an old
SOio1er' and with his hat at parade
rest, deposit a bouquet Of flowers.
When all the graves had been dec.
GRATED the people assembled around
the large mound, and went through
the usual exercises.
In the afternoon, escorted BY the
boy scouts and the fire company
the old soldiers and the ladies OF
the G. A. R. marched from the hall
to the tabernacle, where a good
program was given. Judge Gordon
Finley Of Dodge City delivered an
excellent address, which elected
much praise from his hearers, and
which was attentively listened to.
The business houses all closed In
the afternoon, all seeming to vie
with one another in making the day
a success.

A NICE RAIN.

Central Kansas was visited with
a nice little rain on Friday Of last
week, ranging from a quarter OF an
inch in some places to nearly an
inch farther west. The fan here, &C.
cording to Ike Pritchard, who keeps
track Of the precipitation for the
government, was SO-1OO Of an inch.
Will Null, who lives in the edge Of
sPawnee Rock township, says they
had a great deal more at his place,
but that the light fall reached almost
to his farm. Rain Is reported as far
west as Dodge City, and on the Rock
Island down to Liberal. While this
Is not the amount that is needed,
yet it was like a drink Of cool water
to a thirsty man. and helped some.
We want more of it. The weather
after the rain was ideal.

The Millers have been recover
ing a little this week from the jinks
which seemed to have them in con-
troll last week. They lost the open

second game, to 4. On Sunday
the two teams played a transferred
game here, the home boys getting
swatting to the tune Of 8 to 3.
On Monday the two teams opened
a three game series here. For a
while it looked as though they had
the links on us yet, but in rally in
the Sth inning, followed by another
one in the 9th, the boys we're able
to nose out a victory, 9 TO 8. On
Tuesday and Wednesday the Millers
won the games, the score each game
being to 1.
The team is playing the last three
days OF. this week at Salina. They
come home Sunday with Manhattan
