last week he demonstrated his influence with the police
department. the press reports tell u.s. in successfully
pleading the cause of two charged with dynamit-
ing barn. The Barney Grogans entirely too
numerous in all of our cities.
Kill the Saloon, and Thereby Destroy Protected Vice
The conviction is growing upon the people that
the saloon business is largely blame for protected
vice, that its influence entirely potent in shield
ing criminals, People beginning to see that the
saloon license is bulwark of defense for these enc

Business World Demands
Sobriety

Edna K. Wooey, staff correspondent for the Chi
cage Daily World mentions the recent action of two
great railroads in forbdding employees to drink in
toxicants while either "on or "of duty" She calls
attention to the decrease in the consumption of beer
Chicago and other cities shown by the report of
offices, and cites other recent temperance de-
veopments. She says:
These only few significant facts little search
will discover The business world is reforming itself
the knowledge that efficiency depends upon sobrety
and that the occasional tpper be trusted with
work which needs steady hands and clear brains.
Drunkenness is not tolerated among brainworkers
under the theory that brillancy
and originality could be achieved only

because he believed and everybody else believed nsp
alton depended upon Spirits"
No matter what pessmsts say, are today put
ting forth better books, better pictures better of
well utility direction than any of mbibng
did, and you will find that practically all the good
work done today accomplished under normal conditions
It's dizzy old world best, and any of who would

Measure For Maintenance
School Tax.

! Public school teachers in Missouri
are endeavorine to place the educa-
ton Of children on a solid basis
by providing a definite maintenance
tax through a constitutional amend
ment The amendment will be voted
on at the fall election.
The measure. for which the peti-
tons requesting the amendment be
placed on the ballot has been filed
with the secretary of state, is a mill
tax and il adopted will take the
place of the present school tax.
II will do away with the political
manipulation that educators now
find necessary.
The efficiency of the public school
system may be increased twofold i
the school funds are raised by a IA.
mite state tax as proposed Rural
high schools will become numerous
is the belief OF the teachers.
The public and normal school
teachers are pushing the measure
through their association. While
the tax at present will not provide
but little more revenue to the schools
the appropriation will be permanent
and definite and not rest upon the
good will of the legislature.
