A Remarkable Record.

If the proof Of the pudding is
the eating, then the record which
has been made for prohibition in
a trial of thirty years in Kansas
should leave nothing further to
be desired by way of proof.
Here are some of the things TAX
en- from a recent official state
ment of the attorney general of
that state: "Illiteracy has been
reduced from 40 per cent to less
than two per cent, and that trih-
ing amount is almost wholly
among the foreigners. With 1Oo
counties in the state, eighty-sev-
en- Of them have no insane, fifty
four have no feeble minded, nine
ty- six have no inebriates, the few
found inthe statebeing fromcities
which detied the law till the very
last. Thirty eight counties poor
farms have no inmates, and there
is only che pauper to every 1900
population. In July, 1911, fifty
three county jails were empty,
and sixty five counties had no
prisoners serving sentences,
Some counties have had no pris
oners serving sentences. Some
counties have not called a jury
to try criminal case in ten years
and a grand jury is so uncom
mon that half of our people would
not know what it is" There
may be found plenty to tell us
that prohibition does not pro
hibit. Granting that it does
not, if it is capable of producing
such a record as that set forth
in this official statement, it is
certainly the wisest measure
which any state could adopt and
work overtime to enforce. The
Presbyterian Advance.

NOTABLE STATUARY WORK.
Is Being Completed at Shop of Tosi,
Sanguinetti g. Co.

! Augusta SanguinettI az the Black
well street firm Of Tosi, Sanguinetti
& Co., is putting the final touches to
/ what many believe is one of the most
notable statuary groups ever chiseled
out OF Barre granite. The striking fig
ure is an allegorical representation of
the angel, Gabriel who announced to
Mary the birth Of the Saviour. Mr.
Sanguinetti's herculean statue OF the
angel depicts him in the act OF trans
porting young woman to Paradise.
Both figures are eXquisitely done from
monster block OF the +. l.. Smith &
Co. s best Barre light stone and several
months have elapsed since the work
was started.
The figure of Gabriel measures some
seven feet from the pedestal to the tip
of the wings. He is represented as hold
ing in one hand the trumpet or horn
associated with his name in the scrip
tural story, while the other hand is
pointed heavenward. On the outspread
wings as well as on the laurel wreaths
around the heads of both figures. may
be seen the most delicate work of the
group. Extreme care has been neces-
sary in making the wings lifelike, and in
this respect the sculptor has been sue
cessful TO a high degree. The flowing
gowns of the angel and the female fig |
ure have been wrought with fine re-
gard for details and in the ewes of many |
critics who have viewed the work, there |
is no discernible room for Improvement !
The group is all but completed, and |
by the latter end of the week il will /
be boxed and shipped to New Jersey |
town, where it is to occupy lot on
a commanding eminence. The creator
of the group, Mr.. Sanguinetti, has been
giving the work his entire attention
since last December. Considerable time
will be necessary to box the group for
the figures together stand seven feet
high and four feet wide in the clear.
and there are three bases and ped
estal which, however. will be consigned
under separate covers. People who have
Inspected the group in its nearly finished
state have declared that il is probably
Dn a par with any statuary group ever
wrought out of native stone. Mr.. San
yuinetti is the creator of several notable
statues. among which are a Woodmen's
group, figures OF Joseph and Mary. and
! large crucifix erected in a Pennsyl-
rania cemetery two years ago.
