Prohibition in Kansas.

Here are some statements Of the
effect Of prohibition in Kansas. as
reported by the attorney general
Of the state. They need neither
note nor comment:
Five hundFed sixteen thousand
children in public schools Of
Kansas never saw an open saloon
in the state"
More than one-half the county
iaiIs are empty"
"Sixty-6ve Of the 1O5 counties
OF the state have no inmates in
the state penal Institutions
MANY of the counties have mol
had = jury to try case in ten
years."
Eighty seven counties have nc
insane"
"Fifty-four counties have nc
feeble minded"
'.Ninety-six counties have no
inebriates."
"Twenty.nine counties nave not
a single inmate on their poor
farms. !"
kansas is the second richest
state in the Union: its average
wealth per capita is $l,700,"
Kansas has a death-rate Of
seven and one-half per i00-the
lowest in the wOFld.p
| Less than ten of the 786 news
papers in the state accept liquor
advertisements"
Is it, therefore any wonder that
though Kansas is the dryest dry
state, prohibition sentiment is
stronger than at any time in her
history Ex.

THE GInRInIrs nay

Easter Is the Emancipation ami
versary of the Christian world--tht
one day of all the year, next to the
advent that is the most glorious and
worthy of signal remembrance. 1t
brings with 1t a new inspiration oil
faith in God and of perfect assur-
ance in His love for the children OF
men.
Every swelling bud and sprouting
leaf reminds us that the life which
conQuers death in natures realm
has its parallel in the Resurrection
that great central fact Of Chris
tianity--in which we have the assur.
ance of our own spiritual revivica-
tlon. Christ in us becomes the vital
izing force which lifts us from the
darkness Of sin and death into Light
and life everlasting.
This old world of ours needs more
Easter cheer. 1t needs to realize
that the risen Christ and the empty
tomb have for the whole race q
grander and higher significance than
any other event since time began. II
needs to feel that the defeat of Kine
Death and the triumph of King Jesus
over the grave, have thrown open the
gates Of life and happiness to all who
will enter therein. It needs to GRASP
the imperishable truth that, when
the Son Of God burst the bars OF
death and the grave, He revealed the
way OF life eternal to all who accept
Him and follow In His footsteps
His resurrection was the divine
pledge of our own, and the soul that
rests upon Him has already riser
from the deafness of sin and began
the life everlasting. For such, trC
grave Is not an abiding place, but
the yestibule of the greater and mob
Ter life beyond.
Therefore, at this joyous Easter
time, when all nature Is rejoicing
let our own hearts join In the songs
of praise and gladness. Around US W.
see the trees adjoining themselve.
with the living green and the air II
resonant with the song Of birds
Over all the earth wherever the name
Of Jesus is known, II Is t he GLAD

IT'S the festival Of all creation.
Christ hath risen, who gave creator
birth.

An Obscure Figure
of Industry.

The beginning of hearings to
the eastern railroad firemen on
their plea for higher wages brings
to the front of the stage an OBJ
scure figure.
In spite Of his grimy face and
soiled jumper, the locomotive en-
gineer has always been to some
extent a heroic figure. The cap
tain of an ocean steamship is al
ways a fascinating personality,
and so the captain of the plunging
Pullman train on his mission Of
speed through the dark has some.
thing of the same prestige,
No such glamour surrounds the
iremen-at least to the grown-up,
Children of course look at any
sort of railroad man with awe,
as one whose experience of life is
broadened by much travel and the
seeing of many men and cities.
But TO mature persons the fireman
is as impersonal as the coal of his
tender. Formerly his red hsnnels
gave him a touch of color. Now
he usually wears a black and white
shirt that completes the oblivion
OF his environment of SCOT.
The fireman, though, may be
very much of a man. He is Of
two types. First, there are the
dare devil fellows who 90 into
railroading from restlessness. The
wild Inrch of the engine as i;

There are various ways to succeed
in this life. The man who minds his
own business is likely to be a sue
cess; the one who let's other people s
business alone is likely to get there,
the man who strictly attends to that
which concerns himself alone, and
leaves that which concerns others to
take care Of itself, will be certain to
be a success; while he who neglects
his own affairs and attempts to man
age those of his neighbor is certain
to be left behind in the race of life.

The Farm Hand

Perhaps the biggest problem
today in feeding the American
people at a fair price, is the diff
Guilty Of getting farm hello. The
agricultural department has just
issued a bulletin stating that the
wages Of farm help has increased
thirty.four per cent in ten years.
Yet farm help is scarcer than
ever.
The average price for farm la.
Dor shown by this bulletin is $1.87
at harvest, and $l.H at other
times. The expense of living is
less in the country, but these
wages only place the laborer on q
par with the latest freshman from
Italy. He gets his $500 to 80 so
today merely for digging earth.
A farm hand should be a skilled
workman.
If the farmers would cooperate
they would have representatives
on the New York docks, to divert
the stream of immigrants from
the peanut stands Of the cities to
the farms where they would help
feed the people.
Something has been done in re-
cent years to keep the farmers
boy at home. Many of the schools
are realizing that 1t is much better
to teach him about soils and farm
animals than to Gt him for the de-
partment store ribbon counter.
But there are always q lot of I'M
attached yodng fellows, who
through misfortune or other eau
ses can not look forward to inner
