now KANSAS HAS SAWED.

Some time ago The Tirginton published some
figures showing the decrease in the consumption
Of liquor IN Kansas since prohibition of the sale
OF liquor was made effective. The governor and
attorney-sencral Of Kansas report some Of the
good results Of the working Of the law.
There is only one pauper In every 5000 popu.
lation; eightyseyen of the 1o5 counties have
no insane, hfty-four no feebleminded, and ninety
six no inebrietes: thirty-eight poor farms have
no inmates; more than half the county jails had
no inmates when the report was made; in ten
years not Jury has been called to try a criminal
case IN number Of counties.
Kansas. by doing without these luxures has
saved money. The revenue from liquor licenses
has been lost. but In its place has come revenue
from other industries in which hte money was
reinyested. Her criminal expenses have been
cut down Immensely and her revenues not at
all IN Kansas they do not believe saloons pay;
they have reached that conclusion by experience

As TO Giving

Sometimes II helps tightwad to loosen IN
and give something to somebody whether that
something is needed by the somebody not.
Close fistedness is the line Of least resistance
and the trouble about this Spug movement Is
that it may carry the thing to the extreme and
stop the giving habit with a lot Of people alto
gether
OF course there is lot OF money wasted on
expensive presents and this part might be cur
tailed, but think any kind of giving. whether
expensive or inexpensive, is good If 1t helps no
one but the giver.

The statesman's lot is not a happy one any
more than the policemans. Washington is now
overrun with men and women who went to the
national capital to impress upon the admins
trat!on the Importance Of the prohibition propa-
ganda,
A day or two earlier 1t the advocates OF
suffrage who went forward with a
panacea for all human ills
And in the meantime official Washington Is
rapidly becoming gray-headed in an effort to
work cut an improved scheme of government
along established and universal lines
1t is one Of the misfortunes of the reformer
that he lacks sense of proportion that he has
but n faint conception of the whole problem
of universal progress Surely the present is
not time for the furtheritg of hobbies, or even
of special causes, in Washington. The reform
who have carried their requests to Washing
ton comparable with an Individual who
might agitate in favor OF a color scheme for a

 The Cadillac carried us about 3.700 miles on this trip, and was always there with the power when needed. We had less than twenty y-fiVe dollars worth of work done on the machine during the whole summer, although, due to machinist's careIessness, we were obliged to replace a hub. The machine has not been overhauled since our return, and has Golled off 4.500 miles for us the past ninety days This is q splendid record for this long desert trip. The tires used in making the trip were 37x41s and all the tires used on this trip have made a mileage of at least 5000 miles and one gave 13,500 miles of service.
 Naturally the best time to make this trip is the winter. but we did not find the heat unpleasant or uncoT- fortable at any time Our two-months vacation was thoroughly enjoyable in every way, and l believe that Ari
 zonians with machines should by all means make their summer trip to the coast by auto. The railroad fare for our party of five to the places Wa visited would have amounted to at least $750, to say nothing of the com ! fort, pleasure and convenience of nav i ing our machine to use at any time. ! AS matter of fact, our entire ex- pense was much less than the rail- road fares alone would have been.

FIFTY YEARS ON
 STAGE RECORD IF MIR. CRANE

Fifty years ago a company of ac- tors arrived, in Utica. N Y, and ill a primitive hall, in Hotel street, gave ar entertainment in which bight- faced, deep voiced lad sang a minor
 role. The youngsters name was Crane, Billy Crane He was learning to be an actor. In due time he learned his lesson and rose into better slIr-
 roundings and the dignity of an una
 bridged name. He has gained the top round of the ladder of his art and now, after half d century, comes as William H. Crane, the actor admired by the public and beloved by those who kno whim. He is sxty-eigh. years old.
 Crane as a mere boy had attracted attention as juvenile basso in Bos- ton church choir His first part was that of notary in The Child of the Regiment as sung by the Holman
 English Opera Company. This unique organization was directed by clever woman known simply as Mrs. Hol- man.
 A sudden illness that befell Ben Holman gave Crane his first real chance. Prior to this Mrs. Holman had heard his rather remarkable deep voice for one of his years and pre- vailed upon his mother to let him be apprenticed to her little company. The mother helped the boy to per- suade his father and, gaining his con- sent, he set sail upon the stage. hp vo of Inc early school. He could sing, dance, gag and do all things that are asked of a funmal<er in light opera. 1 The late '70s found Crane so well | established and in such demand that
 he was called to San Francisco and 1 served a number of years in that 1 city at big salary and became ! great favorite on the Pacific coast. | Cranes departure for the coast was l made an event in Chicago. He was ! given a farewell benefit which was l such success that his receipts wer, enough to make small bag full of 1 gold.
 i Of the individual hits Crane never 1 had one to excel The Senator" He 1 so endeared himself to all in that part that he is often referred to as The l Senator" And now he comes to us as
 Q member of the United States Sen 1 ate in Martha Morton's delightful | comedy, "The Senator Keeps House" l IL is a homely and delightful story i which reveals the Crane type at its best. 1t is of the present and yet it
 has flavor which links Crane to his 1 brilliant past. The public like him so well in it that MT. Crane has been
 forced to abandon some plans he had l for a series of pretentious revivals.
 and it is likely that he will be forced to continue in it for long while to | come.
 After fifty years of well earned honors Mrs. Crane loves his work and i the public esteem so well that we will | hope nothing will arise to prompt
 him to change his plans to continue 1 along his familiar path and give up
 the pleasure of often sitting within
 the glow of his good humor and his
 l sincerity.

TO The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Rather
than engage in a personal encounter
with ex-senator Fred Dubois of Idaho
Senator Poindexter yesterday went be-
fore the lobby investigating committee
and publicly retracted charges he madc
last week that Dubois was a lobby
ist.
When Poindexter's charge was
brought to the attention of Dubois
he camped on Poindexter g trail and
finally found him night before last.
He accused Poindexter of deliberately
living about him and demanded Of Poin-
dexter whether he knew personally that
he (Dubois) was n lobbyist, Not only
did Poindexter admit that he knew no
such thing. but said he had no proof
of his charge and had based it merely
on hearsay.
Dubois then told PoindeXter in pain
fully plain language that he had stated
before the committee something that
was untrue, and told him it was up
to him to publicly retract.
Poipdexter sought TO get off by tell
ing Dubois that he could when sum
moned tell the committee be was not
a lobbyist and could prove that Poin-
dexter's charge was unfounded and
that would clear up everything. That
was not satisfactory to Dubois. He said
be would not go before the committee
TO do any such thing but that Poin-
dexter having made the charge could
20 back and publicly retract what he
had said aud explain that he did not
know what he was talking about when
he accused Dubois of lobbying, land

way of handling men out our way who
make a practice of lying about others.
