VETO OF THE WEBB BILL.

President Taft vetoed the Webb bill
to prohibit the shipment of liquor into
dry states. as it was generally be-
lieved he~Would do. His grounds Tor
declining to sign the measure were
that it is unconstitutional because II
gave the states the right to interfere
with sinterstatee commerce. Probably
he was glad to have SO good a reason,
for it is well known that the presi-
dent, although not a drinker himself
is no friend TO .prohibitory laws
He expressed his Views on that sub
ject quite plainly to Topeka au-
dience on the occasion of visit here
while he was secretary of war.
The prohibition movement has ex-
tended its scope far since it was
started in Kansas and eliminated in
the adoption of the amendment S3
years ago.
Since then there has been con-
tinuous fight waged to make the laws
more stringent and to render it i'm
possible for anybody to obtain liquor
for any purpose.
As long as they were dealing with
the state legislature the prohibition
lists have been able to get whatever
they have asked for in the way or
laws In appealing to the federal
government to help them the task has
proven not so easy, although congress
has responded favorably.
Now that the presidents veto has
been overridden the Webb bill still
will be forced to run the gauntlet Of
the United States supreme court. The
president appears to have had an idea
what the court would do to it, and
he. is conceded to be a good judge of
constitutional law.
For wears prohibitionists have tr1eo
to get a measure like the Webb bill
through congress. The friends OF the
measure contend that it will be
great aid to prohibition and toward
suppression of the Ubiquitous iqcor
traffic The liquor interests will fight
the Webb law and will of course hope
for adverse action from the supreme
court.
Stripped of its legal verbiage the
Webb act of congress of special i'm
portance to Kansas. reads as follows:

EVENING CHAT
Sympathy Selfsllness.
By RUTH CAMERON.


well, 1 just do enjoy having that
woman come here. because 1 can pour
out all my woes to her and she is AL
ways ready to sympathize with me, -
1 heard woman say the other dav
of one of her friends.
ana wondered as listened wheth-
er that friend could say in return, 1T
Just love to visit that woman"
I doubt it.
She was evidently good enough to
permit this wholesale raid on her
sympathies. But that does not mean
that she enjoyed it. No one could.
and the people who thus abuse other
folks willingness to sympathize with
them are just as foolish and thought
less as those who ride any other kind
of a free horse % DEATH
one OF the most common kinds of
egotisn is sympathy selfshness. In
the eyes of people who have this fanit
a good friends best use is as a safety
valve for their troubles. Some hus-
bands and more wives, look upon their
co-partners in this way, and look for
ward to the meeting after the days
work is done as an opportunity for
pouring out all the troubles and an
noyances of the day. Heaven pity the
man or woman with such a heIpmeet.
He needs it. With all the pity he has
to give out. he hasn't any left for him
self.
Other people write letters in this
spirit. Apparently the feel of the
pen recalls to them all the troubles
and annoyances which they have had
since they wrote last Somehow it
relieves my mind and makes me feel
less unhappy to write out my trou-
bles," I heard one of the victims of
this habit say. For such people let
me suggest what Abraham Lincoln
said to Stanton when the latter was
about to post a very sharp letter which
he had written. The president had
seen the letter and approved it, but
wren Stanton prepared to mali 1t he
appeared surprised. What! You
aren't.going to send it," he said,-I
quote the spirit rather than the let
ter,-"don't do that, man. You've
written it and relieved your mind; it's
served its purpose. Now throw it in
the wastebasket."
Those who demand an unreasonable
share of sympathy are stealing their
friends vitality. Anyone who has
ever had anything to do with a ner-
vous invalid, especially one who is sub
ject to depression and needs continual
dous drain that is. In a less degree
the person who is sympathy selfish,
drains his friends.
Do not think I am saying that one
should never ask sympathy from ones
friends. On the contrary, sympathy
Is the very breath and life Of friend
ship. Friendship without sympathy
is body without a soul. But all the
more because 1t is such a precious and
wonderful thing one should not try
to make it too common. An over
taxed sym pathy is sure to become en-
feebled. Is it not better to be care
full not to abuse this precious privi-
and strong sympathy when we really
need it?
