OWN EFFICIENCY HAS BECOME A TOTAL
ABSTAINER.
France is dying nation, there are more deaths
than births. Medical science has proven that there is
no value in beer, that it produces many harmful dis
cases. among which, cirrhosis of the liver and
sumption, and that it weakens the SYSTEM making it
more liable to all contagious diseases.
Towns that have eliminated the saloon have dem

the return of the saloon. Is that settlement of

merchants and manufacturers practically unit in
opposition to the saloon.
We have i'll our files letters from mayors Judges
states attorneys from than a hundred cities in
Kansas, and the universal testimony is that the law
is as we'll enforced any law upon the statute books
In Kansas drinking has practically ceased among
the great mass Of its citizens.
1t is only in communities which have recently abol-
lshed saloons where blind tigers and the illicit selling
OF liquor exists to any large degree.
AS the years go the topers die off and move
away and the sober industrious citizenship learn better
how to enforce the law and in the course of a few
years drinking Of all kinds practically disappears from
the community.

Why Does the Chicago American
Defend Beer?

In the Evening American OF August Is, there is
half-page editorial on
ONE GREAT NATIONAL QUESTION IS
THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
1t hasn't been solved by saloonkeepers and hasn't
been solved by Prohbionsts 1t hasn't been solved by
clergymen.
country editors might solve it We submit to them
point of view There in this country about
editors of local newspapers and so-caled metropolitan
papers, big and little.

especially THE COUNTRY EDITORS.
What the public school teachers the children, the
editors who do their duty faithfully houghtfuly the
grown and women
They give to their readers only their thoughts
opinions the thoughts opinions others-the
current knowledge and thought of the day.
To the editors of this country say this: YOU CAN
SOLVE THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION IF YOU
WILL BY COMPELLING YOUR READERS TO THINK
UPON IT WITH CONCENTRATION AND TO DIS
CUSS IT SANELY.
Then the writer Of this editorial assumes an att-
tude of superior wisdom.
Looking down upon the liquor question he offers
the greatest of -information fasehood decep

sble to frame together in equal number Of words
He states with all the ponderosity of maxims abb

We would like to know few things regarding
this editorial.
Who inspired it?
What is the purpose of it?
If the ideas advanced could be carried out, who
would profit most largely?
WHAT WOULD 1T BE WORTH TO THE

Nonchalantly she mentioned to the
customers the extravagant prices of
these things, amazed no longer at
the thought that there we're women
who could pay for a ball dress what
would keep her and her mother for
almost year. =
On her way home at night, walk
ing for choice along the fine avenues
as far as possible, through dusk
gemmed with golden lights clustered
before the porticoes Of great hotels
and restaurants, she was tormented
constantly with jealousy. She saw,
before canopied doorways, ladies de-
scending from their carriages, climb
ing the carpeted steps, their long
trains trailing after them like tum-
bling foam. Doors opened to them,
disclosing the interiors of splendid
houses, and shut while she looked
longingly. Beyong the deserted ter
races of restaurants, she perceived,
through long windows, by the aid of
candles lit on snowy tables, white
shoulders, flowers, strands of pearls,
outstretched fingers glittering with
rings vague people moving in an
other world.
She observed also the men who ac-
companied these, fortunate women.
From observing them, and. from the
perusal of stories in magazines and
in novels which she borrowed, she
made more dreams dreams no less
personal, dreams of the sort which
young girls have. From actual per
ception and from fiction she con-
structed the young hero, the in
evitable Prince handsome, debonair,
aristocratic, always dressed for the
evening in glistening hat and pumps
and a fur-lined great coat, always, at
the end of the adventures in which
she perceived him, taking her in his
arms.
And yet, walking with burning,
hungry eyes in that fair region, crav-

of the fiat, she knew exactly what to

on the mantel-piece, the broad brown
stain on the ceiling where the water

tails always the same!
One evening, the monotony of
their existence was broken in
startling way. There was rumble
and a crash on the staircase, clatter
of feet, woman's screams. Every
one rushed into the halls.
A glass-cutter who lived with his
wife and three small children across
the, hall-a great brute of man who
spent his money on liquor as he earn
ed it and every Saturday night ap-
peared before his family Keeling had
come home drunk, slipped on the last
staircase and fallen down it.
