A Temperance
T ak to Voters
JASON KEEP

A Criminal factory.
A Murderer factory.
A White Slave Traffic factory.
And last, but not least, a Circus Bust
ing factory.
These new factories fourished like a
green bay tree, waxed opulent, fat and
powerful,
The board of trades cup of joy was
full; indeed it was Intoxicating.
But somehow it did not work out just
as they had figured. The new factories
formed trust and took possession of
the city, and to show their power chang
ed the name to Soak Land, and so it is
known in the neighboring sections even
unto the present day.
They also decided that the Angel fac
tories must 60, as they interfered with
their business, besides they needed their
laborers.
Soon the Angel factories began to go
ION the bum." and were working only
one day in the week and the laborers
were few.
The stockholders kept cutting down
expenses until about the only laborers
left were the SKY Pilots" and their
wages were cut to the minimum. and
paid partly by donation parties and in
notices. God Bless Our Home, God
Will Provide, Jesus Paid 1t ALL"
When at last the people began to see
light and murmured, the trust sent
smooth diplomats to inform the people
that they had grown too great and pow
erful to be put out of business; it had
become ''divine right" They said,
you can't stop US, you must regulate
US, so we will ruin only part of the peo-
pie and the balance can work hard and
support them. And so it drifted along
for years, collecting Sl50,00O a year
from the people and causing $3.50, 900
loss of labor each year from DRINKS and
getting over DRINKS, or $500, 900 year
taken from the community. besides the
wrecks, deaths, widows and orphans.
Their burden was indeed grievous to
bear.
You can try an Americans patience
so far and then there is something
doing.
They called a consultation of all the
people in the whole Garrett and formu-
lated plan to put the whole bunch OF
Bum factories out of commission, to
throw off the yoke and become free
men, to change the name back of o. K.
Land and make it once more a good
place to live and raise family.
Will they do it? Have they enough
backbone? We hope so.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
Gambling.
To the Editor of The Republican:

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Resuming the subject where left off
in my last, let me ask if you would have
ministers and their families engage in
the game? How, then, can Christians
do it? Would you have the Master come
into your company while engaged in the
game? Would He not be grieved and
look sad at the party there present?
When He was hanging on the cross there
was contention. regarding the division
of His clothing. One would take one
part and another another part, and an
other would take the robe. What that
seamless robe? There was contention
as to who should have it. How settle
it? 1t was suggested that they gamble
for it. To that they agreed. So they
gambled for it at the feet of the dying
Saviour. At the cross where Gods Son
was writing in agony, under the hiding
of the divine face, while friends were
heart broken, disciples cast down and
enemies scoffing, while nature groaned
and the universe was shocked, the
heavens were darkened and the earth
quaked, the sun refused to shine and
the heather thought the world was at
an end or the God of Nature suffered,
yet they gambled for the Lords seam
less robe. That was the only gambling
party that we know of Jesus being at.
If the Lord would not attend them a
Christian should not.
You know the story of the pet tiger,
the playful kitten-Eke thing, when it
grew into a strong animal one day got
the smell of blood on the masters hand
and instantly the sleeping instincts of
the wild tiger flashed in it's blood thirsty
eyes. The pet was aroused to kill and

Not many years ago this social game
was an innocent pet, but now it is a

eyes kindled by the rapacious instincts

O.K.LAND.

Once upon time when the earth be-
came densely populated in the section
near the sea, bunch of hardy pioneers
banded together and departed upon a
journey westward, to seek out a new
home.
They travelled on and on until they
came to beautiful high plateau of fer
tile land, watered by sparkling springs
and silvery streams.
Here they settled down and builded
homes. AS it was the top of the Appa-
lachian range of mountains next to the
roof of the earth, they called their sec
ion the Garrett and so it it is known
even unto the present day.
Then they decided to build city (for
all rich sections must have city to
move into after they become wealthy
and independently. so they picked out a
beautiful spot just where the B. & o.
intended to run when it started on its
western journey. and everybody was
happy for awhile.
About that time some enterprising
individual said, "a city without factories
is on the bum So they called meet
ing and organized board of trade and
the board of trade got busy.
The first in order was to name the
city. After due elaboration they deci-
ded that as everything was o. X. to
call the city o. X. Land. and so o. X.
Land it was named.
Then they began to hustle for facto-
ries. The first thing they did was to
take up a subscription and build five
Angel making factories and two Educa-
tional factories. These factories grew
apace for there was abundance of good
timber and the people were prosperous,
happy and contented. and 1t became
known throughout the whole universe
that o. X. Land was fine place to live
and raise family.
Then the live-wire board of trade de-
clded that they must nave dlVerslneo
line of industries, for if they built any
more Angel factories they might over
stock the market, raise the price of
wings and haloes, bring on panic and
much suffering and misery be caused
thereby.
So they diversified.
After deep thought and much labor
they succeeded in bringing in the fol-
lowing factories:
A Jim-Jam factory.
A Delirium Tremen factory.
A Pauper factory.
An Insane factory.
A Home Wrecking factory.
An Orphan factory.

reader Was Fibbino,

New York, May 26.-J. P. Morgan
characterized as untrue the testimony
OF Charles S. Mellen, former head of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad, before the interstate
commerce commission in Washington
last week, that J. Pierpont Morgan
concealed from Mr.. Mellen facts re-
garding the New Haven road which
MIR. Mellen should have known.
Mr.. Morgan offered to produce be-
fore any proper tribunal at any time
the records of ]. P. Morgan & Co. and
the personal records of his father.
Taking full responsibility upon him
self for the change in the roads presi-
dency by which Mr.. Mellen resigned
and gave way to another, Mr. Morgan
said it was untrue that his father in
any sense took from Mr.. Mellen the

House of Commons Quiet When Pas.
sage Vote Is Announced.
London, May 26.-The floor and gal
leries of the house of commons were
filled to the limit for the third reading
and final passage of the home rule
bill.
There was at first feeling of ex-
pectancy-a feeling that something
might happen, but nothing did, and
the bill passed with a majority of
seventy-seyen, of which seventy-four
votes were cast by Irish Nationalist.
In the chamber the result was re-
ceived with wonderful calmness.
There was cheering but no great
demonstration. Outside in the central
hall the enthusiasm of the waiting
Nationalist was more unrestrained.
Following are some of the terms of
the home rule bill:
Imperial parliament remains SUI
preme, but Ireland is given real au-
thority in regard to purely Irish af-
fairs, subject to certain reservations
and safeguards.
irish parliament, TO sit in Dublin,
consisting of a senate of forty mem
bers and a house of commons of 1874
members, elected by existing constit-
uencies.
Power ~of Irish parliament subject
to territorial limitation" No authority
to deal with questions of peace and
war, army, navy or treason.
Irish parliament prohibited from di-
rectly or indirectly establishing or
endowing any religion, from giving
any preference or privilege or i'm
posing any disability on account Of
religious belief.
Lord lieutenant, appointed by
crown, will have power to veto laws
which go beyond constitutional powers
of Irish parliament.
Forty-two Irish members will sit in
imperial parliament at Westminster,
instead of 103 as at present.

NOT IN KANSAS SCHEME.
ut was hot summer day, says the
Emporia Kan Gazette. 1T was also
dusty. One hundred and fifty men were
riding from town to town in Central
Kansas, in autos, on a trade extension
tour. They were Kansas men-mer-
chants. lawyers, doctors, editors,
clerks, mechanics, bankers, farmers.
From time to time they stopped at
thirteen towns during the days run.
No one in the crowd spoke OF beer.
No one had any beer. No one at the
thirteen towns offered anyone any beer.
At most of the towns there were great,
deep. stone jars of iced lemonade on
the side walks with bright tlncups hang
ing from the jars, and sign up, Wei
come, Emporians.' There was no
whiskey, wine or beer in the crowd.
No one missed it. No one spoke of it.
For these men. ranging from thirty to
sixty years of age, had lived IN Kansas
thirty years under absolute prohibition.
most of them had never been in a saloon
in their home town in their lives.
Booze was as remote from their con-
seriousness as carbolic acid Booze is

one thinks of it. Its presence or alb
sence is not considered by the Kansas
mind"
THE WAY THE TRADE SEES 1T.
Three men talked together in one of
ChIcago's big hotels a few days ago.
The eldest, about sixty-five years of
age, had been in the liquor business
since he was boy of eight; the other
two had spent the larger part of their
lives in it. Their conclusions was that
its days are numbered. The older man,
a wholesale dealer of some reputation,
at last gave it as his opinion that they
would all have to get out of the bust
ness by 1920.
