Kansas about four years ago prohibit
ing the sale of liqaors for any pur-
pose except for sacramento use,
which was ridiculed at the time by
many fair-minded men, has fully
demonstrated that the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors, for even medicinal or
mechanical purposes is not necessary.
In short, it has been demonstrated be-
yond the question of a doubt that in
toxicating liquors do not in any sense
come under the head of necessities,
and thus the last faint argument for
their continued manufacture and sale
has failed.

Champion Complains That Vets Split
Their Own Vote

Below we quote from the report of the primary
election as given by the Champion Of Fair Play, the
official liquor paper OF Illinois.
Here is emphasized the fact that a division Of the
vote spells defeat. In this instance it was the VETS
who used the poor judgment Of having too many can
didates in the field. Our friends are learning that we
can win if we will concentrate Our vote on the proper
number of candidates:
The most aggravating part of this was in one district where
four wet and one dry candidate were running. OF course, the
wet votes being SO split up the dry candidate was nominated BY
a very small majority.

but he would not. He came III at the tail end of the race, but
he pulled enough votes to allow the drys to win. If he had
sense enough to realize what others think of him he would not
be a happy man.
The Anti-Saloon League is jubilant over this victory, as II
gives them an advantage of one in the senate, in which they
have been doubtful.

quors. Denatured alcohol is largely
taking the place of spirits in the arts.
Hundreds of drug stores have ceased
to sell the stuff, the great chain of
Liggett drug stores throughout the
United States just a few weeks ago

Scientific Investigations and expert
ments along various lines have finally
established the fact that Intoxicating
liquors are no longer necessary for any
purpose. For long years, the mistaken
idea that intoxicating liquors were es-
sential for medicinal, pharmaceutical,
sacramental or scientific purposes
fooled the public. The great hospitals
o. the world, however, during the past
20 years have largely done away with
the use of intoxicants. Many of the

involving several hundred acres OF
Washita valley land valued at a sum

aside a deed aud revoke the action
transferring the Oklahoma City prop
erty from J. w. Gillespie to o. S. Pen
ny. on the ground that in making the
deal the defendant in action, J. w.

made, Gillespie stated to Penny that
the property at Oklahoma City was
bringing a monthly rental Of about
500, that there was q mortgage Of
$4,000 on said property due in three
and one half years from the date Of
the contract and that instead. the
property brought only about half the
rental stated BY Mr.. Gillespie ard that
$4,000 OF the mortgage became due
q few months after the deal was con
summated. namely, $4,000 in 1872. and
$4,000 in 1913.
According to the terms Of the trade,
Penny was to assume the $4,000 in
debtedness against the Oklahoma City
property and Gillespie was TO assume
a mortgage amounting to some $4,000
against the farm lands transferred TO
Gillespie by Penny
In the answer filed by the defend
ant. all allegations made by the plain
tiff are denied and it is declared that
the defendant came into all the facts
pertaining to the property practically
when the deal was closed. and collect

port to the senate by Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson today in answering the
request for Information which the
postoffice department had collected on
The subject
The report stated that the only way
to afford modern postal facilities was
to declare monopoly of telegraph,
telephone and radio communication
and other means OF transmission which
may develop later by purchase at the
appraised value of commercial tele-
phone Systems, exempting farmers

1t was suggested that congress au-
thorize the issuance of revocable H.
censes for the private operation OF
the telegraph service and the part Of
the phone service not acquired by the
government. The report was com
plete endorsement of the plan adyanc-
ed by Representative Lewis.
The report states that service is ex-
tended by private ownership on con
sideration of profit while government
ownership considers the needs Of the
people and would reach the masses as
the postoffice does.
Longer delay in the acquisition Of
telephone lines will entail greater
cost 1t is declared that the Bell com
pany is working assidiously toward
nationwide monopoly" 1t is insisted
that the postal and telephone systems
can be economically merged
The acquisition of long distance
lines is suggested first and later local

1t is stated that the property to be
acquired is worth nine hundred mil
lions. but the cost to the government
will be less because exchange build
ings and other property not needed

ment plan and by bond issue is pro
