Poor AmalSam.

The Republicans have been
Republicans and would-be Repub-
Iicans of Illinois started out a
little while ago With more vigor
than their brethren of other
States to "amalgamate." They
have been at work on it now for
several months. but there is ap-
parently something r a die ally
wrong wsth the brand Of ANAL
gam they are using. Not only
have they made no Roadway to-
ward bringing the Bullmoosers
back unGer the old banner, but
there are constant chickering's be
tween Deneen Republicans and
Lorim er Republicans. Their
United States senator doesn't
admit that he is either, and both
factions are ere fore about
ready to declare that Senator
Sherman isn't a Republican at
all.
And this is the old party that
used to hang 50 closely together
that a darning needle couldn't
have been driven through it with
a sledge hammer. Poor fellows!
They ought to know that when a
political party suddenly goes
smash with all the power in it's
hands, there is no possibility of
reconstruction. They are hav-
ing more unseemly family fuss
in Illinois than elsewhere, but
the hope of reunion is just as
vain in all the States. Men who
were members of it may work
schemes to control some State
patronage for a time, but the
Republican party is d ca d.

Prohibition Movement.

There was consumed in the
United States last year twice as
much whisky as in the year be-
fore. This means that there was
wasted in 1913 twice as much
money as in 1913, for, in the f.
nal analysis, money spent for
whisky brings nothing of intrin-
sic value to the consumer. Such
waste of money has, more than
anything else, given renewed i'm
petus to the prohibition move
ment which to-day is so increas-
ing in extent and power as to
compel senators and representa-
tives at Washington to feel that
at no distant date they must en-
act a national prohibitory law.
AS viewed by careful observ-
ers the prohibitory movement
has resolved itself into a cam
paign for human conservation.
1t is no longer necessary to pro-
claim whisky a poison. 1t is nc
longer necessary to demonstrate
the evil effects of this poison on
the human system-no longer
necessary to dwell upon the dis.
tress and sorrow that consump-
ton causes. 1t is only necessary
to emphasize waste of money,
and waste of human energy and
capacity for it is now generally
The Adair County news., 1914-03-18

realized that so great waste Of
money and men is a factor in the
economic life of the nation, es-
pecially as regards ineficieney.
In it's economic aspect the pro
hibitiOn movement is appealing
to thousands of men who have
heretofore regarded it more or
less a moral question. Employ
ers of labor drop from their pay
roll men who drink. Firms and
corporations raise wages of en-
ployes who do not drink. Great
captains of industry today give
the prohibition movement not
only moral but financial support,
to maintain the industrial efici-
ency of the nation. All such
men no longer temporize with
high license or low license but
demand prohibition, for purely
economic reasons. From such
support and for such reasons, the
prohibition movement is bound
to grow until it becomes bigger
than any party that ever advo-
Gated it.

Riverton, Mch., 1, 1914.

ANS"os
| have so often thought in the
days that are gone, | would
write to the dear old home paper
that comes as a welcome guest
to our home each week.
Fifteen years ago last January,
l left Kentucky to make this
State my home. Twice in that
time | have again visited the dear
old home State.
Now | am SO often asked the
question, if like Kentucky bet
ter than Nebraska? There will
always be a tender place in my
heart for Kentucky and her peo-
pie, but tenderer ties bind me
here.
Now | shall try to tell you
something of this town and State.
Riverton is a thriving town of
five hundred inhabitants, sit
uated near the Republican river,
six miles North of the Kansas
line. Our town consists of three
dry goods stores, two millinery
stores, two hardware stores, two
undertaking parlors, two restau-
rants, one drug store, one har-
ness shop, one hotel, one lumber
yard, one law office, one real es-
tate office, one printing office,
one telephone office, one flour
mill, two banks, three churches,
one high school building and one
depot.
The B. & M. railroad runs
through our town, and we have
six daily trains-tour passenger
and two freights.
Fruit of all kinds do we'll here.
We raise every thing here we did
in Kentucky.
Alfalfa is extensively grown
here, and a field of Alfalfa with
its sweet scented purple blossom
is a perfect garden of beauty and
perfume, and with rain enough,
alfalfa can be cut four times a
year.
Now, every sweet has it's bit
ter. and Nebraska, like all other
States, has her drawbacks. AS
a rule the winters are long and
very cold. This winter has been
an exception, as there has only
been a few days of zero weather.
We have the wolf, coyote,
prairie dog, jack and cotton tail
rabbit. The prairie dog, rattle
snake and Ovol make their home
together.
AS this is my first, will not
make it too long.
WIFE say for the benefit of our
many friends there, my father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs James
Dice, keep we'll for people OF
their age.
Will the Montpelier, Ozark,
Joppa and Glensfork correspond.
ents write often, as they are
near my old home. With best
wishes to The News and it's mans
readers, am respectfully,

Prohibition in Kansas.

y
of a paper by Gov. Stubs, of
that State:
The death rate in Kansas is the
lowest of any State or Nation on
earth-only q per thousand.
Under prohibition the popula-
ton has increased 100 per cent,
while the number of convicts
has only increased II per cent.
More than so per cent of the
county jails are without a pris-
oner under conviction, and last
year 40 out of los counties did
not send a prisoner to the PEN
itentiary.
The ratio of convicted prisoners
is one OFT Of every 1000 inhab-
itants, while rs per cent of the
Jail prisoners have been convict
ed for violation OF the prohibit
tory law.
Of the 8O5 convicts only 143
are natives Of Kansas.
Fifty seven of the los counties
have no inmates of their poor
farms.
Fifty-four counties are without
an idiot, and eighty-seven with
out an insane person in the asy-
lums.
The first few years of prohibi-
ton showed decrease of four
per cent of divorce cases.
Ninety-SiX counties have not
an inebriate. Six of the nine
counties bordering on the wet
section of Missouri.
In education this is the status;
Kansas has a permanent school
fund of 100000, most of it
invested in municipal bonds of
the cities of Kansas, which offer
the safest kind of an investment
There are normal schools estab-
lished in 100 of the 105;counties.
During the last nine years the
enrolment of the State Univer-
sity has increased from 1,15O to

young people attending denom-
national institutions, and 4,54S
attending business colleges.
School property is worth $4,000

There are 700 newspapers and
magazines and SO per cent of
them will not admit liquor adver-
tiSements to their columns.
The first twenty years of pro-
hibition reduced illiteracy 40 per
cent,
The increase in wealth within
