That Prohibition Amend
 ment. Objections

Let me in this article mention some objections that are raised.
 First I have to thank MT. Wright of Tucson for setting me right as to the relative death rate and per capita wealth in Kansas. A few years ago the death rate of Kansas was only 5.7 per thousand. Only a few weeks ago according to the press the governor of Kansas quoted those figures as the basis of a statement to the effect that Kan sas had the lowest death rate in the country. However it seems that the death rate has since ad- vanced to a fraction more than 10 per thousand. That is low death rate but not the lowest.
 Mir. Wright also took exception to my argument for the properity of Kansas. Here is a statement from a banker of Lawrence, Kan: Since the state has had prohi- bition on it's statute books there is more money per capita by near ly double than under the anti prohibition regime. The bankers of the state would stand as one man against repeal of the prohi- bition law"
 Here is another from a Topeka banker. ''The overwhelming conscesus of opinion of the bank CTS of the state is in favor of the prohlbitorY law"
 Another testifes, "I was for merIy sheriff of this county. During my term of office four fifths of the crime was directly or indirectly caused by liquor. Since we have had prohibition law, our jail has been practically empty"
 Many such witnesses there are. Another stock objection is that prohibition does not prohibit. Perhaps it does not-in Holbrook. But why not? Is it not for lack of strong public sentiment and officers are not afraid and be- lleve in enforcement? By the 1 testimony of prominent persons prohibition is now enforced in Kansas nearly as we'll as other laws against crime. Laws will not enforce themselves and good laws will sometimes be violated just as there have re- gently been some cases of burglary in Winslow. Similarly when the people came to realize that the liquor traffic is a public peril, that it tends to degenerate and impoverish, there will be very effective enforcement of prohibition. Vote for prohibibi- ton and against the eight year local option law.
 Respectfully,
 Carl M. Ross.

put will be extended SO that there will
be yards between each man. But not
Wlthstanding this extension formation,
the machine guns n rifles of the de-
lenders should do their work.
The popular mind always looks on
cavalry as a most efficient fighting
unit. 1t is but its efficiency daily is
becoming less. In the European war It
is doubtful if cavalry will be at all eff
fective against anything except other
cavalry.
"a regiment Of cavalry could not
charge a regiment Of infantry without
the loss Of practically every horse and
man. The cavalry's value lies in its
ability to make quick moves, to at
tack suddenly on the flank while a for
ward movement is being made, or to
attack in the rear.
The cavalry's value for reconnoit-
ering Is being decreased daily by the
use of aeroplanes. Airships have been
found far the better of the two for
purposes of reconnaissance.
eff there should be another battle at
Waterloo in this war, where regiments
occupied a few yards when Napoleon
was defeated. they will occupy miles in
this war.
THE entire science of warfare has
been changed so much in the last quar-
ter of a century that it remains for
the present conflict in Europe to de-
term1ne whether it is still possible for
armies to survive battle fought with
the modern Instruments Of DEATH"

eermany's Wonderful Challenge.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Merely as. a piece of military confidence,
Germany's challenge of Europe is wonder-
Italy has declared its neutrality. There
remains the dual alliance Austria-Hun-
gary has its hands full with the veteran
army of Servia. trained in two wars. 1t
cannot give a fun measure of aid to Ger
many. The two Teutonic empires are al
most entirely surrounded by foes,
of the Belgians. 1t may make belligerents
Of the Dutch. 1t might even make bel
l%ig,erents of the Danes. Except for such
aid as Austria, hampered by an active foe,
can give. Germany is isolated.
Frederick the Great never faced such
odds as Wilhelm II now meets. The new
element of speed in warfare is in the equa-
ton. Distance is not the same protection.
Armies are raised and moved so swiftly
that the tactics of Frederick in selecting
his enemies and dealing with them singly
may not have time or opportunity.
This eruption of armed men has been in
the dreams of military strategists for a
decade or more. The assumption has been
that Germany must meet and destroy
France in time to turn and meet Russia.
Speed was considered the essence Of sue
cess. To be checked, even by the obstacle
OF Belgium denying access to French ter
ritory, may be fatal.
There need be no sentiment wasted over
the violation of Belgian neutrality. II
was necessary for Germany 10 violate it.
1t was necessary for Great Britain to 20
to war for it. 1t was necessary for Bel
GUM to defend it. But there is no cues
ton of international morals to be raised,
except automatically, or hypocritically-
possibly one and the same thing just now.
When necessity presses and national life
is at stake treaty obligations are finder
in the flame. To be punctilious in. emer-
gency was all right when war was a pro-
%fession, a gentlemanly occupation. a di-
version or an amusement. When a ma
tons life is in the balance the small equi-
ties do not exist. Belgium is Germany's II
she can dominate 1t. international nor
ais do not exist. A nation had better have
an historian find fault with 1t living thar
praise its virtues at an inquest.
Germany has not yet her back to the
wall, but she has enemies on all sides.
German efficiency may be in fact the
equivalent of the legend. If so, that eff.
cheney is more than human. Such odds
never have been accepted before.

FACE FULL OF PIMpLEs

424o So. California Ave, Chicago. III.
About a year ago my face was full
Of pimples and red spots. To sleep
one night without itching was almost
impossible. Some Of the pimpIes
would get big and red and If / touched
them they would pain, while others
would get white heads on them and
when they broke open some matter
came out. They would burn and itch
and I scratched them SO that ONE
times they would break and bleed.
That always caused them to be worse.

creams and I found out that they did
me no good. ! noticed the Cuticura

WITH TRAGEDY in HIS MIND
Husband Dashed Home In Response

Smithson said a thunderstorm ~

be pardoned If his solicitude erceeded
his sober judgment. He was at his of

asked: George, dear, can you come
home right away?" he said, "yess

AUTO BRINGS NEW PAIN;
HAVE YOU CAUGHT 1T?

All is not joy and peace for the own
er of an automobile. The man who
owns and operates a luxuriously up
holstered car and drives serenely up
and down the streets is in danger Of
being afflicted with a disease that will
nev trouble the pedestrian whose on
ly acquaintance with automobiles con-
sists in lodging them.
Some 20 Sioux City men are now
suffering with a form Of sciatic rheu-
matism caused by the continuous op-
GRAFTON of the clutch pedal. This at
least is the explanation offered by the
physicians treating the cases. Some
of the patients limp painfully when
they try self locomotion while others
are obliged to use canes.
Affects Leg Nerves.
The doctors say that the continuous
operation Of the clutch has an effect
upon the nerves of the leg and that in
the course Of two years 1T becames
quite painful. The ailmen becomes
especially noticeable after a long drive
across country.
The driver suffers slight pains dur
ing the evening and the next morning
he Is scarcely able to walk. The pain
extends from the knee to the ankle
n in a few cases extends the entire
length of the left leg and into the
spinal column. The only relief is TO
abandon the automobile for a lille
