that will be held in Topeka on Abra-
hom Lncoln's birthday.
Back in the days when Kansas was
asking for admission to the Union,
when the north wanted it for free
state and the south for a slave state,
Lincoln made a speech in Philadel-
phia favoring its admission. A tablet
has been placed in Philadelphia
street on the spot where Lincoln stood
when he made that address. Mr.. Ar
thur Capper, as governor Of this state,
has received a letter from Pennsyl-
vania. suggesting that Kansas be pre-
sented with a flag from Pennsylvania
on Lincoln's birthday. and Kansas will
also give a flag to Pennsylvania. The
Kansas branch of the ID. A. r. will
give the flag on Kansas day to the
governor, for presentation to the state

Several Wichita people were at the

His Magic Bank Account.

At one time the famous author Rud-
yard Kipling always used to pay his
bills, no matter how small they hap
pened to lie, by check. After awhile
he discovered, to his amazement, that
his banking account showed much
bigger balance than the copnterfoils Of
his check book warranted. In fact, al
though he was drawing checks for
small amounts almost daily, his money
at the bank did not seem to dwindle
in the least.
For long time he was at loss to
account for this astonishing fact until
one day, happening to visit an office
where the principal was an enthusiastic
autograph collector, he saw one Of his
own checks framed and hanging on
the wall.
Then it was that the mystery was
solved. 1t appeared that the local shop
keepers found that they could get more
for Kipling's checks by selling them to
autograph hunters than they could by
cashing them at the bank, and thus it
was that, although the author kept on
drawing money, his capital remained
almost stationary.

Animals at Play.

"That the lower animals do not
laugh, that they have no sense of hts
NOR, is hard to understand when we
think how thoroughly they love to
play. From the highest to the hum
blest they show the keenest joy in
sport, but they cannot laugh. If they
could perhaps the power would bring
with it other mental gifts, such as to
upset the whole order of things Be
that as it may. the watcher of wild
life never gets used to the sight of
their mirthless sport, for in ali other
respects their play is entirely human.
"A great deal of human play is Sc
rious-desperately serious on the foot

cially when lonely player at soil

church" So they are in favor of pro-
hibition. In Pittsburgh, Pa, after the
saloons closed on Sunday, people
went to the theater or the movies, so
they were closed. The only places
open were those temples of supersti-
ton known as the churches. What
is worse? To let a drunk drink or
force all to become spiritually drunk
and blind by throwing off all indepen-
dence and going to church and mem
tai decay. Thus prohibition encour-
ages mental and physical slavery.
People are more enlightened and lib
eral and Immediately capital and its
henchman, religion, proceed to take
it out of them. The result will be as
in all cases of prohibition. Stealing
is prohibited. John D. and Andy Car
negie are heroes. Murder is prohib-
tied. Ludlow and Calumet are still
fresh in our minds. There was a
cause for the stealing of Carnegie and
the murder by Rockefeller of the
Ludlow victims. To prohibit didn't
stop it. We must remove the cause
and sky pilots and metaphysical
cranks won't find it for us. Neither
will the capitalists. So let us all look
about and think and well conclude
that unnatural conditions will, not
produce natural results. Give us all
the fresh air, good food and clothing
that we need and intemperance will
disappear. Be temperate, especially
in working, that you may have time
to think. Then be man, for you
can't help it, and that will be the end

the quack remedies and patent medi-
cines offered to society prohibition is
most in evidence. The proposition
our dear and expensive reformers put
up to us is: People drink immoder-
ately. Prohibit drinking and they
will stop" Two classes of people are
behind the prohibition movement,
the brewers and the Protestant cler-
gy. If we look into the motive of
their inaction we shall be convinced
of their insincerity.
If the saloons are closed people
who want alcoholic liquors will have
to buy from the brewery. This will
mean cheaper liquor for the consum-
er and more profits for the brewer,
as the retailers profits go to him. Low
prices mean greater demand. The
conclusion is that prohibition encour-
ages intemperance.
On Sunday many go to church,
more to the saloon. Churchgoers in
