LITTLE PARABLE OF uFE]

will tell you a little parable. Each
life is like wonderful castle, with
hundreds of mysterious rooms.
Through the whole expanse of that
castle runs broad, comfortable pas
sage-ultimateIy leading to the small
room that contains an honored and
peaceful deathbed
If you would be safe, you must stay
in this passage You must pass by
without opening them the hundreds of
alluring DOORS You must pass with
out following them the secret wind
ing stairs leading up or down to I'M
known places
You will never know all you really
own You will never see the festive
hall with it's brilliant reyels, nor the
taper-lit chapel with its mystic costa
sies-you will never find the hidden
chamber with its lotus joys, nor the
romantic balcony with it's bizarre as
semblage-you will never reach the
tiny tower room with its view across
land and sea and up into the skies.
-. And you will never see the
dark cells where weird things are
kept-nor the CHASTITY dungeon deep
down below the ground, where one
lies sobbing and bleeding and broken.
and whence there is no returning.

castle-said Christine-and I fear ]

this Is the year of all years to use the

In this necessary policy of economy,
l hope we may see the desirabality OF
restraint in creating needless legis-
Iation. We make too many laws. Our
need is not more laws, but laws made
SO plain, so simple, so direct and so

know them and understand them and

the result that stily-drawn, ill-con-

people. l hope the Kansas legislature
of 1915 will give most careful consid-

form of every measure which comes
before it, that our people may have
constructive legislation and be spared

POINT In CHILD EDUCATION

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

There has been a genuine effort in
Kansas to incorporate into our body
politics fundamental, moral ideas. We
have tried to base our laws upon eter-
nal truths which tend to righteous
ness. Kansas comes nearer giving
every man, woman and child within
it's borders an absolutely square deal
and equal chance in every department
of life than any other commonwealth
in this union. Our material pros
perity, our high standards of public
morals, our personal well-being are
largely due to the fact that for more
than thirty years the open saloon has
been an outlaw in this state Our ply
steal development has not been stunt
ed, and our moral sense has not been
blunted by the degenerating influ-
ences of drink. There cannot be any
temporizing with the liquor curse, nor
should there be any compromise with
its partner in crime, the red light dis
trict.
To Lead in National Prohibition.
The record Kansas has made in
proving that prohibition does prohibit:

enactment as part of our funda-
mental law, makes it incumbent upon
