noon. Cheers and tears flooded Ho-

Beside Bryan stood Thomas A. Edi-

men and women. And out of these
ten thousand, one man went insane
and jumped into the water.
He jumped, saying he'd swim be-

Public opinion was forcing him to do
it, he said. He made a clear dive
right beneath the outstretched arm
of Mr.. Bryan. And then he started
to swim. 1t took the crew of the

fish the man out of the cold river.
They took him to St. Mary's Hospital.

Bleeding Kansas Again

Now along the Kansas State Tax COM
mission with the usual Kansas story.
The commission has completed its equalization
of assessment values OF all property in the state and
fixed the state tax levy.
1t is shown that the assessed valuation of all
property in the has increased $79oooooo in the
year.
The total assessed valuation in 1914 amounted to
$2,8o48Io,oo2.
In 1915 the valuation $28S4337,535.
How is that for state that is ruined" by the
'bight" of Prohibition?
This is not an abnormal or spasmodic growth
caused by the installation of great industrial mining
operations It is the steady, normal growth of a
purely agricultural state that has been "afcted'
with the blight of Prohibition" That's all.
Some of these Eastern license states that
planning about abandoned farms" should sit up and
take notice.
If some of these license states, bordering
bankruptcy, would eliminate the frghtul waste Of the
rum-shop perhaps their assessed valuation would in
crease at the rate of $79,oooooo per year.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

Not in all history, not in the corrupt reign OF
Louis XIV in France has large percentage of the pub
lies been squandered and stolen right here in Jack
county This deporable condition is the direct result
of the absolute control of the countys politics. both Demo
cratic and Republican, exercised by the brewery and saloon
interests for the last Is years.
Who will say that Jackson county and Kansas
City would not be better off financially, to say moth
ing of the moral benefits accrung, with the saloons
and the saloon revenue abolished?

Beer Rule

The Kansas City Star of July Is reports an ad-
dress delivered at picnic at Oak Grove by Judge
William H. Wallace. Judge Wallace had made ex-
tensve Investigations of the county records OF Jack
son county, and in this address told the people how
the county funds had been squandered, as direct
result of brewery domination in politics.
Judge Wallace backed up his statements with
of county government, and, whether his topic was
roads, deputies, motor cars, what not, he showed
up the same of wholesale fraud and dishonesty
His exposure of this fraud is to question
that to bother some folks, namely: How can
city deliberately deprive itself Of saloon license
money without being financially embarrassed. when,
with the license money, it finds it difficult to
take care of its running expenses"
The fact is that cities and states that have given
Prohibition a fair trial discover that not only are
they not embarrassed through lack of funds, but
in better condition financially than they when
they were receiving license money into the treasury
The reason is plain The most corrupting influence
in politics. of which Judge Wallace speaks, the brew
cry and saloon influence, has been given quietus
We quote from the speech of Judge Wallace:
Jackson county is dominated, absolutely dominated by
the brewere been for years Beer has held
noninay in power. This control has brought about
of affairs that has been equaed for corruption
in this or any other county.

of Wayne county, N. Y
He was candidate for the Republican nomina-

Mr.. Belts also member of the Consttu-
tiona Convention sitting in Albany.
On account of the death of Serene E. Payne,
Belts the logical man, politically, for the
gressional nomination and election.
But, in the interest of the liquor oligarchy, Mr.
Belts started out to wipe the Anti-Saoon League off
the map and leave the coast clear for the saloon
interests
But he found that he had a job on his hands
Superintendent William H. Anderson, of the New
York League went to Lyons, N. Y, where Belts
lived, hired the local opera house and made
hours speech before the room jammed full with Belts
constituents.
He not only showed up Belts record as a liquor
heeler, but also CRATER He produced
the record of lobby investigation showing that when
Belts revision clerk of the Assembly he took
crooked money and good deal of it.
This testimony showed payments to Belts by the
representative of the beet sugar interests amounting
to $500 year and $3.50 the next the street railway
lobbyist testifying to paying Belts $3.50. The
track gambling interest paid him ST., 500 while he
supposedly serving the public.

There was nothing left for Mr.. Belts to do but

Because Charles H. Belts espoused the of

EQUINE ARISTOCRATS
Bent ON CONQUESTS
Aspirants for Prizes at National Cap
ital Horse Show in Spring
Gather Here.

Washington horse lovers are exhibiting
comers among the blue-blooded show
horses quartered here. the principal OF
which are Cloudy Girl, Chocolate Boy
and Queen Bess, stabbed at the Riding
and Hunt Club, within the last week by
George F. Dickinson, former Texas
ranger and noted horseman.
Cloudy Girl is the prize Of the stable
brought to this city from Kentucky by
Mr.. Dickinson and, with the other two
horse, bids fair to be heard when the
National Capital Horse Show is held in
the spring. She is a chestnut mare, If
teen hands high and five years old. Out
of twenty-four times shown last year she
won twelve blues took second place nine
times and was third in three champion
ship classes, beating such equine cele-
brities as Watchful, Clara Bell and
Juliet Merriweather!
Chocolate Boy, out of six times shown,
has won five blues and was second in a
model class Of twenty-three entries.
Queen Bess is a dark chestnut mare, five
years old, fifteen hands and two inches
in height This animal Is considered
by horsemen here to be one Of the great
est show prospects in the local horse
colony at present. She has never bowed
before the stands at show and viii
not be exhibited until the National Capt.
tai Show. Besides these three, Dckin-
sons stable includes Sir Boss, half
brother of the famous Jack Barrymore.

Protests "TheoreticaI."

For her violations of international
law, Great Britain pleads the vital in
terests which the British Empire has
at stake. and the neutral powers seem
to satisfy themselves with theoretical
protest.
Therefore. in fact, they accept the
vital interests of belligerents as suf-
ficient excuse for every method of war
fare.
Germany must now appeal to these
same vital interests. To its regret it
therefore sees itself forced to military
measures aimed at England in retalia-
tion against the English procedure.
Just as England has designated the
area between Scotland and Norway as
an area of war. so Germany now de-
clares all the waters surrounding
Great Britain and Ireland. including
the entire English Channel. as an area
of war. and will thus proceed against
the shipping of the enemy for this pur-
pose, beginning February IS. 1915.
1T will endeavor to destroy every
merchant ship of the enemy that is
found in this area of war, without its
always being possible to avert the peril
that thus threatens persons and car
goes.
NeutraIs Are Warned.
''NeutraIs are therefore warned against
further entrusting crews, passengers
and wares to such ships. Their attention
is also called to the fact that it is adj
visable for their ships to avoid entering
this area for even though the German
forces have instructions to avoid vio-
lenCe to neutral ships insofar as they
are recognizable. in view of the misuse
of neutral flags, ordered by the British
government and the contingencies of
naval warfare. their becoming victims of
torpedOes directed against ships of the
enemy cannot always be averted.
1T is specifically noted that shipping
north of the Shetland Islands, in the
eastern area OF the North Sea, and in a
strip of at least thirty sea miles in
width along the Netherlands cost is not
imperiled.
THE German government gives such
early notice OF these measures so that
hostile as well. as neutral ships may
have time according to adapt their plans
for landing at ports in this area Of war.
Germany may expect that the neutral
powers will show no less consideration
for the vital interests of Germany than
for those of England, and will aid in
keeping their citizens and the property
OF the latter from this area More par
ticularly is this to be expected as it
must be to the interest of the neutral
powers to see that destructive was in
ended. as soon as possible"
