GOLFERS AND KANSAS.

Kansas. is held up as a model for
prohibition. and just now much
thought is being given to the results
as announced from this State. Col
liers quotes from writer who is
giving his experience as a travelling
man In the STATE Of Kansas. 1t is
worth thinking about. and will tend
TO show the value of Statew pro
hibition. and letter of nation wide
prohibition. This is surely coming
and soon, or the signs of The times
are wrong and meaningless.
The quotation is:
There isn't much poverty In Kan
sas, and theh kind OF misery that
the liquor States abound in is un-
known from Newton to, Hutchinson,
discussing 1t. Since Kansas went
dry one said, II make these little
towns ana sell lot OF stun. Couldn't

And Golfers comments:
All the walls OF the booze angels
who howl about blind pigs. wood al
cohol, and allied topics can not alter
the main facts. The saloon does not
get the money under prohibition. In
time the liquor habit is broken, and
as that happens booze ceases to be
an issue and people turn to better
ways of living.

MRS. STONEWALL JACKsON,s
DEATH.

That the widow of Stonewall Jack
son has gone to join her husband
across the river in the shade of the
trees seems not SO impressive,
though death is always impressive to
us who still live, as that here in 1916
there still lived the woman whose
young life was welded to that of the
great cnfederate commander. w
few days and she would have seen
the hfty-second anniversary OF that
day in May when the real victor OF
Charlottesville submitted patiently
to the soldiers fate and died O victim
of bullets-not fred by an enemy. :.
Thomas Jonathan Jackson married
Nary Morrison in July. 1857. For
three and a half years they were per-
mitted the normal quiet domestic life,
while he was occupied al q teacher
at the Virginia Military institute. On
April II, 1861, however, Jackson was
ordered to report at Richmond with
his corps OF cadets and soon he was
division commander, causing con-
sternation to the Invaders OF Virginia
whenever ne moved with his foot
cavalry" His extraordinary career
was destined to last only two years,
and on May 10, 1868. one week after
being nlortally wounded by the fire
OF his own pickets. he passed frc'u
amid the full tide of war. Thus at
thirty-two Mary Morrison jackson,
Safter less than six years companion
ship with him as his loyal and we'll
beloved vito, found herself widowed
in the costliest single sacrifice of life
suffered by the Confederacy.
That month of May, 1868, seems
far away in distant past of terrible
but fading memories Yet the wife of
Stonswall jackson was still with
her people till yesterday. Almost 1t
seems startling. Death that demand
ed him nntimeIy seemed reluctant to

CHR OP RACTIC

Chiropractic is the only art science
and philosophy that has thoroughly
tested and proved that 95 per cent Of
incoordination is caused by the inter
ruption of mental impulses as they pass
through nerves at the intervertebral
foramina, wherever the vertebra (spinal
bones) are not in perfect alignment
with each other. These conditions the
chiropractor calls sublaxation. This
condition of the vertebrae causes pres
sure on nerves as they pass out between
the vertebra and produces an excess or
lack of function interfering with the
transmission of this mental force to the
affected parts of the body. Chiroprac-
tic further proves that chiropractic ad-
justments are followed by return of
health.
If you have any aches or pains, if
you have tried everything and got no
relief, remember you have not tried
chiropractic that removes the ''cause of
disease everything else treats effects.
Call at my Office and I will explain
more fully. You need not to have
faith,-faith will come after short
course of adjustments.
Remember I do not use medicine,
surgery, osteopathy or anything but
pure and unadulterated chiropra cite,

cal experience.

WANTS A NATIONAL
BANK IN CANAL ZONE
Helm Of Kentucky Would Go
After South American Trade.

Washington. - Representative Helm
of Kentucky has a plan to establish a
national bank at AncOn, in the Pana-
ma canal zone. with branches else
where in that country. He would
call it the Pan-American bank and
give it a capital stock of $25,O00,O0O,
divided into shares Of par value of
500 each.
Just before congress adjourned Mr.,
Helm introduced a bill to incorporate
the Pan-American bank. and when
the Sixty-fourth congress convenes he
will press it for action.
THE commercial tieup resulting
from the European war has convinced
every thinking man in this country
that foreign trade is vital element
in our domestic prosperity and that
the continents of North and South
America have greater identity of in
terests than was ever realized before"
said Mr.. Helm. '"There never was q
time when opportunity was knocking
so loud at our DOORS The commerce
and business of continent are with
in our grasp. The manufacturing en-
terprises in Central and South Amer
lea are very limited. and it is to this
matter that | wish the attention Of
the country could be directed
Few, if any, of the republics to the
south Of us have the means of trans
porting or delivering their products to
any other country. Under existing con-
ditiins nearly all the trade Of Central
and South America flows across the
Atlantic. 1t ought to be lowing from
North America to Central and South
America.
"About the only means of creating
commercial and business relations are
banking facilities, transportation, press
bureau and mercantile agents. Under
the federal reserve act a bank with
$1,O0O,00O capital in the United States
can establish branch bank in any Of
the countries in Central or South Amer
lea. This provision, in my opinion,
does not meet the conditions. What
we need is bank of sufficient proper
tons and magnitude and Importance
and prestige to handle the business of
the continent.
"The government of the canal zone is
going to be just as stable and steady
as the government of the United
States. If we establish bank on the
canal zone it becomes identified with
the locality. Our government is be-
hind it. That guarantees confidence
and makes it sure go. The govern
ments to the south of us would be in
spired with confidence in the institu~
tion."

envy at Duke, his W1Stful dog.
A bitter soul dominated the va
rious curved and angular surfaces
known by careless world as the face
OF Penrod Schofeld. Except in soil
tude, that face was almost always
cryptic and emotionless, for Penrod
had come into his twelfth year wear
ing an expression carefully trained to
be inScrutable. Since the world was
sure to misunderstood everything,
mere defensive instinct prompted him
to give it as little as possible to lay
hold upon. Nothing is more impene-
trable than the face Of boy who has
learned this, and Penrod's was habitu-
ally as fathomless as the depth of his
hatred this morning for the literary
activities of Mrs. Lora Rewbush an
almost universally respected fellow
citizen, lady Of charitable and poetic
inclinations and one of his own moth
er's most intimate friends.
Mrs Lora Rewbush had written
something which she called THE
Children's Pageant of the Table
Round" and it was to be performed
in public that very afternoon at the
Women's Arts and Guild hall for the
benefit of the Colored Infants Better
ment society. And if any flavor of
sweetness remained in the nature of
Penrod Schotield after the dismal
trials of the school week just past,
that problematic. infinftesimal rem
nant was made pungent acid by the
imminence of his destiny to form a
prominent feature of the spectacle and
to declaim the loathsome sentiments
OF character named upon the pro-
gram the Child Sir Lancelot.
After each rehearsal he had plotted
escape, and only ten days earlier there
had been a glimmer Of light Mrs
Lora Rewbush caught very bad cold
and it was hoped 1t might develop into
pneumonia. but she recovered so quick
ly that not even rehearsal of the
Children's Pageant was postponed
Darkness closed in. Penrod had rather
vaguely debated plans for self mutt
lation such as would make his APP
pearance as the Child Sir Lancelot in
eXpedient on public grounds. 1t was
a heroic and attractive thought. but
the results of some extremely sketchy
preliminary experiments caused him
to abandon it.
There was no escape. and at last his
hour was hard upon him. Therefore
he brooded on the fence and gazed
with envy at his wistful Duke.
The dogs name was undescriptive
of his person, which was obviously
the result of singular series of mes
alliances. He wore a griZzled mus
tache and indefinite whiskers. He
was small and shabby and looked like
an old postman. Penrod envied Duke
because he was sure Duke would new
er be compelled to be a Child Sir
Lancelot- He thought dog free and
unshackled to go or come as the wind
listeth. Penrod forgot the life he led
Duke.
There was long soliloquy upon the
fence. plaintive monologue without
words. The boys thoughts were adj
jectives. but they were expressed by
a running film of pictures in his minds
eye. morbidly prophetic of the hideosi-
ties before him. Finally he spoke
aloud. with such spleen that Duke rose
from his launches and lifted one ear
in keen anxiety.

He passed the ends of the lines over
