The Spirit of the Mob

The evening shades are falling DER
proud Paris. Twilight turks on the
outskirts of the capitol city, while
the classic Seine glistens golden in
the fading rays of a July sun. Nature
holds solemn, peaceful aspect, as
if in AFFECTION of or forboding the
events about to transpire. It is the
middle of that fateful year 1888
One could somehow feel by that deli
cate sense of soul-mind that even
peaceful nature portended a disaster.
Far and wide lay ruined country,
yielding nothing but .desolation,
Every green leaf, every blade OF
grass, every spear of grain was as
shrivelled and poor as the miserable
people who planted it. Everything
was bowed down, detected, oppressed
and broken. Habitations, fences, do
nestle animals, men, women, child
rem and the soil that bore them, all
worn out. The inhabitants we're all
gathered in st. Antoine like a PACK

knowing what they wanted but mad

No New Financing for the Santa

Director Says Company Has
Funds for Current Needs.
ROUTE TO COAST DESIGNATED
National Editorial Association
Selects Official Route.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

A director of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway company is
quoted in the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat as saying that there is no inten-
ton on the part of the management to
undertake any new additional financ-
ing at this time, as the company has
sufficient funds with which to meet
it's current needs. There is no new
extraordinary work under way or con-
templated, and for that reason, he
pointed out, there is no necessity for
raising fresh funds at present, nor
does he expect that any steps of this
character will be taken for some time
to come.
'It is not time for the directors
to enter upon new undertakings he
more definite is known regarding the
outlook for business in the future. The
railroads have not had a very rosy
time for the past few years, although
the Santa Fe has shown some remark
ably satisfactory earnings for some
time
The directors views. as stated in the
Globe-Democrat, makes it apparent
that, with the Santa FEES earnings run
ming we'll in excess of dividend re-
quirementS, the road can meet it's cur
rent obligations from funds in its
treasury, as it is stated that there is a
liberal amount of cash on hand. In
view of the definite statement that it
is not the intention of the company
to undertake any new extraordinary
work at this time, therefore, the
strong financial position of the road
renders it unnecessary to raise fresh
funds.

FLAIL FOR PROHIBS
Dry Wave Held Sign of Social
Decadence.
BOstOnian Sees Many Prophets,
Some Practitioners.

Cincinnati, June 9.-"While 1 have
no relation or interest in the traffic
prohibition desires to destroy, I can
not say 1 am wholly disinterested, be-
cause any movement or agitation that
threatens the peace and prosperity of
the nation must interest every good
citizen" Thus spoke Joseph Smith of
Boston in an address before the con-
vention of the National Wholesale
Liquor Dealers association of Amer
lea here today Continuing, Mr..
Smith said:
Prohibition is a wolf in Sleeps
clothing; destroyer and devourer
dearing the garments of temperance
and roaring with the tongue and
turbulence of the tempest. 1t has
many prophets and preachers and
some practitioners.
Prohibition is generally an accom-
panylng circumstance of social and
religious decadence, of mutilated NOR
ality and political hysteria. When the
normal and healthy condition of So
ciety is restored, when social sanity.
political poise, trade activity, indus
trial energy come back, prohibition
will be a thing of the past.
Prohibition is not temperance; it
IS radicalism and intolerance. The
v,-st majority of the world is temper
ate; moderation in thought, speech,
habit and action is the rule of the
world. Without such temperance in
human activity, religion would be a
mockery, peace an impossibility, civil
iization a failure and political free
dom an idle dream. Because prohibit
ton is contrary to the genius and
thought of a free people: because its
preachmentS are false and it's prem
ises illusory, it will fail today, as it
failed yesterday"
The national association of wine
and spirit representatives, an affiliated
body of the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers association, began its ninth
annual convention today.

world famous artists. The opening
number will be Miss Frieda Hempel
the German coloratura soprano sensa-
ton of the Metropolitan Opera COM
pany. This young singer is native
of Leipsic, and as child showed
such musical talent that she was sent
to the Leipsic Conservatory. In 1906
she sang at Bayreuth as one OF the
Rhine maidens and in 1907 made
few appearances in London, but her
formal debut was in the autumn of
1907 at the Royal Opera house in Ber-
lin. Miss Hempel'S success was i'm
mediate. Berlin opera-goers were de-
lighted at the novelty of a coloratura
singer who possessed not only love-
ly voice, but youth and beauty as
we'll She rapidly became the chief
coloratura singer of the opera; her
reputation spread through Germany,
Holland and Belgium; and she was in
constant demand for concerts. where
the purity of her voice and her COM
mand of the art of song were even
more telling than in the opera house.
Mr.. Lambert Murphy is an Ameri-
can tenor who has achieved great sue
cess both in opera and concert. He
made his debut in opera in 1911 with
the Metropolitan Opera company.
Miss Anna Case with Charles Gill

sopranos of the Metropolitan Opero-
company and is very successful in
concert.
Katharine Goodson. famous English
pianist has been very successful both
in Europe and America.
Nine. Louise Homer, popular Amer
lean contralto, needs no introduction
to the Topeka public, as she appeared
as the opening number of the Rad
cliffe Series two years ago and pleased
her audience so much that Miss Rad
cliffe booked her for a return engage
ment this season.
Clarence Whitehill, American bari
tone, is a western man, having been
born IN Marengo. Iowa. He sang lead
ing Wagner roles at the Metropolitan
last season with great success and is
equally successful in concert.

today. His will be the closing num-
Der of the series. He will appear in

FIVE THOUSAND PEACH CARS.
Southern Railway Looking for Nam
moth Georgia Crop.

While Kansas railways are making
mammoth preparations to handle the
1915 wheat crop, the lines in the south
are endeavoring to handle crops down
there. The Southern railway and con-
Meeting lines officials held meeting
tives of the Fruit Growers express and
the Georgia Fruit exchange, and COM
pleted details of the movement of
5000 cars of Georgia peaches.
At the height of the season the
Southern railway will be sending
from fifteen to twenty special peach
trains out of Atlanta every night.
These trains will differ somewhat
from the peach train that came

She Showed Some Speed, Too.
Santa Fe officials here tell an inter-
esting story regarding the separation
Of mother and her two weeks old
baby in New Mexico a few days ago.
When the California Limited pulled
into Albuquerque, a woman, who was
a passenger on section one, took a lit
tie promenade on the platform and
left her baby in the car. The train
went away without her. Santa .Fe
operators held the train at Dalles and
the mother was frantic passenger on
the second section as it speeded out
section one at Dalles- The mother
showed the railroaderS something of
speed herself IN getting from one sec
ton to another. She found the baby
blissfully asleep. w. B. Collinson,
chief clerk to c. w KounS, general
manager of the Santa Fe here, says
that the tale is a true one.
