insane for any reason Whatever?
Such charge refutes itself and dem.
onstrates the vindictiyeuess and ire
sponsibility of the liquor interests
and their friends. All sucn pretend
statistics are false, and due to com.
pairing wholly different methods of
dealing with the insane. For exam
pie, We have no county insane in
Kansas. Wisconsin has twice the
number of insane in county as in
state institutions.
The most recent attacks on Kansas
comes from the Retail Liquor Deal
ers association of Rome, n. Y. Here
is sample statement:
The report of the comptroller of
currency, dealing with the per capita
bank deposits for the year 1912, con.
taifis the following figures: Wet Con.
neeticut has a per capita deposit of
1881 so; wet California, SASS 4; Iii
nois S50.7 dry Kansas, Mr.. Drum s
richest state in the Union,' has a
per capita deposit of SO. 50. There
we're only two states in the Union
who had a lower per capita deposit
than Kansas, and both were southern
states, where the big per centage of
poverty ridden negroes brought the
per capita down much lower than 1t
otherwise would be.
IL the above statistics were correct
wet Connecticut would have bank
deposits 10 times as large as those
of Kansas per capita, and nearly five
times those of equally wet Illinois
Most OF the lies OF the liquor business
are of this character, so evidently
false on their face, that they refute
themselves. The fact about Kansas
bank deposits is that they are larger
In state than in national banks, so
that the comptroller's report does not
cover the ease, but bank deposits in
Kansas exceed 200 million dollars and
have averaged about that figure for a
considerable number Of years. The
average bank deposits of Kansas are
about 1920 per capita. That is they
average year in and year out be.
tween 80 and 40 times greater than
stated by the liquor dealers of Rome,
N. Y. That is fairly close to the
truth for the liquor dealers.
Savings bank deposits should be
larger in Connecticut than in Kan.
sas. Savings banks belong to an old
and well organized industrial state,
and New England with its great pop
.ulation of factory workers is strong
in its savings banks. In the west
savings banks are comparatively new
and scattered. They are not found
at all in rural communities or In
towns and cities where manufactur.

THE FLIGHT OF A SONG

If were the bird with the broken
wing,
One thing still would O;
Keep near to the earth, and dare to

The flight of a song with never a

Would pierce to the inner blue,
And lodge in the land not very far

To live in the hearts Of the true.

DULL FOR STAR GAZERS.
Heavenly Observation During Pres
emf Year Promises Little Excitement

To the present time the year 1915 has
been devoid of any astronomical dis
coyery, and as there is to be only few
annular eciipses this year it seems that
there will be little in the way of celes-
tial phenomena to engage the attention
Of astronomy. But ]. E. Mellish of the
Madison, Wis, observatory has discov-
cred a small bright comet. which prom
ises to make star gazing quite inter-
esting the coming spring and early
summer.
The Mellish comet is found in the
constellation Ophuichus, slowly moving
east becoming brighter and brighter
as it comes into our system. 1t rises
about o'clock am and is visible
through a telescope between that hour
and daybreak.
AS announced from the Harvard OBJ
servatory, the comet is increasing in
brilliancy. which means that it is soon
to become visible to the naked eye as
it passes around the sun, which, ac-
cording to computation made by Prof.
Crawford and Miss Young of the Stu
dents Observatory, Berkeley. Cal. will
make its perhelion passage around the
sun July 20.
