THE PLEASURES OF
OUTLAWRY
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

The hand of civilization has lain hard
upon those professions wherein the out
law spirit once found expression. The
riproaring pirates have been swept from
the seven seas. Bandits have been
no longer infest the woods, and SNUG
glers have deserted the caves. About
all that is left for the poor wicked man
is the gipsy bands in the country ana
the criminal class in the city.
Too little attention has been given TO
that primeval and persistent trait OF hui
man nature, the love Of outlawry. That
it is in the blood of all of us is shown
by the fact that it breaks out in every
boy. No boy wants to be banker or
grocer when he grows up; they all
want to become pirates, bandits or cir
Gus clowns.
They are supposed to get over this as
they mature, but lot of it still fingers
under the vests of the most respectable
members Of society.
1t is doubtful whether any human be-
ing wants to sin. What he wants is to
escape from responsibility.
Few men drink liquor for the love OF
it. A vast deal of alcohol is consumed
Just because it seems devilish. When the
host tips his guest the wink and stealth
lily leads the way to the back closet I'M
der the stairs and produces black bot
tie, how the flavor Of the liquor is I'M
proved by the vicious delight in evading
the watchfulness of the members of the
Women's Temperance society gathered
in the parlor!
Few boys would learn to smoke il It
were not impressed upon them that
smoking perverts their morals and brings
them 20 an early grave. For just the wild way
wardness of doing something desperate they VIII
sneak behind the barn and make themselves SICK

How many marriage has gone wrong
! because of the irrepressible desire OF human be-
ings to make moral excursions might be an IN

cantankerous rebellion in the average human be-
ing toward anything that Is legalized, even &c
static bliss.

Farmer and Prohibition

The rum demon is making q real
hot campaign among the farmers TO
show them what q terrible injury
prohibition will be to the farming
business. In long table OF Stats
tics, the liquor interests assert that
the demons factory buy sl00,0oo.0o0
worth OF products of the soil year.
Corn for bourbon whiskey, rye for
good old rye" barley for malt,
cherries and peaches and apples for
brandy. grapes for wine and 30 on.
Perhaps their figures are right.
but what OF il, There are 10, 900 900
farmers in the United States. and
their annual products are valued at
total OF $40 .000, 900, ooo-ten billion
dollars or $1,000 for each farmer. OF
course every farmer doesn't make
81 900 a year or a sf.00-a-year liv-
ing but that's the way IL averages.
II the liquor industry buys $780,
600 900 a year OF the farmers prod
ucts, prohibition will stop the liquor
industry buying SO worth Of pro-
duce from each farmer. on tho aver
age. Pretty hard on the farmer to
lose $40 a year. or 10 cents q week,
which the saloon now hands him!
The lnquor people say the farmer
loses II" by prohibition. Nothing
is farther frsm the truth. The $40
worth of grain or fruit which the
farmer now sells 10 the demon
would not be lost. II would still be
valuable as food for man and beast
in ether forms than drink. II would
still he real property. bringing the
prevailing price In the market. II
might sell at somewhat less than
the $40. and then. too. II might sell
for more than $40. The wiping out
OF the drink traffic isn't going 10

him 70 even suspect that he Ia be

sun-dried brick. and Is Quilt around

is sure to be a small statue provided
with a fountain. in the bowl at the
base OF which the water is allowed
to stagnate. thereby breeding mos

or ''pati" "a IL Is called. are the va
rious rooms, with windows and a
door opening on 10 the patio. Floors
are of tile. marble or wood In the

the family. Houses OF stone are
rarely met with. except in the larger
and more modern cities. or in the
coast and IN other localities where
wood is scarce, corrugated iron and
Standard OIL tins are the materials
used for buildings. In Baenos Aires
OF late few more or less modern
apartment houses are being erected.
Elsewhere they are practically un-
known. When one leases an apart
ment or a house he Is supposed to
bring with him his bathtub and cleo
trio lighting or gas fixtures. The
grounds surrounding the homes OF
the well-to-do contain a plethora OF
statuary. and many glass globes OF
all sizes and every prismatic color,
The ordinary houses are calcimined

The Veterans OF Foreign Wars are all
men who have seen service, and they are
not enamored of war. for they know
what it is.
Though they are still young and
active, full of fire and jealous of the
national honor, they realize too well the
seriousness of warfare to take arms

The eyes that xhone.

Attention, You Men! You
Had Better Watch Out!

What are we to expect of the woman
of 1920?
In 1915 we have a high school girl,
Miss Ruth McCabe of Tacoma, Wash,
throwing a baseball 200 feet inches !;
woman trapshooter, Mrs. Harold
Almert of Chicago, breaking as Of so
flying targets; two girl students OF
Tulane university, New Orleans, boxing
for the championship of Louisiana
Jacquline Thompson, an Evanston, ILL.,,
girl, swimming 40 yards in 80 rs
seconds.
In 1915 we also have women in all
parts of the country hurrying through
household work to get on the tennis
courts, golf links and bathing beaches
and travelling hundreds of miles to take
part in an archery tournament.
In all these events women competed
against women, but in almost every
other case the marks set were so close
to the marks made by men, it is hard
for anyone, except an expert, to see
much difference.
Women are going in for outdoor sports
more and more every year. This has
been a banner summer, and each year
women are getting nearer and nearer
athletic records of men.
So we ask about the woman of 1920:
Will she stand at the traps and shoot in
with men? Will she enter
swimming races against men without
fear of being outclassed? Will iInpor-
tant tournaments in golf and tennis be
mixed instead of for men only? 1t should
not be surprising.
