SALOON MUST GO.

The Kansas City Times comments
as follows:
In sentencing 116 politicians who
had been found guilty of corrupting
the election in Terre Haute, Ind,
Judge Anderson of the Federal
Court had this to say:
My notion is that the saloon win
have to go. believe the time will
come when the people will rise (up
and smash the saloons, at least as we
have it now. The evidence in this
case showed that the saloons we're
the centers of nearly all the corrupt
ton in the election at Terre HauteI
Judge Anderson had heard nearly
all the evidence in the trials of tha
men, and it had shown saloons id
Terre Haute to be Just what so many
of them are in Kansas City, the
breeding places of political rottens
mes. He denounced these saloons, !
not so much as places where liqu9/
is sold as places where these ploS
are Matched which cheat the hone
eleetor out of his vote,
Judge Anderson is right; the 81
loon must go. for the sake of clea
government. 4

BIG REVIVAL.

Work Among the Indians out West.
Joseph Austin Hicks, Missionary
to the Shoshone Indians, and pastor
at Lander, Wyoming. formerly pas
tor in charge at Mexico, writes ]. B.
Botkin an interesting letter, a por-
ton of which is here reproduced:
Lander, Wyoming, March 90. 1915.
Mr.. j. B. Botkin, Mexico, Mo.
We have been in the greatest revi-
val service ever conducted in this
State considering the size of the
town. About 500 conversions have
been reported tho some of them
doubtless will have to be counted off,
but say 400, and that for town of
1000 people is certainly hitting the
high places. The Fife Brothers of
Plymouth, india, have been the evan
gelists. They are concert musicians
all, and have equipment of musical
instruments to the <a1ue of $4,000,
and Clyde Lee is an evangelist of
extraordinary power. A union meet
ing but we will have nearly if not
quite 100 accessions. That's consid-
cradle of an addition to a church OF
1876 members.
We like the work in Lander. We
are in a valley in view of a magnif-
icent range of mountains, a valley
of fruits and farm products. l
preach twice a month to the Indian
children in the Government school at
Fort Washable, and have also been
preaching at Arapahoe another
point in the reservation. There is a
great tract of country from 40 to
20 miles distant which is settling up
where 1 am planning to enter this
spring, as soon as thesnow goes off
sufficiently, where the gospel is new
er preached. 1 suspect there are two
or three hundred families to be
evangelical. 1 am praying for an
automobile so L can cover this
ground, and somehow 1 think 1
shall get one. There has never been
a greater opportunity to do work for
the Kingdom than lies at our very
doors here and we are not going to
be asleep on our job.
1 went to California last year and
stayed with Dave Sneed most of the
time. We still get The Message,
thanks to your kindness, and enjoy
reading it. JOSEPH ]. HICKS.

FORGOT HIS WIFE.

Monroe, Wis, May 29.-While on
his way home from a days shopping
at Rockford, w. H. Boyd, a prosper
Gus farmer who lives just across the
state line, brought his team to walk
and scratched his head. He was
sure he had forgotten something. Try
as he would, he couldn't think what
it was, so he drove on.
Arriving home, his loud "whoa.'
brought the children out to see what
daddy had brought them from the
city. Their welcoming shouts were
quickly silenced, however.
Where's mamma?" they asked in
chorus.
Then Boyd knew what he had for
gotten. His wife had accompanied
him to the city and while she was
making some purchases for herself,
the absent minded father had driven
home without her. He broke all speed
laws driving the IL miles back to
Rockford.

Eighty-five of the Canon City Civic
Improvement leagues fy-traps have
been delivered to purchasers about
town today; most of them to merch-
ants and other business men on the
Main street. These fy-traps have
been manufactured on the order of
the civic improvement league for the
purpose of promoting a more perfect
sanitary condition in the city and are
sold at fifty cents apiece, which COW
ers only the cost of the material en-
tering them. There is no direct fin
ancial profit in the traps to anybody
and they are sold wholly with view
of Kidding the town of flies. always
more or less disseminators of filth
and disease.
Every merchant and business man
in Canon City is urged to buy one
of these traps and place it at the en-
trance to his place of business and
in the alleys where needed. They
are among the most efficient traps
of the kind on the market and every
householder should purchase one and
help rid the community of the worst
of its insectiverous pests. Fifteen
more of the traps are on sale at the
office of the chamber of commerce
and may be had on application to
Secretary George and the payment
of fifty cents. Be sure and get one
and do it now"
