CW. ]. Bryan, in The Commoner)
Some think that the saloonkeeper is
treated harshly ell is not Society Is
not as strict with him as with those en-
gagged in legitimate business. Take the
stamp mill for instance. 1t is an asset to
a community blessing to a mining
camp, and yet the stamp mill must be
careful not to do injury to others.
It takes in the orebearing rock ano
stamps, and stamps, and stamps, until all
the precious material is extracted; but
the refuse stuff that is left-the tailings-
is it allowed to pour these down into the
mountain streams? No, at it's own eX-
pense it must impounds the tailings for
the protection of the people who live IN
the valleys.
Not so with the saloon 1t is permitted
t otake in the priceless young manhood OF
the community and it stamps, and stamps
and stamps, until all that is precious Is
extracted and then, instead of being com
PEELED to impOund the tailings at its oWn
expense, it is permitted to throw the
dregs of humanity out upon society, anC
society must take care of the paupers, the
criminals and the insane, who graduate
from the saloon.

More than 700 of the 7S0 Kansas
editors in state convention, including
newspapers of every political faith,
unanimously endorsed Prohibition.
Every political party in Kansas ia
Yors the prohibitory law and has en-
dorsed the law in its platform.
No minister in Kansas ever opens
his mouth in favor of returning to the
licensed saloon, nor any teacher.
The mothers of Kansas say they
are satisfied to have their boys grow
up without seeing an open saloon.
They are not demanding that saloons
be licensed in Kansas.
The president of the Kansas Retail
ers' Association says that Prohibition
pays.
The Temperance Society of the
Methodist Church asked bank presi-
dents in Kansas what they thought of
Prohibition. One hundred and sixty
five favored the law, while only six
expressed doubts Of its wisdom.
During the last session the Legisla-
ture, by unanimous vote in both
Houses-a Democratic Senate and
Republican House-went upon record
in a series of strong resolutions tell
ing what Prohibition has done for
Kansas, and emphatically approving

While this may appear to be princi

is really one of the numerous far
reaching things started tor the benefit
of the farmer by the administration
of President Wilson The increasing
scarcity of farm labor has Become a
problem to the farmer especially in
the wheat growing and fruit growing
sections. This labor, which is Of "a
seasonal character. necessarily must
be performed largely BY itiueranl
workers. Some agency which will meet
this demand and relieve the Iaborer Of
