Left his at home

THE gentleman has a short mem
DRY but long crouch. The
memory caused the crouch.
He remembered to drink second
cup of coffee, to warn his son not to
be late to school, to tell his wife to
phone the plumber and to order
more coal-but he forgot his lrib-
une! There it reposed, beside his
breakfast plate. Half way to the
train he missed it, bethought himself
of handy newsdealer, sprinted for
the newsstand, but to his horror dis
covered what? That hitherto
estimable newsdealer was sold out!
Oh, let save him from another lone
ly ride to business unhappy, unso-
ciable, un-Tribuned.

CALLS FOE MEMBERS.

TO fight fire with fire is an admira-
be method where fire is concerned and
other extinguishers fail. Why
shouldn't the application Of the sys-
TEN be servicable in other fields?
Like cures like, and there are poisons
that neutralize one another, says the
Cleveland Plaindealer.
Nov for the special application
The churches, many Of them, realize
that the motor q is not an encourag-
er Of ehueh-going. The allurements Of
a ride through the town, or about the
countryside, are hard TO resist. The
motor car is responsible for many
empty seats. What can be done about
It?
In certain churches all they do is 70
lament the affection. They can't leg
islste against it; they can't bar il
from the streets. 1t has come to stay.
no doubt, but they said the same thing
Of the bicycle Anyway, the motol
car is here, and it is very comforta
bic, very exhilirating and very aIur
ing. How can these charms be met!
A Philadelphia congregation thinks
it can answer the question in a prac'
teal way. Instead Of standing bach
and abusing the cars, it comes to the
front each Sunday and sends them oui
right and left with orders to gather
up the Pensioners and give them
free ride to church. IT'S a delicate at
tention and not TO be turned down
The congregation realizes It cam
fight the motor car, and so it frater
nizes with them.
The plan is said to work well. Tn
plan of giving motion picture show
under church auspices is said to wori
well, too. And the lesson would seen
to be that it is well to meet the ;ney
liable and make the best Of it.

KANSAS DRY LAWS CUT
DOWN INSANITY CASES
Figures Of the Kansas Board Of
Health SHOW Fewer Cases Of In
sanity Gases Usaer Dry Laws
IL s. u TO LIQUOR
Statistics Shows Kansas insanity
Gases Due to Liquor Only l-6
Average Of the U. s.

TOPEKA, July 25.-A new peg was
driven into the prohibition arguments
for Kansas Saturday when the state
board Of health gave out She results Of
the investigation Of persons who be-
came insane through alcohol. The in
vestigation was made by DR.. P. B.
Newcomb, chief of the medical staff
Of the osawatomie Hospital for the
Insane.
at appears from the government
census figures that the percentage Of
alcoholic cases among all admissions
to the insane hospitals throughout the
United States is 1O.1," said the state
ment of the board of health. "LAst
year the two Kansas asylums, the
one at osawatomiee and the other at
Topeka. received a total of 6S5 pa
tients suffering from mental dis
eases. If conditions in Kansas con-
corning the drink problem had been
level with what they are in the ma
ton at lage, ~sixty-nine of these new
inmates would have been alcoholic.
The fact is that only twelve Of them
were. That is to say, the ratio Of only
II per cent in place of the national
average of 1O.1 per cent"
Doctor Neweomb found that seven
of the twelve cases were credited to
counties on the eastern border, from
which access to the wet goods of wet
Missouri is fatally easy for anybody
able to walk. Two other cases came
from within two hours railroad ride
of the state line. Thus if Kansas
could have got clear of the sins Of It's
neighbors, it would have evidently
reduced its own proportion of drunk
ards gone crazy to less than one
tenth the average percentage.

MEXICAN MIND A PUZZLE
ACCORDING TO HOUSTON

(Syd Houston in Kansas City Starr
LADERO, Texas, July 21.-An old,
weazled Mexican, his face a wrinkle
of shoe leather, pulled at the butt Of a
corn husk cigarette on a bench in jar
Wis Plaza last night and watched a
stream Of soldiers, regulars and
guards, pass.
"Madre de Dios," muttered the old
man. (The Mexican's favorite exple-
tive is not "Caramba." "Caramba"
is to Spanish as "Gazooks" to Eng
lish.)
"Madre de Dios," the old man re-
peated, "what manner of soldiers are
these?"
He was both puzzled and amused.
The reason was not far off. The Mex
lean soldier is a walking arsenal. On
or off duty he carries full cartridge
belts criss crossed about him and as
many rifles and r~evolvers as he can
both obtain and carry.
These American soldiers in town for
the evening carried no rifles, no side
arms, nc cartridges.
"The uniforms are bonita" said
the old man, "but uniform does not
kill"

The Latin is suaye. Ladero's pop
%ulation is largely Mexican. Many Of
them have lived long on this side Of
the river, but how well they have beer
assimilated is a question.
1t is difficult to learn how they
view the threatened intervention. The
story is told that Americans were
pushed off the sidewalks before the
troops came. That probably is not
true. One does not have to be pushed
off a Ladero sidewalk, anyway. II
requires the skill Of a tight rope per.
former to stay within their bounds
normally. The Mexican population
is smilingly courteous. It's good man
ners bear no trace of sullen or cowed
submission.
That does not mean that the Unit
