Butler, Mo- is another town which is demonstrating that prosperity fol lows prohibition. It is today, says the Kansas City Star, "a better, richer and more prosperous town than ever The merchants carry better stocks, the business houses are heater, cleaner and better; the people live in better and more attractive homes and enjoy life in more rational and healthful ways There are fewer idle people and merchants have fewer bad debts.
 When the saloons were voted out Butler had bonded debt of something like $20,000 on it's electric light plant, and notwithstanding the revenue from it's four saloons, it was a hard matter to meet interest payments, and the liquidation of the principal seemed long way off.

the report of the Legislative Commit tee and the severe arraignment Of Dr Dickinson, incumbent by MT. Oliver
 MT Oliver comes into this race af- ter eight years continuous service as d county officer of his native county, Ashley, and with practically the solid endorsement of his home people They say he has made an enviable record as an officer both as county clerk and as sheriff. He has never been defeated for office, and thus far his opponent has found nothing in his off cial record to assail. It is needless to say that ir there were anything crooked about Mir Oliver's service as an officer, Dr. Dickinson would have found it long ago, as he has had men in Ashley county for some time trying to dig up something against him. Any report that the Doctor might circulate against MT. Oliver now, however would doubtless oe received by the people with suspicion, for they realize that eleventh hour reports against a candidate are generally based on falsehood and cannot be relied upon
 On the other hand, Mir Divers op- ponent M. F. Dickinson, comes into the race with a very questionable rec ord as public officer, and with little support from his home people. He was frequently In the limelight while the
 
 of the Legislature of 1915, was audit, ing the books of the State officers. and the notoriety he got at that time was very adverse to him. The people of the State have not forgotten these things, and the sentiment Is strongly in favor of retiring the Doctor to pri vate life, where he will no longer have opportunity to play fast and loose with the peoples interests.
 Dr. Dickinson's only hope seems 70 and make them think he Is running for a second term. On the circulars and cards he Is scattering every where, he poses as a candidate for "re-election" or for "second term :" The people generally know that hIs claim Is false, and doubtless will re- sent 1t on election day. He has never been elected to any state office. He was superintendent of the State Rock Crusher by appointment. He was sec retary of the State Highway Depa t. ment by appointment. And when State Auditor Coffman resigned about year ago, Governor Hays appointed

Treasury whenever he gets ready to do SO It is time for change.
 Really, MT. Divers campaign Is fight for good government. and in this fight every good citizen of tlse State should rally to his support. Dr. Dick inson cannot say that he did not know the history of MT. Stoddard, for they were born and reared in adjoining counties and have known each other almost all of their lives. He appointed his chief deputy knowing the charac- ter of man he was and although he has been repeatedly criticised for it, he still retains him. There is no ex- planation for 1t except the old adage that birds of a feather flock to- gether."
 The only way to correct this sad condition of affairs at our State Capi- tol is for the good citizens of the State to vote solidly against Dr. Dickinson in his alleged race for reelection, and give q better man chance. MT. Oliver has made good as county offi- cial. No word of just criticism has ever been uttered against him, and we may safely assume that he will he as true to the principles of clean, hon est, faithful public service as a State official as he has been as a county officer. It is gratifying indeed to know that every indication points to his election by an overwhelming ma 1ority. When he takes charge of the office the people may be sure that he will not select as his chief deputy a man whose hands are soiled by theft, whose life is blackened by crime. He will be under undue obligations to no man nor set of men. He has gone straight to the people with his claims, and when they elect him he will be able to meet every one of them on the same footing. They are entitled to good, honest, efficient service at the hands of their officers, and If MT. Oliver is elected that is the kind of service they will get.

Since the gathering of the political leaders of the State for the Brough- Hodges debate here last Monday, 1t Is being freely predicted that Hon.

Alix, dressed in a filmy blue and
white housegown, stood In the middle
OF the room. With one hand appraised,
the other outstretched, she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight. Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching
down to his feet and back again to his
face. For weeks she had been wonder
ing. Terrible things had come to her
mind. Alan and Gerry with his heart
less note, had conspIred to mystify, to
terrify her. All the Joy she had looked
forward to in Gerry's homecoming
had turned into q bitter pain. They
had not known on the hill how she was
suffering. Only Kemp had seemed to
understand q little and had brought
his drop Of comfort to her.
As her eyes searched Gerry the sense
OF impending calamity left her. He
was well, well as she had never seen
him before. Except for that he seemed
almost weirdly familiar, as though
only a good nights sleep lay between
him and the morning Of three year.:

had fought back and overwhelmed
him.
