Referring to the popular belief that
the metropolitan centers are citadels
of corruption upon which no impress
sion can be made, the Union Signal
says that this "big city ~bugaboo' is
nov losing its terrors. It points to
New York's board of health, to Chi

the other three. Meanwhile" 1t says,
"in the great cities Of the Pacific
coast, Seattle and Portland, and in the
municipalities Of the middle West,
Denver and Des Moines, prohibition
is not only demonstrating it's success
as a panacea for civic ills, but has
reached a stage of popularity where
the men who wrote and GRATED against
it a few months ago, are now eloquent

Count Plunkett is the head of the

which has fallen ON evil days. He

In Dublin for his share in the uprising,

The counts two other sons,

the plot, and the count himself was
locked up for a time.
The title of Count Plunkett is a

EXPECT BETTER TIMES.

There have been many dire predic-
tons regarding the disaster that is to
follow the departure of the saloon in
wet territory in this state, but gener-
ally speaking no decisions are held
along this line by the more prominent
business men of Idaho" says the Boise
News. while they look for a tempo
airy depression prior to the readjust-
ment, they expect afterwards impetus
in business conditions and even better
times than before the saloon became
extinct. The fact that much of Idaho
has been dry for years and business
conditions in the dry territory have
even been better in some instances
than in the wet territory, leads many
business men to believe that the sa-
loon is not SO paramount a factor and
that with a readjustment the lost rev.
enue from it will not be missed"

SISSON'S LONG COAT

Thomas U. Sisson, congressman
from Mississippi, wears about the
longest frock coat to be seer about
the house of representatives.
Having that fact firmly fixed in
our minds, let US now go on with the
denouement of our brief tale. Sisson
had a constituent for whom he desired
to obtain a promotion in one of the
departments. An employee there In
n Of the h~igher-up places died sud
denly and Sisson assumed that this
vacancy made By death might facili-
tate matters for his man. He went to
the chief of that division and asked
him to appoint his candidate to the
vacant place.
1T is our policy" parted the
chief, never to fill a vacancy caused
by death until after the funeral"

for SO years there has been an aver
age of II murders in the state during
the Christmas holidays, all of them
traceable either directly or indirectly
to whisky and it's evil influences. This
Christmas there were only two MUIR
ders as a result Of drinking. The
average murder trial in West Virginia,

JOHN BURKE'S HANDWRITING

United States Treasurer John
Burke wrote a VIGOROUSLY poor hand
when he was a boy attending country
school. What made it all the more
noticeable was that he had two broth
ers in the school who wrote .phenom-
enally good hands. Whenever there
were visitors to the school, one of
Burke's brothers was certain to be
called on to make a few flourishes ON
the blackboard.
Burke took the position that many
of the greatest men in the country
wrote poor hands and that it did not
much matter, anyhow, as few persons
ever say ones handwriting. And
there was where he reckoned not
wisely, for today his signature is en-
graved on all the new money, and I'M

way into every household.

Gently visited the country:
In the insanity hospital in connec-
ton with the northern Russian army
there has been only n case OF alco-
holic insanity in a year. Such hos
pitfalls during the Russo-Japanese war
were filed with alcoholic insane.
In one town money grew so plenti-
full that the villagers dubbed together
and bought a movie. Charging a small
admission fee they grew so embar-
raised with the riches that they pur-
chased a brand new fire engine, the
village pride"
The Pirogoff society, the leading
medical association of Russia, has
heartily Endorsed prohibition, declar-
ing that "a whole mass of facts allow
US to believe that prohibition has de-
creased sickness Especially venereal
and m~ental), lessened fires, suicides,
crime, accidents and increased mate
rial and industrial prosperity"
There is a general feeling through

NOW q.
SOCIAL SECRETARY BENHAM

Shortly before Mrs. Gait became
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. the social SEQ
rotary at the White House, Miss lisa.
bella Hagner, resigned to be married.
Thereupon an old friend of the lady
who was soon to become the mistress
of the White House was appointed
to the place, and she has filed the
rather difficult position with conspicu-
GUS success.
Miss Edith Benham, the social
secretary, is a daughter of the late
Rear Admiral Benham. Her mother
was Miss Edith Seaman before her
marriage. Miss Benham took UP social
secretary work after the death of her
father. She was peculiarly fitted for
it by education and environment. One
of her first engagements was with
Baroness Rosen, wife Of the Russian
ambassador, whom she served through
that ambassadors regime here. She
has also acted in the same capacity
for Mrs. Bryce when Mr., now Lord,
