GLAD TO be FORCED OUT.

A missouri saIOOnkeeper perhaps
expressed the sentiments OF his fell
lows fairly well when on being called
to account for his violation Of the law
regarding the sale Of liquor. he locked
tie door Of his hooze emporium and
remarked: "T've quit business for
good. The booze business is dead
anyway. and I'm glad to be out Of It."
We believe this voices the feeling Of
the majority of the vets. The wal
which has forced them out Of bust
ness Is at the same time offering them
TIE chance Of the ages to enter and
ret a start In legitimate Industries.
One Of the avOwed reasons for the
Presidents brewery closing edict was
the need Of men for the really essen

THE MAN WHO CAME BACK.

Every newspaper reader knows Walt
Mason whose ripping rhymes are sent
all over the country by a press syndi-
cate. In a recent magazine article
Walt has a story oc n "Has-Been Who
Came Back" 1t Is his W story. He
began his journalistic career ut twen-
ty-two, soon became a victim of drink,
and was a down-and-outer ut forty-fve.
Then he e to dry Kansas, began
again at the bottom of the ladder and
climbed to the top. This Is what Will
liam Allen White, editor Of the En-
poria Gazette and well-known author
says Of him:
"when he (walt Mason) wrote for
a Job on the Gazette he said that he
had all the degrees that could be cbn-
ferred upon him by a certain institu-
ton which claimed to cure booze-fight-
ers, and that he had tried high re-
solves many times, only to wake up
and find the brewers daughter feed
Ing his weeks salary to her favorite
cat. He said he wanted before he quit
to try a dry town. Now Emporia Is
a dry town. 1t started dry. In 1857

preacher could stew his soul In toddy
without losing caste-Emporla In the
charter Of the town company started
with a prohibition clause. 1t did not
always hold the Rum Fiend away. But
1t always bothered him to get in. So
he never waxed fat In Emporia. And
for a generation Emporia, while rot
bone-dry. has not been moist.
"When Walt Mason came here the
town was fairly dry. Alcohol formed
no part OF the towns conscious
thought. No one invited him to drink.
He heard no talk Of drink; he saw no
n drinking, and to get liquor he
would have. had to associate with loaf
ers and plug-uglies So Walt Mason In
a dry town, having plenty Of work to
do. did 1t well. And the town stood by
him and cheered him. Ten thousand
people became his friends. They are
his friends today"

"since I came to Emporia with my
one extra shirt and my $1.35. Since
prosperity overlook me I have received
fiattering offers from Chicago, New
York. and ever from London. But

me-" ,
