KANSAS LOST OUT
Mississippi First State To Rati-
fy Prohibition Amendment.
Sunflower Commonwealth TOO
Slow To Take the Lead.

Kansas missed her chance to holo
thu. lead in the drive for a bone dry
nation. 1t is quite probable she Will
now be we'll down on the list OF states
which will ratify the constitutional
amendment for national prohlpltloh:
Mississippi pioneered the placing OF
the final clamp on demon booze and
ratified the amendment with only
eight dissenting votes.
Scores of letters were received py
Governor Capper urging the Gaining OF
a special legislative session for the rat
ification of the amendment. A poll
of the legislative members was taken
bv the governor and a majority of
them are said 10 have opposed spe.
cial session for the lone purpose of
ratifying the federal measure. A ma
jority of the members, however, are
said to have favored the special ses-
sion if important work other than the
ratification of the bone-dry meaTure
was pending. Practically all of the
strong temperance leaders of the state
are said to have urged the calling Of
the extraordinary session.
In answer to the demand for a spe-
cial session, a report was circulated
that Kansas might wait until her reg
ular session in 1919 and still hold first
place in the ratification march. But
the position was lost by this state
when the Mississippi state legislature
waited less than fifteen minutes to act
upon Governor Bilbo's MESA ge.
Other state legislatures will be in ses-
sion this winter and early in the
spring. And Kansas. which has for
years enjoyed the distinction of lead
ership in every temperance cause, has
yielded to Mississippi in ratifying ma
tional prohibition.

OPEN ATCHISON MINE
Plans on Foot to Employ 200 Miners
An Old Coal Vein.

Atchison. Kan, Jan. 9.-Atchison' 8
coal mine is to be opened.
That's the glad news flashed up and
down Commercial street. which has
electrified Atchison's business men as
being the most important industrial
happening Atchison has had in years.
According to informa ton given ou-.
the deal has not yet been consum-
mated. But it is just on the verge of
being.
The men in Atchison are ready to
sign the papers taking over the mine
1t is understood if there is no hitch
in the signing of the final agreement
actual work of draining the mine will
begin the latter part of the week and
that the operators expect to have coal
on the surface within thirty days.
Within that time at least 200 miners
will be at work, if they can be had.
Several experts have been in Atcn-
ison the last few days making an ex-
haustive study of the condition of the
mine. Their reports have been very
fIattering and they recommend the
working of the lower Atchison vein.
They say with modern and improved
appliances the water car be handled
without much trouble and that they
believe the mine can be operated at
handsome profit.
