Every newspaper reader knows Walt
Mason whose ripping rhymes are sent
all over the country by press syndi-
cate. In recent magazine article
Walt has story of "Has-Been Who
Came Back" It Is his own story. He
began his journalistic career ut twen-
ty-twO, soon became victim Of drink,
and was dOwn-and-Outer at fOrty-five.
Then he went 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
job on the Gazette he said that he
had all the degrees that could be con-
ferred upon him by u 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 dry town. Now Emporia is

two years ago, In an age when
preacher could stew his soul in tOddy
without losing caste-Emporia In the
charter Of the town company started
with prohibition clause. It did not
always hold the Rum Fiend away. But
1t always bothered him to get in. So
he never waxed fat in Emporla. And
for generation Emporia, while not
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
one drinking, and to get liquor he
would have had to associate with loaf
ers and plug-uglles. 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 Emporla with my
one extra shirt and my $1.35. Since
prosperity overlook me I have received
flatterlng offers from Chicago, New
York, and even from London. But
little old Emporia is good enough for
me-"
Moral-A "has-been" can come back

GLAD TO BE FORCED OUT.

A Missouri saloonkeeper 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 booze emporium and
remarked: "I'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 war
which has forced them out Of busi-
ness is at the same time offering them
tie chance Of the ages to enter and
get 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
tial, win-the-war enterprises, and any
liquor dealer possessed of a scintilla
of self-respect and desire to stand well
with his fellow men will welcome this
opportunity to begin anew.-UniOD

Football, not soccer but the man-to-

that elsewhere would be considered too

The First battalion of the Three
Hundred and Seventy-fourth regiment
started the football craze late In Sep

regiment. Neither side scored, but two
broken noses were reported among the
casualties This was the first blood
drawn by the warriors and II added
such zest to the life of the camp that

i partisan league anG should be so con-
! sidered. rrh ~,
A statewide Jeffersonian club was
organized with Harvey Alfred, Speak
er of the House Of Representatives,
! as president and with directors rep
resenting every section of the state,
to assist in taking charge of the work
of preserving the party integrity.
The program adopted was submitted
to those party leaders and workers
who have in the past done the work
of the party in its campaigns and of
those who could be reached there was
not a single dissenting vote but on
the contrary the most hearty approv-
al of the course taken.
Every effort will be made to bring
the situation home to democrats of
the state and to arouse their interest
and cooperation in the effort to pre-
vent the party from falling into un-
friendly hands and to select candi-
dates who have been tried and found
to be true in their support of it's
principles and, in their support and
friendly feelings toward the presi-
dent. 1t is the declared belief Of those
back of the movement that only such
ardent supporters Of the president as
may have clearly demonstrated their
purposes and their ability should re-
ceive the support of the party at this
time and that Experimenting during
such war as that in which the presi-
dent and the country is engaged at
this time is dangerous, and that all
revolutionary J, efforts at this time
would be fatal to the American cause.
1t is in this spirit and for this pur-
pose that the State Jeffersonian club
has determined at this time to make
a fight for the candidates approved
by its members and by those demo-
cratic workers, who during the years
of the past have done the hard work
of the party.
