Forty years old today is Col. Luke
Lea OF Tennessee. who is said to have
led the party Of American officers
and non-coms who attempted to kid
nap the ex-kaiser Wilhelm. Those
acquainted with Colonel Lea and his
remarkable career are not surprised
at his daring adventure. Few men Of
forty years have been able to render
such a variety of distinguished serv-
ice to their state and nation. He was
barely "a when he hung out his shingle
IN Nashville and began the practice
of law, having previously graduated
from the University of the South and
the Columbia University law school
At 26 he was an influential factor in
Tennessee politics and five years later
he took his seat in the United States
senate. being the youngest senator in
tho sixty second congress.

IN DRY MICHIGAN.

Evidences of the great social uplift
that has resulted since May 1, are ap-
parent everywhere. Prohibition has so
materially reduced the number Of ar
rests that peace officers can no longer
live on their fees" said Sheriff Charles
Berry in his address before the Michi.
gan Association of Sheriffs, chiefs of
police and prosecuting attorneys, as re-
ported In the Christian Science Moni.
tor. He further emphasized his re-
marks by pointing out that last year
his county. which includes Grand Rap.
ids, had $50 prisoners; this year it has
10. With this statement as basis, the
convention adopted resolution to
urge the legislature to grant increased
fees. 1t is only few months ago that
all state institutions in Michigan were
overcrowded; now they do not know
what to do with the empty jails.
The people agree with Sheriff Berry
that 1.-THE adoption of prohibition is the
greatest single accomplishment that
Michigan has to her credit"

fects Of long daylight and long dark

As to the former. apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours In
order to make the greatest possible
use Of the long day. there seems to be
a kind Of stimulation OF the nervous

On the other hand. the coming Of the
long winter night is followed by kind
Of reaction, though no general depres'
sion Of vitality is apparent.
With the cessation of work the
period Of sociability begins. and the
circumstances favor a lapse Of self
control. This is the time when "Arctic
hysteria" is likely to show itself. Such,
for instance. is a form Of hysterical

PROHIBITION IN UTAH.

Salt Lake City's chief of police, ].
Farley White, says:
From my own observation can
truly state that employers, employees
and the community have benefited i'm
measurably from prohibition. Hither-
to, important business interests have
been handicapped by the apathy and
negligence of their employees. A state
of Indifference, due directly to indul-
gence in liquor, prevailed. All that
has disappeared and instead we find
the wOrkingmen today in a brisk
frame of mind, eager to perform their
work and thoroughly capable of do
ing so.
But the best results obtained from
prohibition are observed in the chill
dren of the city. School teachers with
whom I have conversed on the situa
ton tell me that large percentage
of their pupils formerly considered
detectives have become the leaders of
their class. The reason for their poor
work and lack of application was at
tributed directly to under-nourishment
and an absence of the little things of
life that make children happy and CON
tented. With prohibition in force the
children are receiving more care from
their parents. and as 4 consequence
devote themselves to their school tasks
with more energy and derive greater
pleasure from their work.
