ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The leading Apostle of Common Sense
in the United States Is the Sage of Potato
Hill. Ed Howe of Atchison, Kansas. No
body could possibly think of accusing him
of being a crank or theorist. He is so
stubbornly practical and hard-headed that
he leans over backwards.
II is interesting to see what he has to
say about prohibition. i find this in his
Monthly, and recommend its reading to
those gentlemen who seem TO have an
idea that it Is the preachers and women
and Chautauqua Circles that have abolished
the booze. Mr.. Howe says:
Thousands of worthy men hate pro-
hibiton for no other reason than that
they hate the long-haired men and short
haired women who have for years been
Objectionable in advocating the doctrine.
