kansas was the pioneer state in
the United States to prohibit the
liquor traffic By constitutional amend
ment, and it proclaims the success of
this legislation, which forever barred
Intoxicating liquors from the states
boundaries The statement says:
Respect for Law.
To-day, more than four decades
after the passage of the amendment
there is found throughout the state
q well developed temperance con-
science-a strong disgust for intem-
perance. Respect for the law, which
IN early years of prohibition was
brought about by compulsion, now
is voluntary. Each generation is
poisonous drink.
When the eighteenth amendment
of the United States, Constitution
closed all the distilleries and brew
cries OF other States, few people in
Kansas proceeded to equip them
selves to, produce what they wanted.
me result was a new violator of the
law, the manufacturer Of home brew.
Thereupon Kansas proceeded to pro-
vide a law which penalized these
violators.
Enforcement Easier.
Kansas views on prohibition
summarized through the expressions
OF her peace officers are: No repeal
or modification is needed, wanted or
considered Ease of enforcement
grows with enforcement.
.Oficials and private citizens are
agreed that prohibition Is the State 8
best business asset.
| Many crimes that are common in
communities that tolerate liquor are
absent from Kansas
I Conviction of violators is easier
now than at any time in the past,
eating liquor is a commercial and
| social detriment to any community.
Many undesirable influences. that
attend liquor were banished from the
State when liquor was banished.
Liquor sales are not even per-
mftted in Kansas on doctors preScrip-

SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
FIGHT WAGE SCALE
Engineers and Electricians
Are Expected to Be Joined
by Janitors.

Confronted with many hours of ex-
ira labor without additional compen-
saiton as a result of the new reclassi-
fication law, engineers and eiectri-
clans in the District public school
system today began a determined
fight to adjust this situation which
they describe as a grave injustice.
The janitors, through their associa-
ton, also are expected to join forces
in the campaign.
Attorney Paul f. Lesh has been
retained by the engineers and electri-
clans to lead the fight in their be-
half. What steps the janitorial
force will take has not been decided
The janitor's association does not
meet again in regular session until
ment among the janitors, however,
for a special meeting in the near
future, at which they could take ac-
tion on a proposal to unite with the
engineers and electricians.
Work without Pay.
the engineers, electricians and janitors
in the public schools are required, ac-
cording to an Interpretation of off,
cials, to work every night their services
may be needed at the community CEN
ters and night schools without extra
compensation. Before the reclaSSifica-
tion law became effective, these groups
of school employees who worked at either
f1ra rteyhf sob hn fxy
centers, were paid for overtime out of
the community center and night school
appropriations.
Mr.. Lesh said it was his opinion that
the reclassifcation law as applied to
the custodian force of the public schools
lieve the reclassification salary covers
work without limit" he declared. fThere
must be some misunderstanding about
the law"
VIII Confer With Omcials.
Mr.. Lesh has planned to hold con-
fereaces with the Government ac-
counting officers and those respon-
sible for the Interpretation placed on
the reclassification law concerning
mine whether the construction is in
correct. His next step was not dis
closed.
The increase given to janitors, elec-
tricianS and engineers under the re-
classification law, it was pointed out,
is very small. In some cases 1t is
virtually the same as under the old
salary schedule, which included the
s24O bonus. If required to work at
night without additional compensa-
tion the custodians. it was said.
would receive a much lower rate of
pay than they did in previous years,
when extra remuneration was granted.
Work Long Hours.
The janitors, engineers and electri-
clans are now working longer hours
than any class of school employees

Reverence for nature. for law and
for God was laid down as the funda-
mentals of Boy Scouthood and of
American institutions by President
Coolidge in an address delivered last
night at the White House and trans
mitted by telephone to a farewell
meeting in New York for a group
of Boy Scouts who will sail today to
attend an international gathering OF
the organization in Copenhagen.
The President bade the scouts fare
we'll in his capacity as honorary
president Of the American Boy Scouts
and enjoined the departing boys to
show to their foreign associates in
the scout movement that they desired
to protect and cherish their own
country and contribute to the we'll
being, right thinking and true living
Of the whole world"
There was no Boy Scout organiza-
ton in my boyhood. but every boy
who has the privilege OF growing up
on a farm learns instinctively the
three fundamentals of scouthood." the
President said.
Reverence for Nature.
'"The first is reverence for ma
ture. Boys should never lose their
mountains and the plains, the open
places and the forests. That love
will be a priceless possession as your
years lengthen out. There is an in
structive myth about the giant An
teus Whenever, in a contest, he was
thrown down he drew fresh strength
from his mother, the earth, and so
was thought invincible. But Hercules
lifted him away from the earth and
SO destroyed him.
a.. tn 0oil
every man. There is healing in the
trees for tired minds. and for our
overburdened spirits there is strength
in the hills, If only we will lift up
our eyes. Remember that nature is
your great restorer.
Reverence for Law.
1.-THE second is reverence for law.
I remember the town meetings OF my
boyhood, when the citizens of our lit
tie town met to levy taxes on them
selves and to choose from their own
number those who should be their Of
ficers. There is something in every
such meeting, in every election. that
1 am thrilled at the thought of my
audience tonight. for 1 never address
boys without thinking that among
them may be boy who will sit in
this White House. Somewhere there
are boys who will be presidents of
of banks, owners of splendid farms
and useful industries, members of
Congress. representatives of our peo-
pie in foreign lands. That is the
heritage Of the American boy.
twas an act of magnificent cour-
age when our ancestors set up na-
tion wherein any boy may aspire to
anything. That great achievement
was not wrought without blood and
sacrifice. Make firm your resolution
to carry on nobly what has been SO
nobly begun. Let this nation, under
your guidance, be a finer nation. Re-
solve that the sacrifices by which
your great opportunities have been
purchased will be matched by Sacri-
| fice, on your part, that will give your
children even a better chance.
Reverence for God.
THE third is a reverence for God.
It is hard to sec how q great man can
be an atheist Without the sustain
ing influence of faith in a divine

WHAT DID TIE WORLD GAIN BY WAR?

PRINCE, NEWTON D. BAKER, GENERAL PERISH ING AND OTHERS TELL WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT IT; THE FORMER KAIsER'S SECRETARY SAYS; EVERYTHING LOST;
Seward daily gateway., 1924-09-04

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. A. A symposium on "what Did the World Gain by the World War;" is published today by the American Legion Weekly. The majority of the replies, many of them from facous Americans, agree there were gains, though some deny any.
 The first person quoted, the form CT kaiser's secretary, Admiral H. won Rebeir-P -Paschwitz, said:
 What did the world gain? No thing. It lost everything"
 "This answer said the article. "was in reply to letter to William Eohenzollern, Esq., in Holland. It is taken to represent very closely the real views of the former emperor" The symposium was prepared to feature the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the World War.
 Frederick Wilhelm, former crown prince, says:
 '"lhe result was that all nations are arming as hard as they can, and what about democracy ?-Just look at the cables from over the whole world. Dictatorship of some sort or other is the favorite idea. The only good the war did is to show that a nation not we'll armed is powerless and that such nation gets no help from anybody"
 Newton D. Baker said:
 Taking the long view, I believe it is possible now to say that the world is at last convinced that the balance of power theory is an un- stable basis for world peace and that international cooperation is the only other plan to be tried. This is great gain"
 General John J. Pershing said:
 "While we are probably too close to the events of the world war defi- nitely to judge of it's general bene- fits to mankind, yet the victory did result in preventing domination by autocracy, with all it's disastrous eff fleets upon civilization, and the evil dence is clear that the free peoples of the world will unite in resisting such domination
 General Henry T Allen, com manding American army of occupa- | tion:
 "The world has seen that the im- pious creeds that might makes right, and that the state as tn eincarnation of power stands above law, have been overthrown. The world has learned much more of the inter-de- pendence of states. It has learned that Europe cannot proceed proper ly along the road of moral and phy- sical restoration without our parti- cipation in the great unsettled posi- | bellum measures"
 American soldier No. 100000, who served in the ranks throughout the war, and is now staff sergeant:
 "Although we cannot claim that as a result of the world war the world has been made safe for de- mocrac. ;" it is apparent that the American principle that govern ments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed has been for the first time impressed upon European minds"

Going Vacationing In Your Auto?
Here Are Some Pointers About No.
Cal. and Northwest Scenic Points

The trans-eontinental touring sea-
northern California or for points
east from California are finding the
Lincoln Highway the most attrac-
tive for travel, according to a bull
letin issued by the National Auto
mobile Club.
The road is paved to Placerville,
and thence there is good dirt road
to Strawberry, Meyers and Lakeside
and then fair mountain road to Car
son City and east. A detour is
advised on the road between Gold
Hill and Bush 3 Ranch as this see
ton of the route~is not in good
shape The detour goes by way of
Fish Springs.
A. great deal of information has
been broadcasted in the east in re
gard to touring conditions in Cali
fornia which is the result of too
much imagination on the part OF
eastern newspaper writers. The
hoof and mouth quarantine was eX-
aggerated to such an extent by the
eastern press that it has frighten-
ed great many motorists from
California. For that reason, organi-
cations with the public interest OF
California at heart have advised all
those who have friends in the east
who contemplate travel into Cali
fornia, to write and attempt to
