There are one hundred and five counties in the State. Ei,.hty•sevr.:i have no in- sane, and fifty-four no teehle.mindt:d ; ninetysix have no inebriates; thirty. eight poor farms have np ism ttes fifty-three county jilts are v.empty ; and sixty-flve counties have no ptie- oners serving sentences. These coun- ties have not tried a criminal case in ten years, and in one county there bas not been a grand jury in twenty-five years. Prohibition seems to be a "failure" only when some one wants to pelt or drink liquor. They have in the Savings. Bank $118 for each person in the State. The assessment values amount to $1681 for eaoh.person there. And yet this state was once called "Poor Kansas." It is now rich. In 1907 r,he sent $50,000,000 to Wall Street to help out the financial difl3cultiee. She created wealth faster than any other state in the Union. Kansas moneyed men hold $07,000,000 of mortgages. They have a permanent school fund of $10,000,000, Last sum- mer a severe drought was experienced in the state but it didn't frighten them. badly because they are free from .hay- ing to keep up an army of paupers, criminals, insane and feeble-minded. The cost of the administration of justice is consequently very light. We may well ask, "What's wrong with Kansas ?" Ob, she's all right" comes the answer. Twenty-five years ago the liquor dealers and their friends used to com- fort themselves with the thought that when the next generation came along they would return to license but the fact is that the law is becoming strict- er year after year by the amendments passed by the legislature until now, not evert the drug stores are allowed to sell any intoxicating drink, and the e amendments are passed by the youug men, who are making the laws for the State. One hot day last summer 150 min,. merchants, lawyers, doctors, editors, clerks, mechanics, bankers, farmers made a trip in autos through thirteen towns and no beer or spirits were asked for by any member of the party. Instead in one town the people tbere provided large stone jure filled with lemonade where all might drink fre.ly. Oh yes, Prohibition is a succi es in Kansas and it will be a •nceess in Huron too. Let us vote and woe k for it witivall our might and main. Again opponents of- prohibition are fond of saying that prohibition only increases the sale cf liquor and that the dealexs sell more in dry territory than in wet. Well, the brewers have a year book in which are given some figures along these lines.. They prove that in nine prohibition States the average consumption of malt liquors is 135 gale. per capita, per year, and in fifteen local option States (part wet and part dr) the average con- sumption is 4 37 gals. But in twenty- seven saloon States, license territory, mostly wet, the consumption reach s an average of 25,23 gals. per capita per year. "The difference between 1,- 35 and 25. 23 gals. is considerable, and it need not be wondered at that the brewers and distillers are intensely interested in the question of prohibi- tion whether in States or in smaller sections. A dry county affects the business of one or more brewerit s, and the mannfacturers can well afford to spend large sums of money to keep the sluiceway open for the discharge of their swill upon the public." But even then how they can persuade such men as the Clinton defenders of the traffic to support it, surpasses our imagination. To show the value placed on probit i - tion when once it is secured, allow me to make the following quotation ft om a recent speech made by Governor Glenn of North Carolina, After speak- ing of the campaign he continuer— "When the vote was taken May 26th, I907, thank' God 1 North Carolina de- clared for state-wide prohibition by 45,352 majority. If you were to leave it to the people of my state tomorrow as to how they should vote they would cut out the saloon by 150,000 majority. for they have tasted all the sweets r.f temperance and will never go back to the idols of drunkenness and sin." Yours sincerely, W. H. Johnston, Sec. of Stanley Township, Temperance Committee. s..;tti. Roman Catholic Toleration in Spain In Spain, just the day before Christ - mate we are told, Col. Juan L sbrador, a Protestant, was sentenced to six month's imprisonmement for refusing to attend mass. The colonel belongs to the Naval artillery, and he declared that it was repellant to his conscienee and his dignity as a man to attend the Roman Oatholle service. .b'or tTiie offence, in the year 1018, he is to go to Jail. We do not care particularly whether the colonel le a Protestants -a Jew, or a Mohammedan, but to send any man to prison for refusal to attend mass is nothing less than an outrage. 1f in Canada a Homan Catholic were to be sent tis jail for eefusal to attend Protessent worehlp, we would hear a great deal about Protestant intoler- ance; yet we venture to say that not one Roman Oatholio paper in Oanada,,. with the eitception possibly of the Wort carat ltaviett, will date Mr. Geo. Moir Wit•bes to announce to the citizeps of Wingham that he Is is the .old stand to stay. Shoe Shining and Dyeing. Cigars, Gum, Laces, etc..
