We smoked the record number of 1,950,000,000 cigars, In the same quarter we drank 33,150,000 gallons of whiskey, an increase | of 450,000 gallons over the same period last year, and we drowned Be Prohibition party's little $30,000 campaign contribution in 19,800,000 barrels of beer, which is 320,000 barrels up on last year’s ecore.

Ase or so after election is scheduled to begin an investi- gation by the House Committee on Banking and Commerce which might well turn out to be the most important and far-reaching inquiry Congress has ever conducted. The Money Trust, so-called, mysterious, omnipotent, intangible, has been talked about until it has become a belief. Does it exist or is it a phantom? Are many sensible business men deluded and misled or are the finances of the country in the grip of a few rich men? The Committee proposes to find out. Statistics and subpoenas are already being prepared in formidable array. The Committee de- clares it will try-to get at the facts by questioning J. P. Morgan, George W. Perkins, George F. Baker, Cleveland H. Dodge, John D. Rockefeller and practically every other big financier in New York banking circles. Under the direction of the Committee’s counsel ex- perts have becn analyzing and tabulating facts and figures concern- ing almost every important business and banking concern in the country with a view to tracing their inter-relations. All this sounds businesslike and promising. A hunt for the tiger of money greed and monopoly seems fairly on foot. Yet—|— experience has proved that nothing is so elusive, nothing dissolves 69 readily into deceptive, innocent mist as the mutual understand- ings and machinations of first-water financiers. These gentlemen are genial, willing witnesses, They are even humorists, and their testimony is witty and delightful. Inquiries such as this usually trail off into jungles of statistics and data, where they dic forgotten. The Money Trust is a big dragon—one of the biggest any gov- ernment has ever tackled. The Committee will need a keen eye, an unwavering purpose and brave backing from public attention and in- terest if the monster is really to be tracked and brought to bay. — ho The ntoger in the Colter woodpile caste the exact shadow of @ Bull Moose. f ——-4+-—_____ UNDER GOOD AUSPICES. ATHEBINGS of spellbinders around the base of the Benja- G min Franklin statue during the noon hours are one of the features of the campaign. One day recently six orators held forth at once.

Fine example and proof of our ever-cherished, well-guarded right of free speech is this noonday group of earnest talkers, each with his little audience. Nobody would have been more proud of them then the busy, bro ntinded, level-headed old patriot around whose statue chance brings them together.

LEAN, talf man with a long beard and the glowing eyes of a mystic, moved from place to place throu: out Kansas, preaching that all men were free and equal and that this holy doctrine should be upheld if necessary by force and bloodshed. Thanks to him and others of his sort, the whole rich area of Kansas became a field of battle, murder, pillage and flame. ‘The man was John Brown, What he preached was pretty much along the lines of the Declaration of Independence. But Brown was pleading for the freedom of negroes, not of colonists. And, because he lacked true wisdom and “balance,” his beliefs led him to acts of laws lessness and at last to the scaffold, But he had lighted a spark that was to wet the world ablaze. In Kansas was this flame kindled. And, almost no other part of America so suffered and was the scene of such dramatic confilct. Kansas was part of the Louisiana Purchase (all except a afterward sliced off of Texas). The name comes from an Indian meaning “wind.” It is known as “the Sunflower State” and as “the Garden of the West.” Until the famous Santa Fe trail cut a 400-mile highway across It, fn 1824, Kansas was supposed to be part of “The Great American Desert” and in the latter year became a territory on {ts own account, Them trouble set in. ‘The United States was already verging upon the civil war, Pro-slavery and antl-slavery interests warred ‘over every inch of debatable ground. And fertile Kansas was om Horrors of Border War. ‘ke wildcats the borderland between the slave States and the free States. So at once it was seized upon by both parties. And between the two It was woll nigh annihilated, ‘The Southerners wanted Kansas for @ slave territory. ‘The abolitionists im the North wanted it to be free soll. Pro-slavery men from Missouri came into Kansas in 184 and built the city of Leavenworth. ‘The more violent element announced {t would “lynch, hang, tar and feather any white-Itvered abolitionist who presumed to pollute the soil.” The abolitionists countered by sending af anti-slavery colony from New England, ‘The pro-slavery men attacked and destroyed anti-siavery settlements, The anti-slavery men retaliated !n kind. Border warfare with all its horrors raged from one end of Kansas to the other. For years the whole territory seethed with violence and lawless bloodshed. The Government interfered, but for @ time could do ttle. Atrocities that now seem well nigh unbelievable were com- mitted by both factions. To add to the terrors of it all, the Territory in 1800 was scourged by drought and famine. Finally, in January, 1861, Kansas was admitted to the Union es an amt< slave State. ‘Then came the civil war, and a large part of the 9,000 troepe em« Msted from K were kept busy at home repelling border raids and Indies uprisings. Quantrell, the Confederate guerrfiia, raided Kansas with 40 men tn August, 186%, and burned ea@ pillaged the abolition town of Lawrence, massscring 10 defenseless people. This raid has been referred to as “the most ghastly episode in border history.” Before the civil war ended a series of Indian outbreaks terrorised the etricken tate; nor were they wholly quelled until 1878.

And a tear rolled down her cheek, “Please—PLEASE!" orled Mr. Jarr. “T'ye troubles of my own.” rs. Jarr got her handbag from her lap and fished out her handkerchief. At this signal of distress all the waiters flocked around the table. “Did this guy insult you, lady?” asked the headwaiter. “No, this guy didn't!" snapped Mrs. Jarr, “You insolent hash slinger: “Well, what's the lady crying for?” asked the hedgdwaiter blandly, “Because sh® finds herself in @ joint of this kind, and 1s nervous for fear she t out before it ts raldedt” cried Mr. Jarr. “Come, my dear!" he added in his most policitous manner.
