THE MAN WHO CAME BACK.
Every newspaper reuder knows Walt
Mason whose rippling rhymes are sent
all over the country by a press syndi
cate. In a recent innguzlne article
Walt has a atory of a "Hus-Been Who
Came Back." It Is his own utory. He
begun his journalistic career ut twenty-two,
soon became a victim of drink,
and was a down-nnd-outer at forty-five.
Then he' went to dry Kansas, began
oguln at the bottom of the bidder and
climbed to the top. This Is what Wil
liam Allen White, editor of the Em
poria Gazette and well-known author
says of him :
"When he (Walt Mason) wrote for
a job on the Quzette he said that he
had all the degrees that could be con
ferred upon blm by a certain Institu
tion which claimed to cure booze-flght-ers,
and thut he had tried high re
solves many times, only to wake up
and find the brewer's dnughter feed
ing his week's salary to her favorite
cat . He sold he wanted before ho quit
to try a dry town. Now Emporln Is
a dry town. It started dry. In 1857
that Isn't a misprint for It was sixty
two years ago, in an age when a
preacher could stew his soul In toddy
without losing caste Emporia In the
charter of the town company started
with a prohibition clause. It did not
always hold the Rum Fiend away. But
it always bothered him to get In. So
he never waxed fat In Emporia. And
for a generation Emporia, while not
bone-dry, has not been moist.
"When Walt Mason came here the
town was fulrly dry. Alcohol formed
no part of the town's conscious
thought. No one invited him to drink.
He heard no talk of drink ; he saw no
one drinking, and to get liquor he
would hnve had to associate with loaf
ers and plug-uglies. So Walt Mason in
a dry town, having plenty of work to
do, did It well. And the town stood by
blm and cheered blm. Ten thousand
people beenme his friends. They are
his friends today.
"It is ten years," says Mr. Mason,
"since I came to Emporia with my
one extra shirt and my $1.35. Since
prosperity overtook me I have received
flattering offers from Chicago, New
York, and even from London. But
little old Emporia Is good enough for
me.
Moral A "hns-been" can come back
la a dry state.
GLAD TO BE FORCED OUT.
A Missouri saloonkeeper perhaps
txpressed the sentiments of his fel
lows fairly well when on being cnlled
to account for his violation of the lnw
repnrdlng the Rnle of liquor, he locked
tte door of his booze emporium and
remarked: "I've oult business for
good. The booze business is dead
anyway, nnd I'm glnd to be out of it."
v believe this voices the feeling of
the majority of the wets. The wnr
which has forced them out of busi
ness Is at the same tlmo offering them
t!ie chnnce of the ages to enter and
pet a start in legitimate industries.
One of the avowed r en sons for the
President's brewery closing edict was
the need of men for the reully essen
tial, wln-the-wnr enterprises, and nny
liquor denier possessed of a scintilla
of self-respect and desire to stand well
with his fellow men will welcome this
opportunity to begin anew. Union

ENGLAND WATCHING.
On the eve of his departure for the
States after taking pnrt In the prohi
bition campaign in Canada, Daniel A.
Poling received the following signifi
cant letter from non. Dnvld Lloyd
George, prime minister of Great Brlt-i-ln.
There hnd been no previous cor
respondence the letter came unso
licited:
"I am following with great Interest
the war restrictions on alcohol actu
ally enforced nnd those under con
sideration in the United States.
"We have ourselves not been
neglectful of the necessities Imposed
by wnr. We hnve stopped entirely the
manufacture of spirits; we have cut
Cown the brewing of beer by more
Ihon two-thirds and the hours during
which it enn be sold to less thnn oue-
Ihlrd.
"Should the exigencies of wnr ne
cessitate further restrictions, we shall
fellow with Interest your enmpntgn
for the enforcement of wnr prohibi
tion in the United States of America."

George Adams In the Association

hnd been obtnlned In his honor. When
ho wns informed of this nnd asked to
take some, he snld: "Pass me the
cnuld water that Is the best drink for
a man who has work to do."
A LIFE SENTENCE
Jack Lnlt, In Hearst's Magazine, has
Omaha Slim, discussing the law
against whisky manufacturing, sny:
" 'For the period of the wnr' is what
the lnw said. I call that rich. 'Period' is
right. A period is what comes at the
end of the sentence, nln't it? Well, this
period is the end, an' the sentence is
for life. Can you see us gettln' back
our rights nfter the wnr? If the proud
an' prlmevol ins'tltootlon couldn't stay
here when It was here it's got a fine
chnncct to get back here when it ain't
here."
THEY WILL BE GRATEFUL.
