HOBSON STRONG ON ORATORY BUT VERY SHORT ON FACTS Has Killed Off With Alcohol More People In One Year Than Have Died From All Recorded Causes, Says Editor

~ rrlng to the coming of Captain n — w_ d P. Hobson, the Mount Pleas--"".'teoc-'pasB, of Pleasantville, N. Y., presents an interesting account of this man from Alabama. After describing his records as a soldier in the Spanish-American war and as a Congressman, the Mount Pleasant Compass goes on to say: Meanwhile, the great prohibition wave that burst of well-intentioned but ill-informed hysteria which for a short time swept the country, broke out. Hobson's own state, like many other Southern states, because of the race problem, adopted prohibition. Hobson came out in its support. He was promptly pounced on and exploited by the prohibition managers, who were able to offer him what was his very life-blood, a chance to stand prominent in the limelight. Hobson can be forgiven for advocating prohibition. He can be forgiven for his desire for publicity at all times. He is well within his rights as an American citizen in both courses. But he cannot be forgiven for the many mis-statements, the many perversions of facts, the many wild and unfounded "statistics" with which he has freighted his speeches. EX-CHIEF GIVES 'BOOTLEGGER' BAIL U. S. Charges Former Wichita, Kansas, Official Operated "Blind Tiger" O. K. Stewart, deposed Chief of Police of Wichita, who was arrested by federal authorities Thursday on a United States Grand Jury warrant, charging him with selling liquor without a government license at the City Hall, while Chief of Police last July, has been released on bond signed by his mother, Mrs. Katherine Lester, says a Wichita, Kansas, dispatch to the St. Louis Star, and his trial is set for next March. The liquor which Stewart Is alleged to have sold without a federal license was taken in raids on illegal saloon® in Wichita. Kansas is a prohi'.i . state, and it was one of the duties of Stewart as Chief of Police to arrest the owners of these illicit saloons, known in Kansas as "blind tigers" or "joints," and to confiscate the goods. The liquor was stored in the basement of the City Hall pending trial of offenders and was presented at the trial as evidence. After conviction or acquittal of the offenders the Chief of Police was supposed to take the wet goods to the basement of the City Hall and empty it in a sewer. The bottles were sold at auction to glass and bottling works and the proceeds went to the city. Hated To See Liquor Wasted. According to the information furnished the Federal Grand Jury, Ste-

Not Confined To Facts. _ Hobson ~ paints "Word pictures: Ke is a good talker. He carries his audi ences with him. He can make them believe that black is white. This is one of the powers which accrue tc those who make a practice and a business of public speaking. But he sim ply cannot, or will not, confine himself to facts. He has not made a single speech which could not be pulled to pieces afterward by the cold logic of facts. Hobson has killed off with alcohol more people in one year than have died of all recorded causes in the United States. He has peopled our insane asylums with more victims of alcohol than- they ever held. He has told of scientific study and scientific discovery regarding the evils of alcohol that never were born elsewhere than In his own brain. Plain, impressionable people, dazzled by the reputation of Hobson, have sat before him and shuddered as those much-kissed lips have thundered Invective against alcohol and have pictured fancied evils. What is even worse, they have believed that those word pictures were true. Hobson has painted them so often that, he now be Iteves in them himself. wart hated to see all the liquor going to waste, so he retailed it in the basement of the City Hall. Last July a trap was set for him by Henry Allen, editor of the Wichita Beacon and recent candidate for Governor. He sent his managing editor, Sidney A. Coleman, and his chief editorial writer, Dave Leahy, to a room in a hotel adjoining the City Hall, which commanded a view of the Police Chief's office, and then sent several men with marked coins to buy liquor. According to Coleman and Leahy, and the men sent to buy, the liquor changed hands and so did the money. The Chief of Police was arrested by the Sheriff and the marked money was found on him. The men sent to make the purchases were searched before entering the City Hall and had no liquor with them. Each had a flask in his possession when he came out. No Federal License Taken. It Is customary for the keepers of joints and blind tigers to take out a United States license to sell liquor In Kansas, and if they are arrested and prosecuted under the state laws there Is then no prosecution under federal laws, but Chief Stewart did not have a federal license, so when he was arrested by state authorities he was liable to government prosecution. After his arrest last July he was dismissed as Chief by Mayor Bentley. He denied he sold liquor to anybody and says the marked money he took from Allen's men was for the repayment of a loan. He said that the men who obtained the whisky told him they were going out to Great Bend, Kan., to work in the harvest fields and feared they would be snake bitten and that out of pity he gave them whisky to use as a remedy.

DRYS GIVE UP! THE 1916 FIGHT AGREE TO POSTPONE THE BATTLE FOR NATIONAL PROHIBITION .NOT IETJEPARED While a "Dry Nation by 1916" Was Formerly Their Slogan, Anti- Saloon League Now Only Hopes for Prohibition In 1920 _ The United States is not going "dry" before 1920. If it does the country will be ahead of the program mapped out by Anti-Saloon League workers at the semi-annual conference of the Illinois Anti-Saloon League board at a meeting held at the Great Northern Hotel. In postponing the voting of the United States "dry" until 1920, the Anti-Saloon League workers conceded four years more than they originally Intended to the business of brewers and bar-keeps. Some years ago "A Dry Nation by 1916" was their slogan. Now It's "A Dry Nation by 1920." Reformed Drunkards Speak, j When the board meeting adjourned ! at 3 o'clock the first open conference | on the campaign program opened at i the Auditorium Hotel.

A big banquet and another conference in the evening are included on the program. tobagcOext in PROHI TERRITORY ; But It's a Long Way to Kansas, Says Erie Editor The Erie (Pa.) Dispatch says: Woman suffrage and prohibitionist Kansas is now goiug to take another step forward. It is going to "eradicate the tobacco habit." The Kansas City Journal says: "Having driven the rum demon from the confines of Kansas, the reformers now turn their attention to cleansing society from every perfidious error into which the human family has fallen under the reign of individual license. We may expect soon to witness the pioneer anti-tobacco propagandist mount the stump and declare that tobacco in all its forms must go." By all means! What right had Sir Walter Rale'gh to introduce the nasty weed anyway? And yet think of the glorious u*e to which it was put. It was our first mcev. The Cyclopedia tells us that 'ii 1619 "ninety agreeable air's, young — ->d incorrupt, and In 1621. sixty more maids of virtuous education, young and handsome, " were sent from T ondon to Virginia. The first lot of these lad'es were bought for 120 -rounds of tobacco each, the second lot brought 150 pounds each. Who wouldn't give up his tobacco for such precious Christmas presents, and who wouldn't do their Christmas shopping early? Those were the days when giving up tobacco was worth while. But now — well what is Kansas 1 going to give us in its place? i And after tobacco, then snuff and | candy and talcum powder and perfume and even bread and cheese and kisses we presume. Well, may we pass into the beyond before all the Kansas ideas strike Lake Erie and its shores. i

Daily Fashion Talks BY MAY M ANTON A FASHIONAELE COAT OF BROADCLOTH

The Pattern for This De*>8n Besides Allowing for All Seams, gives the True Basting Line and shows Diagrams for Cutting and Making. This is one of the prettiest coats for little children that the season has to offer. It is exceedingly smart for immediate wear and it will also be useful later, when the mild days come. It is appropriate for every material that is soft enough to be made full. Here, it is made of rose colored broadcloth trimmed with sk.nk fur. It is very charming and essentially childlike in color and in treatment, but for " the coming season it would be pretty made in broadcloth with the collar and cuffs and lower edge of the body portion scalloped or trimmed with flat braid or perhaps with an edge of feather trimming. It has a plain body portion to which the shirred skirt is attached and the shirred body portion is arranged over it. If a plain coat is wanted, however, this over portion can be omitted. Here the edges are lapped and buttoned together and that makes perhaps the most pracical closing but if a more dressy effect is wanted thev can be made to meet at the center front with any trimming that may be liked finishing the edges and closed over an undcrlap.- For the present season, broadcloth or chiffon velvet would make a handsome coat. For the coming season, it will be pretty made up in broadcloth, poplin,

drap d'ete or in cashmere. Embroidery always makes a good finish and the collar and cuffs embroidered will be very charming whatever the color of the coal. Fur is the accepted trimming for the cold weather and fur will be worn for many weeks to come, but we are looking ahead and it is well to discuss the future as well as the present. Wool velours makes pret ty coals of this kind. Saiin cloth is exquisite in surface and would be very handsome with velvet collar and cuffs. The coat :s a very simple one to make and it would be impossible to find anything giving better or smarter lines. For the four year size will be needed, 3 Y. yards 27, 2 J-2 yards 36 or yards 44 with 3 >3 yards of fur banding. The May Manton pattern 8862 is cut in sizes- for 1, 2, 4 and 6 years of age.

A FASHIONABLE SUIT WITH MILITARY SUGGESTION. ' The Pattern of this Design Besides Allowing for All Seams, Gives the True Basting Line and Shows Diagrams for Cutting and Making. Each Piece of the Pattern Also is Lettered for Identification.

Boys are sure to like this suit. While it is not aggresssively military, it suggests the soldier and every normal boy is pleased by such an effect. The pockets are of the patch kind and arranged over the coat. If the six seem too many, two or more may be omitted, and many mothers will think that those upon tne belt and the peplum of the coat are sufficient. Tne trousers are of the knickerbocker sort, and can be drawn up by means of elastic inserted in the hems, or, joined to knee bands. The coat may be made cither with or without the applied yoke. The pattern is one of the new ones which gives both the basting line and tho seams, consequently it is very easy to cut and to make. There are numberless suitable materials for this model: in the picture, blue serge is worn with a white collar, but suits of this kind are made from frieze, from cheviot and from a variety of suiting materials. The skirt portion or peplum of the coat flares just enough to be becoming. Since it is cut separately from the body portion, and joined to it beneath the belt, the coat is a very simple and easy one to make. As shown in the picture, the collar is made of white linen and is finished with a separate band and buttoned into place and of course, when washable materials are used, that is the only sensible way to make the finish, but if the collar matches the suit, it could be sewed to the coat. For the little boys at least, the suits of khaki, gala tea and such heavier washable materials are in demand at all seasons. Khaki colored galatea is a great favorite and is so eminently soldier-like in its color and effect, that the boys themselves are sure to like it. For the 10 year size will be needed, 3 Yt yds. of material 36 in. wide, 3yds. 44, yds. 54, with yd. 27 in. wide for the collar.
