Carrie Nation, Smasher, Nearly All In.
Mrs. Carrie Nation, whose collapse
is reported, says the New
* York Press, was living with her
husband, David Nation, in Medicine
Lodge, Barbour county. ;
Kan., when she attained general!
I notice by attacking Wichita sa'
loons with a hatchet. She
smashed bottles, kegs, glasses, j
mirrors, furniture and windows, i
In a short time she had a corps
of hatchet women at work, ~ and
Kansas liquor sellers began to
worry. She extended her work
to Topeka and larger places. ,
Thousands of columns were filled
with stories of her raids. She i
visited Chicago, where she was
received coldly, but soon the
lake-siders realized that she was
much in earnest. Not only did
she destroy barrooms, but also
attacked nude statues, and paintings.
She made one man put a
sunbonnet and a Mother Hubbard
on a marble nymph.
In New York she caused less
excitement, except in Coney
Island, where she was hissed.
Easterners followed her in the
streets, but stayed away from
her lectures. She invaded the
White House in Washington and
and was put out. Then she visited
the senate and annoyed the '
lawmakers so much that she was
fined $25.
Mrs. Nation published The
Smashers' Mail, in which she ran
letters from sympathizers. She
also printed in that paper communications
from persons who
criticised her, under the heading.
"Letters From Hell." The saloon
smasher was deeply chagrined
by the fact that her son,
O. O. Nation, for whom she had i
bought a newspaper in Velasco, j
Tex., ran a big saloon advertise
a ill i f i ?
merit at tne top 01 nis nrst page, j
Mrs. Nation's husband got a di-:
vorce. They had been married j
25 years, but she referred to her [
life with him as "only a fleeting
incident."
The reformer has a strong face,
with a square jaw and massive
forehead. She always dressed
plainly, and has liked to be called
"a home defender." Neither1
fines nor imprisonment ever dis-1
couraged her aggressive hostility :
to barrooms.
The Next Speaker.
On the seventh day of March,
Champ Clark, speaker-designate
of the next national house of
representatives, will be G1 years
old, and despite Dr. Osier, the
days of his greatest usefulness to
the country are just dawning.
He was born at Bowling Green
in the good old Blue Grass State,
and her common school was his
earlier seat of learning. Later
he attended the Kentucky university
and Bethany college and
the Cincinnati Law school. In
1878 he was president of Marshall
college, West Virginia, having
attained the honor of being
the youngest college president in
the country, a distinction he held
for a Quarter of a centurv. In
addition to his work as a college
president, Mr. Clark says that
his occupations have been varied,
extending from his first employment
as a hired farm hand in
vacation times, to his service in
Congress. He worked as clerk
in a country store, edited a country
newspaper for a while, and
finally engaged steadily in the
practice of law and polities, and
in the latter profession, or game
as they call it. he achieved his
greatest distinction.
100,000 Deer Killed.
The Outing Magazine has been
trying for some time to secure
reliable estimates as to the condition
of game of all kinds in
this country as regards increase
or decrease and protection. Of
course it is practically impossible
to secure anything like an accurate
census of the numbers of
many kinds of game, but in some
cases, notably that of deer,
moose, elk, bear, sheep and goats,
fairly reliable guesses can be
made by game wardens and State
game commissioners.
In the February number space
is given to the deer and the
probable number in the States of
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
New York, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Utah and Colorado. Letters
received from the game commissioners
of these States give
a fairly reliable figure of the number
killed during the hunting season
of 1910. The number of dee 1
in these few States is approxi
mately 250,000.
Out of this number, for th<
season of 1910, the official figure!
show that about 40,000 deer wer<
killed in season and probably a;
many more out of season. To b<
sure, these figures do not poin
to any definite conclusion; beinj
official they do not bear on thi
cases that evade the official eye,
and are often more dangerous
and difficult to deal with.
Tariff Revision.
TVio true nrinninlp on vvViifVi u
tariff should be constructed was
thus stated by Thomas Jefferson
in 1793:
"Instead of embarrassing commerce
under piles of regulating
laws, duties and prohibitions,
could it be relieved from all its
shackles in all parts of the world,
could every country be employed
in producing that which nature
has best fitted it to produce, and
each be free to exchange with
others mutual surpluses for mutual
wants, the greatest mass
possible would then be produced
of those things which contribute
to human life and human happiness;
the numbers of mankind
would be increased and their conditions
bettered."
This principle is just to all,
says a writer in The National
Monthly. It enables each country
to use its own resources to
the best advantage, and to get
the benefit of the resources of
other countries. Each has its
own natural advantages. Commerce
consists in the exchange
of their respective products.
This exchange is in itself a benefit.
No ship subsidy can ever
create commerce. That springs
from the natural interchange of
the products of various countries,
and this is best promoted by the
operation of equal laws, which
may, indeed, tax trade, but tax
it equitably, not for the purpose
