Editor Asterian: In your issue of this morning I notice, what senator Inalls has to say about the result of prohibition in Kansas. Let us see what oth ers say about it. John A. Martin, Governor of Kansas, says in his animal message: "Truly intemperance is decreas ing in Kansas; drinking habits are giving place to sobriety, and pub lic sentiment is deepening and strengthening in favor of whole some and practical laws to extir pate the open saloon, and the vice, the crime, the poverty, the suffering and the sorrow af which it is the fruitful source." And again lie sriys: "It is my opinion that not more than one tenth of the liquor is sold in the state to-day that there was before the passage of the prohibitory law." I he Chicago JS'eics lately pub lished the opinions of every pro bate judge in the state of Kansas on this subject of the effects of prohibition. Out of fifty-five there were fifty-two who testified that prohibition did prohibit, crime was greatby diminished; that taxes were lessened, and that the peoole were happier, more contented, more prosperous, since prohibition went into effect. If prohibition is a failure m Kansas, who sells the liquor? Some say the drug stores sell. Then of course we must expect to find a great increase in the num ber of drug stores to make up for the deficiency in saloons. But there is no such increase. In Kan sas, as in Oregon, every drug store and every saloon is compelled to take out a United States license- to sell liquors. Now let us com pare Kansas with Oregon in this respect. Tn Oregon there is one license to every 131 souls; in Kan sas there is one to every G0S souls. That includes the drug stores. How about taxes? The saloon causes four-fifths of our crime. It is the crime that causes our taxes here in Clatsop county as else where. So when we have abol ished the saloon we reduce the taxes, do we? Yes, that's it. Here in Clatsop county, with about sixty saloons, our taxes (not including city taxes) are about $5 to 6 per capita; in prohibition Kansas, 20 cents per capita; in prohibition Maine they are 10 cents per capita. Prohibition Vermont has a 10 cent tax, while high license Illinois has a 7 per capita tax. Now see what Hon. Jas. G. Blaine, of Maine, says about the success of prohibition in that state. He says: "Intemperance has steadily de creased in Maine since the first enactment of the prohibitory law, until now it can bo said with truth that there is no equal number of people in the Anglo Saxon world among whom so small an amount of intoxicating liquor is consumed as amor g the 050,000 inhabitants of Maine."

I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were oneor two specialists. The mcdlclno they applied was like Are to the sore, causing Intense pain. I saw a statement in tho papers telling what S. S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before I had used the second bottle the neighbors could notlco that my cancer was healing up. My general health had been bad for two or thrco years Ihadahactlngcough and spit blood continually. I had a severe pain In my breast. After taking six bottles ot S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew Btouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over alt but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it Is rapidly disappear ing. I would advise every one with cancer to glvoS. S.S. a fair trial. Mus. NANCY J.
