A DEADLY POISON.

We are not going to write TRADE
against whisky this time. 1t is
poison we know. But there are
other poisons. They are deadly
ones. There is a most dangerous
poison to be found in the literature
of the day. There is but little said
about it. 1t is tolerated in all our
cities. 1t is not even regulated by
license. 1t is dealt out in the most
of our book stores. 1t 10 insidious,
therefore extremely dangerous.
Our boys are exposed, and our girls
too. 1t is dealt out without being
properly labeled, poison" 1t is an
awful narcotic; one taste creates an
appetite for more. The victim
grows fond of the potion. The
more he takes the more he wants.
We refer to dime noyels; yellow
back literature generally ;some Sun
day school stories; such papers as
Days Doings, Police Gazette, New
Varieties, Wild Oats and New
York Weekly ; any of those sickly,
Sensational, blood and thunder,
crime-dispens!ng books aud papers
are poisonous. This deadly poison
is dealt out TO our boys and girls
when in their most impressive age /;
just while their intellectual and
moral characters are Ia The forma-
tive stage. The eager desire to
know Is seized upon by this terrible
foe and corrupted. The intellect is
poisoned. The freshness of the
heart is killid. The great powers
of the soul are destroyed. The
wTetched victim becomes q drivel-
ling, Eighty sentimentalist, or a
morbid, moral dyspeptic. The head
of the poisoned one is sick nigh
unto death. The heart is faint.
The whole moral being is full of
wounds end bruises. A terrible
death of all the higher, iuer, nobler
attributes of the mind and heart is
almost sure to follow.
There is no Law to prohibit the
sale of this poison. 1t is not even
restrained by license. II is con-
cOcted by BoheInians oyer their
brandy bottles; put up in the most
attractive forms; displayed in the
most conspicuous places to tempt
orr boys and girls from the paths of
intellectual virtne. They catch at
the tempting bait, and swallow
without thinking of the danger.
But what can we do? How are
we to keep our children ont of the
way OF this death? We know of
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1874-05-22

but ono way to avert the evil. Al
most everything depends upon the
parents. The teacher can help. We
want to arouse as quickly rs possi-
BILE in the mind of the child the
love of the true, beautiful and good.
We want TO provide them with
good books, books of travel, biog-
raphy, history, Sc. And We would
recommend some good story books.
We all like stories. 1t is natural.
There are many story books which
are good and useful. Supply our
children with those and they will
care but little for vicious stories.
Take one or two good papers. A
good paper, full of fresh news, is al
ways attractive. Our boys and girls
will read, and if they are not furn-
ished with good matter they will
seek the bad. Let us keep a good
supply of mind food on hand, lest
our children seek that which is not
good.
AS a people we need to wake uE
to the necessity of putting dowr
this evil of a poisoned literature
Let crusaders awake, and reformerl
cry aloud.

Executive Committee, has issued a
call for the uRterri fed .sieading
Democrats throughout the State

are NOW approaching political
crisis, and il we are wise aud place
our party in full sympathy and har-

REsIGNED.-Gen. Frazer, chan
celiOr of the State university, has
resigned. The Commonwealth in
al editorial says:
every person interested in the
educational welfare of Kanaas
must learn with sincere regret the
resignation of Gen. Frazer as chan
cellor of the state university. Not
only has his personal influence for
good been felt in the institution
with which he has been connected,
but his energy, liberal views, ripe
scholarship and broard culture
have been impressed upon the peo-
pie at large, and they have LEARNED
to look upon him as a representa-
tive of the educational interests of
their state, which is emphatically a
state of schools and schooi-houses."
1t is said that he has received
several Invitations 10 take positions
in colleges in the cast. But some
of his friends in this state urge him
to stay and run for Superintendent
of public instruction.
The board of regents, on the ac-
ceptauce of his resignation, passed
the following resolution:
In accepting the resignation of
Gen. Frazer as chancellor of the
university, the board of regents de-
sire to express their appreciation of
the valuable services he has rem
dered to the Institution and to the
cause of higher education in the
state therefore,
ReSol0ed, That TO the efficient
and faithful labors of chancellor
Frazer in organizing the university
and arranging the scheme of in.
struction, and TO his wise counsel
in regard to the plans aud appoirit-
ments of the new university build
ing, the board believe is largely
due the high position which the
university occupies as one of the
leading institutions of learning in
the country.
ResoE0ed, That the thanks of the
board aud of the citizens generally
of the State are due to Gen. Frazer
for the ability and success with
which he has laid the foundation in
our university for broad and gem
erons culture.

The Kansas City Times can blow
both hot and cold. When il talks
politics for Missouri, it is intensely
Democratic. When it turns to Kan
sas It is Independent or Reform.
1t has no use for Liberal or indie
pendent measures in its own State.
But It Is a warm advocate OF these
in our State. We admire its
Straightforward inconsistency. II

ty. 1t believes the Democratic par
ty competentin Missouri. 1t Knows
the Democracy ia powcrless in this
State, hence IL favors any and all
opposition TO Republicanism
Anything to beat the Republican
party" In this il is perfectly con
sisteni. So we have in this mcrcu
rial paper an anomaly; an inconsis

their being in that element. About
nine out OF every ten of them are
old, unsuccessful candidates for Of

rise up and move in the matter we
should expect to see something
done in the way OF purifying our
politics. But while the present
host of rejected candidates for Of

any good result. Their cry of re-
form means, eve want Office" The
people will never trust such selfish
