Editorial Notes.

An order has been issued by the
president closing all saloons at mil
itary posts-a rough thing on post
traders.
The Kansas law to enforce the
prohibitory amendment is the most
stringent thing of the kind we have
ever seen. This, with the recent ex-
ecutive order closing military sa-
looms, closes every dram shop III the
State. This is prohibition with a
vengeance and we hope that, strict
as the law is, ii may be enforced.
