The following is related by a Topeka correspon-

Of its eutire truthfulness:

- There is more downright cowardice and
lack of backbone TO the square inch among the
Kansas prohibitionists than any equal number
of men in the United States. They were terri
bly, courageous in advocating the passage of the
amendment and the law; and none were so
loud or uncompromising as the preachers.
But now that they have passed the law, they
sneak back, and call upon others to enforce the
law, and the old plugs of preachers howl and
rave, and abuse people from the pulpit; but
when it comes to taking the bull by the horns,
and enforcing the law, they get lot of women
together, and put them forward to do the work.
They think women are less liable to receive
abuse and rough usage; and if they do receive
it, these brave fellows are willing they shall
stand it. Such sneaking cowardice is charac-
teristic of the fellows who want to regulate 9TH
er mems affairs.

Chief who now have children married, and
grandchildren almost old enough to read the
paper. 1t may be said, in truth, that the people
Of Northern Kansas have raised their families on
the Ckief. That is why the people are generally
such good citizens, and the country so prosper
Gus.
We think, if we have no bad luck, that We are
good for at least twenty-five years more, and
hope to be able to complete Volume so Of the
Chief, when we shall take another look back,
and note the changes and improvements that
have taken place between 1892 and 1907. We
hope all our subscribers may live to 60 with us
to that time.

~ At the Jefferson County District Court, at
Oskaloosa, last week, Judge Crozier put two men
off the jury, and abused them, because they did
not agree with the other ten on a verdict. But
as it was a liquor trial, and the accused party
had admitted, on the witness stand, that he sold
liquor, and the two jurymen could not see their
way clear to convict, the Judge had right to
get spunky. What rascals this prohibition law
does make of people!

A LONG FELT WANT The people are not con-
tent with the candidates proposed for Congress
men at large. They hunger and thirst and pine,
as it were, for something more satisfactory, and
their uneasiness is becoming more and more ap-
parent. They demand something to appease
their cravings. In short, they want a bald-headed
ticket, regardless of sections, tiers, or valleys
Such ticket can be had embracing men of first
class ability. The people expect Joe Craney, Of
Osborn, who is already chosen a delegate, to see
that this boom is properly handled. We present
the following ticket, as a starter:
