A MYsTERIors case of abscondlng

Il MYSTERIOUS case of abscOnding
is reported from Independence, Iowa.
Mr.. w. r. Kenyon, of the hardware
firm of Tabor & Kenyon, and always
one of the most honorable business
men in the town, recently left his
home, giving no intimation to his
family or business partner of his de.
parture. After the elapse of week.
his wife received u letter from him,
dated at Chicago, informing her that
he never intended to return. He
made a draw on the bank for 5000
of the firms money, and wrote his
partner to that effect. leaving the
business entirely in the hands Of Mr..
Tabor. No cause can possibly be
assigned for his act, inasmuch as his
family relations have always been of
the most agreeable, and his business
profitable.

communication from the pen of Mr..
j. Z. Conrad, of sterling, i'm which
that gentleman feels called upon TO
show the editor Of THE FREE PRESS

on high license instead Of prohibit
tion." Don't you know" Mr.. Con.
rad asks, that it is just as really
sin to iniure the community, or rob
or kill a man for thousand dollars,
as it is for ten % Agreed to, we
would ask Mr. Conrad if il would not
have checking influence over men
dealing out liquor If they were res
ponsible for the acts of the man who
might commit depredations through
the effect of their liquor. Would 1t
not have very great tendency to drive
out low, despicable holes, where
nothing but the most deadly poison is
kept : Would it not have the effect of
at least placing responsible men behind
the bar if the penalties for drunken
misdeeds were inflicted upon the heads
OF vendors. Would not the restraint
placed upon saloon keepers through
high license reduce drunkenness II
most assuredly would do all these
things and more. While THE FREE
PRESS never opposed the submission of
the prohibition amendment, for we be.
lieve it right prerogative vested in
the American people to have chance
To vote upon any and all questions of
importance, we nevertheless verify
believe that the measure would not
have carried. 1t was and is our idea,
that if the traffic cannot be proh iJited,
il should be regulated, and we have
ample evidence before us to unhesit-
atingly assert that prohibition does
not prohibit. III such jealous indi.
viduals as Mr.. Conrad who, without
question, are guided by the best of
motives and directed by good inten-
tions were willing to grapple with
