Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1883-10-12

The little sheet down the way is anx-
ious To know just how the INDEX is GO
ing tO endorse the resolutions adopted
at the Democratic convention at this
place last Saturday, and published i'm
another part of this paper.
III anyone can imagine the editor of
pretended prohibition organ falling
into more stupid and unenviabie posi-
ton we would like to know what the
circumstances would be. Can anyone
object to the resolution or has anyone
ever imagined that the INDEX has ever
opposed the enforcement of any law on
the statute books of Kansas?
The editors of the Cresset, with the
Republican party, are responsible for
the non-enforcement of the law. The
county officials are Republicans and we
have never heard of any of them or i'm
fact any Republican claiming the re-
ward that st. John offered to any one
who would inform on sheriff or coun-
ty attorney who failed to do their full
duty under the prohibition law. The
simOn-pure prohibitionists Of this coun-
ty are Republicans, but they have GER
tainly winktd at the neglect OF duty on
the part of the very men they have put
in office. Opportunities to convict have
presented themselves every day for two
years and we have heard no convictions.
The editor of the Cresset, notwith-
standing his record as temperance
meeting lacturer, made recently, could
have been relied on as a competent wit
ness in these cases. And such as he
are the very kind who should be called
on to give evidence. lie abhors evas-
sions on the part of witnesses, or pre-
tends to, and of course would have told
all he knew.
This same incOsistent censor of Demo-
Gratis, has championed the cause of the
Law and Order council, and what has
that body done outside of creating debt
and stirring up trouble without doing
a particle of good Five places have
been selling liquors, doubtless daily, and
the city would not even accept the rev.
ellue they were Willing To pay.
The city and county are in debt for
costs incurred by the child's-play of the
Prohibition Republicans in this county.
And isn't it nice come off that pa
per like the Cresset should talk about
Democrats in connection with this law !
We have opposed the prohibition law
from the time it was first suggested. bat
so long rs it is the law of Kansas, we
say, for the sake of good government,
enforce it or repeal it.
Many Republicans are tired of the
course of their party in pretending to
favor the enforcement of law while at
the same time the officials elected by
that party are continually neglecting
their duty in enforcing it.
! The convention tomorrow must either
refuse to touch the prohibition issue, or
by endorsing it say they are opposed to
the official conduct of the party leaders
in this county.

As was To be expected, the Cressct Is

We take pleasure in placing before
the public the Democratic ticket nomi-
mated last Saturday and have no hest
fancy in pronOuncing il worthy of the
support of all classes. The nominees
are all old citizens Of the county and
have regulations for honesty and COM
potency and sobriety. They have been
selected with view to their fitness for
the several positions, and We think the
convention acted wisely in making the
nominations il did. No matter who the
Republicans may nominate tomorrow.
their work will most likely go for moth

county affairs long enough, and thought

y convention of representatives of all
classes interested in the Animal Indus
tries of the United States will be held
in Chicago, Thursday and Friday, Nov
ender 18th and 10th, 1888, for conference
concerning contagious diseases among
our domestic animals.
In addition to addresses and reports.
the following topics are proposed for
discussion:
l. The extent to which contagious
diseases exist among domestic animals
i'll this country.
2. The modes by which they are in
troduced or disseminated.
3. Methods by which they nav be
eradicated, or infected districts be isO-
lated.
4. The efficiency of existing legisla-
ton relative To such diseases.
Ii is desired that this convention
may be national and thoroughly repre-
sentative in its character. The time
and place have been selected for the
conveniences of the large number of
those directly interested in the ques-
ton to be discussed, who are expected

The bright future that appears to lie
I'm store for Medicine Lodge should adj
monish her citizens to prepare for and
organize a more thorough city govern
ment than mt present exists. We have,
from time To time. called the attention
Of voters To this fact and now. in view
of the promised railroad facilities and
thesconsequent Increase in the city's
population, ut no distant day, it is of
the most vital Importance that work
ing and energetic city council be placed
in charge-one that will take an inter
est in the affairs of our town, and make
ample provision for the enforcement of
the city laws and devise means for de-
fraying the expenses of the same. The
town to-day is without marshal, the
city treasury is empty and a cOnsidera-
ble debt is hanging over this municipal
ity : the council is divided and it is with
great difficulty that quorum can be Sc
cured at a meeting Of the board. One
vacancy already exists and we learn that
another will follow in few days.
When the present council took poss-
essiOn last April there was something
near $50 in the city treasury, and now
debt of about $500 exists and there is
no visible source of revenue to till the
depleted treasury. The citizens wonder
why this state of affairs exists. We
have attempted to explain the cause
and have protested against the council
following the course it has, which has
involved the city in financial discredit.
The sO-called reformation they proposed
for the people has been a myth and the
tax payers are dissatisfied and have
plainly shown their disapprobation of
the councils course.
An election was called to ill the va
cancy caused by Oliver moving away.
but the citizens refused to attend it.
This state of affairs should not exist,
for il is detrimental to the best inter
ests of our town. This place is entire
~ too small for such differences to oc-
cur yet awhile. An election should be
called and every citizen should see that
to it that good men are elected to I'LL
the vacancies.
The people should see that instead of
steadily contracting debts, even when
the expense of a marshal is not incur
red, that means are devised by which at
least the running expenses of the city
can be betrayed. The debts already
contracted must at some time be paid,
and this should be at once attended TO.
Citizens, you have allowed the council
to sleep long enough since their last pc
riod of activity-if such their unsuc-
cessful experiments in the way prose
cutions of liquor sellers can be called.

Had there been no limit TO the re-
sources of Uncle Sans free range, and
no necessity for stockmen of the plains
purchasing and enclosing their own ter
ritory, the introduction Of good blood
among frontier herds would have been
much less rapid than has been in the
past two or three years. But the same
necessity which has been driving ranch
men into the purchase Of their pastures
is compelling them to elevate the stand
ard Of quality in their herds The need
Of owning land cuts largely into the
profits Of their business, and there is n
general realization of the fact that the
one way to keep up their margins is to
produce something worth more mon
~. Besides, with enclosed lands stock
men have a greatly increased guaran-
~ that they will get the full benefit of
any investment they may make in high
class breeding animals. and are thus
encouraged TO do in safety what would
have been accompanied with n good
deal of risk under the old regime. The
compulsion on the one hand and the en-
enlargement OH the other are thus
working together for great good to the
future of the ranching business. The
past year has been one of wonderful
Improvement in this regard, and the
neat bids fair to leave il far behind in
the matter of introducing good breed
ers. The effect of the change now 90
ing on must crop out quite strongly in
the live stock market year or two
hence.-Breeder's Gazette.

The operative force Of prohibition is
fairly tested in Vermont. 1t has the
most rigid prohibition laws that have
yet been enacted in any state in the I'm
ION. 1t has had these laws for thirty
years, and yet it is stated that more
rum IS sold in that state per capita than
IN any other state, and now the dis
patches inform us that the authorities
OF burlington are making one of their
periodical raids against saloons, hotels.
restaurants and even private houses for
violation of the law. Vermont should
be the ProhibitiOnist's paradise. but is
itr The statistics show that the law
has not only not abolished the rum traf-
ne, but 1t has not lessened il i'm any ap-
probable degree. In 1881 there were
lO9 places where liquor was openly sold.
and where, of course, there should have
been none. In 1882 there were 4oe. and
IN lSS' there are 4i6, or one To every
40 OF the population, and this makes
no account of the hotels, clubs and
places where liquor can be had. The
thirty years record of prohibition in
vermont only confirms the experience
Of this fanatical remedy wherever it has
been tried. AS their laws now standI il
Is u farce, or, worse than this, it is a
positive evil. as it tends to swell the
volume of intemperance.
