Mistaken.

The Wichita Eagle, which is given
The honor Of being the leading Repub-
iican paper in Kansas, announces its
willingness to resubmission of the
prohibitory amendment to vote of
the people at the general election in
November. If the Clipper mistakes
not this is an issue TO try to defeat the
Prohibition party. The Clipper thinks
the present prohibitory law is all
right, if it was put ia force, but men
will sit around and see the law vio-
lated aud wont say word. What we
want is 10 elect men to Office that will
enforce the law to the letter. rgonia
Clipper.
The EAGLE is not trying to defeat
the Prohibition party or the prohibi-
tory law, but irving to save the Re-
publican party from the clutches of
rank copperhoad, who demands pro-
hibition for his old COW but denies it
for your son, who demands the "per-
sonal liberty" for his next door
neighbor TO deal out distilled death to
humanity, but denies that neighbor
the personal liberty" of owning, buy
ing or selling any animal suspected
even of disease. Law in this fair land
of liberty is the essence of the will of
the majority, the crystalized, exact
and sufficient evidence of the power
Of that majority, and the EAGLE has
always and will, bow the willingcst
kind of obedience to that power. But
there are those, and they are multi
tude. and are Republicans in all things
---unless you call prohibition Republic
caEism,- --who honestly believe that a
majority of the people, as evidenced
by the election of Click, are against
this law. Now the only way opened
for Us, under our constitution and laws
for the settlement of these conflicting
notions, is thought the ballot box.
The ballot box was all that the EAGLE
demanded. and the ballot box in this
instance is simply resubmission.

Hon. j. p. Dolliver, young man of
rs, was elected temporary chairman of
the Iowa State Republican convention
and with only few minutes for pre-
paration, made very effective speech
from which we extract a few para
graphs:
Your conventions have always been
deliberative, your nominations repre-
sentative, your campaigns popular,
and your ballot-boxes too full for ut
terance of straight Republican tickets.
Consequently, q Democrat has not
been seen ON ;he streets of Iowa City
after 9 O'Clock on election night for
quarter of a century. The mu sic at
the telegraph Office has been their
annu al eIegy of grief. They look up
on bulletin board as an enemy of

half of Franklin's maxim, "carly to

thank God that we belong to a
party that saves the crowns of its pub

party nominations are made not so
much to represent the party as to dis
guise it.
You might as well try to fit the
hundred-headed dog of the ancient
fable, with a straw hat as TO place a
candid and intelligent tariff platform
under the feet Of the Democratic
party. They approach that question,
as nearly every other, like man
emptying hard-coal ashes in high
wind, with their eyes shut and their
backs to the subject.
Now and then yon find Republi-
can who enjoys the momentary I'M
portance that belongs to the kicker

celebrity nowadays is to advertise

The First Duty of Every Citizen.


SUNNY DALE, Kas., Aug. %.
ToAe Editor Of tic Daily EAGLE:
Through the newspapers ii appears
that certain Republicans are deserving
their party and going over to the
Democracy, giving AS reason that the
Republican party has declared itself
for prohibition. Such an action on
the part OF any Republican, appears.
TO my mind, TO be the height of ipcon-
sistency. To begin with, the Republic
can party has not declared itself in
favor of prohibition; il has simply de-
clared in favor of abiding By and
properly administering all laws legally
enacted. which is the first duty of
every citizen of whatever party,
and amy party which ranges
itself upon the opposite side
is a dangerous enemy TO good govern
mcnt TO openly defy and tramplc
upon and attempt TO annul any part
of the law and its constitution, il not
treason is too near il. The proper
and only legitimate remedy against
any obnoxious law is 10 have il re-
pealed. Ii the prohibitory amend
mcnt is repugnant to any citizen il is
his privilege to ask lis repeal. If he is
n Republican he need not leave his
party 10 do this, as the Republican
party isas willing to aid in the repeal
of unjust laws as any other party
The way open now for those who
wish repeal of the prohibitory
amendment is To make a united de-
mand 10 have il resubmitted TO the
votes of the people. Ii this is done
the question will be speedily
settled by ballot. That the
question viii eventually be re-
submitted is rs certain as doom.
But when the vote will be had will de-
pend entirely on the course persued
by those desiring il. To fly from one
party to another. instead of facilita-

delay and add also TO the present dis

Putting Stubble Land TO Use.

II is getting to be the prac ice of some
farmers to SOW their stubble fields, after
the crop is removed. with some strong
growing plant for protecting and other
wise beneiitng the land; and the prac-
tice, where properly carried out, never
fails of success Besides looseninp up
the ground and keeping it shaded dur
ing the hot dry weather which usually
follows, and which is hurtful to land
exposed, it is a check upon weeds and
furnishes the soil with humus and plant
food. 1t is, in fact, form of green
manuring that does not interfere with
regular cropping. Not only is no crop
lost, but the land is improved; il is
richer and more mellow. with less
chance for weeds if the seed sown is
clean, the improvement considerably
surprising the expense OF the outlay;
less manure needs now TO be used and
less work employed on the land
Where the soil is not too hard the
harrow. weighted. will be sufficient to
lit the ground for sowing. A rain, pene-
trating sevcral inches, will greatly favor
this. Where the ground is too hard for
the harrow, the cultivator will do the
work, which, however, should be fin
lshed by the harrow. 1t is only where
the land is quite hard or overrun with
weeds that the pillow is to be used. The
sooner this work can be done after tho
land is cleared of its crop the better, as
1t gives longer time for growth.

this purpose are buckwheat and the
