THE LEAVEw WORRYING

Atchison Champions: We find thai
there has been . great advance in senti
ment in Atchison as to the duty of en-
forcing the prohibitory law. A large
number of the best citizens who have
heretofore been inclined Representative
views are now ready to say "enforce the
law and let the saloons CO." They think
It Is only . matter of time. and that the
sooner Atchlson Obeys the law the soon
er will this contest be settled. The pro.
hiblnonists are told by some'of these men
that they are ready, if need be, not only
70 give their sympathy but also theiI
means to enforce the law. Ae to the ques
ton whether there would be any prose-
cutions for the past Of those who now
quietly close, 1t was answered that there
was no desire to do anything more than
attain the END of the law to cloee the
saloons and keep them closed. the pro-
hibition leaders say they are receiving
much encouragement In their work and
are 1Emer in their purpose than ever to
enforce the law, because they now feel
that they are backed by so many citi-
zens who, year ago, were not in favor
Of the movement. They would prefer
70 have no fight, but If needs be will
carry on g vigorous war.
