guilty of causing a misunderstanding

GIVE US A REST.

There are several papers in the state
notably the Topeka Commonwealth
the Wichita Eagle and the Troy Chief
that refer to our law makers as 8
"fool legislature" simply because they
amended the prohibitory law so as Ia
bear down more heavily upon the sa.
looms and make il less difficult of en-
forcement.- Russell Record.
II is not surprising that "fool legis-
lation" should meet with appreciation
from fools. As for the rest of the
criticism, we have only TO observe,
and everybody here knows it, that the
EAGLE made the fight on the prohibit
ton platform, with ST. Johns cry of
"tEe home against The saloon" nailed
10 its masthead, and il was no half
hearted fight either, but honest and
earnest. and what was the result? We
got most beautifully left. That was
not last year nor last month, but yes
terday. If the fool editor above don't
know what that meaus he'd better
turn his attention to something else
than editing a newspaper. And the
defeat did not come because our party
was in the minority, but because of
the insincerity, the selfishness and
ofmen high in authority
in the prohibition counsels of Wichita.

either the argument or in the bottle.
Yesterday the Republican organiza-
tions of this city were made 10 feel
the potent influence of whisky in both
and fully as strongly in the bottle as
in the argument. This is not intended
as wild talk, having its inspiration in
disappointment, nor yet any reflection
on the men who saw proper TO take
advantage of a popular prejudice, but
this whisky in the bottle and whisky
in the argument, whisky in the talk
and whisky in the pocket makes more
mugwumps and insures more Demo-
cratic victories in Kansas than all
other influences combined. Probably
very few men could be found among
the opposition this morning who
would claim that this whisky cut any
figure, but il Is unnecessary 10 ask

Pleuro-Pneumonia

KANSAS CRY, April S.-The Journals
Jefferson City special says: About forty
stockmen, representing seven counties in the
state, held conference TODAY with Gov.
Marmaduke and DIR. Coleman, United States
commissioner of agriculture, regarding the
treatment of pleuro-pneumonia, now exist
ing in Galloway county. The cattlemen
were unanimously in favor Of calling a
special session of the legislature. The gov
ernor however has not yet decided to do so
feeling that it is best to avoid that ex
pense and delay if sufficient funds
can be raised bv subscription,
to secure the extirpstion of the disease.
The matter will be decided tomorrow.
DIR. Trumbower, inspector for the national
bureau of animal industry, reported the re-
suit of his Investigations, stating that one
hundred animals had died in Galloway
county, TO which the disease had been con-
fined, and 1000 had been exposed to the
disease 1t was argued by stockmen that
the only safety would be in killing the ex-
posed animals and this would require fund
CT $4,000, also that there was no law re-
curing the owner to allow his cattle to
be killed. That the state had
brought the disease, the outbreak
being upon its farm and there
fore the matter should be remedied
through the action of special legislative
session. Gov. Marmaduke thought fund
of S35, 700 would be sufficient, and that this
could be raised by subscription. While he
could not promise that the legislature at its
next session would vote to reimburse sub
scribers to such fund yet he would recon-
mend it 10 that body. Furthermore, it
would be necessary to give thirty days no.
tice in calling a session, while active meas
ures shonld be taken at once. 1t was sug-
eested that an inspector be stationed at
Kansas City to inspect cattle shipped from
the state destined for western ranges. and
that such other action be taken as might es-
tablish confidence and protect the sale of
Missouri cattle outside of the state.
