The whisky people in and out of the

as if 10 engrafG it in the law would be,
SOMEHOW, q triumph for liquor. In this
State there can be no such thiEg as

1t existed In Kansas once, and the peo-
pie said once, by the adoption Of con
stitutional amendment and have re-
pcated it four or five times since, that
they want no more of it. ''LOcal OPP
toni talk in this State is wasted wind.
-AtchinsOn
Champion.
There is much truth in the above ex-
tract. There can be no local option in
this State under our existing laws. And
how beautifully this applies to the
Dodge City case. a community COM
posed largely Of bummers, gamblers,
prostitutes and other slums, declare
that public sentiment is against the en-
forcement Of the law in their town, and
that they have q right 10 insist upon
their ''Iocal option" An attempt is
made to exercise the right of free speech
in their town, and the town proceeds
to use their "local option to maltreat
and. bulldoze the speakers. The great
State of Kansas sends one of its execu-
tive officers to this Sodom for the pur-
pose Of enforcing its laws. ''i.ocal
option" Immediately compels him to
leave the city in order to save his per-
son from violence. And still the great
State, through its chief executive, fails
to use the powers of the State to force
obedience. We agree with the Cham
pion in the above extract where II says,
Sin this State there can be no such
thing as legal and constitutional local
option" You might as well say that a
community of Mormons could have the
'Iocal option to practice polygamy in a
town in Kansas, providing they had the
majority, as to say that the prohibitory
law cannot be enforced where public
sentiment is against it.
When ''local option persists in open
ly violating the laws in Dodge City or
any other place in this State, the gov
ernor should knock that ''IocaI option"
idea into a cooked hat, if he has to call
out the militia to do it with

A wholesale beer man in this town
reluctantly admits that prohibition is
beginning to prohibit to an uncomfort-
able extent. By looking over his books
he finds that during the month of Sept.
preceding the passage of the prohibi-
tory law his shipments to the country
exceeded three hundred, while during
the month of Sept. just past his ship
ments were only seventeen. He says
that a man in the country dare not take
a case OF beer in the house for fear of
being bOycOtted or society osracised.
He further says that the home cOnsump-
ton is falling off; that four years ago
his delivery wagon was kept cOntinu-
ally on the jump but that now it stands
idle half the time. The prOhibitiOnists
are welcome to this grain Of comfort, -
AtchisOn Globe.
The Globe, from which the above
item is taken, is. bitterly opposed to the
present prohibitory law, and such a
concession, coming from. a town ike
Atchison, is a good indication of the
salutary qualities of the law.
