''Wes5ward the course OF Empire

stops in Phillips, the best county in the
northwestern part of Kansas, one Of the
best states in the United States, the
best country in the world.
Is not the above true, gentle reader?
Where. On auof Gods green footstool,
would you 90 TO find bluer skies, clear
( CT streams, greener hills and valleys,
more beautiful flowers, a more salu6ri-
Gus climate or more fertile soil, where
it rains ''on the just aud unjust" and
where the fields yield bountifully to the
hand Of the Industrious husbandman.
When we look back upon the past
history of Kansas, and bring to mind
the baptism of blood through which she
passed, how her fair fields were devas-
tated, her homes laid waste, and later
her scourge by drouth and grasshop-
pers, and then turn to ii survey of her
present eminence we feel that her mot
to is an appropriate one, ''To the
stars through difficulties We are all
aware Of the difficulties through which
Kansas passed and now, considering
the high position that Kansas occupies,
we have great cause TO feel proud of
the state where we have cast our lot.
Nor should we be willing to pause in
our onward march Of progression.
There IS work Tor Tor all of US. Every
minister, every politician, every law

and mechanic can find lots to do.
We can raise the reputation of our
state by raising the standard of christi

port our public officers, and cheerfully

exercise that liberty which we cherish
so dearly. have read, somewhere,
the following stanza, which we would
all do well to commit and adopt as our
sentiment:
'2b, Law faiE form of Liberty! Gods light is on
thy brow;
oh, Liberty. thou soul Of Law, Gods very self
art tnou;
Oh! daughter OF the bleeding past! Oh, hops the
prophets saw!
cod gave us Law in Liberty and Liberty in Law"
When we do this, Prohibition viii
prohibit, and all of our laws viii be just
and wise.
