The Pioneer Press handles the pro
hibition question in this wise: "What
they wonld do, if successful beyond all
present possibility, is merely to get Ger.
tain formula of words writted down
among the statues or within the con
stitution Of the State of Minnesota. 1t
has been proved, in half score of states,
BY experience ranging from few years
to the length of generation, that this
formula Is worth no more than the slip OF
paper in prayer wheel; that its single
effect, where it is effective at all, is to
substitute free whiskey for the licensed
and regulated saloon.
Owe have seen that practical expert
ence has devised most excellent plan
for the restriction or elimination of the
evils that now accompany the liquor
traffic. 1t is confessed on all sides that
il all temperance people, the real reform
ers and the prohbi.ionists as well, would
once heartily unite in the effort to secure
the radical enforcement of high license
law, the liquor problem would no longer
be without solution. This is exactly
what the prohibi'ionists does not do.
Gle would rather have illegal selling,
misery and death than wise regulation.
He will consent to such outrage in the
hope thar people will be compelled to
surrender to his dogma. He laborously
organizes parties, frames painfully elabo-
rate platforms, covering all manner of
issues, and conducts campaigns in order
to defeat strict regulation quite as much
as to get Prohibition.

Truly no other state has a better
right to rejoice over her accomplish
lnents and feel more proud over it's
shield and motto thap Kansas. A fter
nearly thirty years of continuous
struggles, through numerous and dis
eouraging difficulties, her place has
been won in that bright constellation
of stars, where her own shines un-
dimmed from the lustre of any of her
more fortunate sisters. No other state
possesses a more glorious record of
development. Twenty-Five years ago
at the date Of her admission into the
Union her population was 107 ,296 In
habitants. To-day it is fully 1850, 900.
Her western lands were unopened,
almost Hnkn0wn. The belt where now
SO much golden grain is reaped was
then called a desert, forbidding and
dreary. See what has been achieved.
LIBERALIZATION of her property twenty
Ave years ago was $31 100000;
now it is $3.50, 100000. In spite of
financial disaters, droutA, grasshoppers
and Indians, the state grew and de-
veloped. From that quagmire of
disasters that happened during 1873
and IA her brave sons pulled her out
and started anew. Their courage was
unparalleled, but their trust has been
ahHndantly rewarded.
Fields with fertility unsurpassed,
the finest climate under the SUMS it
O wonder that the golden grain seems
to grow as by magic? Thousands Of
happy homes now dot the prairies.
They hespeak prosperity, thrift, ease
and comfort All this prosperity has
not been secured at the sacrifice of
intellectual development. School
houses are almost within stones
throw of each other; new colleges are
building in the cities; newspapers are
multiplying and enlarging. New
railroads are daily treading their way
into territory hitherto unreached. In
the twenty-five years of her existence
rs state Kansas has spent for educa-
ton $3O,219,202. No other state can
show a better record. The country is
still improving and will keep on so
doing, because her citizens are men

WILL C. THORNTON ON THE
RUM SELLER.

The law recently enacted. in Iowa
seems to have completely paralyzed
|1iquor dealers of that state. Here
tofore they have had but little difficult
ty in carrying on their business in
communities where the offers of the
law were traitors and perjurers-where
they wilfully neglected the duties they
had by their oaths of Office sworn to
perform. . The time is'about at hand
when loyal citizens will not stand
back and see the laws Of our Union
or our State tr;amp1ed under foot-the
days of nullifcation have past. The
will of the people must, and" will pre-
vail though every whisky seller and
every traitor they get into office sinks
to the bottom of perdition.
The rum sellers have never been
satisfied with making fair living
and sending only a few souls to hell
they seek to control government and
"drivc men to hell'ike Sheep" they.
have taken all society would give
them and demanded more; they sowed
the seeds of Secession in our land, rails
ed the first revolving nand against our
government, were first to offer open
resistance to the laws Of our country
They defed the exaise law of 1891,
passed by an infant congress to raise
mears for the support Of a struggling
government. they Inaltreafed the
revenue collector and robbed him of
his horse; they trampled the flag of
our Union under their feet and insult
ed the Father of Our Country.
They were not prayed nor preached
into loyalty, neither were they over
come by moral suasion; they ac-
knowledged the supremacy of law
and the sovereign power of the people
only when confronted BY 2 vast body
of troops sent out by Washington to
lay in waste their distileries and take
them prisoners Of war,
The rum seller of the present age
is but spropt of the traitorqps old
stump Of the tree Of treason and
secession that was cut down by
Washingtan's scathing Eebuke and
the appearance of swords and guns.
Where law seeks to prohibit, he
curses prohibition and advocates
regulation; where law tries to regulate
he fights regulation and wants full
sway, 1n Kansas he defes prohibi-
ton and favors high 1icence; in
Missouri he defes high license and
begs for low license; in Wisconsin he
fights low license and sets pp the
fiendish cry of ''free whisky" The
fact is, he is a chronic defyer of law,
hater of decency and o. curse to
free government.
That his days may soon be num-
bered is the prayer Of every intelligent
reasoner; that they should have been
numbered long, long ago. no sane
man will deny. g.

1t is as much violation Of Jaw in
this state to sell liquor, as it is to steal
horse; morally the crime is greater
He who steals your horse, leaves you
your manhood, your physical power,
your moral sensitiveness, yonr chances
for heaven. He who sells you intoxi-
cants steals from YOU hundreds of
horses robs you of your precious
gifts Of God that the horse-thief
would not condescend to take, and
marches you down to hell through
the snake-wraathed tunnel of delirium
tremins, leaving an entail of despair
and wretchedness to your children. /
am not an advocate Of lynching, but
l can never feel that a horse-thief
has been successfully lynched unless a
rum peddler yields up the ghost
beside him.
