PEOHIBIIION.

The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Times. writing of matters
to he considered by the special session
OF the Legislature. says:
The prohibitory law is another
question which will come up for action
of some kind. There are many opin-
ions prevalent as TO the feasibility Of
amending the present law, both pro and
con. and below is given series of IN
terv;ews with prominent men as to this
question::
The Hon. ID. W. Wilder of the gov
errors Office is of the opinion that the
law should not be touched at this ses-
sion, and is confident that it will not be.
lie spoke from personal knowledge
when he stated that a majority of the
house and two-thirds of the senate were
opposed TO any action whatever on the
question. lie is very close to Governor
Martin and probably speaks for him in
this matter.
Major J. X. Hudson, editor of the
Topeka Capital. did not think the law
should be touched at all. 1t had been
on the statute book but one year and
had hardly had chance for fair trial
as vet. 1t had succeeded in closing the
saloons in many places in Kansas. and
he was in favor Of letting well enough
alone.
The Hon. George Atwood, editor of
the Manhattan Republic, thought the
law would remain unchanged on the
statute book. Ii was practical sue
cess and no good reason could be given
why it should be amended.
Hon. +. p. Baker, editor OF the
Commonwealth, was Of the opinion
that Il strong effort would be made by
the true Simon pure prohibitionists to
so amend the law as to place the sale of
liquor in the hands of licensed agents
of the state. This. he thought, would
be done if such thing were possible.
However, if the forces of the governor
should array themselves against anv
amendments being made to the law. lie
did not think it would he possible to
take any action.
The Hon. Albert Griffin, editor of
the Manhattan Nationalist, and promi-
nent IN temperance cirCl les, thought
that IA powerful influence would be
place the sale of liquor in the hands of
the state agents. He is Disguised with
the present law and thinks it in many
senses a failure, at least for what it was
devised to accomplish. Unless a cow
ardly fence-straddling position is as
sumed by the republican members he is
confident that the law viii be amended
10 make it more effective.
1.-The Rev. Richard Wake of Abilene
thinks that the law should be amended
as MIR. Griffin suggests. The present
law has accomplished great good but it
can be remodeled so that even "a greater
work can be carried out. 1t has closed
the open saloon and made the drug
store more fashionable and decent
place for obtaining liquor.
From the above opinions, all repub-
lican, it can be cleaned that the differ
ence of opinions on this question is so
great that unless an amicable basis of
settlement is reached it will cause
serious breach in the republican party.
1t is fight between the political pro-
hibitioniSts and those who advocate it
from an honest conviction of. duty.
Heretofore the politicians have carried
their points in every particular and il
is safe to predict that they win this
time"

men do likewise, and "the country is
saved - is itnot about time for that
minister and those good men, to wake
up TO the fact that they are being used
by the rum power TO protect itself? Is
il not about time for them to say: I'VE

pledged to do whatever dramsellers
want them to, so that we will not be
defeated. even when victorious.

pEVSLONEBS

Congressman Waue, of Missouri. says
he will introduce "A bill very shortly, TO
grant pensions only to soldiers who are
poor and inc1pacilated from rnng q
living, whether that iucapacity is the
res ult of wounds ar disease contracted
during The war. or accident or disease
contracted since. Mr.. Wade Says man
is not necessarily entitled to n pension
because lc was wounded in battle-but
soldier who loved his country faith
fully is, in his opinion, entitled TO sup
port i'm his poverty or distress.

II IS announced that the loard of di-
rectOrs of the Santa lie railroad com
pany, after several years of compare
tive quiet. has again formerly entered
the field of new railroad construction.
The magnitude OF the work under con
temptation is indicated 10y the fact that
construction department has been
created. and that Mr.. Robinson has
been rendered and has accepted the po-
sition of vice president with the in
crease Of salary which the position COM
mands aud To take charge of the new
department February ]. Mr.. G.. IL.
Smith will at the same time take charge
of the operations of the Santa Fe as
heretofore announced. This is reason
TO believe that the new division of labor
in the general Offices means more than
appears en- the surface. It-certainly
means large additional number of
employees IN this state, new expendi-
lures of money, an increase of pupula-
tiOn and production.
