PUBLIC ENTERPRISE.

Wednesday evenings meeting at OPP
era Hall did good, if for no other reason
than that it assisted in setting people to
thinking of the need of inaugurating sew
eral public enterprises whose value the
World has pictured time and again.
These enterprises, aside from railroads,
should, in our Judgment, be started by
associations who have the money to put
into them, and who, at the same time,
wish the community well. The booming
idea should not be figured in these calcu-
lations No artificial values should be
placed upon real estate. The community
which develops slowly, but surely, is the
one in which thoughtful people prefer to
live.
Our taxes are low, but they are high
enough unless their increase is sure to
result in gain. On general principles, we
we are not opposed to voting bonds in
aid of railroads. We want at Wa-Xee-
ney all the railroads which can be Sc
cured. The point in western Kansas
which is made the railroad center will be
the metropolis of this region. This point
should not be forgotten by any friend of
Trego county.

THE STATE TICKET.

OF the Republican state ticket which
was placed in nomination on the 9TH in
slant, the World has nothing but good
words
The men composing the ticket seem to
average to be as good as any other selec-
tons which could have been made.
That neither Mr.. Howe nor Mr.. Nc
Cabe was renominated, argues nothing in
the way of principle. It simply happened
that the anti-third term advocates worked
successfully for the control of the conven-
ton. The day is not far distant when
the defeat of men like Howe and McCabe
for a third term can not be counted on
with certainty.
The negro element in state official cir
cles is shelved, perhaps for very long
period. The World is sorry that they
displayed too little sense to perpetuate
their representation by agreeing among
themselves.
The platform upon which the candi-
dates stand is strong in design and form
of statement. 1t reflects the greatness of
Kansas as among the most progressive OF
American states.

THE SEIZURE CLAUSE.

Resolved, That the present prohibitory
law should be so amended as to provide
for the seizure of the offending element
the Intoxicating iquors-by legal action
similar to proceedings under the revenue
laws of the United States, and such other
legislation as will insure the certain and
complete enforcement of the law.
The above resolution was introduced
by Col Anthony in the late Republican
state convention. 1t was adopted with a
whoop, but an element of the convention
saw too much In it. The matter was then
referred to the committee on resolutions,
and by them strangled to death. Its not
appearing among the resolutions of the
convention has led to tidal wave of
comment by the state press. Colonel
Anthony declares in his Times that Gov
ernor Martin vowed that he would not
accept the nomination on platform with
this resolution as one of the planks.
It seems to the World that Colonel
Anthony's resolution should have been
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1886-07-17

made a part of the platform. The Re
publican party, we all know, has done
much to advance prohibition in Kansas
1t will do more Governor Martin, by
reason Of his nobility of manhood and the
services which he has rendered the Re-
publican party, is entirely worthy OF
being its standard bearer in this cam
paign. The difference between him and
Colonel Anthony as to the best method
of enforcing the prohibitory law seems to
be honorable to both. After all,what great
reform has been accomplished without
the adoption of measures just about as
stern as those advocated by Colonel An
thony in the case of prohibiting the lie
gal sale of LIQUORS?

CONGRESSIONAL,

Up to the hour of going to press last
evening, the World had received no
news indicating that the Republican con-
vention at Stockton had named the con-
gressional nominee. We had arrange
ments for the immediate telegraph ser
vice on the occurrence of the event.
Up to Thursday evening, seventy-seven
ballots had been taken. Hanback's vote
was twenty-three. The fates, we Judge,
were against him. His opposition con-
trolled the organization of the conven-
ton, and he lost the Lincoln county del
egation.

HUMOR IN COVE.

The Cove City Gazette wants its town
to secure the county seat. OF course, the
Gazette wants fairness. In one paragraph
it says:
There is disposition on the part of
some to 'sling mud" and make a personal
affair of this county seat fight. This will
not do. gentlemen. Let the question be
decided on its own merits, and If we diff
fer, let it be as American citizens.
In another paragraph, it tells that
A Graiufeld man started out last week
with a county seat petition, and said he
would drink every time he got sigma
ture. After riding all day and getting
only three signers he said he would quit,
'it was too long between drinks"

IT does get windy up in Sheridan
county, we judge from what the Hoxie
Sentinel remarks in what follows: During
a high wind that prevailed for about a
half hour last Wednesday evening, the
residence of DR.. d. NJ. Freeman, in Sa-
line township, was unroofed, one side of
the building blown in, and otherwise
damaged. The doctors library, medi-
cines and the family wearing apparel
were also destroyed or seriously dam

sheds at Moser Bros lumber yards were
blown down, and a large pane of glass in
the front of Mr.. Geo. Tatum's store was
blown in. The storm was of short dura-

JOHN ROACH, the great ship
builder, was reported, day before yester-
day, to be dying in New York City. He
was suffering from complication of dis
eases, but, adds the dispatch, "the chief
trouble is mental, and he constantly talks
of his broken fortunes" The Cleveland
administration, in other words, has killed
this grand man by refusing to hold the
government to the fulfillment of lis con-
tracts with him. 1t would be impossible
to conceive of more devilish piece of
swindling on the part of private indi-
yidual.

TIMBER CLAIMS!


The state of Kansas has instituted pro-
ceedings against the U. P. railway
company, and protest against the issuing
of patents for the entire railway lands
lying between Fl. Hays and the west line
of the state, for the reason that the line
of road has been changed from the
original location 25 miles.
The undersigned will take applications
for timber, homestead and presumption
claims on any of these unpatented rail-
road lands, and carry them through the
departments and courts. Address,
N. DANIELS, Grinnell, Kas.,
or JOHN A. SIBBALD, Atty,

THOSE who intend to respect the
action of the caucuses to-day should aid
in their management. The rule-or-ruin
policy should be discarded. He who is
not for the Republican party because it
is the Republican party, should find
other and more congenial ranks in which
to train. The Democratic party in this
county have recruiting officers who are
wanting to enlist all disaffected Repub-
licans.
