KANSAS METROOISTS.

on Temperance-The Bishops Appoint
ments.
AT the late meeting of the Kansas Con-
ference Of the Meth Odist Episcopal Church,
held at Topeka, the chairman of the Com
mite on Temperance presented his report
recltlng that the cause of temperance is
making such rapid advancement that each
succeeding year presents some new phase
OF the movement, which calls for read
!ustment of the lines of conflict and invit-
ing TO the adoption OF new methods of war
fare. That which has been accomplished
for Kansas must be done for the Nation.
The battle fought and won within the State
must now be transferred 10 broader held.
With unmistakab.e emphasis the churches
must declare that Prohibition is the para
mount political question before the Ameri-
can people. All other issues are dwaried
when compared with this. To this end
temperance sentiment should be coucen-
trated upon Congress to enact laws pro-
hlbltlng the sale of liquor in the District of
Columbia, upon the military reservations,
IN the Territories and wherever the United
States exercises sole authority; that the
sale of liquors shall be subject TO the laws
of the State in which the liquors are to be
consumed, and that liquors shall not be
transported to Prohibition States except
under such limitations as may be pre-
scribed by the Prohibitory laws there in
force, and the early SUBMISSION of an
amendment TO the Constitution of
the United States prohibiting the
importation or sale of Intoxicating
liquors except for medicinal, mechanical or
Scientific purposes. The report closed with
resolut on to keep the subject before the
people until the Nation shall be free from
the domination of the rum oligarchy.
A new district was created to be known
as the Marysville district, with Rev. James
Lawrence presiding elder.
