LOCAL OPTION PROHIBITION PLAN.

TO the FAVOR or The Tribune.
Sir: The question of the sale Of intoxicating liquors
for drinking purposes is issue of great moment
Private, social and public welfare is concerned Op
portmty for the free voice vote of each citizen
upon IT, separate from every other ISSUE or political
complication, should be afforded. The party prohb-
ttionsts think that in their way they separate the
ISSUE But their way requires The citizen TO forego
his wishes all other questions however important,
for this And in their way, they feel called upon to
antagonize the citizen who will not thus sacrifice other
issues that to him important, present and tangi
BILE, for remote and intangible by such a mode Of
action. They thus offend those whom they desire to
gain and who would be with them on the simpledssue
wisely presented, but who see, as they think, evils
resulting from the effects of such action.
Now, IS there not simpler, and wiser method Of
submitting this issue to the voerl And II so, ought
not all citizens Of all parties be united In effort
to secure 1t?
Consider the following PLAN
Secure the passage Of a law that VIII transfer our
local option issue from desultory town elections to
the general elections, there to como up say trennia
y, the result TO prevail by towns and wards OF cities
for three years from the first day of January next en-
suing. The expression TO be by voting on the prin-
cipe issue, for party, by ballot with Excise"
for caption, containing the words For-Against Pro-
hibition.n the voter to erase the word For or
Against" so to express his view or sentiment !;
the votes to be canvassed and returns of made
as other returns In general elections to County and
State Boards of Canvassers. When tho result In q
town or ward is majority "For Prohibition then
sale therein shall be unlawful and be absolutely pro-
hibited for the period of three years as aforesaid
Whom the combined canvass of tho votes on the CUES
ton in the State shall show a majority to be " For
Prohibition" then for the period Of three years as afoe
said, sale shall be unlawful and absolutely prohibited
throughout the state
The plan might be moro particularly elaborated.
1t would allow the systematic codification OF excise
laws so as to be harmonious, combining all needfl
conditions, restrictions and penalties, now exist
or changing and increasing restrictive features for
greater efficiency Thus, local option opportunity Is
opportunity for prohibition, not only In the smauest
civil division, but in the entire State when majority
of the voters elect. The question removed from
party and will attract from all parties rather than
epe and leave every voter free to act on other issues
as he pleases The invunerable position Is, prohi-
btion by lJoa option where possible severe RESTRICTION
and high tax, where prohibition Impossible, until the
entire state shall be secured. VI. S. II.

The Topeka Insurance Company

j. H. Wroughton, special agent for

president; NJ. a. Brann, vice presi-
dent; VIM. Burford, treasurer; l.
P. BonebraAe, assistant treasurer,
and G. B. Colly secretary, all well
known Topeka gentlemen, the COM
panv certainly has the foundation for
a safe and solid business. 1t is their
aim to make their comprny the lead
ing Kansas institution of the kind, do
ing business exclusively in Kansas.
They carry surplus of 100000, be-
sides having complied in every res
pect to the strict insurance laws of
Kansas. We feel safe in saying that
the company has made a good selec-
ton in engaging Mr.. James W. Clarke
as agent here.

Brutal Wit.

The average reader of all countries
enjoys humor. A story well told in a
light vein, showing the truly funny
side of life, is always enjoyed. The
man who can drive away sorrow and
compel the frown which grinding care
brings TO the human face to give way
to smile, and who can make the
groan and moan give place to a liver
shaking laugh, is public benetactor.
We have humorists who can do
this, but they are few. Many Ct our
so-called wits are coarse, vulgar and
brutal. The genuine humorist is
never vulgar. Too much of the al
legged humor of the present days is
brutal and heartless. The feelings of
individuals are not respected. Mems
frailties, and often their misfortunes-
and not unfrequently their deform.
ities-are made the subject of jest.
Hearts are made to ache, and the
home circle is often in vaded to give
the literary clown an opportunity to
perform.
True humor never carries misery
with it. Instead of making Peep e
unhappy it brings them relief. 1t
makes them think kindlier of their
fellow men. True humor isn't barbed
You can run against or have it. hit
you without fear of having the blood
drawn. The genuine humorlst is IL
blessing. May his tribe Increase. -Er.

put back in Jail. In the after
noon Deputy Sheriff Tate, of Ford
county, came down from Dodge City
and found two horses near Ciafiin,
which had been stolen from a ranch
south of Dodge City. One of the
horses had been sold to Mr.. Dusen-
bury and the other to Anton Kopf-
man. The stolen horses were sold to
the above gentleman by the man who
was confined in Jail here. Last night
Deputy Sheriff Tate left for Dodge
City with his prisoner. Sheriff Will
son has for some time been trying to
find out something about this man,
feeling confident, by the way he act
ed, he was a crook, and succeeded In
finding out where he got the horses
from which he soldnearC lafiin and held
him until Deputy Sheriff Tate came
down and arrested him. His pals
who stole the horse from the Dusen-
bury ranch have not yet been arrested,
but the officers are on their track. Our
officers will take trip out to Clafin
to-day and get one or two more horses
which were sold by the horse thief.
Two of the horses have already been
brought to this city.
