PRoHlBITioNIN KANSAS.

There is little doubt but what prohibi
ton will be resubmitted to the people of
Kansas, and there is still less doubt but
what prohibition will be defeated if the
people get chance to again vote on it.
There is more liquor sold in Kansas to-
day, as there was before the prOhibitOry
law went into effect. The people now
have their eyes open, and when it comes
to repeating that obnoxious law, will vote
it ont by as large majority as Pennsyl-
vania did.
In an interview with Editor Williams,
of the Olathe Democrat on the PrOhibi-
ton question in Kansas, he expressed his
views of all sensible thinking men on that
question. in the state. We give below
what he says
The returns from Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island, he said, ''are SO recent that
sentiment among Kansas over the crush
ing defeat of prohibition there has not
had time to crystaliZe. | don't know
whether the republicans will be able to
fool the prohibitionists few more times
or not. Perhaps they will. There are
no issues just now to develope anything
in Kansas. Financially everybody knows
prohibition has hurt Kansas Morally
well, that is fine question. There may
be an effort made at the next general
state election to repeal the prohibitory
law The proposition for prohibition
was entirely experimental; there were no
precedents and nothing like the full
vote was cast on either side. If submit
ted now every voter would cast his bal
lot intelligently and with open eyes. A
great many of the farmers are not little
depressed and are studying the condition
of affairs thoroughly. They are raising
a good deal of produce and getting small
prices for it and they don't feel COM
Portable. Many are running behind.
They know there is cause for this and
they are reading and studying to find out
what it is. The position take is that
many commodities are carrying too much
tarif-are too highly protected. If the
farmers come 10 see this there will be a
change at the next election 1t will be
many long moon before there is another
result for the republicans like last years
The results of the present administration
SO far have not been such as to warrant
keeping up of that kind of majority"

after the business was throughly started
that the company would purchase from
500. 90 to S150 90 worth of milk daily, all
of said money being paid in cash to our
farmers. This undoubtedly will be a
splendid thing for Dodge and at the same
