A resolution has passed the Penn
sylvsnia Legislature and now awaits
the signature of the governor, to sub
NIT to q vote of the state prohibi-
ton amendment, and if submitted
we predict the amendment will carry,
for the reason that in addition to the
prohibitionists, there are thousands
of drinking men who will vote the
ticket saying if they cannot get liq
uor they will quit drinking, and then
there are in a great state like Penn.
sylvania thousands who will vote for
prohibition believing that if they do
not some member of their family or
relative may turn out to be drunk
ard, and then they would blame
themselves for not voting for prohi-
bitiop. We resided in Kansas when
prohibition was adopted and upon
careful inquiry learned that many
drinking men, and many who them
eei'cs ~eio oPPoeeu " PiohiOAsioA
voted for it, for the reasons given.
Kansas was no more prohibition
state than Pennsylvania is now, and
it is pretty safe to say that problbi-
ton will carry in most states when
submitted to the people, many of the
same men who vote for prohibition
will continue to use liquor and will
have it smuggled to them. and while
they in a measure violate the law,
their conscience they think is clear.
1t is a question whether prohibition
prohibits, and if it would not be bet
ter to control the liquor trade by
high license.

The Lamar Leader the second pa.
per to start in this city now oyer two
years ago, by G. NJ. Maglll, was sold
Tuesday to Mrs. NJ. A. Metcalf
editor and proprietor of the
Lamar Sparks. BY the sale the two
democratic papers of the city are
consolidated and we judge by what
we have heard Of the sale that 1t was
a good trade all around. The Sparks
was the third paper to start in Lamar
and has always been recognized as
an honest clean exponent of its prln-
ciples and whatever measure 1t es-
poused or opposed. Mrs. Metcalf
the editor has displayed tact and
good judgement in the management

Bent County register., 1889-02-02

We understand an attempt has
been made to work what some friends
of the Harrison county bill call q
very cute scheme. Some ten DAYS
ago a rumor was started that the
Santa Fe road would soon extend
their branch from western Kansas
through the north part of Bent coun'
ty. Soon after this map appeared
purporting to show Bent county with
its railroads and the lines made by
the new county bills, This map
shows the Missouri Pacific six miles
south of where 1t is built, and also
shows the Santa Fe extension as To-
GATED by the vivid imagination of the
map maker, some very large stars are
also made to appear along the line of
this new road. Now the Harrison
county men point with pride to this
map and say very conidentIally to
the people on the Missouri Pacific,
esee what dark scheme these VOL
colt and Prowers county advocates
are leading you into" "They will
give you temporary county seat but
next fall this road will be built and
one of these stars on its line will cap
ture the permanent location" Then
they wisely inform their confidential
friends that large bodies of script has
been placed at different points on
this Santa Fe extension by johnson,
Frost & Co., who are WORKING for
Wolcott and Prowers county bills in
the interest of their town schemes.
Now the facts are: First, the
Santa Fe is not going to build the
above named extension, Second,
there has been no script laid or lands
bought on or near this imaginary
railroad by either Mr.. Johnston. Mr..
Frost or anyone operating with Or
for them.
Reduced to visible form the above
is q campaign story invented and
used for the sole purpose of influen-
cling the people of eastern Bent coun-
" for the Harrison county measurs.
