The True State of Case.

The last issue of the Mcpherson Re-
publican has an article on the success
and failure of prohibition which fits the
case exactly. The reason it assigns for
the recent defeats of that principle is the
fact that the real issue was lost sight of,
and in voting against the fanaticism
which pushed Itself to the front the peo-
pie overlooked the fact that they were
voting against tine true temperance prin-
ciples of which they are in favor. A
firm conservatism always accomplishes
more than frantic fanaticism in tenn
perance, religion or politics.

The Wichita EAGLE allows itself to get
superheated because the Journal states
that the shoe factory at Lawrence was the
only one in the state. 1t seems there is one
at Wichita which had been overlooked.
So many manufacturing enterprises have
been projected at Wichita and failed to
materialize, that it is hard to tell what
they have and what they have not In that
town.-State Journal.
The Wichita EAGLES correction was
as cool as the impudence of your state
ment that $50 many manufacturing en-
terprises have projected in Wichita and
have failed to materialize."

A clerical friend desired us the other
day to write up an editorial on the supe-
riority of American civilization, taking
as a text the wonderful peaceful manner
in which possession was had of Okla
homa. That is all right, but the other
side of the picture, the insane scramble
for a chance piece of land with its
attendant certainties Of hardships, dis
ease and death does not speak SO loudly
of superiority.

If satisfactory arrangements in rela-
ton to the rate of exchange can be
agreed on government contract to the
amount of about e3, 100000 for the con-
struction of about 1000 kilometres OF
railway will be given to an American
syndicate. The rolling stock is to be
mostly of the American patterns, and
therefore likely to be procured in great
part from the United States. This cir
cumstance would seem to invite the at
tention of our car and locomotive
builders

The continued improvement in busl-
ness generally throughout the country
reported by the commercial agencies,
while encouraging, is but the natural
effect Of the unusually fattering crop

interests of the country.

The great brewers combine, mention
of which has been made in the papers
freqently of late, has at last been con-
summated, at least so far as the brew
cries of st. Louis and East st. Louis are
concerned, except the Anheuser-Busch
and w. J. Lemp establishments. The
Globe-Democrat says the capitalization
of the combine represents $15,COO,OOO.
Well, that means that prohibition has
got another powerful enemy to fight,
but it won't hesitate to make the fight.

With commendable grace, the Wich-
ita EAGLE notes-approvingly of course
the paternal care with which the presi-
dent looks after indianapolis in making
appointments. 1t finds that he has taken
from that town his private secretary, his
attorney general, the minister to Italy,
the consul general to London and
United States treasurer. The EAGLE is

every appointment from now to the close

Despite the fact that the q. s. senate
contains more wealthy men than any
similar body on earth, the prevailing
sentiment of this country is averse to
placing extremely wealthy men in Off
cial positions. The possession of large
means is not of itself qualification for
any Office, though if:.honestly acquired it
does not disqualify an otherwise COM
petent person. There are instances re-
corded where the public interests were
saved from serious damage by the liberal
use of private means by an official in the
absence of public funds through the
neglect or carelessness of legislative
bodies in providing for them. The
latest and most notable instance of this
sort was the act of Governor Pillsbury,
of Minnesota, who has given the univer-
sity of that state $150,000. The legisla-
ture refused to respond to the needs of
the institution and he bridged the diff

That there are a good many hungry
people down in Oklahoma there is no
doubt, and while they deserve to be
pitied they are entitled to little sympathy.
Everybody knew there were no settle
ments there and consequently no accom-
modations in either food or lodging until
it could be provided by the new corners.
Not only SO but everyone who went
down there knew that however excellent
the land it would be impossible to get
any sustenance from it until it is cult
waited and crops are produced, and to go
into such country expecting TO stay.
unprovided with food and clothing for
the time being at least, was inexcusable
shortsightedness to say the least. The
settlement of new country Is always
attended with more or less privation to
the settlers, though there is less excuse
for it in the case of Oklahoma than any
ever hitherto mentioned in history. No
body in the territory but is within from
three to twelve hours of plenty. If any
one suffers it IS his own fault.

The lower house of the Michigan legis-
lature Thursday passed beef inspection
bill on the local option principle. The
bill provides that the council of any
town or city may appoint an inspector
and that the sale of beef may be pro-
hibited by ordinance which has not been
inspected within the state within forty
eight hours from the time it was
slaughtered, and certified as healthy.
This gives to localities which desire
dressed beef from Chicago or other
points outside of the state the privilege
of using it. The bill has yet to pass
the senate to become law, and as the
success Of the measure would furnish
the basis of innumerable municipal con-
tests, it is somewhat doubtful whether it
will be endorsed by the upper branch of
the assembly. If it should pass and be-
come law it will not be as objectiona

He Didn't Move Though the Big Engine
Was Coming Toward Hmm
Jersey City appears to be the haven Of
refuge for all persons who are troubled
mental disorders. S arcely a day passes
but one of these unfortunates is not
found roaming the streets. The latest is
John Glynn, aged about ffty-five years,
who was before Justice Stilsing this
morning.
Watchman Patrick Eagan, of the Penn
sylyania Railroad, said that he found
Glynn late last night sitting on q track
in the company's freight yard, while a
big locomotive was rapidly bearing down
upon him. He made no attempt to get
out of the way of the approaching engine
and would probably have been killed a
not Eagan dragged him from the track.
Eagan said that the man acted as
though he was out of his mind. Glynn
told Justice Stilsing that he came from
Deer Lodge City, Mont, and arrived in
Jersey City yesterday. He left his trunk
at a store, the location of which he had
forgotten, and he walked all over looking
for it until he was SO tired he had to sit
down.
He seemed to have no recollection of
having been in the freight yard, and al
though he talked nationally IN some
topics his mind would wander. He will
be held until means for his safety can be
provided.

SWINGS Is Heard From.

The absent Swipes has been heard from.
He disappointed the sporting fraternity
by not appearing in this city on the night
he was to have met Jack Carey. He went
to Waterbury, Conn, with Ed. Melon
aid, the Brooklyn pugilist, and was In
troduced as Tommy Burke, a pupil. A
match was arranged between him and
Jack Bayne. The latter trained, but
when the pair entered the ring. some one
in the audience recognized Swipes. That
settled the match, as Bayne refused to
fight. Swipes is now trying to arrange a
match with Sexton. of Hartford. Some
Of his friends are advising him to return
and make a new match with Carey and
thus regain the confidence of the New
York sports.

Japanese rooms are lighted, not by
glass windows, but by a kind OF

paper diffuses the sunlight about the

proof against rain; in rainy weather,
therefore, the shutters have to be put
up which are used to close the We

and which are the only doors in a

SOME SANDERS are so foolish that
they carry their own reputation.
These are the kind the New York
Times is INDUCING in regarding Sheriff
Davis and some of the other Demo
cratic leaders in this city and
county. 1t is certainly strange to
see a paper. which pretends to
advocate honesty and reforms, back
ing up "Bill" Kern, G. ID. j. Noelke
and Judge" Wankin, and condemn
ing the party which is repairing the
streets, building new schools and re-
ducing the tax rate of Jersey City.
The retrograde progress of any Incl
dent as a matter of news value, as
conditioned by the frequency of its
occurrence, is worthy of study in the
daily newspaper. When the first
slaughters by live wire" took place,
the papers devoted columns of space
with elaborate display" heads to each
event. Now such occurrences get only
brief mention, with ordinary "capn
headlines. Floods and disasters have
become so ''chesnutty" in the last few
months that their news value will not
be re-established for years.
One OF the most curious examples of
this sort of decadence in news value
was the case of the two earthquakes
that visited New York within a few
months of each other, some two or
three years ago. The earlier was
given whole pages of matter for
several days by all the papers. The
second hardly got Is many columns
as the first did pages.
