The Murdoch rebellion languishes.
Has the election knocked the wind out
OF it, or given it the razzle dazzle? We
hope not. Let the boys get up more
steam: things are getting uninteresting.
The tacks have not been pulled out of
the carpet yet in the 'house-cleaning'
buslness.-Emporia News.
The Elk county vote was short this
year. About seven hundred men who
voted last year did not go near the late
election. This will go far toward &C.

The opposition always polls full vote.
but the Republicans are careless on off
years.-Howard Courant.
IF is simply an effort to reopen the
avenues of he'll, swing wide open the
gate and invite the people of Kansas to
go in and be damned. Prohibition has
made liquor drinking a disgrace, and
men who drink go to the back alleys or
in rooms. Is not this better than free
whisky:-Salina Republican.
| We say to the EAGLE that the demand
comes from a class who have kicked and
clawed themselves almost out of breath
TO beat something the majority say they
want. The majority will probably con-
clude that it is cheaper for the few
thousand suckers of Wichita and
Leavenworth to submit.-K. c. Gazette
As the recent Democratic triumph in
Sedgwick county eliminates Wichita as

her obesence and SHES her castor into
the ring with one of the best equipped
and most available men in the south
west. Well see you later.-Pratt County

There are some good men who are in
the resubmission movement, but they
are in very bad company. There isn't
responsibility enough connect with it to
lift it to the point of total depravity.
The resubmission party of Leavenworth
includes all the buns, the joint-keepers
and the dead-beats of the ciIy.-Leaven-
worth Times.
The law cannot be enforced-honest
men and fiends incarnate cannot stop
the sale of the damnable stuff in Kansas,
SO what is the best course to pursue?
The only course is to resubmit the Ques-
ton and get the traffic in the best shape
possible to be handled, and that is with
a local option OF high license law.-Cold-
water Review.
The EAGLE, if it would, could mate
rally help matters. The heart of the
EAGLE is not SO bad, but its courage is
weak in the face of the Kansas City
liquor influences, the dupes of Sedgwick
county and the influences of those who
would be for prohibition were the law
enforced at Wichita and respect for it
compelled.-State Journal.
What Sedgwick county needs is good
big strong dose of enforcement. The
prohibition law to be a success must be
enforced. 1t differs in that respect from
no other law. The newspapers of Wich-
tia howl because the law is not enforced,
and howl when the effort is made by the
state to assist the community in enforce
ment.-State Journal.
The Wichita EAGLE is now out for
resubmission, but it is honest enough to
admit that there is no hope for such
result except by and through the domi-
nant party. But, the ghost of St.
Moses, does Murdoch and his Friday
Bently possess the requisite gall to at
tempt to face that party square about,
and compel it to go back on its long and
strong record as the champion of pro-
hibition? The political thermometer
will have risen to about $500 F. when
these wreckers secure such results

Ingalls, learned thing or two in To-
peka well worth knowing. We know of
many good, strong Republicans here who
gave him the true situation and plain
talk. They did not assure him like Rev.
Bernard Kelley, who thinks he has the
Republican party of Kansas in the hol-
low of his hand, "that all was lovely"
They gave him cold, hard facts to digest.
They told him that if he sided with the
political Revs. against the state and the
states interests, he was beaten, and bad

The Resubmisslonists succeeded in
electing their tickets at Leavenworth
and Wichita. two of the leading cities OF
the state, and in consequence they are
very jubilant. As little the rank and
file of the Republican party of Kansas
may think of it. the question of result
mission is destined to cause it trouble.
1t is question which it must face
squarely at no distant day, and if it be
not careful the result will be a repeti-
ton of that in New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
