LOOK OUT FOR RasUBMIssIoN.

From the Leavenworth Times.
For six years the majority of Leaven-
worth voters have been voting for resub-
mission. There has seemed to be
mighty little encouragement for such
voting. The state has been getting
farther and farther from resubmission
every year. The more the Democrats
stir up the question the bigger grows the
Republican ma jority in the state and the
smaller grows the Democratic represen-
tation IN the legislature, until now the
Democratic members are pointed out as
curiosities and visitors carry opera
glasses in order to discover them, at
every session some law is passed to aid
in the better enforcement of the prohibit
tory law. and when it is passed all the
legislators have an eve on Leavenworth.
But Just the same, each year the Leaven-
worth resubmissionist fOrgets every
other issue, and listens to siren voice of
the Democratic office-seeker as he yells
''Resubmissiou!' There were great in
terests at stake this year The election
of the Republican ticket would undoubt-
eddy have benefited the county greatly.
But the people voted for-resubmission
Well now let them wait and see how
soon they will get resubmission Pre-
adventure it sleep9th or may be it has
gone on a journey. Just stand around
and wait till it comes. In the meantime
the men you voted for will Chuckle in
their sleeves and rake in the big taxes.
They have feeling that the resubmis-
sion cry will be bait for suckers for
many years to come.

Kentucky is pointed at as the great
liquor patron of this Countrywide re-
suit, it must be admitted, of the vol
ume and quality of the goods" manu-
featured, rather than the quantity con-
sumed. For it is fact that under the
operation of the local option laws no
liquors are sold in one-half the counties
of the state. The reason is that the SEN
timent of the people in those counties
calls for the application of the law and
its enforcement. And the law is OBJ

Origin of the Knights OF Pythias.

The State Annual Poultry Exhibit.


The great poultry show will be held in
Wichita December 3, 4, and 6, prox-
imo. OF this event the secretary of the
association, Harry Swift, of Marion,
says:
"All the arrangements have been
made for the largest and grandest dis
play of poultry and pet stock even seen
on exhibition in Kansas, and all we now
lack TO make the venture a complete
success is the cooperation of every
breeder in the state. We desire TO urge
every one who breeds poultry to make
an effort to show at. least one pair, have
the birds scored and find out the defects
and guard against them in the future.
1t will be an advantage TO any breeder.
Mr.. Theo. Hewes, of Trenton, Mo-. has
been employed to Judge the birds, and
you may depend upon it the birds will be
judged and not the owner. He is an old
and reliable breeder himself and knows
good chicken when he sees it. Go and
see what other people are doing to i'm
prove this very important branch of
farm industry. for the wisest will not fail
to find some one who can teach him, or
suggest some idea which will enable him
to teach himself. Come breeders, Kan
sas can beat the world on poultry show
just as easy as she always has done on
everything else, if we only try"
