Mr.. EDITOR Hearing so much
said about the different candidates
for the Office Of sheriff, L viii give
you my opinion as to who is most
entitled to that Office, and that is S.
@. Cummings. Have we got a man in
Phillips county better qualified to
fill that Office than S. @. Cummings?
No we have not Have we got a man
in Phillips county that has served
more paper in the county than S. @.
Cummings has? And he has never
asked for an Office. Have we got a
man IN Phillips county that viii carry
more republican votes, If nominated
than S. @. Cummings? We have not.
The above being the fact then why
not nominate him, and then Phillips
county viii always be proud Of it.

A resolution asking for the i'm
mediate removal of II. A. Yonge, of
the Kirwin land Office, was unani-
mously endorsed by the Downs Ju-
dicial convention. Yonge is a demo
crat, and as the resolution states, has
repeatedly violated the oath of Office
during his occupancy of it. He was
a rank rebel and his continuance in
Office is an outrage in a strong repub-
ican district. It is hoped that the

The following is from the Hoxie
Sentinel, at Mr.. Turner's home:
Hon. E. J. Turner returned home
from Washington, Friday morning
last, and was heartily greeted by his
many warm friends here.
Mr.. Turner has stuck to his post of
duty closer, working hard for the
benefit of his constituents, and has
secured more appointments than all
the other congressman from Kansas.
He has made a record during the
short time he has been in congress,
that he may well feel proud of. He
has looked carefully after the inter
ests Of the Sixth district and has made
an enviable reputation as a friend of
the old soldier and the homesteader.
Many a family has been made happy
through his untiring efforts in secur-
ing pensions.
Mr.. Turner to-day has the conf
dence and good Will of the people Of
his district, and words of praise come
from all quarters. He never forgets
a friend.
MIR. Turner viii be at home most
of the time during the remainder of
the vacation, and viii be glad to meet
any of the people whom he is serving
and give them all information so far
as he is able, that they may desire.

On TI1rE.-The merchant, the bust
ness man, in fact, every man who
lives in the city and has to do with
banks, railroads, and even stores, has
to learn to be on time. Railroads do
not wait for the laggards, stores close
at the appointed time, bank paper
goes to protest unless paid or extend
ed when due. The farmer finds it
difficult to be on time, because of
roads and of weather, and finally gets
out of the habit of being on time.
This habit at last gets into the frame
work Of his character and the church
hour of eleven runs on to twelve, the
sale which was to commence at ten
o'clock begins about one, and so on

A late number Of Puck contains a
cartoon on Prohibition. Prohibi-
ton is represented as a hideous-look-
ing, cranky, ragged old man who is
escaping down the street from
crowd of women with brooms in their
hands who seem bent on thrashing
the old man soundly The women
are named Rhode Island, Pennsyl-
vania, New Hampshire, and bear the
names of other states. The picture
is quite funny, but is unfair in the
thought it presents, to say the least.
I am quite free to admit that in the
large cities It would be a very diff
cult thing to enforce the prohibitory
laws. In some places high license
(which is partial prohibition) may be
the better or practical methods until
public sentiment becomes SO enlIght-
ened that prOhibitory laws can be en-
forced, but to cartoon prohibitiOnists
as people to be broomsticked and
laughed at and as fit subjects to have
the dogs set on to, is carrying the
joke little too far. To represent
women as so violently opposed to pro
hibition is a gross libel. Women and
children are the greatest sufferers
from liquor selling and liquor drink
ing, and it is a very rare thing to find
a woman who is opposed to prohibi-
ton and temperance. It is a common
remark of the sa1oOnists here that:
ooh prohibition don't prohibit, and
Kansas and Iowa, states that have
prohibltory laws, are tired Of them
and will soon repeal them" I dis
pute the assertion and claim that
there is no political party in either
Iowa or Kansas which dares to go be-
fore the people on a platform de-
handing the repeal Of those statutes.
Let us remember that the statistics
show that about fve-sixths of all the
murders, wife-beatings, fights, and
other crimes with the proportion of
insanity, idIocy, and poverty, is caus-
ed by liquor drinking; let US remem-
Der that the earth groans because of
this colossal EVIL, and that if not
beaten back and restrained and
fought by earnest men and women
who would see their fellows blessed
and not cursed, this gigantic curse OF
the age, incompetence, would destroy
everything desirable in life, and let us
speak words OF good cheer and not OF
/ discourgg, mont to al workers in the
cause Of tcmpcrancr Tens of thou
s;tnds, OF earnest, phIlanthrophic
brave, good men and women are pro
hibitionists from principle. Even il
their methods for furthering the
temperance work are not the best
and you think your plan of helping
on the cause of temperance IS super
ior to theirs, let them labor in their
own way without derision or impedi-
ment from you. They are prompted
by the highest and best of motives tc
do their fellows good and not harm.
