We believe that it is generally known,
among his friends at least. that he is
either an agnosticr or free thinker.
What of it?-Lawrence Tribune.
OBSERVE that the states which have
reaped the greatest benefit from the
tariff are the states which manifested
the most marked contempt for pro-
hibition: Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania, for example. Per contra, the
states which have derived no benefit
from the tariff-as they have no man
ufactureS to be protected-are those
which manifest the greatest admira-
ton for prohibition; Kansas and Iowa
for example. Ergo, protection and the
saloon mutually aid each other.
A RATHER strong protest from the
Lawrence Tribune:
The Kansas City Gazette says that
The prohibitory law of Kansas is as
we'll enforced as any other law" This
must have been slip of the pen on the
part of the writer. There is probably
not man in Kansas but knows better
than that, and if the statement
was made Intentionally it is certainly a
very rash one. The prohibitory law is
broken more times than all other GRIM
inal laws in the state together. We
believe in the strictest enforcement of
the law, but because we want it en-
forced we cannot close our eyes and de-
| clare that it is enforced as well as any
other law" Why not be honest in
this matter and tell the truth about it
the same as of other things?
| DIR. MUNHALL, the eloquent and
popular evangelist who has been giving
Atchison people such shaking up for
a few weeks back, was in his young
days a blacksmith's apprentice, and
made his living by striking iron. He
read medicine the latter part of his
apprenticeship, working days to pay
his way. The war came on and he
went in. He saw SO much of suffering
in the army, that he abandoned the
idea of becoming physician, and be
came a dentist instead. He practiced
dentistry seven years, and when he
gave it up to become an evangelist he
was making 81 200 Il year. In the first
year of his career as an evangelist he
made s1O6.1O.
SAYS the Topeka Capital yesterday,
descanting on the influence that the
success of prohibition in Kansas would
have on the election in Pennsylvania
1.-THE truth as to the enforcement o.
prohibition, the falling off in crime
the popular fidelity to the principle
the material and economical benefits
from the destruction of the liquo
traffic, has been set before the peopl
of the eastern states by men who's
word cannot be questioned" Indeed
Well, they don't seem to have stoppet
to question" the truth as set be
fore them by our Kansas and othe
prohibition orators imported TO
that purpose. They paid no attention
to them whatever, but went on sawin,
wood and quietly preparing for /
| Waterloo.
A SENSATIONAL story comes from
: Clearwater, Kansas, that puts a ney
? face on the alleged attempt at suicid
} of j. A. NewcOme, at that place Ma
: 90. MIR. Newcome has so far recovere
t as to be able to tell far different stor
? from that given out by his friend
Banker Tillinghast. He says that b
S never thought of committing suicide
y and that he was shot by some one Will
|. sitting in the bank. Instead of bein
q in financial straits as Tillinghast a
,, legged, Newcome says that TillinghaE
= now holds $4,000 worth of propert
It which ELECTROMAGNETIC transferre
is to him by deed of trust. He ha
+. frequently asked for restitution, but
n vain. Finally, he says, Tillingha!
,s invited him to call on him at his banl
p which he did, and while there he wa
,e shot. Tillinghast persists in the faC
4 of this story, that it was an attempt {
n suicide. The Knights Templar,
Of which organization Newcome is
# member, have taken his case in han,
and will probe it to the bottom.
O. looks rather blue for Tillinghast.
