1HE statistics show. that nine ztJzIlls-
red millions Of dollars are annually
spent for Intoxicating liquors In the
United States alone There is evil
dence also that about tive-sixths Of
all the idiocy, insanity, illitsraey, sur
eide, and murder are caused directly
or indirectly by alcohol Kansas
Iowa and Dakota have passed Pro
hibitory laws against the sale of this
liquid devil that works such havoc
among the people. There is Just as
good reason for the enactment OF
such laws as to pass laws forbidding
theft or murder. The law Is as well
enforced as are those laws, and yet
in the face Of the appalling crimes
committed by rum, We find men In
Kansas cringlng before the saloon
and eowardly saying that 'tthe liquor
question IS a side issue, or they know
Of some ProhibitiOnist who is a hypo-
crite, and some saloon keeper or re-
submissionist who don't get drunk,
therefore in the great contest Of the
saloon against the home, they viii
either be neutral or aid the saloon.
The temperance question IS not a
''side issue. The saloon Is the col
Ossal evil Of the day, and in the great
battle for the home IN Kansas, now
beginning to rage, it is the duty of
every good citizen to fight valiently
against re-submission and the re-es-
tablishing Of the saloon bells in this
fair state.

VIII VIM. Baker be Endorsed by
the Qemocratsq

The leading spirits in the Demo
cratic party are re-sublnissionists OF
the Prohibition question. It is now
claimed that it has leaked out that
VIM. Baker is to be endorsed by the
Democratic Convention at Colby.
September 23d, providing he satisfies
the Democratic leaders that he will
use his influence against Prohibition.
II he does not so satisfy them, then
in that case the Colby Convention
will not endorse him. 1t Is believed
that Mr.. Baker is quite anxious not
to offend the Democrats and wants
them to support him, and that his
answers to the questions of the Pro
hibitiOnists as to where he stands on
that great question, are not satisfac-
tory to the latter. It Will be remem-
bered that the Democrats in their
Phillipsburg District Convention.
adopted a re-submission platform.
hence they cannot consistently en-
dorse an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. The
saloon element in the Democratic
party thinks that Mr. Baker can fay
or re-subnission consistently, as the
Hill City Alliance Convention was
silent as to Prohibition.
Mr.. Baker is evidently in a some
what embarrassing position. He can
not get the Democratic endorsement
unless no gives the leaders the as,
suEance that he is reli0bly on their
side. while on the other hand humid
reds of the temperance voters of all
parties viii refuse to support him,
unless he makes the most emphatic
and unequivooal pledges that he
VIII, in Congress and out of it, use
his voice and vote against the origin.

ward Mr.. Coyington personally and
hopes that ne may find his new oc-

GILPIN'S BRIDGE.

The Great Hyphen the Ex-Governor Pro-
poses to Put Between America and Asia. q
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 19-Ex-Governor
Gilpin, OF Colorado, and party have just
left Victoria, B. c., for Alaska. Gov
ernor Gilpin is now developing the rail
way project for the construction of a
line through America and across Beh-
rings strait into Siberia, thence through
Asia and Europe to the eastern shore of
the Atlantic He says that the trans
continental lines now established and
reaching into Northern Oregon consti,
tute the first American division of the
proposed road. The plateaus and valleys
along the base of the Rocky mountains
offer natural route through Alaska to
Behring strait Bridging the strait, the
line would cross over into Siberia, and
thence running in southwesterly di-
rect1on connect with the lines of rail-
way now under construction to give the
Russian Government an outlet to the
sea at the mouth of the Amoor river.
From this point Of connection south
and west the lines would project
through the Chinese Empire, India,
hAdDAu anu GLIOhOO dCCOoS Gu0
of Suez into the Moroccos and coast
wise around the continent of Africa.
The passage of the Behring strait is
the only apparent obstacle and two OBJ
jections are offered: First, that the strait
is in the Arctic Circle; second, the con-
siderable distance intervening between
the American and Siberian shores.
These objections present no impossible
or very difficult problems The strait
is only 4S miles in width, with the
Diomede islands nearly midway.
Bridges little more than twenty miles
long on either side Of this island would
make the connection. The water has q
shallow, solid bottom, in no place ex-
ceeding depth of forty feet.
The warm current, or the Pacific Gulf
stream, having temperature of 75 de-
grees, passes through Behripg strait
into Behring sea as through the small
mouth of a funnel. Thus the passage
has uniformly mild temperature. All
the year around the strait is always
open and icebergs are unknown. Thus
nature offers her assistance and there
are no mechanical obstacles to the con-
struction of the bridges required.

LEAvENwOBTH, Kan, Aug. 19.-The
result of yesterdays Republican county

the various elements represented. The
trade made by the resubmission-
lists with D. R. Anthony to send

for which he was to fight Governor
Humphrey, was, so far as the resubmis-
sionists are concerned consummated by
his election, though shortly before the
vote was taken and announced An
thongs prospect looked very blue. A
number of the city delegates were Bit
terly opposed to him but he obtained
sufficient assistance from the country
district to make the result sc to 81 in
his favor, ]. ]. Baker of Sherman town
ship being his opponent and afterward
elected as delegate at large to the State
convention.
The resolutions adopted thank Con-
BEOSoIuhu hOTT1l1 1OC IQS oluCleuG S0r-
vices rendered the interests of the city,
praise the administration of BENJAMIN
Harrison, approve the views of James
G. Blaine on reciprocity with other
American nations and finally call for
revision of the States Constitution.
None of the delegates were instructed.

the convention, was nominated as dele

The Propositions Before the Convention
Dealing With the Right of Suffrage.
JACKSON, Miss, Aug. 19.-The sixth
day of the convention opened with a
seeming determination to get down to
business Judge Christman, of Lincoln
County, offered substitute to that Sec
ton OF the Constitution relating to suf-
frage, providing as follows:
Males of sound mind, over the age of
twenty one years, and citizens of the United
states, BY birth or naturalization, who have
never been convicted of any crime made q
felony by the laws of this State and who
have resided In the State two years and in
the county one year, provided they or their
wives own, in fee simple, a homestead, or
one or the other of them Is possessed OF un-
incumbered property, real or personal, of
the value OF $500, listed for taxes and not de-
linquent for taxation.
IL shall be competent for the Legislature
TO make petit larceny, selling liquor with
out license or buying or selling lottery
tickets In this State forfeiture of the right
70 exercise the elective franchise. No
soldier, sailor or marine shall have the
right to vote because stationed here.
BEFORE any rson is allowed to register
he shall make oath, Il have read and COM
prehend the article of the Constitution of
this State which prescrlbes the Qualifca-
tlon OF voters; am not barred by the tests
lt prescribes, but am entitled to the same,
so help me God"
No person shall be eligible to any office o;
profit or trust who Is not a qualified elect
or.
Mr.. Kennedy, of Clay, moved an
amendment to make residence in the
State three years and in the county two
years, with poll tax 81.
MIR. Mayors, of Lafayette, submitted
an ordinance to abolish the convict leas-
ing system after January 1, 1895, or
sooner, If practicable, and on his motion
committee was appointed to consider
all propositions relating to the peniten-
tiary.
The plan of suffrage submitted by
Mr.. Deelard, of Noxubee, was the reap
portioning so as to give the balance of
power to the white counties, also pro-
viding for election by the Legislature of
State officers and the appointment by
the Governor of county and district Of
f1cers.
Mr.. Campbell, of Washington, sub
mitted two plans of suffrage, one the
providing for an additional vote to every
owner of real property to the value of
$1,000, and another giving an additional
vote to all who are related within the
third degree to the owner, male or fe-
male, Of property to the value of $3.50.
Mr.. McLaurin, of Kinds, filed q reso-
luton prohibiting alien ownership of
land.

BEHRING SEA.
Lord SaIisbury's Last Note to Secretau.
Blaine.

SecreGaK
Blaine.
LONDON, Aug. 17.-Lord Salisbury's
latest dispatch to Secretary Blaine, rel
ative to the Behring sea dispute, bears
date of August 2. After quoting from
historical documents the dispatch con-
cludes:
These show that England refused to
admit any part of the Russian claim, as
serted in the ukase of 1921, to marine
Jurisdiction and the exclusive right of
fishing throughout the whole extent Of
that claim, from Behring straits to the
fifty-frst parallel; also, that the conven-
tion of 1925 was regarded by both sides
as renunciation on the part of Russia
OF that claim in its entirety, and that,
though Behring straits was known and
specifically provided for, Behring sea
was not known by that name, but was
regarded as part of the Pacific ocean.
Her Maiesty's Government always
claimed freedom of navigation and fish
ing in Behring sea, outside the limit of
marine league from the coast.
1T is impossible to admit that the
right to fish and catch seals in the high
seas can be held to be abandoned by a
nation from the mere fact that for GER
tain number of years it has not suited
the subjects of that nation to exercise
such right 1t must be remembered
that the existence of British Columbia
as a colony and the development of the
colony's shipping interests are compar-
atively recent
''If the United States Government
continues to differ with Great Britain
as to the legality of the recent captures
her Majesty's Government is ready to
refer the question with the issues de-
pendent thereon to impartial arbitra-
Ainr, y
