From our Regular Correspondent.
Miss Mae Hoag of Burdett and Miss
Stella Leonard and Mary .Jehlik, of
Republic county, went home the first
of the week.
Twelve students came in this term.
Two young men from town and two
of our college girls were out riding
Saturday eve. and again Sunday. The
collegeites say that sort of a thing is
getting too thin. We guess so too.
Last Thursday was devoted to ex-
aminations at the college. Students
are not compelled to take any of these
examinations, but so far we have not
heard of any one missing any of them.
The Grerrillas had meetings Jan. Ii
and 20, and adopted constitution and
elected the following officers: Pres.
W. A. Sharp; Vice Pres. E. E. Wright;
Sec'y. Nettie Funk; Tres. w. T. Clark;
Board of Directors, E. E. Wright, Dot
VanAken, Fred Lutschg, j. S. Perry

10 the OkAOCRAT.
We are told by the prohibitionists
that we should not go in partnership
with crime. by licensing saloons, for
the money received therefrom Is vile
and corrupt. The United States has
collected from 60 to so, OOO, 900 dollars
year for the past 25 years from the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants.
These same goody, goody folks never
raised any objections that this money
was not good enough for the crippled
soldier, or the widow and orphan of
the soldier who gave his life for this
country. Now if this money is good
enough for these purposes it is
good enough for all purposes for which
money is used in this country. We
have been told from our youth till now
that "There is no other name given
under heaven or among men whereby
we can be saved from our sins but
the name of Christ" yet these pro-
hibitionists tell us that it takes a
Kansas legislature 10 save us from the
sin of selling and using intoxicants.
If this legislature can save us from one
sin they can from all, and the atone
ment of Christ is made nullity. We
have been taught all our lives, that
mankind are capable of self gonern-
ment, but the prohibitionists tell us you
can't govern your appetites. Then We
can't govern our actions or ourselves in
any other direction; then our theory
of government is false. Please tell US
what good christian prince you would
have rule over us and tell us what we
ought to do.
They tell us farmers, also that we
ought not to desire to sell rye to dis
tillers for fifty cents per bushel, when
we can get twenty-five cents per bushel
from other people. My dear friends
please sermOniZe a little to grocer,
coal, and dry goods men and get them
to believe that it is grand and glorious
christian act to receipt our bills once a
year, and get them to believe that it is
fact that it is better to give than to
receive. Yes my friends, am so glad
that that which enters into a mans
mouth is what defiles him and not that
which proceeds out of his mouth, fol
now the boys can get there with ''cuss
words'' on proper occasions. o bless
such theology! For it slides us through
the last senatorial convention so slick
But the day is not far distant when the
republican party will advertise a CRANE
closing out sale of prohibition traps
consisting in part of:
Two prohibition speeches;
Two anti-prohibition speeches;
Three straddler speeches;
Resolutions in endless varities;
Six hymn books, good as new;
Three barrels of empty beer bottles
Six dozen testaments. good as new
Five decks of cards, well worn;
One box of Sunday school papers;
Three empty whisky kegs;
Twelve Gospel songs.
All of which goes to show that the,
have been in favor of God, moralit,
and progress.

Miss WINS, teacher of our primary
grade school was not able to teach, the
fore part of last week, being at her

are doing some good work and we hope
to see it continue until there is
general uprising in Pawnee Rock.
