The supreme court of Iowa holds that
the possession of a.government license to
sell Intoxicating liquor is prima facie
evidence of intention to violate the pro-
hibitory law unless the holder is regis
tered pharmacist. As an exparte propo-
Bition that sounds plausible enough. but
until the offender commits the overt act
of selling, trial court would have a
lonesome time of it getting a conviction.
As well undertake to convict person
of murder who is caught with deadly
weapons on his person. You cawn't do
it, you know.

The Capital expresses a desire TO know
what the Cherokee outlet is worth per
acre. That portion of it lying contigu-
Gus TO Kansas and east of the Tooth me-
ridian has been rendered quite valuable
by or through the development of Kan
sas; worth probably s. an acre or more,
in toto. That west much less. There
are quarters, and even whole sections. in
the first described portion worth $40 or
even $50 per acre. But the value OF
these lands have been added wholly by
the money and enterprise of Kansans.
The Indians never added cent TO their
value, and if they were to hold the out
let indefinitely under the existing treaty.
it never would be worth any more than
they were at the time they were set
apart as an outlet for the Cherokees,

The State Board of Charities are still
being criticised by the press of the state.
that Is the captious portion of it, for
awarding the contracts for meats for the
year for the institutions they control to
Kansas City parties. The EAGLE repeats
its endorsement of the boards action in
the matter, since the contract was
awarded to the lowest bidder In doing
this they clearly consulted the interest
of the taxpayers Of the state as to the ex-
penditure of the states funds, and at
the same time patronized the states
largest patron for live stock at present.
IN addition to these considerations the
saving to the state thus effected Is some
thing Of compensation for the low prices
paid by the packers at that place for
Kansas cattle and hogs.

The Old Story Retold.


From; the Medicine Lodge Index.
Last summer number of citizens oil
this place were induced to become stock
holders III the American Building and
Loan association, OF Minneapolis, MINI.
a local board was organized and the
members had each paid about $4S into
the general treasury. One member,
Jake Knirr, had applied for loan and
had advanced the fees, IS. The news
now is that the association must wind
up its affairs, it being practically j
''busted community" The public exam
aminer, Mr.. Kenyon. of Minnesota, says
the association has liabilities over assets
amounting 10 $74,7lS.2s, though 1t has
collected from shareholders all the ex-
penses of agents, commissions and other
incIdentals. estimated at $266. 900. The
officers of the association have invested
$500. 600 contrary TO law IN insurance
company stock, and it has taken second
mortgages on real estate.

own responsibility. 1t is very safe to
say that if there really are any real suf-
ferers in any county in Kansas they can
have their wants supplied in Kansas,
and the state considers it an affront at
the present time for any one to go out
side of the state for means 10 relieve any
one who may be destitute. Kansas has
more grain and stock than she can dis
pose of, and those who have plenty are
ready and willing to relieve all distress
in the state, and they are amply able TO
do so.

than o2e-tenth that amount. Where is
the balance: While we are waiting for
an answer, and are also waiting for con-
greSs to pass the needed measures for

TO pass 4 concurrent resolution directing

the minimum of s., 0o0. 000 as has been
his practice under the discretionary
clause of the present coinage act: The
exercise of this discretion by the secre-
tary is in part the cause of the present
monetary stringency, and it is clear that
