Colonel ID. n. Anthony wants the republicans
Of KansaA 10 pull Governor Humphrey on the
ticket The reason OF this 10 that Governor
| Humphrey pulled Colonel Anthony on Che police
board ~ LeayenWorth. Kdnoas ORv Star.
We give the above as samples of the un-
| oharitableness OF the gentlemen OF the
press The Marion Globe ia a resubmis8iOn
paper and the Kansas City Star 10 a demo
cratic paper. These papers might have been
expected Go tell the truth In this case and 10
look 10 the truth, for tho truth In on their
side, but they do not. The governor re-
moved Anthony from the board, ergo; that
Is Why Anthony kicks. They do not romem-
Der that Anthony had been kicking for
months before tho removal. They do not
remember that more than a month ago An
thOhy began 10 kick about the disgraoeful
state OF affairs he knew TO exist In Atchison,
where saloons have been run openly with
tho full knowledge OF the governor. On
| August 10, 1889, the Times, In closing an ar
tiClo upon the hagrant violations OF the law
In AtchiBon, said'
VIII the press Of the stats keep quiet and per
NIT this thing 10 20 on without prOtest2 Why
was LeRYenWOrth condemned three years ago
and AtchiaOn permitted 20 escape nOW2 Let the
| papers Of the state speak ont now as they did
| then and demand that officers be placed In power
| there who will enforce the law.
Those protests we have kept up from time
TO time ever since. The petty Office OF pO-
lice commissioner never influenced uB 20
keep silent with regard TO the governors
hypocrisy and never could. The OskalOOsa
Independent said In its last issue:
For months past d. r. Anthony has been pre-
pairing the way Tor vicious hight upon Governor
Humphrey
When 10 is remembered that the Indopen-
dent ia n willing, though insignificant tool
OF the Topeka ring, the above can be prop
erly interpreted, and IL shows chat we have
been making the hght right along.
The hardest kick we have made against
the governor was made before the change In
the police board On last Sunday morning
we exposed Bill Higgins trade with the
whisky men In this city aud denounced him
and the governor for doing such dirty work
and took their names from the republican
ticket. Il was that article that caused the
governor TO act and appoint a new board.
His friends claim that the appointments
we're made on Saturday. This 10 not true
They we're determined upon on Sunday
afternoon. Il was the Times that kicked
the governor into action.
Months ago we pointed out that the gov
ernor had appointed men as police commits
aioners In AtohiBon, Kansas City, Kan, and
Wichita, who were running the liquor bust
ness for revenue, We have unhesitatingly
denounced this hypocrisy and have expected
for n long time TO be removed from our OPP
position TO him. These facts are well known
in this CITY.
Now let the organized religionlsts of
the state, OF whatever name and nature,
pause but fora moment TO notice the
stern necessity laid upon "Bill" Higgins
az the governors factotum, TO hurry up
the metropolitan police commission Sp-
polntments on the Lords day, October
t2, 1890. Let them remember that
Charles w. Benning, Of Atchison, A. I,
Allen, of Wichita, and that DR.. T. j.
Weed and Frank O'Donnell, of LeAven-
worth, had been expressly appointed as
police commissioners on their respective
boards by reason Of their opposition 70
prohibition.
And look at the very hrst fruits Of this
new commission at Leavenworth in the
appointment of Fred w. Willard, secre-
tary OF the Leavenworth ResubmiGsion
Club as the new city marshal to enforce
prohibition.
Let the man, woman or child who has
but the ghost Of a regard for prohibition,
mediate upon the following from the
Leavenworth Timles:
''HE sRLIs OUT HIS FRIENDS"
It was shameful act that Governor Hum
phrey was guilty Of when he surrendered the
mlsslOnlsts az ne did when he appointed O'DOn-
nell, Weed and johnson police commissioners
for that city. The fact that they are respectable
men does not mitigate the cOntemptibleness Of
