Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1890-10-30

| first, the good of the democratic party
is second and our own financial inter.
ests third in the matter of Importance
We have had no old scores to pay off
no grudges to even up, and no personal
interests to advance other than the
legitimate business that should come
to live and wide awake newspaper.
Our subscribers, regardless of party
affiliations of the past or present, have
been loud in their concentrations of
the position of the DEMOCRAT, and as
the paper has steadily increased in
business and influence it's editor has
70 complaint to make.
And now. as parting word, on the
eve of the ''battle of the ballots,'' we
want to ask the voters of Barton county
to do this:
Study carefully the situation and all
it means both for the present and
future; look at matters dispassionately
and soberly and before you cast your
ballot reflect what the consequences
may be to your county, your state, and
your country.
Consider the platforms of the three
parties now in the field; their demands
and their promises, but not forgetting
the experiences of past years nor the
failures of parties to fulfill their prom
ises made for the purpose of catching
your votes.
Study the question of prohibition and
its effects upon our glorious state. Do
not blindly lay aside this question, for
it is indeed one that touches all people
of Kansas alike. Look at it as it effects
you personally, your friends and neigh
bors. Consider whether or not you are
willing to assist in foisting upon the
people law that has not been and
apparently cannot be enforced as it now
is; a law that has kept thousands of
honest and industrious people from
settling within our borders, and one
that is daily creating perjurers and
ing what it is intended to accomplish
If you are in favor of having the
people of the state give a fair and
decisive expression Of their opinion
through a ballot on the matter, vote
for the candidates on the state resub-
mission ticket.
If you vote for the state resubmis-
sion ticket on the grounds stated
above, you can vote the county demo
cratic ticket for the same reason.
Close not your eyes to all the import
ant issues before you; follow not the
leadership of any man who tells you
you are not capable of judging for
yourselves what is best for you and
your county and state, for if you are
thus blindly led to the polls you may
not expect to be benefited by any
results that may follow.
Look not only at the past and pres
ent, but into the future, and do moi
cast your ballots for men or measures
that will III time betray your trust OF
rob you of your competency.
Vote intelligently and you will vote
right.

Their Efforts Fell Flat.

Devoid of enthusiasm and lacking in
argument is the comment of all but the
One-idead republicans ON the speaking
in the court yard last Saturday. Plumb
ought to have known that he could not
create much enthusiasm nor receive
much attention from an audience COM
posed of the people of a county he was
instrumental in beating out of thou
sands of dollars in the early days. 1t
was when the court house was built
and Plumb was bondsman for the
builder, Sodon, who did not comply
with his contract and through some
technicality Plumb could not be COM
PEELED to make the bonds good. All
the old settlers remember the circum-
stances. Ask A. S. Allen, Dick Tay-
lor, John Cook, Squire Dodge or any
old settler to tell you the circumstances;
we have not room to do so this week.
The speech OF the senator made no
converts to the republican faith, for his
argument was the worst mass of incon
slstencies ever attempted to be showed
down the throats of an intelligent peo-
pie.
AS to jim, the prince" and his
address; it was not an address
but an appeal to the old soldier
for his support just once more. He
charged Jerry Simpson with making
assertions that no man ever heard Jerry
make; resurected that Arkansaw story
about the 'shitepoke" and tried te
palm it off as original in this campaign
Dragged about what a brave an6
princely fellow he, Jim, was, and thai
was all. He may have succeeded il
persuading some weak comrade thai
the war is not yet over and that th'
republican party may yet redeem som,
of its promises to the people; but WI
doubt it. Certainly he disappointed
many men who went there to hea
something on the issues of the day
Plumb stated that if Jim went to con
gress ''he would always be found work
ing with the republicans in that body.
but when Jim spoke he said that ''hi
platform absolved him from going int
caucus,ss and he would not oft. Whic
lied, and which told the truth?

Whatever may be affirmed or den led sue.

admitted that its right to enact an apportion-

are announced is obvious, ample and impera-

In the Christensen liquor license case from
She northern California district the Supreme
Court yesterday made an important decision
reversing the order of the circuit court Chris
Jensen carried on in San Francisco retail
liquor business for several years prior to 1889.
in which year his application for license was
refused by the police commissioners. in whom
discretion was granted by a municipal ordi-
nance. He vas arrested for conducting his
business without license, but obtained writ
OF habeas corpus and was discharged from Gus
tody on the ground that the aforesaid ordi-
nance made Christensen depend upon the
arbitrary will Of others and in that respect de-
MED to him the equal protection of the laws
The decision Of the supreme Court was deliv-
cred by Justice Field who said: by the
general concurrence of opinion of every
civilized and Christian community there are
few sources of crime and misery to society equal
to the dram shop where intoxicating liquors in
small quantities to be drunk at the time are
sold Unfortunately to all parties applying
The statistics of every state show . greater
amount of crime attributable to this than from
any other source. The sale of such liquors in
this way has therefore been at all times con-
sidered the proper subject OF legislative rog-
e-shohs AOA "ebScf tutIE sHle Dy the
glass may be absolutely prohibited 1t is a
question of public expediency and public NOR
alty, and not Of federal laws" The court
speaking still through Justice Field. holds that
there is no inherent right Of a citizen to sell
Intoxicating liquors by retail; it is not q priv
jlege Of a citizen OF the state or OF a citizen of
the United States. The court therefore rules
that the exercise OF the power of prohibition
or regulation by the state is not dependent
upon the fact whether such exercise
may be wise or work injustice to
the parties affected. This is a notable
judgment Of the highest court in at
least two respects: 1t reaffirms the police
power of the state; it establishes the judicial
doctrine that the sale of a harmful product of
industry may be enjOined on the ground of
public injury to ensue from its consumption
As to the latter point il may suffice to say that
the court simply sustains the municipal author
ity Of the state to enact laws interfering with
individual liberty when that liberty is direc ted
70 ends that are productive Of crime. Private
morality. or the question of what a man may
drink or eat, is not involved further than it is
necessarily connected with public morality and
public expediency. The decision of the court,
thus understood, is in the line of intelligent
public sentiment. as well as Of constitutional
precedent
