SUMNER ITEMS.

Once again Independence Day
found a cheerful gathering around
the starry banner. Although less
people were present than last year a
real good sociable time was enjoyed.
Owing to a rush of work rather than
a lack of patriotism no preparations
had been made, but for an impromptu
entertainment everything passed off
very well. Several innovations on
our simple style of celebrating were
attempted, but, as Noble Prentis says,
there was something in the Kansas
air that forbade it. As usual there
was an abundance of excellent edIbIes
and each one must have had enough
and some to spare to please his ap-

menu had not been as carefully pre-

dessert we were served with recita-

Ellie Ciugh of Bloomington. Both
delivered contest pieces for Demon

applauded. Miss Ellie's Not dead,

About Creamery Business.

For some time several of our citi-
zens have been discussing the propo-
sitiOn to start a Creamery at or near
Phillipsburg. That all the informa-
ton attainable might be had on the
subject Frank Strain began a cores
pOndence. He has found that the
more modern and apparently the best
Creamgries need not cost over about
SD, 900. It seems that a new process
of making butter has been discovered.
An Extractor" is used instead of the
Separator as in the old method. In
the old method the cream and blue
milk had to be separated and the
cream then churn6d. In the new
method the milk either sweet or sour
IS put into the extractor and IN a few
| seconds the butter comes out in one
| place and the milk in another. There
/ is no ChurnIng done. 1t IS claimed
that this new invention will reVOIu-
! tiOnize the butter making business.
| When sweet milk goes into the EX-
| tractor it comes out sweet after the
| butter has been extracted and is read
/ lly sold at ten cents per gallon. One
| is IN successful operation at Leaven-
worth, Kansas and is giving the high
! est satisfaction. The following letter
in regard to it will explain itself:

Judge Bertram on Prohibition.
From the Long Island Inter-Ocean.
Mr. A Hardy. Of Beatrice. Neb., /
recently wrote Judge Bertram in
curing regarding the Enforcement OF
the prohibitOry law In this state. The
Judge replied as follows:
''The average prohibltionists are
hOrrOr-stricken whenever true state
ment IS made as to the enforcement
of the law. They expect everyone to
falsify the facts for the good Of the
cause. They openly talk it and say
we know the law is not enforced, but
if that is known it will have a bad eff
feet upon future elections where the
question Is pending. The facts are
that except in mere villages-ln local
tiles where no liquor would be sold
no matter what license law was in
force, prohibition is nowhere enfOrc-
ed. Not only this, but probably 1t IS
a very low average to say that at least
fifty cases of perjury occur IN each
county of Kansas each day, growing
out of the law. 1t is begetting a dis
regard of all law and the taxes are

causes: One, the loss of revenue from
the sale of liquor derived under high
license; second, the expenses incur

The loss Of immigration, the money

uOr and the emigration from the state
IN consequence of the law, Is fast
bringing our people to the conclusion
that not only from a temperance, but
from a business standpoint as we'll,
prohibition IS a failure. l think that
Kansas will very soon, as soon as it
can be brought around, adopt high
license law, under which men can buy
liquor without perjury; without COM
hitting a penitentiary Offense.
G.. WEBB BERTRAM.
The above letter is being used in
Nebraska to defeat the proposed Pro
hibitory Amendment, and it was
doubtless written with the intent to
be so used. We have heretofore had
so high an opinion of Judge Bertram
as man ard a Judge, that we are al
most shocked to think that he would
go to the trouble to write letters to be
used in helping the saloon business
/ the most Infamous business ever en-
gagged in by man. The HERALD can
not agree with Judge Bertram in the
statements made in the letter quoted.
| The prohibitOry law in Kansas is as
effective as any other law, and is as
well enforced as the law against theft.
perjury, adultery and other crimes.
Because men commit various crimes
prohibited by law, why does not
Judge Bertram advocate the theory
of licensing a few men to murder, tc
steal and to Perpetrate other crimes
on payment of a specified sum o.
money? The argument in favor 0.
such a proposition IS Just as lOgica
as the argument that because thu
Prohibltory law is occasionally VIC
lated, therefore it should be repealed
and few men licensed to infict ir
. reparable injury on society.
We do not question the Judge
honesty IN holding the views he does
but we do feel that he is wrong in hi
reasoning and clear off as to the facts
then we are panied to see a man i
his position assisting, even uninten
! tionly on his part, the whisky Powe

a deeper hold on the people than
