IMPORTANT 10 ADVERTIsERs.

The ADVOCATE now has the largest
circulation Of any paper in the state
Of Kansas and you will do we'll 10
consider this fact II you wish to reach
the greatest number Of readers at the
smallest expense. Our subscription
list and postage bills are open for in
gpection. We challenge comparison.
The advocate., 1890-11-26

The Kansas City Times still insists
chat the preliminary article of THE
ADVOCATE on the subject Of prohibi-
tion committed us to the policy of re-
submission. Will the Times please
quote from The ADVOCATE the Ian
guage that commits us to this heresy9
The Times says:
Whatever Dr. McIallin really means, he is re-
lteratlng what the Times has been telling Che
people OF Kansas since 1880. There Is certainly
nothing IN DR.. McLallln's style Of prohibition to
which the Times takes exception. lie may call
lt prohibition but the Times knows chat IL is re-
submission.
We are glad to number the Times
among our first converts, though we
hardly expected such prompt results
from our initial effort. If the Times
accepts our style Of prohibition we
shall feel amply reOOmpensed for our
labor, and we hope TO see Kansas re-
lieved from further agitation of the
question OF resubmission.
The advocate., 1890-11-26
sPMCIAL OLUR HIRI.

j. b. FRENCH secretary Of the State
Alliance, will move from Hutchinson
to Topeka about the first of DeCem-
ber. This will be Of much advantage
both to Brother French and to the
State Alliance. Topeka has business
facilities not possessed by any other
city in the state, and the increasing
Importance Of the alliance movement
demands that the headquarters be
centrally located and possess every
advantage that the state can afford.

A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE QUESTION ON
PROHIBITION.
NO, Ill

. ~ KANEFH'fA AAA "AAp "a VAgA0 W gVAl'
slider some Of the questions relating
to the prohibitory Legislation of Kan
sas. The subject is too broad to ad-
NIT Of an exhaustive discussion in a
single article, and this will not be
attempted A few only of the ques-
tions involved will be considered at
this time.
We have observed in former articles
that there has been a rapid growth Of
the sentiment in favor Of resubmis-
sion in the past few years. We have
stated that this was not found simply
among the buns and would-be saloon
keepers, but that it is found among
our best citizens and most responsible
and respectable business men. We
donot wish to be misunderstood in this
statement There seems to be dis
position to misinterpret our language
in these articles, and we will therefore
be explicit. We do not say that aH
OF the respectable and aU Of the hon.
est and conscientious people of the
state favor resubmission; but that not
all who do favor resubmission are OF
the opposite class. No person who
undertakes TO treat this subject with
any degree Of fairness or with any
regard for truth can ignore this fact.
We desire if possible to arrive at a
just conclusion as to what the best
interests Of our people demand IN re-
spect to this question, and in order TO
do this we must recognize the condi-
tions as they are. by far the strong
est support which the cause Of resub-
mission receives comes from men who |
favor other forms of legal restraint |
Of the liquor traffic, and from men
who have no sympathy with the bum
element OF the state. 1t is this
class that we would now address.
We frequently hear the argument
advanced that the depression OF trade
and the general hard times are attrib-
utable to our prohibitOry legislation.
We might controvert this opinion by
a single fact that would seem a suffi-
cient refutation. Prohibition under
republican management has simply
been an issue upon which to manu-
faCture political capital and maintain
political supremacy. While we would
not deny that in certain localities
where public sentiment has over
whelmingly demanded il, there has
been a show of enforcing the law,
this has been in consequence Of the
popular demand and not in pursuit
Of a fixed policy Of the party in power.
In nearly every place where any pre-
