OUR KIND OF RESOLUTIONS

Inc following resolutions were auop-
ted away last October. but we never
saw them until last Week and they
"feed us where We are SO hungry"that
we print them here in spite Of their
etaleness as an item OF news. After
the doleful. complaining, rebelliods
"platforms" that have been cobbled
together by almost every other organi-
cation that has met any time this
year past, it is like breath from a
garden of roses to read resolutions like
these that are full of the old Kansas
spirit, full offaith in our people. faith
ia our laws, faith in our country.
Read them. They alone ARE worth
more than the price Of years sub
scriptiOn.
WHEREAS. the State convention of
the A. H. L. A, of the State of Kan
sas, now in session iD the city of Nc
Pberson, knowing that its Subordinate
Orders have done great good in this
State, in arresting horse thieves and
other criminals, in aiding the civil
thieves and criminals, In reclaimimieg
stolen property, and in the suppression
Of crimes generally, and believing that
our good work already done and &C.
complished we are entitled to be heard
on certain public questions: therefore
be it.
RESOLVED, That the A. H. T. A, of
Krnsas aims in all things to advance
the welfare of this State in particular
and the great southwest In general.
and believing that the present means
of transportation are inadequate to our
immense productions. therefore we
heartily indorse the action of the deep
water convention lately held at Tope.
ka,aud that We nse everyproper means
TO consummate the plans as proposed
in said convention.
Resolved, That the members of our
fraternity, all law-abiding aud law-en.
forcing mep. upon whose fidelity H.
tegrity to great extent depends that
moral and phys enforcement Of law
and the suppression of crime, should
be clothed by the Legislature with
every legal protection of police officers.
Resolved, That we, as promoters of
peace by upholding the laws of the
State and Nation, are bitterly opposed
to all socialistic anarchy; and while we
invite foreign immigration of class
that will obey the laws and better
their condition under our flag of the
free and in our home of the brave, we
are strongly opposed to opening the
floodgates for fDreign immigration to
the slums of Europe and Asia. and we
would as soon hang an anarchist trying
to destroy our government as we would
horse-thief stealing our horse.
RESOLVED, That we are proud of the
State of Kansas-her churches, free
schools, her railroads, her laws, and
her gospel. We believe her people are
the most aggressive people in the
world. We believe that her broad
acres are the richest and in proportion
TO real value the cheapest, lapds now
in the market; that her atmosphere is
the purest; that the souls and hearts
and minds of her men and women are
the biggest; and that the people of the
State of Kansas are the greatest and
happiest people now inI existence; and
therefore We are not afraid to say to
civilized men everywhere, "If you
want home where you may reason.
ably hope to be happy and prosperous,
healthy and wealthy, aud in which
YOU are willing to uphold and obey the
laws, come to Kansas"
