The First Baptist church of Topeka
has prepared a memorial to be forward
ed to the National Baptist convention to
be held in Cincinnati May 90 urging
that body to adopt resolutions declaring
prohibition to be the only legal method
that can suppress the liquor traffic. We
mention this because it is so unusual a
thing for Baptist church to thus pub
licly take part in a political issue. And
just here the suggestion is volunteered
that if all the churches would deal more
vigorously with the evil of intemper-
ance, within the admitted province of
the church-the pulpit, the pew, the So
cial circle, the home-so much might
and no doubt would be accomplished
towards the suppression of the evil that
resort to legislative interference would
not be necessary. But the greatest sur
prise is that the church named, or any
other church anywhere else in the state,
should recommend such a line of policy,
in view of the utter failure of the policy
to accomplish the object In question in

The mathematical genius of the En-
poria Republican is the first to figure on
the wheat crop. To move the value of
the surplus of this crop in silver dollars
would require wagon train thirty miles
long, allowing fifty feet for each wagon
and half ton of silver to each wagon;
or ten railroad trains of twenty cars
would be required to haul it. To trans
port the wheat it would take 100, 900
wagons, which would make train long
enough to reach from Kansas CITY to
Denver. The number OF freight cars
required would be $4,000, making coo
trains of twentycars each.
