THE HEJIRA OF THE JOINTS.
When the county attorney put in an
appearance here Tuesday morning
there was quite hustling among the
hop tea and Summer drink" vendors,
but when Sheriff Jim Babb came
down on the evening train with a
warrant for Hills arrest 1t amounted
70 a heiira. Doors were closed, cur
tains drawn, blinds put up and a
weary stranger could not procure so
much as a glass of sweet milk or lem
ouade without sugar or ice. Even
grocery houses, meat markets and
millinery shops closed up and it seem
ed as if, for the time being. pail had
been spread over the business part OF
the city. While prohibition may be
lust what is needed in Kansas it seems
TO work injury TO the towns on the
border, as there are great many pco'
ple who will trade in towns where
they can get something to drink and
so long as liquor is sold in Seneca, Ga
lena and Chetopa it will be a great
detrimeut to the trade of Baxter
Springs to close everything here. We
are not advocates of the whiskey traf'
tic. but as the old woman says: 'Busi'

The believer in the modern doctrine
of evolution who, denies that the human
race originally sprang from one human
pair through the fiat OF an Almighty
Creator and holds that man has evolved
himself through natural selection and
survival of the fittest from some prim-
ordial germ through endless grades of
invertebrate AMI vertebrate being up to
his present intelligence and civilization
progression III the pathway towards uni
versal righteousness and perfection must
get set back occasionally when he
reads accounts like those that reach us
from the wreck of the Strathblane that
occurred at Long Beach the other day.
While train and boat and railway
brought hundreds TO the scene of the
wreck whose sole desire was to save
human life, others came to see what
they could steal and their shameless
piracy paid respect to neither the living
nor the dead. The cap of one poor boy
rolled on a barrel in the effort to bring
him back to life, no sooner fell off his
head than it was picked up and con-
cealed till more favorable movement
would come for getting away with it
altogether. The tru"ks and 'valises of
the shipwrecked crew, as they fioated to
the beach, were ruthlessly broken open
and robbed of everything valuable and
invaluable. Trinkets and souvenirs, of
no value to any but the owner, pictures
of the loved ones at home, and of the
not less loved and lost shared common
fate. 1t was the old story OF the night
of The Dalles fire when thousands of
dollars worth of property were rescued
from the flames and placed on the beach
for safety only to be carried off by heart
less and constituencies thieves. 1t was
the old story told under similar circum-
stances everywhere, until one not blinded
by the fiction of evolution is led to ques-
ton if. under favorable opportunities for
theft and concealinent, an Immense
proportion of the human race are not

We dieire to call the attention of adj
vertisers to the superior facilities offered
by the CHRoNIcLE We make no idle
boast when we say that our daily edition
reaches three times more readers than
any ,laily paper published in The Dalles,
while our weekly edition reaches more
readers n this and adjoining counties
than any paper published here or else
where. The success of the CHRoNIcLE
is phenomenal. Starting out in the
teeth OF intensely bitter opposition it
has Won its way to popular favor by
simply telling the truth and taking it's
stand with the masses on all questions
relating to their interest. Without a
single agent in the field soliciting snb-
scrIptions its list of readers is steadily
increasing at rate of from twenty to
thirty week and the voluntary char
acter of these subscriptions gives ample
proof that the. paper is appreciated.
The CHRONICLE is no longer an expert
ment but q complete and gratifying
success. The necessity of it's presence
was never more apparent than it is at
this moment. Belonging to no clique or
party it fears the frown or favor of none.
Its mission is to tell the truth. 1t has
come to stay and just so long as truth
telling is wholesome and necessary it
expects to remain. Meanwhile there is
still room on its subscription list for
more names.
