MR.. INGALLS, AND Mr.. HUDSON.

We this week begin the publica-
ton Of the Symposium on 1.-THE Fu-
ture Relation Of the Republican
Party to Prohibition In Kansas" In
the January number OF the Agord,
and the first installment contains
the papers Of Mr.. Ingalls, and Mr..
Hudson. Mr.. Ingalls, 10 evidently of
the opinion that the adoption Of pro-
hibition was q mistake, and q mat
ter that the Republican party would
have been better off had 1t left alone.
For the future he sees nothing but
disaster and shame for the party IL
it is continued as a part Of its gospel.
The vital ISSUE" he says, with
which the people Of Kansas are con-
cerned 10 whether prohibition has
been efficient in restraining in
temperance and extirpsting the
dram shop traffic." While there is
some doubt as to whether the law
has done this, there Is one feature
which the writer has over looked
prohibition has eliminated the sa-
loon from politics.
For the most part Mr.. Ingalls,
truly portrsys the condition OF
society and its attitude toward the
law, and the workings Of the law,
his conclusion that prohibition
should no longer be made q political
issue, because 1t is an integral part
of the organic law Of the state,
and as such should be left to
the courts and the people like all
other questions Of social ethics and
personal morality" is q sound one
and will be readily endorsed by the
majority Of the people Of the state.
III, as Mr.. Hudson says, the con-
stitutionsl principal and the ststu-
tory provisions for the enforcement
Of prohibition have become Q part Of
the political system Of Kan sss, why
not let II alone. After building is
completed, is 1t necessary to keep
the scaffolding about II for all time?
II so, 1t must indicate that the
structure is unsafe, and should not
be allowed to stand as q menace TO
the safety Of those who are brought
within reach Of 1t.
Mr.. Hudson's final words indicate
that he Is not very sanguine that the
Republican party will continue to
treat prohibition as an open question,
and 1t is very doubtful that even he
believes that the Republican party
would be disloysl to the people Of
Kansas, by simply treating prohibit
ton as q settled fact. Certainly q
law that needs prop to hold 1t up is
in 9 bad way. The JOURNAL cannot
believe the prohibition law Of Kan
sas needs the help OF any organiza-
ton to maintain 1t except those
whose aims are to manufacture senti-
ment in favor Of its enforcement,
and for moral, social and ethical
culture. Give prohibition q chance
and SEE what IL can do for itself.

ELDER SEE Jays . third party pro-
hibltiop crank In his last weeks
Issue In Q way that makes our hearts
glad. All that prohibitionists have
they owe to the Republican party,
and the elder at least IL not guilty Of
base ingratitude. By the way, We
almost forgot to say the breach that
has 90 long existed between the
Elder and the JOURNAL has at last
been bridged over and hereafter We
will be found fighting side by side.
By his silence the elder admits that
some people 60 to the Good Temp
lars lodge and even to church with
impure purposes In their hearts. We
can't help 1t and neither can the
elder, but hereafter both of US are
going to bend our energies toward
cleaning out the parasites, whether
they are found in the pulpit or boot
Logging whisky. But we must de-
muir to the elders assertion that we
iusiuubtcu evil cAibtS III Tue CuuICu.
It IL not of the church IL 1t does
exist. The church is the only thing
that gives visibility to the Kingdom
Of Jesus Christ, as such we have only
honor, love and devotion and
reverence for 1t. We find that the
church also is to be the Bride Of the
Lamb, but after diligent search we
have failed to find that the church Is
not subject, in its earthly existence.
to the wiles and corrosive influence
Of the Devil. Our reason rejects the
idea Of the infallibility Of the church
or its priesthood, and far more its
laity, thrown in contact with the
world. Rogues, libertines, canting
bypocrites, robbers, murderers, liars
aud thieves have tried to use the
church as q cloak in all ages and 1t
seems that In this age Of sham there
is more Of it than at any other time.
So when we see anything wrong,
Elder, you may rest in the assurance
that somebody will be bombarded
with JOURNAL bricks.

II the 'snnals Of the poor" % far
- they relate TO 6alina were written
it would touch our hearts and call
forth our warmest sympathy and
help. 1.-THE poor ye have always
with you" Ii . fact that some Of rs
are prone to forget these days when
we sit at our warm firesides. "How
shall We help the poor ?" IL . ques-
ton that has perplexed mankind
ever since government had history,
and the most satisfactory answer IL,
by helping the poor to help them
selves. Every year when thanks
giving comes around . collection IL
taken up for the benefit Of the poor.
1t IL An established axiom that
organized effort can accomplish
more and do 1t more thoroughly than
unorgsnized or promiscuous effort,
and this il the principle that We
wish to see applied to helping the
poor in our midst.
Why not organize q permanent
society having for its object the as
sistsnce Of the worthy poor in our
city. A society that Is comprehen-
sive In its scope and thorough In its
methods. 1t should be nonpartisan,
nonsectarian and devoted solely to
that object. Its officers should serve
without pay, with the exception,
perhaps Of the secretary, who should
devote his whole time to the bust
ness OF the organization, receiving
and distributing contributions. The
amount that is annually given to the
poor by the city and county could
be handled with profit to all con-
cerned by such q society. Assist
snce In the way Of securing employ
ment could be made q valuable
feature, and temporary homes pro-
vided In certain cases. III assistance
were rendered the society by the
city and county, the amount that is
now paid to overseers Of the poor
would go long ways toward paying
for a secretary who would be needed
only during the winter months.
Experience and good sense would
soon furnish the society an unerring
system for aiding the needy, and the
amount that is now given to the
poor would be more effectually and
more justly applied. Besides there
is the desirability Of eliminating
charity from all connection with
politics and public Office holding to
be considered. or course while our
city is small there is no danger Of
any aid intended for the poor going
amiss, but as our city grows it will
be more and more imperative that
the helping Of the poor be removed
from the domain Of politics.

THE COUNTY PRINTING.

One year ago the board Of comfy
commissioners let the county print
ing to the Salina Herald and Union.
Well and good. Nobody questioned
their right to do as they saw fit, and
nobody abused them for it. This
year they saw fit to give 1t to the
JOURNAL and Sun, and the Union
feels very sore about II, and makes
statements that will be very hard for
them to prove. We do not want to
give away any secrets, but when you
talk to us about circulation, you
must be just q little careful. We
printed the Union for about one year,
and have done the press work for the
Herald and Sun frequently, and we
will just say in this connection that
the JOURNAL issues IS many papers
to bona fide subscribers as any paper
in Sslina. We do not care to be con-
tinually blowing about our circuls-
ton, but we probably know the ex-
act status Of the Salins newspapers
as well as any one in the city, and
are satisfied with our standing.
Never fear, the farmers who pay the
taxes will get the county news.
The Union's attack on Mr.. Daum
is certainly out Of place. 1t should
be thankful to him for past favors,
instead Of abusing him. Mr.. Daum
knows his constituency as well as
any one. He knows that his district
is q Republican district and that
some Of his warmest friends and sup
porters are Republicans. Don't you
worry about Mr.. Daum. He may be
Q Democrat, but he Is at psesent the
county commissioner from the First
district, and can be counted on to
represent them fearlessly and con-
scientiously under all circumstances.
Mr.. Burke would have been . very
nice Republican indeed, IL he had
voted against Mr.. Daum's motion to
award the printing to the JOURNAL
and Sun. Don't you think so7 No
matter what his own views In the
matter were, after the motion was
made, he could not very well do
otherwise than vote for 1t. Take .
run around the block and get warm
ed up, dear Union, and accept the in
evitable with . smile. You will thus
make more friends than by kicking
all the time.

CENTRAL KANSAS.

There has always been q vast
amount Of talking in regard to the
superior quality Of eastern Kansas
soil when compared to central Kan
sas, and their great prosperity while
we suffered for the necessities OF
life, and all that kind Of thing, when
the facts in the case really are,
that central Kansas il by far the
most desirable portion Of the state.
We are far enough from Kansas
City to have cities Of our own, q
fact that will always initiate against
the cities of eastern Kansas. The
soil Of central Kansas cannot be
beat In this or any other state, and
the seasons are such that our year
ly productions are greater In pro-
portion to the acreage than in
any other portion Of the state. The
Topeka Capitals mortgage state
ment shows that In December, 30
per cent, Of the total city indebted
ness Of eastern Kansas cities was
paid of, while central Kansas cities
paid 20 per cent, Of their city in
debtedness. During the same month
49, per cent. of the farm mortgage
Indebtedness of eastern Kansas was
paid, while central Kansas paid "a
per cent. Of their farm mortgage
Indebtedness during the same
month. This goes to show that
central Kansas is in Q very prosper
Gus condition, and while we are not
disposed to crow over our eastern
neIghbors, yet we think it 10 about
time that we are accorded our right
full position. Central Kansas is
bound to be the active field for fut-
ure commercial operations in this
state, and it will he remembered in
this connection that Salins IL right
in the center of central Kansas.
