Press Association.

Press Association.
Owing to the campaign being on and
the editors busy at their posts of duty,
the time for calling the annual meeting
was passed; but,now there is luL in the
fight; we hope every reform paper in the
state will be represented at meeting
which will be held in the city Of Topeka,
Tuesday, December 20, at 10 s..m., for
which the following program has been
arranged:
Address Of welcome, by Mayor Cofran.
Response, by president Of association.
Paper. Subject, "The Fight We Have
Just Passed Through" W. H. French,
Of Kinsley Graphic.
'"The Coming Fight" JAS. P. Easterly,
Of Peoples AdOOcate, Marysvllle.
"Causes of the Upheaval," A. A. Stew
art, Of Manhattan Republic.
Hon. w. A. Harris, Governor Lew
elling, and W. s. Morgan, Of the Ma
tionGy Retormer and secretary Of the
National Reform Press Association, have
been invited to deliver addresses.
The election Of officers will take place
at this meeting. Arrangements will also
be made for Kansas editors to attend the
meeting of the National Reform Press
Association at Washington, d. O., Feb
ruary %, 1893. This will be the long
promised excursion we have looked for
ward to since the organization Of this
association, and rates can be secured that
will make it possible for every reform
editor in the state to take well-earned
vacation trip TO our national capital.
Congress will be in session, and good
time is assured
Now, brother workers in the cause,
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-12-07

we earnestly ask each and every one Of
you to be- present at this meeting. No
men have done more in the history OF
the world for a great cause of the peo-
pie than have you. The weekly reform
papers have fought the peoples battle
against the great daily papers of the
state backed by the corporations and
edited by their tools. No class Of men
have remained truer to their principles
than you have. Many of you are poor
and have had hard struggle to keep
the paper alive, but with all this, money
had no effect on your manhood, and if
there is one thing above another that
should be cause Of qualification and
pride it is that no member Of this asso-
citation has proved false to the cause;
and while our friends the enemy are
looking around for the cause OF their
late defeat, they can locate the prime
factor in the reform press that corrected
their false statements and educated the
people. Therefore let us meet together,
counsel with each other, and keep up the
fight until this is government "Of the
people, by the people, and for the people"

publican papers have recently come
to the conclusion that the coal trust
is a curse, that the beef combine
ought to be busted" that exorbitsnt
interest charges are draining the
earnings of the people of the west
into the Golfers of eastern mortgage
owners and bondholders, that trans
portation rates are too high, that cor

there is not money enough in circu-

KANSAS will not be divided up. It will
contain 100000 or 100000 inhabitants
some day and be a great state; but it will
never reach this condition unless it over
throws the blatherskites, fanatics and i'm
practicables who are now running and
running the state.-Globe-D Democrat, No

Kansas has just succeeded in over
throwing those fellows, and will soon
enter upon a career of honor and In
creasing prosperity. The Globe
Democrat need not borrow trouble
about this state, It is fully compe-
tent to attend to It's own affairs.

Will Justice Be Done2
SToNEwA1L, CoLo., Nov.

SToNEwAIL, Colo, Nov. 10, 1892.
We, settlers within the Colorado por-
tion of the alleged Maxwell grant, in
mass meeting assembled, earnestly in
Vite the attention of the public to our
grievance.
At the first session of the present con-
gress the house committee on private
land claims, after an investigation of the
facts Of record relating to the Colorado
portion Of the said alleged Maxwell
grant, concludes it's report on the same
as follows:
1t is the opinion of your committee
that the lands included within the Colo
RADIO portion Of the alleged Maxwell
grant, were required by act of June 81,
1850, to be treated as public lands. They
were located within the out.boundaries
Of the said Vigil and st. Vrain grant, and
were not part Of the original Beaubien
and Miranda grant.
The fact, then, has been authoriatively
ascertained that the Colorado portion Of
the so-called Maxwell grant-nesrly 300,-
600 acres-was required by law to be
treated as public land. Hence said tract
of land was rightly surveyed by the gov
eminent as public land, and our home
stead and pre-emption rights acquired
under the public surveys are valid, and
our threatened eviction by the Maxwell
grant company is unlawful.
The house committee on private land
claims at the last session Of congress, in
compliance with resolution offered by
Hon. John G.. Otis, Of Kansas, recon-
mended that a select committee Of seven
be appointed to investigate this matter,
and the investigation is now pending;
but we have been 80 often disappointed
when investigation seemed TO be assured
that we beg the press Of the country, in
terested in seeing settlers have fair play
in their fight with wealthy foreign land
grant corporation, to come to our aid and
join with US in demand for immediate
congressional investigation.

A FIRsT-c GLASS APPOINTMENT.

The appointment by Gov. Level
ling of Fred j. Close as his private
secretary is commended by fair
minded men of all parties. The gov
ernor has made a good beginning in
this case, and if his appointments are
all equally meritorious, his admins
tration will be an unqualified success.
In these appointments he should, and
we believe he will, be governed by but
one consideration, the qualification
and fitness of the men and women
(for we expect to see the women rec
ognized by this administrator who
may be selected for the several posi-
tions to be filed. If this policy is
adhered to, and the state is given an
honest and efficient public service,
our position in the political arena will
be rendered invinclble. We do not
anticipate any mistakes. The gov
ernor is believed to be a conservative,
broad-minded MAJ, and one who will
be the governor, not of a party, but
of Kansas. 1t requires strength Of
character to safely pass through the
ordeal that confronts him at the be-
ginning of his administration, but we
believe him fully equal to the occa-
sion.

A SENSIBLE PROPOSITION.

AT meeting of the Kansas State
Temperance Union in thus city on
November 30, a lively discussion was
precipitated by the introduction OF a
esolution favoring the sale of liquors
in this state by state agents at abso-
Lutte cost. Although there was con-
siderable opposition to the resolution
by some members who were alarmed
at the tendency toward ''paternalism,"
the proposition carried by a vote OF
seventy-fve to thirty-eight. This is a
sensible move. The elimination of
the element of profit from the traffic
is the first practical step towards its
successful control; and the endorse
ment of such apolicy shows that there
are some level heads in the State
Temperance Union. This is a step IN
the right direction, and when the pro-
hibltionists Of the entire country
manifest disposition to unite with
the Peoples party in taking this step
there will be some prospect of a final
solution of the liquor question. We
cannot mount from the foot to the top
of ladder at one leap, neither can
we arrive at an ultimate adjustment
of this problem by the enactment of
arbitrary prohibitory laws. If we
could agree first upon the one
single proposition to take the traffic
absolutely out of the hands of indi-
viduals who pursue it for profit, and
place it in the hands of responsible
state or national agents who would
work upon salary and sell at cost, the
strong incentive to sell would be re-
moved. Further than this, states
where prohibitory laws exist at the
time such law would go into effect
would at once have absolute prohibi-
ton, and it would be in the power of
the people of every other state to
have it as soon as majority should
declare in favor Of it at the ballot
box. Natlonalize the entire business
of manufacture and sale if 1t is ever
expected to accomplish successful
control of it.

W. L. BROWN, president of the
Kansas Reform Press Association,
and editor of the Kingman Journal
has been mentioned by several of
our reform papers for clerk of the
senate. The ADVOCATE unites in the
recommendation. Mr.. Brown has
been an efficient worker in the re-
cent campaign, and what is more, he
has done his work at his own ex-
pense, besides contributing literally
to the campaign fund. Kingman
county has given a good account of
herself, and we would be glad to see
Mr.. Browns services recognized in
substantial way.

After prayer by the Rev. Z. 3. Stewart,
Mr. WOlfenbarger was introduced lie
considered the prohibition question as the
greatest and most vital one in American
politics, and arragned the two great parties
for making no reference to ii in their ma
tiOnal platforms He commended that on
account of the inability of the Government
twenty years. and the comparative amounts
of revenue involved, legislation should be
directed toward the liquor traffic at once.
Il understand, said the lecturer, that
the hgh-liceuse craze, which has run as
public pestllence through the Eastern States,
is being advocated in this State at present.
| denOunce the system as more cruel than
the lOw-license system and the lOw-llcense
system is worse than permitting liquor TO be
dispensed free. High license is not step
toward prohibition and should not be toll
Grated by any State. If legislators think
the saloon an evil why not obiterate it. II
they do not then let whisky run as free as
water"
Mr.. WOlfenbarger asked all to stand for
prohibition in the coming election. and all
present were given blanks to sign, pledging
allegiance to the cause,
