But Will Thew

The indications are good that the
legislature this winter will re- submit
the prOhibitory amendment. 1t will
probably be done unless the republican
hoase and the populist senate get to
legislating purely for partisan effect.
The republicans would gladly be rid of
the prohibitOry law because of the
harm it has done the state aud because
Of the severe chastisemeat they have
received, in part at least. on account
of its unwise advocacy Of this puritan
zeal farce. The prohibitory amendment
was adopted by less than majority of
the people of Kansas and laws were
passed for it's enforcement in cowardiy
obediance to the cranky. impracticabie
crowd that never fails to do harm
whenever it has power to do so
Practical men regardless of party have
long been conscious of the fact that
this amendment and the'laws that have
been enacted for its enforcement have
killed off and kept out valuable indus
tries while at the same time they eff
fectually barred out a large class of
industrious. frugal people who are
needed in the development of new
country. If practical sense prevails
the amendment will be resubmitted; If
the republicans and populists forget
the interests of the commonwealth in
their efforts to make partiZan capital,

He Wants NO Mans Pity.

Substitute for rain quoth some
western wit alive to the advantages of
being able to apply water to his fields
at just the times and in just the guam
titles required by his crops. ''Irriga
tion a substitute for rain? Not much,
rain might be considered a substitute
for irrigation, and mighty poor one
at that. And, as for our adobe and
alkali soils. chemical analysis shows
that they contain in abundance some
times in superabupdance, the very
substance that you easterners pay out
money for when you purchase fertiliz
ers to renovate your wOrnGut land" ="
Thus croweth the successful irrigation
ist over the man who was disposed to
be effusively sympathetic, and somehow
before the irrigationist is through with
him the man from rainy regions begins
to feel as if he should, in common
fairness. have reserved his sympathy
for himself, for the irrigatiOnists pride
themselves on their scientific farming,
and when they talk of soil analysis and
the different methods Of procedure
necessary with different soils, it is be-
cause they have studied the subject
and have been instructed therein as
thoroughly as may be by scientists who
devote their lives to finding out and in
forming them how to secure the best
results from any land they may choose
to cultivate.-Garden City Imprint.

The following from the Pullman
strike commission suggests conditions
that the American people will ponder
over more and more within the next
year. The association is an illustration
of the persistant and shrewdly devised
plans of corporations TO over ride their
Limitations, and TO usurp Indirectly
powers and rights not contemplated in
their characters and not Obtainabte
from the people or their legislators.
An extension Of this association as
above suggested. and the proposed le
gaiizationof pooling would result in an
aggregation of powers and their liber
ties, as we'll as to employees and their
rights. The question would then Ger
tain1y arise as to which shall control the
government or the railroads, and the
would end inevitably be government

That the first step toward heaven is
generally taken on the knees.
That there are men who like to speak
well OF others-on a tombstone.
That they are never alone who are
accompanied by noble thoughts.
That the first step toward being good
is the willingness TO become good.
That the meaner men are the more
they want their wives to be angels.
That it is better to fall short of a
high mark than to reach low one.
That faithfulness in little things fits
one for heroism when the great trials
come.
That young man of this city is so
jealous of his sweetheart that when he
takes her driving he will not permit
her TO admire the scenery.
That Old Crusty says the average
woman can make better excuses than
she can bread.
That some people who profess Chris
tianity will find the atmosphere warmer
than they expected when they reach the
other land
That dry goods clerk was told the
other day by woman looking for neck
wear that she desired choking beau;
