KANSAS and HER sUNFLowER.

Compensation IS a universal law in
nature. Kansas is a great corn state
and Kansas corn fed steers and hogs
command the top price of the market.
Tho price Of corn being high it was
discovered that cOttonseed meal could
be shipped from southern mills and
fed TO Kansas cattle ia connection
with corn fodder at q great profit But
the Kansas farmer does not take kind
" to the cottonseed meal experiment
Stitute for corn comes the an
nouncement that there is more value
in oil per acre in sunfiower seed than
almost any crop that can be grown.
There Is only needed the necessary
appliances to manipulate the seed. La
ter it IS affirmed that 500 pounds OF
sunfiower stalks will produce 800
pounds of the best quality of paper.
Kansas is the sunfower state. That
plant is indigenous and fiourisheS
everywhere. Old abandoned roads in
Kansas Immediately become winding
lines of sunfowers growing SO thickly
and vigorously as to become almost
impossible. 1t grows irrespective Of
rain or drouth, wherever the original
prairie sod has been broken. A field
if not planted to some crop is taken
by sunfiowers as with weeds. II sun
flower oil and sunfower paper are to
be the new demands of civilization,
Kansas can supply the demand and
still hold her prominence as wheat
and corn as well as cattle and hog
state

STATE PROHIBITION.

The action OF the Lincoln County
Prohibition Executive Committee last
Thursday, which was harmonious and
absolutely unanimous in its conclu-
sions, sets the right step for Prohibi-
tionists to adopt every where in Mis-
sissippi in this years campaign. The
issue of State and Constitutional Pro-
hibition by the next Legislature
should be brought squarely to the
front with the financial and other i'm
portant issues and kept there. The
Lincoln Committee has adopted the
most infallible way of accomplishing
this, and that is to nominate Prohibi-
ton party men for legislative offices
and force the fighting along that line.
Heretofore the Democrats and now the
Populists with them, abetted by many
well -meaning but unwise men who real
" want State Prohibition, insist on
keeping this question out of politics
and not making it an issue. Then when
YOU 10 W tl6 ICS iSldtuAC anu "'h III
State Prohibition law, the argument
is reversed and you are coolly told that
the Legislature must not adopt Prohi-
bition because 1t rds not made an issue
in the campaign This was the trick
worked by the friends Of the saloon in
1890, or the State would now be under
Constitutional Prohibition.
The opinion prevailed with the Com
mittee that, with the local Prohibition
sentiment as strong as it is in Lin
coin, there was no necessity for max
ing party nominations below legisla-
tive candidates, in order to insure the
election of sober and faithful officials,
and this opinion finds appropriate ex-
preston, with discreet reservation,
in the resolutions adopted.

A number of cases of glanders have
been reported from several different
counties during the last three months,
and in Il few localities the disease has
caused considerable loss. Although
there is no known cure for the disease,
it is so fatal and contagious that every

its appearance and be able to detect
it at once so that he may quarantine

In nine cases out of ten when a man
who is a member of one of the whisky
parties says he is non-partisan Pro
hibitionist-thatis is, that he doesn't be-
lieve in carrying the Prohibition ques-
tion into party politica,-it is simply
another way he has of declaring that
he cares more for party and party
friends than he cares for moral prin
ciple or anything else involved in the
suppression of the liquor traffic. In
other words he is too much of parti-
san Democrat, partisan Republican or
partisan Populist to be partisan Pro
hibitionist for the sake of principle
and all that is involved in this great
moral, economic and financial ques-
ton.

comes from family of lawyers and is
thoroughly qualified to protect the
States interests. He halls from Lin,
ability, eminently fitted for the office
he seeks.--IdzOO Sentinel.
THE LEADER heartily endorses the
above compliment to our worthy
young townsman. The Prohibition
party, as such, is not likely to have q
candidate of its own for District At
torney, and, indeed, if such sober, com
petent and tried friends of Pro
hibition as Mr.. Cassidy were always
honored with official preferment by
the other parties, there would, in fact
be no necessity for a Prohibition
party, so far as this issue is concerned
Lincoln county would honor herself by
giving Hiram" solid vote, and The
LEADER takes special pleasure in COM
mending him to all good citizens Of the
entire district rs we'll worthy Of their
support for the office to which he as
pires. He possesses the ability to fill
it with credit and efficiency, and if
elected, may be relied upon to enforce
the law against all offenders, without
fear Or favor.
