A KANSAS HOMESTEAD.

The homestead law Of Kansas in
protecting the family against the ex-
egencies of life and misfortune are the
most liberal Of any state in the Union,
in some particulars. A decision has
been handed down by Judge Randolph
of EmpOria, which goes farther than
has heretofore been held. allusiOn to
which was made in our dispatches the
other morning. And it seems that the
bar so far as has been heard from
sustains the views of Judge Randolph
His decision was that a homestead
once acquired may not be seized for
debt SC long as the owner continues to
occupy it as a home, although he may
be the sole member of the household.
The defendant in the case had raised
a family of children who had married
and left him. His Wife had died and
he was alone, the sole occupant of the
former home. He was no longer the
head Of family" as generally held.
and SO a creditor sought to seize the
house and roof which had been his
shelter for so many years. Judge
Randolph granted an Injunction and
the precedent which had so long held
was knocked out. He held that a
homestead is homestead even if the
occupant be but an individual. The
decision seems just and right whether
it is law or not, but it is to be hoped
that the supreme court will hold the
decision TO be good law.

A VICTIM OF CIVILIZATION.

partially and dispatch with which her
courts, under the law, sewers the silken
cord of matrimony, when it begins to
eat into the soul, still Oklahoma seems
to have struck marital knot beyond
her capacity for unraveling. 1t is a
case not of infelicity SO much as of
developed a desire to become a white
man finds his way barred by the fact
that he has four wives, who, while they
have no objections to his becoming
civilized, don't propose to be dumped
by any divorce court for that purpose.
The sacrifice is too much to ask at the
hands Of these four dusky danes who
have shared the bad and board of Vel
low Bennett undisturbed for so long
So this man of too much married bliss
is an exceedingly unhappy Indian. In
his untutOred state he snapped off his
ponies for new wives, little dreaming
of the advance of civilization and it's
demands. The bliss of his former
ignorance has fed, but those four
wives refuse to follow bliss and fly
also. A missionary has persuaded

man of principle and ready to do his

Had he restrained his fancies, confined

chequer might have proved equal to

PEACE IN KANSAS

There is too much quarreling among
Kansas people. There is too much ros
ing OF kansas towne in Kansas newspa-
pers; too much roasting of Kansas men
generally. II is wrong for Kansas men
TO pun each other down. Kansas news
papers and Kansas men should help to
build each other up.
Prohibition is the cause of most of the
trouble. Why should this miserable issue
be permitted to injure the state? Is
there not good reason for Kansas men
10 oe thoughtful awhile and resolve To
quit a lot OF viciousness that has hereto
fore distinguished them? The Globe has
been guilty, with others, but usually in
connection with defending the city in
which il is published. The Globe knows
that Atehison people do not deserve The
mean things said OF them. and fl may
have been somewhat heated in replying.
but il IS thoroughly satisfied that all the
papers and all the people should do less

hibition is simply a great big damaging
quarrel; shouldn't the people OF Kansas
adopt some plan whereby this quarrel can
be avoided? Prosperity has returned 20

There are not many actresses in the

no wonder. Though other women COM
plain of an unfair chance in life. the
actresses cannot honestly class them
selves with the others. On the stage,
where talent rules, the women may as
cend to any heights that are accessible to
men. And just as in the religious sister
hoods they manage great institutions with
consummate shrewdness. so on the stage
they star on their own accounts, lead
their own companies and grow exceeding
ly rich. Today in New York women are

'that temperance, like other virtues,

to emphasize the utterances Of the men
above quoted. Nor do we reproduce
their words with any idea of convinc-
ing anyone one way or the other. but
only as additional proof, from the
strongest possible authority, that he
who is opposed to the prohibitOry law
of Kansas is not necessarily an out
cast. and that in fighting said law one
can still be not only Christian but a
sound patriot The declaration that
he who fights the prohibitory law is
either opposed TO Christianity or the
church Or that he is a defender of in
temperance is proscriptiye and hypO-
critical.

MORRIS LLOYD.

The Republican candidate for county
treasurer this fall is Morris Lloyd. The
position of county treasurer stands in the
front line of importance among the coun-
ty officers. 1t is the cash drawer of the
county's bushes, the till which is the
guage of all public transactions. Mr..
Lloyd has certain ideas about running the
treasurer's office which he will carry out
| if elected. One Of these ideas is that the
treasurer's Office shall be run on strictly
business principles and that every &C
count, every entry and every charge will
be watched and kept with the same ac-
curacy that characterizes any merchant
in the conduct Of his own establishment.
He has long been known as one of the
substantial men of Sedgwick county and
is eminently qualified to carry out his
ideas in this line.
Mr.. Lloyd was born near Wenona, Mar
shall county, Illinois. on Jan. q. 1851. His
father was a farmer who had settled in
Illinois as early as 1881. Until he was
13 years of age. Mr.. Lloyd worked around
the farm, and at that age he went TO
Wenona to school, his father opening a
general merchandise store in that town.
>--@
store and mastered all the details Of the
general business. He also kept the books
and was as handy at adding up a column
of figures as he was at cutting yard
of cloth, weighing a barrel OF sugar or
dwelling on the superior qualities of a
pair Of shoes. He worked in this store
from 1864 until 1876 when he moved to
Kansas. He settled down in Kechi town.
ship, this county, where he bought
farm and went to farming. He remained
in Kechi township seven years and the
vote he will get next month will show how
we'll he stands among his former neigh
bors in that part of the county. AL
though he has not lived among them for
years, nearly every prominent farmer in
Kechi township knows just what sort of
a man Morris Lloyd is. From Kechi he
moved to Wichita, and remaining here a
short time, went out to Garden Plain,
where he engaged in the lumber business.
Three years ago he quit the lumber bust
ness and took up the management of sew
eral farms.
At his home he is immensely popular.
At the recent conventions he won the
nomination over the heads of some of the
strongest men in the county. The west
ern part of the county where he is gen.
orally known personally will bring in an
immense vote for him. He is perfectly
clean and capable and the high esteem in
which he is held by all his neighbors
demonstrates that fact. If he is elected
he will serve the people Of the county with
as much care and pains as he would serve
himself In his own establishment He
will be the same obliging man in Of
flee as he is out Of it. He is for the free
coinage of silver and is an out-and-out
resubmissionist.
If the people Of Sedgwick county want
the office of county treasurer filled with
a man who will perform its many Of
fees with a rigid adherence to honesty
and official rectitude they should vote for
Morris Lloyd and prevail upon their
friends to do the same.
