EMPoRIA, LOOK OUT FOR CARS.

The city Of Emporia; beautiful in its
seclusion from the world, beautiful in
its deathly quiet, beautiful in its busl-
ness paralysis and commercial coma,
is another Topeka without Topeka

Kansas City jug train.
1t is n town whose historical func-
ton in this state appears to be to warn
the rest of the state Of Kansas of what
effects the spirit Of prohibition will
bring its people to.
First of all it should be said that
whiskey is sold in Emporia the same
as in the other cities Of the state. 1t
has its liquor trials the same. 1t has
its quota of citizens who inwardly re-
volt against the iron obstinacy of intol-
erance, but who have been cOwed and
driven back into covert and reticence
by the ObStreperous crank, grown
great with insolence because so long
unopposed. Its biggest and richestman
has run away from it as he would a
plague, seeking more active CONNER
cial fields. Its brightest ministers stay
there the briefeSt period and then fly
breathless to larger and more pros
porous community, glad to escape the
narrowness and bad pay and growing
discomfort, and, if not that, the dead
calm of inarticulate despair that is con-
comitant with commercial decay. Its
business men, once ambitious to widen
their natural territory and secure a
fair percent of interest on their energy
and progreSsiveness have settled back
to a hum-drum, spool-o local
trade, while the better goods are pur-
chased by their patrons on weekly
trips TO Kansas City.
All, but the town is very quiet. Pro-
hibition is supreme. The street cars,
moving wrecks, may creep sleepily
through the deserted streets, the resi-
dences may crumble unpainted and IN
repaired; the business houses may top
pie and the plate glass fronts become
impenetrable with coats of ancient
dust; the hands on the clock of the
High school may stop and rust off be-
cause no one has the energy 10 start

SWEET GIRLBUr DANGEROUS

Jessie Findlay, the female bandit
imprisoned at Oklahoma City, has cap
tured the hearts of her captors, if re-
ports are true Coming as this report
does. from the land Of the bloody fake
and the guilt-stained exaggeratiOn, one
is licensed TO doubt ii, but for one
thing.
In Oklahoma City, where the charm
ing bandit is temporarily residing at
the earnest solicitation of the authori-
ties, lives Mrs. Alberts. Mrs. Alberts
edits the Oklahoma City Star and the
editorial page thereof is bright with
many a turn of fantastic wit, and pom
derous with many sagacious editorials.
And it is Mrs. Alberts who gives out
the news in regard to the winsOme
characteristics of the Siren Jessie, who
was brought in by the deputy marshals
in her bare feet, charged with effecting
the escape of her lover from the Okla
homa City Jail.
Mrs. Alberts says that Jessie not
only reads novels and smokes cigar
cites, but she goes ito the Saddle Rock
restaurant. chaperoned by some of the
handsome under sheriffs and deputy
marshalS, and thoroughly enjoys her
self. She is supplied with the sweetest
dresses, duck of a hat and everything
she wants"
And then Mrs. Alberts. supposedly
placing her hand on an editorial charg-
ing the government with treason be-
cause of the tariff schedule on wool,
looks off in the distance, and with a
sigh that is born of dream, adds to
the above, "It's a sweet thing to be a
girl bandit"
This report Of the divine Jessie is
certainly unique. The sight of the
fair prisoner doing up her hair, touch
ing 4 piece of lace into unspeakable
grace about her fair young throat, but
toning her glove around a wrist burst
ing with plumpness and whiteness,
smuggling that dainty foot into a boot
of infinite fineness, tossing her pretty
head cOquettishly, and. then tripping
lightly off to the Saddle Rock with a
half dozen deputy marshals, dazzled
into that cOmatose condition best pro-
ductive Of intense infatuatiOn. follow
ing her with loving fear, and gazing
on her buxOm form with parched
throats-this is sight that every citi-
zen of Oklahoma City should look upon
now while all the too fleeting OppOrtun-
ity is at hand. This for the citizen
of Oklahoma.
AS regards the sheriff, it is another
matter. Caution, discretion and Of
fetal foresight on his part should sug-
gest a change of jailOrs once week.
or even at briefer intervals, guaged to
sweet little Jessie's capacity to throw
the violet-light of her dancing eyes
around the average deputy, ensnare,
entangle and trip him completely.

MISS KEY WILL GET BACK.

There is great interest displayed
among politicians, and especially
Maryland ones, in a phase which has
developed in the case of Miss Key, the
granddaughter of Francis Scott Key,
the author of 1.-THE Star-Spangled Ban
ner," and who was dismissed from Of
fee some time ago. Every effort has
been made by influential friends and
patriotic societies to get the secretary
of the interior and the commissioner
of pensions To reverse their order, and
reinstate the little woman, but all these
attempts have failed, and therefore
everyone is watching to see what Sen
ator German will do. In a note to
Miss Key the senator says: Your re-
moval was 4 great surprise to every
body. 1t will give me pleasure to do
anything l can to have you reinstated.
l think the sentiment in your direction
is so strong that it will be impossible
for them to resist it." 1t is seldom
that the astute senator from Maryland
puts himself on record in such Il way,
but he evidently is determined to make
fight, and, therefore, his friends are
awaiting the results. Miss Key was
originally appointed from Maryland
and lived in Senator Germans own
district and it is natural for him TO
look out for his own constituents. AS
the senator is not a contributor TO the
fund now being raised by the New
York Mail and Express for Miss Keys
benefit land TO which, by the way. 1t
may be added that six cabinet officers
and large number of prominent Dem
ocratic officials have contributedl he
prefers to do the more substantial
work of having her reinstated.
If Miss Key asked reinstatement be-
cause she was the descendant OF some
president or other former dignatary
there are many Democratic souls of |
misguiding intensity who would oh
ject to the employment of anyone for
that reason alone.
But she is the granddaughter Of n I
man who wrote n beautiful song;
song that was born of rapturous love
of this nation and its emblem; a song
that has helped and will help To win
battles. Besides Miss Key IS compe-
tent. and there is not a man in the
country who would not ike 10 see her
reinstated. unless it is the under-strap
per OF Hoke Smiths who dislike her
personally and secured her discharge.

ARE BLEEDING THE PEOPLE.

The Eagle is in favor OF the free
coinage of silver, of bimetallism, or of
the Joint standard of measure and of
silver and gold combined as specie
currency. because the money power of
the world is against it, The money
power OF the world respects nothing
that it cannot by utilizing enslave.
The men who demonetiZed silver and
who now control the worlds volume
Of gold, have neither religion or poll
tics, only as they can use them TO shield
and protect their possessions. They
uphold governments only that they
may bleed them. They are now bleed
ing the people of the United States,
not only by robbing their treasury,
but through every industrial enter
prise Shylock was an angel COM
pared to the gold syndicate, his greed
for pound Of flesh as the dew Of
heaven compared to the vampires who
gloat on the sweat OF the millions
With the free coinage of silver the
concentration of the peoples money
into the hands OF the few is more diff
ficult, and the enforcement of "object
lessons" by traitorouS secretaries of
the treasury for the impoverishment
Of the multitude impossible. In short
we can conceive of no reason why the
laborer, the manufacturer, the farmer,
the professional man and all, save the
and the interest-ShylOck,
should not be for a system that would
mean enlarged foreign trade, busy fac
tories. more consumers, with their

that composed the commonwealth.
Through the original town-meeting
system in New England the people OF
each locality decided how much money
should be raised for public purposes,
how their paupers should be cared for,
what sort of roads and bridges should
be made, and host of other questions.
Beyond the enactment of general laws
as to crimes. and the provision OF a
system of courts. and prisons for the
execution of such laws, the state
touched the citizen at scarcely any
point.
This system was based upon the
right principle, that local public senti-
ment should control the government or
every locality so far as this is possible
without harm to the general interests.
Democracy is the rule Of public opinion
and the public opinion of any COM
munity is what the majority OF Its
people want That they should have
their way SO far as possible, WAS re-
garded as an axiom by the founders
of the republic, and time has fully just
flied their judgment. Whenever. as IN
the recent case of the federal election
laws. the general government has
sought TO extend its powers. trial OF
the experiment has indicated the
theory of the trainers of the constitu-
ton that. in the long run. the principle
of ''hands off, would work out the
best results.
During the last thirty or forty years
some of the states have also made eX-
periments in the way of interfering
with what are properly matters of local
concern, and the results have been
equally disastrous. Massachusetts. for
example, adopted law providing that
the people of a city should ''have no
say" as to the sale of liquor WITHIN its
limits. but that sucn sale should be
prohibited throughout the common
wealth After thorough trial il was
found that this system promoted
drunkenness and corruption, rather
than temperance and good govern
ment. in cities where the majority OF
| the people favored the sale; and twen-
ty years ago license and local option
were substituted. each town having
the right to allow or forbid ii. Iowa
ten years ago passed law prohibiting
all saloons, alike in the small village
where not one voter would stand up
and vote for the sale and in the large
| city where two-thirds of three-fourths
of the people favored it. The denial
of home rule resulted in such de-
bauchery of the public morals that the
law was at last virtually abrogated,
and each locality is now allowed to
settle the question according to the
preponderance of public sentiment.
Local option being based on the right
view of government, the principle will
prevail. whatever the law may be de-
clares the. New York Post. The gov
eminent of Massachusetts could not
prevent the selling of liquor in Boston,
whatever the statute might say, so
long as the majority of the people
wanted it sold; the state of Iowa found
the task equally impossible in the
river towns" of that commonwealth.
