The Governors Letter.

Last Sunday. Mr.. Booth contributed
% the Standard a timely letter re-
lating to the many weak spots in the
new codes. These instruments include
plenty Of conflicting sections, omis-
sions and absurdities; the question is
whether by hook or crook the state.
without resort to an extra session, can
get on until. at the regular meeting of
the legislature. thirteen months hence.
the codes can be Strengthened out. g
For our part. we are for giving cor
dial support to the policy pursued by
Governor Richards In the matter Of a
proposed extra session. The code pre-
SCENTS some obstacles In the way Of the
best administration of the state gov
eminent. the courts and the like, but
up to this hour no actual blockade is
threatened. There are certain difficult
ties almost in sight. but 1t is an even
chance that these can be avoided by
the exercise OF fair-minded common
sense on the part of a public which
manifestly wants to avoid an extra
session.
A valuable contribution to the can
did discussion of this question is fur
nished In letter written by Governor
Richards and printed In this mornings
Standard. The point made by the gov
ernor is SO clearly set forth as not
to need modification. His opinion is
that the state can avoid serious en-
tanglement without resorting to an
extra session; surely It is to be hoped
that the experience Of the coming
twelvemonth will ratify his views.

Diplomacy That Failed.

In the light of the experience of the
second son of the Ameer of Afghani-
stan, there is likely to be in that coun-
try no fierce scramble for diplomatic
appointments for some time to come.
Even the closest family relationship
seems not to serve to protect the UNI
successful diplomat from a visitation
of royal displeasure in the severest
form. The Ameer's son was sent to
London last summer to establish some
kind of a political connection with
Great Britain, but whether he was too
fresh, or too slow, or whether his old
mans terms were to exacting. or what
ever was the matter Great Britain saw
fit not to treat with the young fellow
and he went home to his father empty
handed. 1t would have been better for
him and many other people, If he hadn't
gone home at all. but had settled down
in London, or better yet, had come to
America and struck for a millionaire
bride, or "a position in a hash house, or
done anything at all rather than go
back to Afghanistan and attempt to
play the prod!gal son act. AS 1t is. he
is not Only denied the wife he expected
on his return, but is to be severely pun
ished and probably banished. More
than that one of his companions on his
London visit has been tortured, and a
great many Afghans have been shut DIP
in prison and not few burned alive,
The young mans pull with the admin
istration seems to be very weak.
1t would seem as II the Aneer ought
properly to vent his displeasure upon
England rather than upon his own son
and his own subjects, but he probably
saw some serious objections to that
course and as somebody had to be pun
ished he chose people nearest at hand.
Political life in Afghan.stan, we should
say, is not one grand. sweet song.
In Chicago the sweat box" system
of treating criminals Is under a heavy
fire. The sweat box system consists in
arresting a man, suspected of crime,
on some pretext or other, and by keep
ing him in close confinement. with no
chance to see his friends or an atto--
ney, compelling him to make a con-
fesslon. He is alternately coaxed and
threatened and every possible effort is
made to squeeze an admission of guilt
out of him. The sweat box system is
not in good repute and ought to be
abolished wherever 1t is maintained. 1t
is a survival of the torture chamber OF
the .nquisltion. II the victim is inno-
cent he can bring suit for false i'm
prisonment. but 1t is uphill work hight
ing the police. -

Anti-resubmission petitions have
been generally circulated through
out our city the past week. This
prohibition question has been Il
vexed one in Kansas for years, and
there is n wide difference in opin-
ion of the people as regards its
effect upon the state. But from our
view il really does seem that none
but fanatics are advocating the re-
tention of the law upon our statute
books. When we say fanatics we
do not mean fools or lunatics. But
people who, in the common accept
alton of the term are cranky, or
who have 30 long allowed their
minds to run in one channel that
they have become partial and pre-
JUDGED. and not capable of decid-
ing the matter fairly and in the
best interest of Kansas in our
opinion, if the facts could be OBJ
tained il would be found that there
is now more liquor sold and con-
sumed in Kansas than there ever
was under the old dram shop laws
We do not know of a single town
in Kansas where liquor cannot be
purchased in from one to two hun
drcd places. In many towns the
saloon is run wide open, aud no
pretense of an attempt is made to
stop them. Right here in Chetopa
to-day there is no less than half a
dozen places where liquor is sold,
and persons obtain it by the pint
and gallon who could not go TO a
licensed saloon and get "a single
drink. The young boys, Indians
and the common drunkards, all can
now get all the whiskey they want,
and not single cent of revenue is
paid into the city, county or state
for its sale. The fines collected for
the illegal sale of liquor will not
equal one per cent of what the sa-
loon keeper would have to pay in
license, wi lie the costs of prosecu-
ton are l,tC0 per cent greater than
the amount collected in fines. Now
if whiskey is to be sold would it
not be better to have It sold legally,
and by responsible parties, under
heavy bond than to have II boot
legged about town and sold in low
disreputable dives, by vicious,
lawless gangf II Is our opinion
that prohibition has been blight
ing curse to this state; that Il has
impeded immigration, and that it's
tendency is to tear down instead of
build up. II makes thieves, liars
perjurers of those who buy whiskey,
aud more young men have become
drunkards under prohibition than
there would under well regulated
high license saloon system. We
hope that the people of Chetopa
will study this qu .stion carefully
before they sign anypetition for the
retention of this farcical law upon
our statute books.-Chetopa Demo-
crat.
