Had they not feared It they would have
let il alone.
THE campaign before US promises to
be the fiercest in the history of prohl-
bition. We have to cope with an enc
my that is always alert, and that has
been much encouraged by recent events.
Three things have combined to en-
courage the foes Of prohibition: The
apparent apthy of the temperance peo-
pie while the saloon was being Te-estab-
lshed in many parts of the state; the
confession Of failure in enforcing proh.-
bitiOn made by the state executive and
the suggestion from the same high
source that some European or South
ern method Of dealing With the great
liquor problem might be profitably sub
stituted for the policy which hitherto
Kansas has been proud to call her own.
$50 il is demanded that the police com
mission law be repealed. and that even
before its repeal ii shall be allowed to
become a dead letter by inactivity OF
the executive; that the constitutional
amendment shall he re-submitted and
repealed. Also that meanwhile each
city shall be permitted to determine for
itself whether the constitution shall
operate within its limits.
Several reasons exist for the revival
of anti-prOhibition feeling. The saloon
interest desires to cover the ground il
has lost in Kansas by reason of prohi-
bition. lis pretense that more liquor il
sold in Kansas now under license "a
shown to be false by the frantic effort Il
is making TO overthrow this system
Another cause for this Internal 70
vival is found in the unwilhngness Of
business men in the larger cities 20 bear
their proper share Of municipal taxa
ton. To save themselves from an eqUit
able occupation tax they want the sa-
loon licensed SO that the city may he
lighted and policed by money stolen
from barefooted children and starving
women. Added 70 these the politicians
oppose prohibition because il is a Dis
turhing element in politics They can
always reckon upon the saloon. but The
temperance element. the stronger i BE-
comes the less can i b. relied on -
boost into power the men who make
politics trade. With this combination
Of unhoiv elements against ND We mus,
need take NJ the gauntlet that has been
thrown down and enter once more upon
he old old struggle"

BEES shAT CAUSE A LAWSUIT.

b NORRIS COUNTY FARMER UPsETs A HIVE. AND
HIS NEIGHBOR GETS THE BENEFIT.
ND-ristown July : (SpeciaD.-A farmer named
Charles Thornton. living in the upper part OF Norris
County had a painful experience with hive OF
bees about two weeks ago, and through their
agency is likely to be plunged into litigation with
his nearest neighbor.
A hive OF bees stood Thorntons kitchen
door and their proximity 10 the house was con-
slant menace. About two weeks ago. he decided
the hive away from the house and put IL
by the line fence, which separated his farm from
that OF his neighbor, Samuel Bales. In moving the
hive he excited the bees, and the angry Insects
swarming all over his head and face his
cries FOR help soon brought his wife and hired man
10 his assistance but before they could rescue him
he had been badly stung He was laid up in bed
FOR nearly a week, and when he got out he found
that his bees had swarmed on his neighoors tree
and Bales mad hved them When Thornton asked
Bales for his bees he was met win a nat re-
fusas Bales declaring that they were wild bees. and
BE was entitled TO them. Thornton threatens 70
bring suit for the recovery OF his bees. and the
outcome is being watched with great interest by
the farmers.
