ABOUT THE KANSAS WOMEN

reyolves too but only around the axle
Kansas Is the central state, therefore
the hub around and about which all
the other states seem to revolve. Kan

than any other commonwealth. Be
ing the hub Kansas revolveS only
around her own axle, which seems TO
be her women. Few, in any event.
will deny that Kansas Hubs. do their

a cold day when a greater or less num-

Of the abnormal and of the utterly i'm
possible things held to have happened
somewhere in the west, are Immediate

SaS. But through it all the Kansas
woman never fails to be in evidence.
The Chicago Record says that there is
something about the Kansas woman
an easy, daring grace-that makes her
stand out above the rest of humanity.
Mary Elizabeth Lease is an example
Of this, but she is not the only one. A
dispatch from Topeka Kansas. informs
us that forty young school ma'amS who
are molding young brains in the vicin-
age known as No-Man's-Land, having
looked about them for a plan to occupy
their leisure moments. have hit upon
cattle raising. They have no intention
of stopping school teaching on this &C
count the embarrassing business being
nothing but a side issue

they undertake cattle-raising to make

young women who hold this weak.

PLEADS FOR REsUBM1ss1oN.

The Topeka Press appeals to the
| Prohib leaders to assent TO the result
mission of the constitutional amend
ment The Press appeals TO the wrong
crowd. and will appeal in vain to it.
| 1t points out that man can be a con-
sistent ProhibitioniSt and at the same
! time be a reSubmissionist That is
! true though, and it is true that there
are many ProhibitiOnists who being
dissatisfied with the workings Of the
law desire it reaffiT1ned and strength
| ened or otherwise repealed for some
thing more satisfactory. But this is
not true of a single one of the leaders,
who would not consent TO another vote
upon the question if they could pre-
vent it. though nine out of every Ten
voters in the state were making the
Identical plea put up by the Press.
These leaders care nothing for the det-
riment to the state, care nothing for
anything so long as they can hold and
control the political leaders of the Re
publican party. These PrOhib leaders
profess the utmost confidence in the
people, but it is a lip profession. Such
men as Wake and his cOmpatriOtS who
have broken poor MorTill'S back, and
distracted the Republican party Of the
state as it was never distracted before,
by forcing upon it an issue which it
had distinctly relegated only a few
months ago, will swallow without Il
wink Bill Campbell's ridiculous asser-
tons to the effect that there is no Illicit
liquor selling in Wichita, but they will
never see or agree to anything which
would deprive them of the leverage
which they have upon the party and the
state. They assert, and with Il cool
confidence that is amazing, that they
know that an overwhelming majority
Of the people Of Kansas are in favor of
the retention of the amendment, and
then, in the next breath, admit that the
result at the polls might be doubtful. If
asked for an explanation they assert
that the danger would arise from the
money the liquor interests would pour
into the state for the purchase of votes,
failing, or refusing TO see that the said
liquor interests would have TO buy up
ProhibitionistS, as the resubmissionists
would vote against the amendment
anyway. The Press ought to see that
IeSubmiSSiOn can never come Of any
pleadings. If it comes at all it will be
through compulsion, come as it came in
Iowa. 1t is a case of demand and |
action, not Of persuadings. With men |
like Wake and his contingent it is not |
a question of the right of the minority |
to be heard, nor vet a question of the |
desires Of the majority, however great, |
but one of their ability for holding
down the situation, and, in directing |
and controlling the powers that be, en-
forcing their own views and opinions, /
whatever may be the convictions of |
minorities or of majorities. Any claim |
for the right of petition, or of that
which is held to be inalienable, is to
them but the wall of the morally OBJ
fuse, but the selfish cry of the vicious
and wicked
