TURKEY AND GREECE.


The Settlement OF the Peace Terms Be-
tween this Two Countries Delayed by
Turkey.
LONDON. July 7.-In the house oi
lords yesterday the marquis of Sails
bury, replying to Lord Connemara,
said the delay in the settlement of the
peace terms between Turkey and
Greece was entirely the fault of the
former power There was no delay SC
far as the concerted powers were con.
cerned, but Turkey had carried deIib-
Grafton and circumspeetion to such an
excess that the delay was not without
danger, though the danger was moi
immediate. They were apparently al
present no nearer to a a<solution of the
question than at the beginning.

APPEAL TO KANsAKs.
State Temperance Union Issues = Manifesto
Want Good blea Nominated.


TOPEKA, Kan, July e.-The exeeu-
tive committee of the State Temper
ance union yesterday issued the fol
lowing manifesto:
TO all Friends Of Good Citizenship; The
oflesrs and the executive committee Of the
State Temperance union would respectfully
but earnestly urge that the utmost attention
be given everywhere throughout the state at
the coming primaries to the nomination Of the
very best men for the county officers and espe-
c!ally Tor sheriff. A candidates declaration,
taken by itself, is not sufficient II his record
e q citizen, or as a public oficer in case
be has held once, is not good, he
Is not safe man 70 receive
the suffrage and support Of good
citizens The man Who has betrayed public
confidence once is likely TO do it again Prom
ises are easily made, but they are easily
broken See to it that the man who receives
your support has record worthy your support
Surely Kansas has had enough Of recreaney to
public trust Is 1t hot time that good citizens OF
al parties give more attention at the primaries
and at the polls to the character Of the man who
asks their suffrage? Can we hope for any ma
terial or permanent improvement in the en-
torcemeIt Of the law until majority Of Inc
voters feel a stronger sense OF responsibility az
the primaries and act accordingly
We believe that Of late, in almost every part
Of the state. more interest is being shown in
good municipal government than formerly. In
many localities the citizens are moving in
united and determined effort against law
lessHeSs a joint or a drug store barFoOm has
not one whit more right to exist than an open
saloon. None OF these is q necessary evil, and
any one Of them is an enemy Of the home, foe
to society, and menace to good govern
ment ANY sane man must know that to
license any evil Of this kind is, in the end,
an expensive luxury. The moral sense Of the
community is thereby degraded. Crime and
pauperism thrive under a license system, and
taxation is increased. The baTFO0m, whether
| the openly licensed saloon or the Illegally fined
joint, is the recruiting station Of vice and po-
iitical corruption.
The summer temperance rallies which nave
thus far been held have had good local results
! Let these be continued in every county in the
state and let there be greatly increased dili-
| gence and activity along all lines Of temperance
and good eitiZenshiD

DOES FARMING PAY7
Seventy One EebTaslzans Say "NO," an
Only Twenty-Five Say ayes"

Seventy One EebrasiZaus Say "NO," and
Only Twenty One Say ayes"
LINCOLN, Neb., July 6.-The commits
sioner Of labor has received 100 replies
to the questions: 'DOes farming pay?'
and "What legislation do you think
necessary to relieve the condition of
the farmer?" SeveutY-one farmers are
of the opinion that farming does not
pay; q say it does, but many of these
say it is only when stock raising is
carried on in connection with grain
farming that a profit is secured; four
say it pays as we'll as anything else
and the remaining four are unable to
say whether it pays or not Sugges-
tions as to legislation are for antitrust
laws, bimetallism, lower freight rates,
government ownership of railroads, an
income tax and a duty on farm prod
nets.

The Struggle for Higher Wages In Five
States Begun.
PITTsBUR6H, Pa, July 6.-The great
wage struggle of the coal miners was
inaugurated throughout the Pitts
burgh district yesterday. 1t was a
day of mass meetings. BY a pTecon-
certed arrangement Of the district ex-
eeutive board of the United Mine
Workers, meetings were held in nearly
every mining settlement that was rep
resented at Saturdays convention in
this city, and the miners were in
structed not to falter in the great
struggle that has begun.
The success Of the whole movement
seems to devolve upon the men in the
Pittsburgh district, and judging from
the latest advices received from the
field the miners there propose to do
their part So far as can be learned
the operators in both the Pittsburgh
and Ohio districts do not intend to put
forth any effort to start their mines,
but have concluded to quietly close
down and await developments. at
least it will require several days for
operators to determine upon what
course to pursue.
