Last spring a citizens ticket was put
in the field with ths understanding
that It's election meant the licensing
Of joints and wide-open town. None
understood this better than the tenn
peranes people, yet they did not even
oppose the movement by voting against
ths nominees Of the citizens caucus.
Neither did they put a ticket in the
field. Their acquiescsnce gave consent
to the proposition to recognize the
liquor traffic by a system of fines which
10 reality was a license. Men we're en-
couraged to open places in which beer
was sold by this action, and for several
months IS open saloons as could be
found anywhere fourished in Good
land. Still the blue ribbon society
gave consent by silent federation, and
the city government collected revenue
at the rate Of s31 per month from each
place. But all of sudden this was put
an end to. The conscience Of temper
ance awakened and demanded that
these places should be closed and the
proprietors prosecuted. No attention
was given to the fact that a majority Of
the people Of Goodland, women in
cluded, had cast their votes for estsb-
lishment of such condition, and that
these men who they demanded should
be prosecuted had been recognized By
the city government as operating a
legitimate business. But under the
law one person vas mightier than a
majority and the county attorney was
forced to take action against a class Of
men engaging in a business, iliegiti
mate under the statute, but made law
full by the law of majority rule" The
temperance people, by making no pro
test when the proposition was open tC
ballot, we're morally estopped from
making one during the administration
of the present city government, and by
taking the action they did, the temper
ancs people of GOodland have moi
acted in good faith, but have taken ad
vantage of an unjust law to defeat The
will of the people as expressed at the
polls.

They tell a good story about q local
firm who received & letter from a back
wOodsman, who wanted a small locOmO-

follows:
"Deer Surs-I own a logging road
with kars what run on wheels with
gruves in them. We have mules to pull
the kars, but the kritters staul when
they ought to go ahead easily, so
thought an engine with steam power
attached would do better. Please write

The firm happened to have an old
narrow gauge locomotive and agreed TO
sell it for 5000.

ly all the veterans in this city, A Vir-
ginian, said he, who had been a confed-
crate officer during the war, lost his leg
in an engagement, and the amputated
member was buried on the battlefield.
After the war was over he turned re-
publican, and was elected to Office by
the republican voters of Virginia. He
finally decided to visit again the scene
Of battle for the purpose of finding his
lost leg and having it more properly
inferred. He had no difficulty in find
ing it, said the general, for, on arriving
at the spot, the leg rose ont Of the
ground and kicked him all around the
place.-American Outlook.
