these, the white and crimson embiems
Of our liberty, the red sansti6ed by the
blood Of heroes. the white made purer
By thetears of widows. Then, too, We
speak Of our battles and our achieve
menls, and exhort them to cherish the
banner upon which God has set the
seal Of his approval, and which has be
come the ark of our covenant.
With the sound of the bells that
from every valley and hilltop proclaim
to the peoples Of the earth the story Of
our liberty, there is mingled the
thanksgiving of the nation. Our prai-
ries are not wider than our love Of
country, cur mountains are not frmeE

hope We front new eras, confident thai
this great people will furnish the bull
wark against peril from without and

Monday every saloon in Goodland
closed in expectation Of legal action
that later became reality. Prohibition
triumphed, but the city is deprived Of
revenue that is sadly needed and al
most 2 necessity to our municipal gov
eminent.
And what is gained?
Men who desire to drink will con
tinue to drink; men who get drunk will
still get drunk. The only difference is
that the supplies will be bought abroad
and no part of the profits find its way
into the city treasury.
How many cellars in Goodland con-
tain stocks of liquors, for private use,
to-day? More, maybe, than the good
prohibitionists think, and the number
will constantly increase.
Kansas is not the only star in the
galaxy; there are states beyond its bOr-
ders and establishments beyond its
lines that make speciality of caterer
ing to the "Kansas liquor trade"
Statutory prohibition is a chimera;
fetch of a number of people who i'm
agine they can watt into high heaven
on the wings of earth made laws the
population of the great state of Kansas.
The prohibitionist knows he has the
whip hand of an idiotic constitutional
provision and, although he is but one in
ten thousand, all the machinery of law
is set in motion to crafty the spite of
the one to the inconvenience of the
many.
Temptation is the test of virtue, and
the only effective prohibition is person
al prohibition; the man, woman or
youth who cannot curb appetite isn't
worth trying to save or the cost of
Keeleyizing.
Meanwhile hell will continue to fill
up on law-made saints and Goodland
to sink deeper in debt.

a large force of our people have been
assisting in getting things in shape for
cheese making, which is expected to
begin Monday, July 5, OF thereabouts.
The ten-year-old son of William Cody
living north of US, was bitten on the
hand by rattlesnake, while reaching
into hole after a young gopher he
had been chasing. He did not see the
snake but thought the gopher had bit
ten him until the swelling set in. Al
though very sick they think he will re-
cover.
Come help US celebrate the Fourth
on Saturday the 3rd. of July. All the
arrangements are complete and the air
ship is en- route. We are going to have
a good time any way.
Mrs. Baker was training the chorus
for the celebration, Saturday last.
The biggest, best rain of the season
fell here Wednesday evening. We
have ne rain gauge but believd two in
Ches or more fell. It makes the pros
pect with us fine, and it is pleasant to
hear the farmers arranging for binder
Irvine, harVesters and headers. The
harvest will soon be on.
In the language Of the sport: "That
rain didn't do a thing to the potato
crop"
Miss Anna Bates accompanied DR..
Shelley on visit to patient here on
Tuesday.
Old Mr.. Hollingshead is quite low.
Messrs. smalley and Cullins, with
their families, passed through here on
Monday on their way to Colorado.
Clayton Briggs and family have
moved to town. Clate has a position
at the cheese factory.
We won't need so much bottled joy
to celebrate since the rain.
One of the features Of the Fourth
here will be the riding Of bucking
brOnchO, and it viii be @rid" even if Ed
Phipps, the owner, has to ride it him
self, for Ed is q sure enough rider, and
as such ranks with the crack ones in
Buffalo Bills congress of rough rid
ers." Ed keeps his hand in by riding
