Cook Sizes Armstrong Up.


The editor of the Barking Beacon.
whose front name is Despair, came out
| last week in a doleful and heartrend-
Ing wall for county pap. The good
Deacon's Pefferian whiskers trembled
| with righteous indignation as he penned
a heavy editorial On the selfish ingrat-
itude of the board of county commits
sioners in not designating his sheet as
the official county paper. He recites
| between hysterical sobs, how he has
increasingly labored in the vineyard of
reform, but that after the crop of Off
cial grapes have been successfully gath
cred, his portion are the sour ones.
We feel for the Deacon but we can't
reach him. Especially as he has been
SO active of late In trying to reform his
wicked town. Surely an editor whose
efforts have resulted in depriving his
city of electric lights. walks, night
Waterman, and other conveniences, is
deserving of rich reward from men
of all parties. The only surprising part
of the business is that the board did not
rise as one man and make Armstrong
the county printer by reclamation.
But the Beacon man seems to think
the job was his right, and hints at an
agreement. He knows very well there
was absolutely no agreement of any
kind In the county printing matter this
year. Two years ago Commissioner
Dick voted for him under protest, but
in the light of events since then, he
declares that if the good lord will for
| give him, he will never do it again.
The Beacon nor any other county paper
| have fright" to the county printing if
| a majority of the board sees fit to give
1t to them, but there the fright" ceases
| The editor of the Beacon has on sew
eral occasions vilified and traduced the
| commissioner from this district, because
| he did not carry out the personal de-
sires of the editor. but now that Mr.
| Dick refuses to vote for his sheet, he
bellows like sucking calf
Besides. the space in the Barking
Beacon is altogether too valuable to be
| prostituted to the vulgar purpose OF
| advertising tax lists, road notices and
the like. Every column is needed to
carry on the fight for the bootleggers
and the unlicensed saloon. and to make
the burden of the property holder and
tax payer as heavy as possible. Arm
strong is ungrateful. he should bethank.
full indeed, that the board has shown
such consideration, in refusing to allow
| his great reform editorials to be crowd
ed out.-Ellinwood Leader.

THE prohibitionists of Kansas are
afraid to trust the people. They have
a law on the statute books, placed
there by the republican party many
years ago when the people believed
or large ma ,rlty bellevedIthat the
g. O. p could do no wrong, but which
law is contessedly imperative and IN
popular. La the present legislature a
bill has been introduced to submit to
the voters of the state an amendment to
that Ia y. which amendment if carried
would strengthen prohibition and make
it more easily enforced. And what is
the result? From every republican
and prohibition stronghold in Kansas
comes in petitions by the mile pro-
testing AGAINST submitting to a vote
of the people proposition to strength
en- the prohibitory Iiqlor lawl They
would rather keep the farcial, nope
rative law as it is than TO permit the
70 ers of the state to express then sell
yes on the matter at the polls.

a Timely Fable.

On the evening of the I'd of February,
1899, as the hollyhock tlnged clouds
over southwest of the coming state
normal annex indicated that the sun
was hiding out. Mr.. G. Hog, with
icycles on his whiskers and his winkers
pulled well down over his eyes ap-
peared at the door of Mr.. Roballison.
west end, and in an icecream freezer
voice said:
''Please, Mr.. Roballison, slet me in;
I'm nearly frozen to death and can't
find my hole until find ''me shadder, -
I've looked for it all day, and now that
the Deacon has doused the electric
glims l can't even solace myself with
a night time shadow. -
"Go-long, you old reProbate, L have
troubles of my own," replied Mr..
Roballison, as he prepared to close the
door and heave in another cob.
But Mr.. G. Hog wept copiously. and
the falling tears, which froze to little
globes of ice, ratified on the porch floor
as the unfortunate harbinger of Spring
begged for the loan of some warmth.
"Do let me in to thaw out" be
pleaded. Think, Mr.. Roballison,
what good 1 have done by coming out
of my hole to-day; for as 1 have been
as unsuccessful in finding my shadow
as Deacon Armstrong has been in clos
ing the Great Bend joints, the fates
decree that l must give NY hole the
dirty shake until about o'clock mex
fall, aud that spring will come soon
and Old Winters spinal column is
busted. Think of the saving in Goa
bills to all the people, Mr.. Roballison,
and do let me in
But Mr.. Roballison became wroth,
and he lifted Mr.. G. Hog one under
the chin with his ample brosan that
sent the harbinger of spring into thu
| middle of the street, and closed the
door with bang.
