No State Normal Branch.

Last week the state senate passed
Senator Armstrong; bill to establish a
branch of the state normal school at
Great Bend, and accepting the offer of
this city to donate to the state the col
lege building and grounds, by vote of
Fl to II.
Then, apparently the ''grafters'' got
in their work. The vote was recon
sidered, and the motion lost by vote
of ~ to II.
It looks very much like the senate
was playing horse, and playing it in a
mighty awkward, bungling manner.
The proposition of this city was the
only equitable, practicable one before
the legislature, and there was every
reason why it should have been accept.

In this connection we want to say
that the wrong man was sent down tc

Sediticn. Treason, Rebellion.

According to the constitution the
treaty making power resides in the
President and the Senate. A treaty
not ratified by the Senate is null and
void, and the constitution makes it the
right and duty of the Senate to sit in
judgment on every treaty presented to
it. AS treaty ratified by tue Senate
becomes the law of the land and may
involve the most momentous conse-
quences, it is the highest duty of the
Senators to speak and vote their con-
vlctions in dealing with treaties. They
are the guardians of the nations well
fare.
But according to the Administration
cuckoos the Senators who exercised
their constitutional right and perform
ed the high duty of speaking and vot-
ing their Independent convictions in the
treaty of peace, involving one of the
greatest questions of policy in the his
tory of the United States, were guilty
of sedition. Their criticism of the
Presidents proposed foreign policy and
their opposition to the treaty submitted
to their judgment were copperheadism
| and treason.
We shall have to correct our ideas
and get some new definitions in the
light of expansive progress. Subser-

The Kansas Farmer.

From the Golden Belt:
In Kansas there are small farms
and large farms, small ranches and
large ranches, not one of which is
worked and managed as the indutrious
and thrifty farmer in the eastern states
works and manages his little and rocky
ten.acre, but is yielding profits to-day
that mean wealth in a few years. I
am writing especially of Central
Kansas. The soil here is rich and
deep-from four to six feet-and
seemingly ia inexhaustible. Every
where wheat grows here, and yields
large returns from fields that, without
manures or composts have annually
yielded from fifteen to thlrty-fve bu-
shells an acre during almost forty
years. There are many farmers here,
with good Buildings and equipments,
no debts, and with large bank depoits,
who, when they came here, twenty
years ago, were absolutely penniless.
The days of the fakir investor and
of the gypsy land-speculator and
broker are passed away never to return.
Everything now is on a solid basis
and all land deals must be made in the
open daylight.
Throughout all this region of coun-
try, the public schools are excellent
In almost every town there are High
Schools whose graduates are qualified
to enter the State University. Good
colleges are within easy reach of every
locality. The whole state is inter-lac-
ed with railroads.

CONSIDERABLE speculation is nov

CONSIDERABLE speculation 10 Ao"
going on among the citizens of Great
Bend as to who the opposing candi-
dates for mayor will be this spring.
No one questions what the issue will
be. The voters will divide, without
regard to party lines, on the issue OF
fines or no fines for the saloons.
Strange as it may appear to persons
not posted on the fallacies of the pros
hibition law, the temperance element,
so.called, is opposed to the city fning
the saloon men for disobeying the
law, although they have failed utterly
in closing the business not only this
year bnt every year since the law has
been on our statute books. They
take the unreasonable Gin the light of
past experience) position, that the
city authorities should make no pro-
visions for in any manner controlling
the liquor tra6c. This element will
nominate q ticket composed of men OF
that way of thinking. Opposing this
element will be the more consistent,
more practical, liberal minded and
common sense element of citizens who
acknowledge the situation as they
find it; who are willing to judge the
future by the past, and to profit by
dearly bought experience. This liberal
element believes that the saloon bus.
mess can be handled with greater
satisfaction, with less drunkenness,
fewer drinking places, and more in
accord with justic to all. by having q
city law under which the liquor men
can be made to pay a fine into the
city treasury-as is done in every city
of any prominence in the state, with
two or three exceptions. The DEMO
Graf believes that majority of Great
Bends citizens will support ticket
made up of men holding this latter
belief. We know that the male voters
of this way of thinking are in the vas
majority, that practically 80 per cent
cf the business men believe that way
and we do not question the result of a
vote on those issues. A citizen
meeting should be called to provide
for the placing of sucha ticket in the
field, and it should not be delayed
until the last day ofgrace. Let us
place Great Bend in line with other en-
terprising towns, and conduct city
affairs in practicable, business.lik'
manner. The joints, like the poor
''you have always with you" W.
want fewer poor, and fewer joints
and the way to curtail the number o
both is to go at it practically, business
like and openly. With all due re
spect to many of the sincere tenn
perance people who today are in hope
that the illegal sale of liquor can ant
will be stopped in Great Bend. We
want to again tell you it cannot b.
done. Then let US all join in an eff
fort to curtail ito CONTROL it.
