The Twice-a-Week Republic.

Every Monday and Thursday a newspaper
as good as a magazine-and better, for it
contains the latest by telegraph as well as in
teresting stories-is sent to the subscriber of
the 'eTwice-aWeek" Republic, which is only
81 year.
The man who reads the ssTwice-atWeek
Republic knows all about affairs political,
domestic and foreign events; is posted about
the markets and commercial matters general
ly.
The woman who reads the ssTwice-a-
Week. Republic gathers bit of valuable
information about household affairs and late
fashions and finds recreation in the bright
stories that come under both the headings of
fact and fiction. There is gossip about new
books and dozen other topics of especial in

We are always inclined to ask
ourselves the question, "What would
Jesus do9" because we think it ap-
plicable at all times and upon all
occasions. We read where the vile
jointists are driven out of different
towns in Kansas. Now, these per-
sons go into other cities in the state,
and if these fellows are such mean,
low down violators of the law, what
is gained by forcing them upon an
other community Would Jesus do
it9 Have we any record where Jesus
ever resoFted to the civil law to &C
complish his works? We think the
processing Christians of this age
ought to frequently ask themselves
the question, ssWhat would Jesus do
if he lived on earth to-day"

Railroad Talk.

From The Liberal News, Nov. %.
On Monday telegram from the
Rock Island headquarters came to
this place and messenger procured
to find the chief engineer of the sur
veyors now at work in the southwest.
1t is rumored that the telegram bears
an order for the surveyors to stop
work and report at headquarters.
There seems to be a decided
change in the proposed extension
affair. A recent press report says
that General Manager H. A. Parker
was down on the Mangum line, the
branch from the main line of the
Rock Island at Chickasha, Ind. Ter.
and went overland to ElPaso, Texas,
and it is thought the extension will
be made from Mangum instead of
Liberal. The reason given for the
change is that the distance from
Mangum to Ell Paso is shorter than
from this city to the proposed ter
minus. Should the management of
the road make the change of the
place of the extension from Liberal
to Mangum, this city will continue
to do business and will suffer no dis
appointment.

plurality of 25,S44; Stanley by II,

ernor is 8,475 behind the President.
We would regret to think that the
vile whiskey men of Kansas did it,
however, it shows that he is not a

1000 to 1900 behind the other
state officers, being second lowest in

The Morrison murder trial at FL
dorado is attracting attention all
over this part of the United States.
This murder grew out of love af-

of love affairs, they often end in
tragedy.

him to come back some time ''when

The Prohibition Farce.

The chairman of the prohibition
national committee has announced
that funds for the 1904 campaign are
already being collected. Another
fasco is being prepared.
The official figures in the Kansas
election give Mckinley I85, $50 votes
Bryan I62, COL and Woolley, the
prohibition candidate only 3,6o5-
and this in the prohibition state of
Kansas. Holsinger. the prohibition
candidate for governor, received
only 2,6s5 votes, where SANKEY'S
vote was 1915 o4 and Credentials
164, $40. In 1896 the prohibition
vote in Kansas was only 1921. In
1884 the prohibition vote in Kansas
was nearly 5000, in 1886 twas over
8, 900, in 1888 nearly 1000, in 1892
it was 1880, and in 1894 it was
5,4o6. 1t will be seen therefore that
since 1896 it has sunk to insignifi-
cant proportions.
In the nation at large it is similar
ly quite Insignificant. In 1896 Nc
Kinley received 7,IoA777 votes.
Bryan $500, IS votes and the pro-
hibitionist candidate, lowering, re-
ceiyed only 1870 This was just
half of the prohibition vote of 1892,
and was less than the vote in 1888
or even than St. Johns vote in 1884.
Such figures throw an interesting
light on "third parties They show
how small and futile they are, and
how few voters will lose sight of the
vast and important interests of the
nation to promote some one narrow
issue of their own.
Probably no clique of discredited
politicians resorted to more low
intrigue, SANDER and misrepresenta-
ton in the last presidential cam
paign than the prohibition managers.
Their organ went to extremes in lib
cling the president. The canteen
law was used, particularly among
the Methodists, to cut down the Re-
publican vote. A special train was
sent flying through the states, and
everywhere appeals were made to
prejudice and passion and every
where the boldest and most malig-
nant misrepresentation were used.
The executive committee of the
prohibition party after the election
pretended to believe that the pro-
hibition vote would be doubled OF
quadrupled, and that Woolley would
receive in the United States half a
million votes. Judging from the
scant increase in Kansas and the
heavy decrease in Illinois and other
states their vote will be less than
ever. All the ISLANDERS printed by
the prohibitionists, all the specious
arguments made before the Metho-
dist conference, all the thousands
and millions of leaflets sent broad
cast over the country vilifying the
republican party and its Leadership
availed nothing. People have toe
much sense.-Leavenworth Times.
The above is from a Republican
paper, and presents the exact status
of the Prohibition Party.
