Badly nlxed.

In his speech before the Kansas Day
club, January %, Governor Stanley
said: ''Forty years ago tonight came
to Kansas and slept on the prairie
with John Brown. AS we lay under
the clear sky on the dry grass that
great man unfolded to me his plan for
the emancipation Of the negroes. y
The governor is Surly mixed in his
dates. stForty years ago tonight" was
January %, 1861. The herd book says
that Browns last appearance in Kan
Sas was at the battle Of the Spur, near
Holton, December 20, 1858. On that
date he crossed the line into Nebraska
and did not return. He was executed
in 1860. It must have been some time
in 1858, therefore, that Stanley slept
with Brown. That being true, STAN
ley was only IA years old when Brown
made a confidant of himself in the
herd book that he was born in 1888.
But there is another error out some
where. Stanley says in the herd book
piece that he was admitted to the bar
before moving to Kansas, and then
goes on to say that he located at Per-
ry, Jefferson county, in April, 1870,
nine years after the dry grass Incl
dent. Tom Anderson, a Topeka hair
splitter, has looked up the record and
finds that on the night Stanley says
he slept on the dry grass with Brown
the ground was covered with snow.
Where the governor made his mistake
was in not allowing Henry Allen to
edit his Kansas Day speech.-Advo-
cate.

The state binding Irvine plant in
the penitentiary at Leavenworth is
now in the hands of it's enemies, who
are doing everything in their power to
make it failure. Already the far
mers of Kansas have been benefited
thousands of dollars worth by this
plant when the Irvine was sold direct
to the farmers. Now our republican
friends propose to sell only to the
wholesalers, and worse than all, they
have agreed with the trust to main
tain the trust prices. So you see good
laws are not of much benefit when
they are left to the enemies of the law
to enforce the same. Until the friends
of the people are put in Office to exc
cute the laws, it is of little use to
have good laws placed upon the stat
ute books.

Prohibition in Hiawatha.

One of the results of the recent re-
vival meetings is vigorous crusade
against the illegal selling of liquor in
Hiawatha. Last week a committee
headed by DR.. Stewart of the Presby-
terial church called on Jas. Watson
and told him that they had abundant
evidence that he had been violating
the prohibition law and that he must
go out of business or stand prOSecu-
tion. Watson quit and for sale sign
is on the front door of his building.
The proceeding was a dignified one
and demonstrates as the Democrat
has always contended that when you
tell the violatorS of the law that they
must quit, and they understand that
you mean business that the prohibit
DRY law is as easy to enforce as any
law on the statute book.
A. J. Eicholtz has also decided to
quit handling liquor. Eicholtz had
a permit but he surrendered it and
shipped back his unbrOken stock. The
balance was turned over to the evan
gelist and was publicly destroyed.
The other druggists of the town
have been waited on with a demand
that they surrender their permits and
agree to keep no more liquor.

One provision of the new election
bill is that township tickets and con-
stitutional amendments Shallbe print
ed on separate ballots. That strikes
US as foolish departure. Another fea-
ture which is intensely partisan, con-
fines the heading of the ticket to two
words, one of which shall be party"
and prohibits the use of a compound
word. A party should have the right
to any name it may see fit to choose,
compound or otherwise; and it should
have the right to have said name
printed on the ballot. We do not
think it fair that candidates name
should appear twice on the ballot; but
if voters wish to organize and name
themselves the demo-pop party, for
instance, we think that is their right.
Tt is nobody's else business what name
they may adopt for their own use. An
advantage gained by an unfair use of
power never does a party lasting good.

Economy in the Senate.

"The state senate is composed of
forty members. To enable these forty
members to get in and out and to pro-
teet them from indignant constitu-
ents requires eight doorkeepers. To
keep them straight and to keep peace
among them gives employment to
four sergeant-at-arms. It takes four
guards to cloak-rooms to keep tramps
from swiping their overcoats and hats,
two postmasters to handle their mail,
seven janitors to sweep up the litter
they make and keep the spittoons
cleaned up, eight pages to come and
go at their beck and call, and forty
clerks to make out their accounts
against the state and to do what little
other writing is required. The only
economical feature in the whole ar
rangement is that they have only one
chaplain to pray for them. "-Holton

When State Supt. Nelson found who

to quit at once and denounce the

A man does not depend upon his

A man does not depend upon his
country, but country depends upon
the character of it's citizens. A ma
tion must inevitably go where it's citi-
zens take it, and it's citizens have no
business to make its destiny an evil
one. Hence they have no business to
say "my country, right or wrong. "
When the country is going wrong it is
the business of those who see the fact
to pull back with all their might;
that, if possible, the nation may avoid
the gulf of ruin to which every wrong
course leads.-Sentinel of Liberty.
