The financial health of this
state would improve many per
cent if our Infamous liquor laws
were repealed. A bunch of fig
ures representing the amount of
money sent out of Kansas every
year for liquor would paralyze a
statistician. Money talks, in this
age of the world, and to have
the money of Kansas intimately
conversing with Missouri whole
salers, year after year, shows
that our law makers should be
tried for insanity. Prohibition
is never Democratic doctrine,
nor can any law encroaching on
Individual rights be any part of
democratic belief. A man can
never be a democrat in Kansas
and stand up for constitutional
prohibition. 1t is against the
teachings of the founders of dem
ocracy to attempt to force un-
popular laws on the citizens of a
country. The present liquor laws
are detriment to temperance
success. The law makes no man
drink less but breeds deceit
where truth and honor should
be. Absolute repeal of prohibi-
| bitiOn will make Kansas an hon
est state where it is now dishon-
est.-HutchinsOn Democrat.
OUT of all of the discussion of
the future of the peoples party
there will come a clearer percep-
tion of the best course for be-
levers in reform principles to
pursue. Just what that course
will appear to be depends largely
.fupon the question Of whether the
democrats are going to remain
Bryan democrats or go off after
the Cleveland wing. 1t is not a
question over which people
should get excited. Nothing will
be gained by getting out of
humor. Calling names and mis-
constituting the motives of others
will avail nothing. Fair, honest
discussion will benefit everybody
and lead to a decision which will
more nearly represent the will
and Judgment of the great body
of people who believe in reform
principles.-Smith County Jour
nal.
JUDGE ANsEL r. CLARK, of this
judicial district, has given a
decision declaring one of the
many buncombe political laws
of the recent republican legisla-
ture unconstitutional. w. b.
Hadlack, Of Sterling, brought
suit against the Mayor under
the law which provides for the
compulsory appointment of old
soldiers, in city appointive Off
ces. Judge Clark says the law is
unconstitutional, and that the
legislature might as well try to
force voters at the polls to vote
for old soldiers as to force their
appointment.
The "great wave of prosper
ity" which our republican friends
talk so much about leaves in its
path some queer wrecks. Fol-

HANG THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

HANG THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Richmond Leader.
We have long believed and contended
that the crime of train robbery should be
punished with death, upon the apprehen-
SIGN of men who commit that dastardly
crime. When desperate men start out to
hold up a train and rob the express car
and the passengers, they start out with
the determination to commit murder or
any other crime il necessary to carry
out their purpose. They are murderers
at heart, and they should be treated as
SUCH
AS an illustration, we point to the re-
pert sent out last night by the Associated
Press of the train robbery in Texas The
train was stopped and the engineer cover
ed with pistols in the hands of the rob-
bers. They were held under cover while
other members of the gang went to the
express car and ordered the messenger to
open it. The messenger declined and
they threatened to blow him up with dy-
Mantle. He still declined and they did
rechlessly use dynamite in breaking into
the car. Having entered the car they
blew the safe open with the same eXplo-
sive and rided it. Then they got hold
of the mail pouches and rihed them. Hav-
ing completed that part of the job they
went into the passenger coach and, car
rying mail sack with them, compelled
the passengers to give up their money
and valuables. Having stolen everything
in sight they still hung around the car
and laughed at the passengers and ter
ried them, and finally when their carni-
val of crime and ghoulish glee was ended,
they jumped on their horses and rode
away. They beat one man and would
have committed murder had they been
resisted
Fortunately these desperate chaps have
been captured, and we say that they
should be made an example Of The law
is not supposed to be revengeful but in
order to the protection of society it is
necessary that high handed crime of this
character be punished in such way as
to deter others from attempting it. 1t
is impracticable for trains which go across
the continent to be always prepared to
meet en attack of this character and
so the only protection that the travelling
public has in such cases is the protection
of the law. We believe that these train
robbers in Texas should be hanged by the

Among the Railroads.

Mr.. Robert Erwin. a civil engineer oil
Morganton, is surveying a new route
for the Carolina and Northwestern
Railroad from the bridge over the South
Fork of the Catawba, near Hardin
postoffice, to Lincolnton. The road will
then touch the following named mills
The Hardin Cotton Mills, the High
Shoals Mill, the Long Shoal Mill, In
dian Creek Mills, Lincoln County Mills,
the laboratory Cotton Mills and the
Daniel Manufacturing Company. The
new line will cover about the same dis
lance as is now covered by the old route
between the two points named. 1t is
now almost certainty that this road
will be made broad gauge within a
short while. Heavy rails are being
placed now.-Charlotte Observer.
The c. N. r. r. has been completed
to Pages Mills, S. c., and a daily train
is run from here there. Train leaves
Lumberton at $50 a. m. and returns at
