MR.. GRIFFIN MAKES REPLY.

|CDITOR TIMES: In the last is
sue of your valued paper yor
- ask for my opinion of the much
talked-of Carrie Nation crusade.
With much reluctance, born of a
feeling of utter incompetency, Of
fer the following rambling thoughts;
Prohibition is the settled and fix
ed policy of Kansas. The sober,
industrious, prosperous and law
abiding people of the state are
heartily in favor of it, while it is
opposed by the combined whiskey
and beer manufacturers of the Unit
ed States, the wholesale whiskey
houses in and out of Kansas, nu
merous joint and saloon keepers and
whiskey- selling druggists, together
with the straight-out and semi Grim
inal classes in the state, and small
per cent of good meaning but ill-ad'
vised people.
The different factions of the whis-
key power are by far the most &C
tive factor in politics. And their
combined influence is an irresistible
force in battling the enforcement of
the law. 1t is urged by the opposi-
ton that the law is a dead failure;
that the people are tired of it and
anxious to have it repealed. But
when any measure to that end is in
troduced before legislative body
fresh from the people, these con-
tentions are easily and decisively
refuted. In proof l would cite the
Inquisition bill passed by the pres
ent house of representatives in COM
mittee of the whole, on the Sth inst
The vote stood 81 for, 80 against.
Said bill is Strengthening act to
the prohibitory law and shows plain
ly that sixty-one of the ninety-one
members voting, who were elected
last November, are in favor of the
law and its enforcement. Said act
will pass the senate and add strength
to the law, as it will give county at
torneys power to bring any witness
before a justice and compel him to
testify as to any knowledge he may
have of violations of the law.
But it is not unlikely that the op-
POSITIONS wonderful ingenuity will
find some way to evads it as they
have the many laws that have been
passed for the same purpose. The
whiskey venders have been so sue
cessful in evading laws that it has
become the policy of the officials of
many towns 70 protect instead of

prosecute them. Thus the joints
and many drug stores (Which are
really joints) have become common
nuisances in the towns; and in the
cities of the state the glittering sa-
loon has been running in all its. old
time glory.
1t seems, however, that new and
very efectual plan has been discov
cred, which for effectiveness as well
as cheapness, puts all former laws
and methods of dealing with the
traffic TO shame. 1t is the Carrie
Nation hatchet method, which l be-
lieve to be the beginning of the end
of the saloon in Kansas. l want,
and expect to see, brigade of
home defenders organized in every
town in the state. 1t is fitting that
The example has been set in our
state capital, that our best and most
distinguished men and women have
become identified with the crusade
against the saloon. The process is
as simple as it is effective: A few
resolute women, few hatchets, a
leader, forward march to victory.
1t is strange that as long as we
nave been combating this lawless
business we have not long ago dis
covered that no unlawful busines
can claim the protection of the law,
and that it is legal and right for any
ltizen to destroy any business run
nlng in violation of law. Let tue
good work go on, and if some OF
the red-faced law breakers think
they can find law with which to
prosecute and punish the noble &C
If defending home and loved ones.
let them face the jury problem witt
the boot on other foot. Lei
them try procuring jury of twelv,
men "good and true," all of WHOM
will vote to condemn mother, wife
or sister for protecting her home
and happiness against law breakers.
l saw a letter, few days ago,
from a saloon keeper in Kansas CITY
10 Mother Nation, shaming her T r
ner "awless proceeding" He al
mitted that temperance work was all
right, but he admonished her to pro-
ceed along the line of "moraI sua-
sion," assuring her the same would
be much more becoming to lady
and Christian Poor fellow! Well
does he know that his business has
never been injured by attacks of
that character, but he breads the
coming of the little hatchet. 1t was
The hatchet of the Father of Our
Nation that destroyed the cherry
tree, and the hatchet of Mother Ma
tion will destroy the saloon in our
beloved state.
Then all honor to Mother Nation
and the many men and women who
take up her good work and pulver
ize the rum power in Kansas!

James Callahan has been arrested
at Omaha on the charge of being
one of young Cudahy's kidnappers.
The boy positively identifies him as
the man who told him he was a
sheriff and who guarded him while
he was in the house. This man
Callahan is known to be q great
friend of Pat Grove. The police
think they have surely caught one
of the men.

1t now seems certain that China
will submit to the demands of the

all the claims will be made if the

defenseless Chinese and kill a few
thousand more of them.

A FATAL RAID.

A small hamlet about twelve miles
from Leavenworth, called Mllwood,
was thrown into wild confusion
Monday night by the attempt of a
number of farmers to close a low
dive that has for years been running
in the little burg.

THE MERRY WORK GOES ON.

Last Sunday morning at six O'Clock
Mrs. Nation marshalled large force
and started out on raid. he
crowd had been assembling about
the state house for couple Of hours
before Mrs. Nation arrived. By
previous arrangements the army was
TO move at five O'Clock, but M S.
Nation oversight and did not ap-
pear on the scene till six O'Clock.
Sne Immediately gave TIE order to
move, and led the procession. Near
4 the front of the procession marched
six Washburn students, carrying a
batterlng ram. Mrs. Nation allow
ed no halt till the Murphy saloon
was reached, on Sixth street.
Here they were confronted by
four policemen on guard. The po-
lice commanded order but Mrs. Ma
ton commanded smash, and smash
they did. The policemen were
showed aside and the battering ram
of the students effectually did its
work on the plate glass front.
Soon the whole front was batter
ed and chopped out and the crowd
rushed in and the work of destruc-
ton proceeded. The work was kept
up till there was nothing else in
sight to smash. During'the early
part of the smashing process, Mrs.
Nation was arrested and taken away.
The crowd, left without leader,
completed their work at the Muir
ply place but did not attack any
other. Mrs. Nation was soon re-
leased on bond and, gathering up
4 small band of her followers, made
a raid on a livery stable where some
bar fixtures were stored and pro-
ceeded to smash.
Not satisfied with this, she led the
way to the Moseb cold storage plant
where liquor was supposed to be
stored. She broke into the place but
found no liquor. While ransacking
the building, she was arrested and
again taken to Jail, where she gave
bond and was released.
All told, last Sunday was the most
.wideawake day Topeka has seen in
long time. A Pop convention is
nowhere in the whooper-up spirit
that prevailed all day. The city
police were powerless to protect the
property of joint, even had they
wished, and we are inclined to the
belief that they did not try very hard.
Topeka jointists are not the only
ones that are having trouble. All
over the whole state, at various
places, the people are giving these
, law breakers days or hours to pack
up aud get and generally they get up
and 70. In few towns where they
were little slow about IT, smashing
has been INDUCED in. The raiders
at Winfield have had the toughest
time Of it. There the jointists re-
sisted and severe knock-downs were

THE MASS MEETING.

The citizens meeting at the op-
era house Wednesday night was
we'll attended.
J. M. Allen was made chairman,
and d. M. Kennedy secretary. A
set of resolutions was read by c. V.
Dennis. chairman of committee
appointed at a previous meeting,
and adopted by acclamation.
Speeches were made by J. M. AL
len, Revs. Lagerquist, Adams and
Hankins, S. w. Brewster, C. S. Ma
ton and F. M. Dawdy.
The speakers did not counsel vio-
lence, only as a last resort, but
claimed pressure should be brought
to bear on our officers, such as
would induce them to do their sworn
duty.
Following are the resolutions:
WHEREAS. The character of the people is ex-
pressed in the laws they enact, and the obed-
ence to law is the fundamental condition OF
we'll regulated society, and the permauence and
progress of society arc conditioned by its re-
spect for these laws:
WHEREAS, The law-abiding citizens of Cha
mute have reasons to believe that certain per
sons are in deliberate and persistent violation
of the State and Municipal laws:
Therefore. We hereby constitute ourselves a
Law and Order League. and we do hereby de-
mand of our County and Municipal officers the
enforcement of the Prohibtory Law, and we do
hereby pledge our personal and united assist
ance to that end:
And we hereby serve notice upon all violators
of law, that we have endured the violation Of
laws until forbearance has ceased to be a vir-
tue. When reduced to its last analysis the
right to enact carries with it the right to en-
force. This right inalienably resides with the
sovereign people. In the exercise of this right
this law has been enacted and in the exercise
of this right this law shall be enforced.

reached was in the fiscal year of 1898,
the number being 9e3,7l4. or within
200 of the number which were on the

marriage, N53, minors reaching the
age of rs. 1,53S; other causes, 1851.
