Dispensary Law for Kansas.

Kansas may adopt the state dispensary
plan for dealing with the liquor question
Representative Green. of CowIey. has in
troduced a bill in the house providing for
the adoption of the South Carolina dispen-
sary plan with certain notifications. In
stead of selling the liquor at profit, as
is the method of the state dispensary in
South Carolina, MIR. Green proposes that
Kansas sell liquor for the actual cost,
plus the cost of handling He believes a
measure of this character would tend to
drive the saloons and joints out of the
state and would insure the lawful sale of
liquor.
The bill provides for the creation of
the office of state liquor dispenser and
provides that the officer shall have assis-
tants in each town in the state. Drug
store licenses to sell liquor will be revok-
ed and the local liquor dispensers will
take their places. The bill provides that
the state dispensary shall sell only the
best liquor in the market.

G. E. Roughton has introduced the fol-
lowing bill in the House:
t'rhat whenever any money shall be
hereafter collected as rental of any school
lands situated in any county in this stale,
such money so derived from such lands so
situated shall be paid into the Office of
the treasurer of the county in which such
lands are situated and shall become and
be part of the school fund for such
county,
AS the law stands, this money
must be sent to the general school fund,
and counties who have no school land get
the benefit of it. Thus it Will be seen
that the new law would be of consider
able benefit to the counties hayipg school
land.

The Southwest country which has been
lying unnoticed by the outside world, will
i q few months be the center of attrac-
ton. The extension going into the city
of Ell Paso, Texas, thence to the Pacific
coast will make a most desirable route for
the tourist. The special features of the
route will be the delightful climatic con-
ditions- The scenery will be the best:
the rolling prairies, pretty streams and
bubbling riverlets, the ragged foothills
and imposing mountains, the rich valleys
with their thousand herds of fine cattle,
and the rich mineral districts of New
Mexico, present pleasing view for the
weary traveller. The straightest line
known in the railway world is another
feature of the road. One hundred and
twenty miles of the extension from Liber-
al to EI Paso, has not a single curve and
very slight elevations. 1t is probable
that the best speed records will he made

ComMENr ON CURRENT THINGS

We heard man say that Mrs Nations
crusade was anarchy. 1t is violation of
law by violence. That VioIators of the
law had the protection of the law until
they judged guilty, That no one
could take the law into his own hands
We heard another man say that revolu-
tions came from crusades like Mrs. Natl
on's. The spark that kindled the French
revolution was from under oppression
and all forms of vice and iron heel.
We heard another man say that he be-
lieved Mrs Nation prompted from
motives of good when she first attacked
the joints, but under the infatution of the
time and applause of the People she has
become to believe that she is called OF
the Lord.
We heard another man say that John
Browns soul was marching on. That
the seed he sowed in Kansas in the border
warfare bore fruit in the civil war. That
his execution at Harper's Ferry was the
crucif1xion of slavery.
We heard another man say that joint
keepers would be justified in retailiating e
in kind-that smashing of joints would
recoil on the smashers. That it just
as lawful to smash church windows as
joint windows. Well let them try it and
see where it will end.
We heard another man say that the
closing of joints would open the way TO
! boot Logging, that the liquor crusade did
not stop the sale of liquor.
We heard another man say that Kansas
| is the seed bed of all isms. There was
John Brown; there was Ingalls,, there
was Jerry Simpson. there was Mrs.
! Lease and now we have Mrs Nation
We heard another man say that the
/ i of NTrc
ton and that no indictment can stand
against her work. Christ destroyed the
| temple and said for this thing there
all these things must come to pass, but
the end is not yet.
We heard another say that this tragic
movement by Mrs. Nation must neces-
sar1ly be short lived, but its fruits would
be borne in the future-lt would not be
forgotten-but was the beginning of
conflict that would end finally in the des.
truction of the saloon
However these things may be, there i:
no spirit Of revolution among the Ameri-
can people today. The Nation move.
ment will lead, if to nothing else, a bet
ter enforcement Of the prohibitory law.

The magnitude of business relations in
the United States must be marvellous.
fTrainloads of coal pass over the Santa
Fe- laily from all the coal regions in the
country, to supply the motive power of
this road along the line of its own coal
beds. Surely the carrying of coal to
Newcastle finds no more complete exem-
plification than in this great movement of
coal freight. And the cost of CranspOr-
tation must be great. especially from the
coal fields of Pennsylvania. And here is
a suggestion that miners should be better
paid. The railroad companies have al
ready spent more IN transportation of
coal than the increased cost of wages to
miners would amount to in ten years If
coal operators would pay decent price
to coal mineis and charge reasonable
price for coal, all this trouble might be
obviated. But the strife for wealth is at
the bottom of it all.

There is no cause for alarm over con-

These municipal incidents have no great
seat of unrest. They will effervese. break
cut and heal over with better and more
healthy conditions. The traffic is
gigantic and the evil of dram drinking
harmful and extensive, but there is a
moral sense which asserts itself under our
forms of civilization without danger to
the welfare of the people. The cure of
evils is in the progress of a healthy moral
tone which is bound TO triumph.

The resources of the United States are
ample. No section of the contry can
long be in want of the necessaries of life.
There is abundant provisions for all If
the orange crop of Florida is a failure
the California crop will supply the de-
mand. There is always wheat left over
to tide a famine. The country is self
supporting with an abundance for ex-
port and home demand. no matter from
what source it may be needed. Colorado
potatoes may fill the place of the potato
rot in Vermont, and Pennsylvania coal
can overcome the demand of the Colora-

One of the most remarkable invcn-
'ions marking the opening of the
twentieth century Is the method de-
vised by Prof. Michael !. Pupin, OF
Columbia University, for sending tele-
phonc messages through ocean cables.
The chief reason why telephoning
through summarize cables has MT here
tofore been successful Is because cleo
tricity is retarded in passing through
them. The retardation Is variable.
and It's effect upon telephone mes
sage sent through cable Is to produce
n tumble Of the sounds which renders
them unintelligible. Professor Pupin's
invention consists in attaching to the
cable, at intervals of about an eighth
of a mile. little coils of wire, which
have the effect of preventing the retar-
dalton Of the current. 1t Is believed
that an Atlantic cable can now be con-
structed which will render converse.
